the victims werent prostitutes

Hi Herlock,

The guest list was certainly interesting.

John McCarthy was neither a locally dignitary nor a prominent citizen. He was a slum landlord.

But a prominent 'slum landlord' who probably left more in his will than all the other guests put together?

John MCarthy was a freemason might have had something to do with it ?

I don’t understand why this is in any way suspicious? Locally dignitaries and prominent citizens gather at a celebration of the career of a local retiring police officer. Of course some didn’t attend the gathering but what can be read into that? I personally can’t see anything suspicious in any of this.

Two McCarthies at your leaving do? One would have been suspicious enough.

Hi Simon
Thank you
Surprisingly high number of local business owners and politicians for a Scotland Yard detective ? And as you pointed out , certain superior officers weren't in attendance
Interesting

Stride had money from working
Eddowes had never been known to prostitute herself
Chapman had access to money aplenty it seems as she had recently been treated at St Barts and bought medicine and pills some 70 years before the NHS

Where did they keep their cash then? Or did their killer rob them of it before he left the scene?

Would it make a difference if we knew they were completely penniless when they encountered their killer? And if they were indeed penniless, might this not explain why they were still out and about at that time of night?

"I often heard the women talking to each other giggling like teenagers about the drunk blokes they fancied, who were usually also drunk bloated and sweaty but obviously had a way about them?

This has always been what I pin my hopes on with women.

Although Stride and Kelly were prostitutes I have always thought that they all liked to get sozzled and had drinks brought for them. Could they have been naive and drunk? Times must have been very hard back then, perhaps they were on the look out for a boyfriend....

I worked in a park once where many people addicted to alcohol sat around all day. I often heard the women talking to each other giggling like teenagers about the drunk blokes they fancied, who were usually also drunk bloated and sweaty but obviously had a way about them? The women were old, I saw them as more destitute than prostitute.

Hi Packers,

You must be referring to the good buddy local landlord who attended Abberline's 1892 retirement party at the Three Nuns Hotel.

I am indeed Simon
Interesting gathering, showing unexpected allegiances

Having a few dollars in your pocket at any given time does not make you financially secure. Trust me on this.

Going out on a particular night with no intention to solicit tells us nothing of what their response might be if approached and offered more than the going rate.

That's quite some statement which suggests that's true of everybody

Hi Packers,

St. Bart's was a voluntary hospital. I never quite understood why she went there when she could have gone to the [also voluntary] London Hospital in Whitechapel. But she did have to pay for her medicine bottles.

But that's by the by.

Annie Chapman could afford eightpence a night for a double bed. If she was on the game, business must have been booming.

Incidentally, Abberline told more or less the same "keep my bed, I'll be back" story about Nichols and Chapman.

I have my doubts about FGA.

Simon

Thank you Simon
I have a few doubts also and about his good buddy local landlord
