Can You Name this book/Author?

Hi,
The one problem with the book is that where he measured and pin pointed where Kelly was murdered, he was using the older and incorrect location of the multi story car park ramp.

Regards.

Herlock.

Yet you believe in bizarre coincidences. Or ignore them? This is proof that the ripper was no random killer.

Also, consider this...

Sam Flynn. All we need to do is get a map and measure it. Nobody here has a map of the ripper killings and a ruler?

[Herlock Sholmes]

The very fact that those figures are so round practically demonstrates that they're nonsense, as is the idea of the Ripper thinking, "Right-oh! I'm precisely 930 yards away from 29 Hanbury Street, so I'll kill someone on this spot", and so on.

I’d have been impressed if he’d used feet and inches Gareth

[Sam Flynn]

Well, we don't know how sloppy or accurate he was. But here's the results of his measurements.

The distance from site 1 to site 2 was 930 yards
The distance from site 2 to site 4 was 930 yards
The distance from site 3 to site 4 was 950 yards
The distance from site 3 to site 5 was 950 yards

If true then this proves that the attacks were not just by some random maniac. if anyone has a map of the murder area and can disprove Ivor Edward's findings that would be good.

Yeah but Stephenson writing to the papers was giving them a black magic explanation for the murders and claimed to have been an expert in the occult.

He really was one unwell person who could not get the most basic facts of the case,let alone his own life.


"It will be remembered that a chalk inscription (which it is not denied was written by the murderer} was found on the wall in Mitre-square, just above the body of the murdered woman. It ran as follows; 'The Juwes are the men who will not be blamed for nothing', and was evidently intended to throw suspicion on the Jews. This writing was seen by the police by means of artificial light, and was unfortunately obliterated by them before daylight. Hinc illae lachrymae! "

The real irony was that his treating medical officer was Jack the Ripper.

Both families came from Scarborough where Jack's father and uncle were master mariners.

These are the measurements found using a map. Ivor Edwards also confirmed the distance with a surveyor's wheel.
Also "Compass bearings were taken in the field it was found that sites 1,2,3,4 were located due east, south, north and west."

If true then this proves that the attacks were not just by some random maniac. if anyone has a map of the murder area and can disprove Ivor Edward's findings that would be good.

If Ivor Edwards showed that the murder sites showed the shape of a witches hat I wouldn’t believe the ‘theory.’ It’s utter nonsense. The idea that the ripper went around measuring and then manoeuvring these women into place to conform to some ritual is drivel. I keep his book next to Pamela Ball’s Psychic Investigation B******s!

Not really,that was Crowley's take on things.

D'Onston was being treated, for what we would now call Chronic Fatigue Syndrome during the murders, by the same medical expert who examined Eddowes' kidney.

Both diseases caused by strep infections.

What about books on D'onston Stephenson? Wasn't he into this idea that JtR was using a black magic ritual?

[Sam Flynn]

Thanks a lot guys. I've tracked down a copy too. Do you reckon he was inaccurate in his measuring of the murder map?

Almost certainly. Now, as I said, I've not read the book, but any theorist who comes out with stuff like this are sloppy enough in their thinking, never mind their measurements.

[Herlock Sholmes]

I just think he was innaccurate in his belief that the murders were remotely anything to do with Black Magic.

[albie]

Thanks a lot guys. I've tracked down a copy too. Do you reckon he was inaccurate in his measuring of the murder map? (that's what I call it)

[Wickerman]

Yes, I have Edwards book, it sounds like the one he wrote.
His misrepresentation of some facts in the book is what caused us to part ways.

[Magpie]

Yeah Ivor was my first thought too.
