By, Jove, isn't there a number of people who believe JTR to be left handed? I think you may be onto something here...Originally posted by Cogidubnus View Post

I'll take the Mary Kelly as JtR and say that fearing capture, she murdered a poor soul that she befriended in her own room, then escaped to America. Thus she could have been in on the Lindbergh kidnapping...And the questions always linger, no real answer in sightComment

Florence
The worst Ripper suspect is obviously Florence Maybrick. She committed all the murders dressed in her husband's clothes. She then left her own initials on a partition wall and bribed a police photographer to make sure that they were visible in a photograph. After that she used her unparalleled knowledge of the crimes to fake an admission by her husband and etched the initials of her victims into 'his' gold watch.
Her piece de resistance was the decision to kill him before he had a chance to say, "Hang on a minute. That's not my handwriting and I've never owned a gold watch in my life". She therefore does time for one murder only and makes it look as though even that was a miscarriage of justice whereas he, one of her many victims, a man who wouldn't hurt a fly, goes down in history as the most notorious serial killer who ever lived.I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.Comment

If there is such a thing, it would be James Maybrick.
Because he is only a 'suspect' because of a single artefact (ok, two, but ...) whose provenance is dodgy. Worse, it is argubaly a demonstrable fake, based on textual analysis alone.
A counter argument could be made that the Dr Stanely hoax only had Matters, and the Rasputin-Okhrana hoax only had Le Queux.
Yet there is something uniquely vile about the Maybrick 'Diary' perhaps because those hustlers -- whomever they were -- used a real person, whereas the others were playing hamrless games with pure fiction.
I mean how despicable, really, to accuse a man who was long deceased and had nothing to do with the Whitechapel crimes, just seems beyond the pale ...Comment

Anyone for Gilbert and Sullivan? I mean, what down on her luck prostitute would be suspicious of the comic opera Masters of England? Especially if they stalked her while singing "Three Little Maids".The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.Comment

Tell you what, Jonathan. You find the bugger wot dun the diary and I'll happily punch his/her lights out for you. I realise just how much this vile inanimate object is eating away at your very soul.

To Poor Caz
You don't know when you;r being had, do you?
I find the LeQueux-Rasputin hoax fascinating.
Whereas I never think about the the 'Diary'
Like most people here I find that hoax from the early 1990's to be old hat, and its advocates even more tiresome because they refuse to meet any criticism of the Maybrick con as a modern hoax which conned them -- and still does -- with anything but spluttering bile.
Exactly whose 'soul is being eaten away ...'?
