Would we have suspected Maxwell?

I'm afraid you are working from the wrong premises here.

Yes, Christer

Diddles needs to get a job in a different building.

Diddles is not the cat who will be blamed for nothing

Well, I asked the question more on the grounds of her gender. Few doubt Prater or other womens observation, but what if they had been men? Or if Hutchinson was a woman would we have put more creedence to the Astrakhan-observation?

Hi Diddles

I have seen it suggested that Mrs Maxwell was covering for her husband with her story of seeing Kelly alive that morning.

Mr Maxwell worked nights in the building opposite Millers Court.

Hi everyone,

I have a question I would like to ask your opinion about: If Caroline Maxwell had been a man would she have been suspected (like Hutchinson) by Ripper researchers?

Do we give more creedence to her story since she couldnt have been the Ripper (unless she was Jill the Ripper)?

Thoughts?

Nobody walks away when it comes to Ripper accusations, Diddles. Well, Diddles the cat perhaps, but thatīs about it. If we can accuse 73-year old men who had had a serious fit the year before, workhouse inmate imbeciles and depressed painters, then whatīs to stop us from accusing a physically fit woman in her prime?

Iīm afraid you ar working from the wrong premises here. Sadly.

All the best,
Fisherman
