I've started reading Lynn's article first and am enjoying the read. I'll have a few posts, so I'll start with this. How interesting that this Jewish community, or at least the editors at the Arbeter Fraint, believed the very first Ripper murder was Martha Tabram. Back to reading.

Sincerely,
Mike

[mklhawley]

"...regular police and secret police arrived en masse." This certainly confirms Spiro's book about special branch being involved. Back to reading.

perception

Hello Mike. Thanks.

To be fair, perhaps it was their perception only that there were secret police?

Cheers.

Hi Lynn,

True. I'm curious if a group of Socialists would have had any run ins with special branch?

[Simon Wood]

Hi All,

If they were secret police, then they obviously weren't very secret.

Perhaps it was a term used to describe plain-clothes detectives.

Simon

Hi Simon,

That's very true, especially when they said en masse.

Sincerely,
Mike

I would say that the term secret police obviously refers to detectives.

Hello Rob. Thanks. That would be my guess too.

Fido

Hello All. The Fido piece is a must read. Very well done.

Can't wait to see how it all sifts out.

Cheers.

Very true, it's a very interesting article, which whets the appetite.

I wanted to congratulate you too Lynn, not only very interesting but also put together in a commanding way - I think the field benefits when research articles are presented like yours.

Also a word on Chris Scott's article. I really enjoy articles exploring the lives of the periphery characters (likewise the recent article on Cadosch).
