  • Ripperologist 96: October 2008

    The 120th anniversary of the Autumn of Terror continues at Ripperologist as we focus on the events of October 1888.

    In his editorial Murder? So What?, Adam Wood looks at murder and mayhem and the public's response and suggests we're becoming desensitised to violence.

    If an article was deserving of hijacking our anniversary theme, it's the one published here from Andrew Spallek, who has located not one, not two, but seven previously unpublished photographs of a well-known suspect in Young Montie: Montague John Druitt at Winchester.

    Returning to the anniversary theme, we look at the murders of Liz Stride and Catherine Eddowes and the aftermath.

    The returning Neal Shelden introduces us to Kate's Folks in the form of an interview with mordern-day Eddowes descendants, and Daniel Olsson looks at Elisabeth Stride in the Yiddish Connection, before we discuss the scene of Liz's murder in an in-depth, illustrated look at Berner Street, and conduct a equally critical evaluation of the various facts and theories surrounding the Double Event in Hit Or Myth. We take an in-depth look at one of the possible myths regarding Liz Stride, that she perhaps generated herself - that of the Princess Alice Disaster.

    We continue the republished series by Karyo Magellan, who conducts a detailed examination of the neck wounds sustained by the victims in Cutthroat, accompanied by a corresponding illustrated look at the mutilations suffered by each victim - this month focussing on Liz Stride and Catherine Eddowes.

    In the third part of our Suspect series, Stan Russo takes a look at John William Smith Sanders, and asks if he was Suspect or Scapegoat.

    Taking a break from her regular Whitechapel Times, Jennifer Pegg supplies us with the most detailed report on possible witness Robert Lees, and Don Souden ponders the old riddle of why the Ripper committed no murders between the Double Event and Mary Kelly, in Why No October Surprise?

    But that's not all - this being the third of a quartet of special issues, themed around the 120 anniversary of these terrible crimes, Part 4, covering November 1888, is on its way.

      Bodlam,

      This can happen, especially with new subscriprions. Please get it touch with our subscription department at contact@ripperologist.biz.

      In the meanrime, check your spam files. First time around some systems must be prompted "this is not spam."

      Don.

          Hi Bodlam,

          Apologies for the delay in responding.

          Could I ask you to email me directly at adamwood55@yahoo.co.uk to confirm details of your payment, specifically if you sent it to ripperologist.biz or ripperologist.info.

            On the last page, the Mitre Sq image is Dy-no-mite.

            Good one, Jake.
