Thank you for posting this Mr Twibbs. I've read the Trial of Israel Lipski and was always taken by the apparent connections to the double murder by JTR on Sept 30. It's also interesting that Miriam Angels body was similar to the body posing by JTR. Coincidence? I dont believe so. It makes me wonder who Miriam Angels neighbor Mrs Levy was, and if she was related to Jacob Levy and Joseph Hyam Levy. Mrs Levy was out shopping that morning on Middlesex Street ( Petticoat Lane). If JTR had strong feelings about Israel Lipskis innocence ( back then there appeared to be many who felt Lipski was innocent and the confession coerced?) Then the target of Stride so close to Batty Street and the Goulston Street grafitto might make more sense. Ironic that Jacob Levy faced the same Gentile justice system with the same lousy barrister involved. Blamed for nothing or blamed for murder?
Was Strides killer making a statement by calling out Lipski?
I believe there is an avenue for more exploration here. -

This is assuming that B.S. man was in fact her killer. But "Lipski" seems much more spur of the moment than premeditated.

Hi c.d...I was considering shouting out Lipski as possibly meaning the perpetrator, as a Jew, telling a fellow Jew that this is " for Lipski". And this in turn would possibly make the Goulston Street grafitto make more sense. The Jews will be blamed for something...instead of nothing.
in this case the Ripper murders. Is this a stretch?
Many Jews believed Lipski was innocent. Partly because of their belief that the Justice System was run by Gentiles and stacked against them. I would argue motive against Authority here as the meaning behind the grafitto. Anger is a motive. I dont believe the Ripper was just any killer targeting Prostitutes for syphilis infection. There had to be more calculation in my mind.Comment
