By the way The Baron appears to think that Anderson is to be trusted but Macnaghten is not based purely on the ‘’40 year old Doctor’’ bit. Ignoring the fact that many of Mac’s former colleagues went on record to comment on his formidable memory. On that one snippet Mac is apparently utterly disreputable. Must have been a conspiracy.
The Baron also, on the one hand, believes that considering Druitt as at least a person of interest is far fetched and unbelievable whilst, on the other hand, he thinks that Randy Williams delusional fantasy is a creditable theory.
Remember?
Ditto.

Even the basics we can't agree on.

I don't agree with it.... But, the issue of McNaghten's inconsistencies are addressed in a book by a man called Hainsworth (Jack the Ripper - Case Solved 1891). I think it's four or five years old. Anyway, the author theorizes that McNaughten purposely confused Druitt's particulars so as not to embarrass his (Druitt's) family which included a personal friend of McNaughten's, who worked for the Home Office, if I'm remember
In other words, he was a liar.
Even the basics we can't agree on.
Thank you

All the best!

Because he didn't know about it, and that is exactly why he favoured Druitt as a suspect.

But Macngahten was Swansons superior in the chain of command, and he mentions nothing about any sea side home identification.

May I kindly remind you, that you have been pointed before that this is not true about Anderson in 1910.

Thank you Simon, put that is not playing cards, this is the history that arrived to us throw those men, you can ignore them, but that will not change what has been written.
There was a suspect, a strong suspect, three head police-officers of the time mentioned him, and this is a fact.
And this suspect was identified by two men: a fellow-jew witness and to a less degree a City PC.
I think that Anderson was right afterall, and the Jack the Ripper murders were not one of those rare unsolved murders in London.
This is history, whether you like it or not, the same as the fact that there was a murderer whose nickname is Jack the Ripper.
Reading books is a good thing, I like reading about all the suspects in the case, but ignoring history for a personal attitude is not.

Those are the facts that anti-Andersons turning away from, and being so hard on the man. even to a degree to make him a big liar and ignoring completely that Swanson corroborated him.
and why is that so?! only because of a personal attitude from the case, or for another favourite suspect.
If those are not to be believed, I wonder who then can you put trust in.
But anway...
As to Anderson in many quotes he made between 1888-1910 he states the police did not have any clues as to the identity of the killer. Then in 1910 when he publishes his book he mentions the ID, do you not think that is a bit strange. I have looked at photos of him in later years and his nose does seem to have grown larger

If you sincerely want to put your belief in Sir Robert Anderson having told the truth about the Whitechapel murderer, and for your trump card want to play Swanson corroborating him with a BS story about a Seaside Home, then I can only once again commend to you a copy of — Deconstructing Jack: The Secret History of the Whitechapel Murders. You'll end up being much the wiser.
