Upcoming show- George Chapman w/ R Michael Gordon

[jmenges]

Tomorrow's show will be the Severin Klosowski (George Chapman) suspect show, featuring special guest, author R Michael Gordon. Gordon's books on George Chapman are:

Alias Jack the Ripper

The Thames Torso Murders of Victorian London

The American Murders of Jack the Ripper

The Poison Murders of Jack the Ripper

We love listener input!

Any questions you may have about Klosowski as a suspect for our panel or for R Michael Gordon specifically, should be posted to this thread or Private Messaged to myself.

We record Sunday at 7pm UK time, so get your questions and comments in soon.

Thanks for listening,

goodie goodie goodie !

[Malcolm X]

1........is it possible for a smooth poisoner, to have swiched M.O from a savage mutilator

2........Chapman fits the Hutch suspect sighting very well, but not quite for age; even so, it's still a good match, how likely is it that Chapman possed the smart clothing that the suspect was seen wearing, becaue this clothing would've been expensive?

3.......when exactly did G.Chapman leave Whitechapel for the U.S.A

4.......Chapman does not match the C.Brown suspect ( old shakespear)

5.......if Chapman was Jack, why are there no more ripper style murders out on the streets, either in America or back here in the U.K

6.......Chapman does not match the Eddowes suspect, because this suspect is almost definitely the ripper; the timing is so tight

7......but, could Chapman have occasionally dressed as a sailor, after all; his photo reveals a sailor type peaked hat and he had a keen interest in sailing........so he sais, but it's more likely that he was just posing; even so, there is a connection there!

if the panel say yes..........then you need to ask, but the Eddowes suspect, ( seen by Lawende) had a fair complexion, fair moustache

members, please dont answer this lot... dont do a stupid on me

Thank you Malcolm X and those who have PM'ed me so far



I will take all questions posed into consideration. Some may over lap with what I already have on tap, but never the less, your questions will get asked.

And to reiterate Malcolm's plea, lets not discuss the merits here, but move discussions to the proper threads. This is for listener questions only.

BTW... It's an audio podcast, not a TV show. In case there was some confusion.

Thankyou so much JM----I am really looking forward to downloading this! I am trying to get hold of his book on the torso murders right now via my local library!I would have liked to have asked him to what extent he thought Chapman might have used the wigs and hair dyes on display on in all those Victorian barber shops to help him out as a ladies man!
David Starkey is on tv in a new history series in a few minutes -so soon afterwards I hope to be able to download your podcast!
Best Wishes
Norma

I too am looking forward to listening to this show, especially after hearing the trials and tribulations you had to go through to get it recorded!

On point 2 id say someone like Chapman could well have either stolen a decent suit or stolen the money to pay for it.To me he seemed capable of virtually anything,a bit of theft probably was something hed undertake given the opportunity.

Thoroughly enjopy all the Rippercasts but this one was by far the best.Im still not convinced Chapmans the Ripper due to the vastly different MO other than that he ticks most of the boxes for me
