    "... Anderson is clear and Sawanson underlines, while he was still abroad, and therefore shortly after the Double event."

    But Swanson's report in the police files shows the house to house search referred to did not included properties south of Commercial Road, e.g Batty and Providence Streets.

    Also after those searches both Warren, "... these have no tangible result..." and Anderson, " ... without our having the slightest clue of any kind..." claimed no information was found that was of any use.
    Hi Dr

    I'm trying to combine what Anderson said with Rob House Batty Street theory.

    Anderson says he was away when the House to House turn up 'blood stains'

    On Page 129 Prime Suspect: " It is important to note the the article was based primarily on information gathered from Neighbours, not the landlady herself. The landlady was described as very reticent in speaking to reporters and did not say much . apart from corroborating the fact that 'a detective and two police officers had been in the house ever since her information was given."

    Given the proximity of 22 Batty St to Dutfeild Yard its reasonable that police soon picked up on what was being said on the street in the area. And clearly Detectives were talking directly to Mrs Keur.

    Swanson might not have had a clue of any kind. But it might be argued 'He would say that wouldn't he' The police were having lots of trouble with press men interfering and compromising the police leads… Schwartz Mrs Mortimer and Paker were never called at the inquest.. Swanson also said some 80 suspects were being looked into, including Medical Students, lunatics and Wild Indians…. This was the early stages of an investigation.

    Yours Jeff

      Cox was a CID officer. That makes him city police.
      Cox did a post-MJK investigation watching someone who has not been identified.

      The speculation goes like this...

      The City Police and the Met both watched the same man at different times and didn't collaborate together on it.

      Did the city police go into met grounds and the met police go into city ground, without telling each other. Likely they did, but told each other well in advance. If they did, then they collaborated. If not, then we would have a clash of forces over the matter, no?
      Bona fide canonical and then some.

        Well we know the City and MET did do meetings. However its quite possible that they came across the same man at different times for different reasons.

        I'm simply saying that the MET came across Kozminski on the 14th Oct following the 'Blood Stained Shirt' incident.

        Also there's the possibility that a City Policeman witnessed a man leaving Mitre Sq and thus they had there own means of enquiry.

        My understanding is that they worked together..

        I do however believe that Sir Robert Anderson had a be in his bonnet about police powers… It was this that drove him to speak out, when everyone else kept quiet. Andersons sense of duty rather than the charge usually laid at his door of boastfulness or Fairy Tales… And this opinion was supported by Swanson: SUCH WAS EVERY CASE OF MURDER WHERE THE MURDERER wAS NOT CHARGED BECAUSE EVIDENCE WAS NOT OBTAINABLE.


        I attach a photo not previously released from the Definitive Story of Swanson's own words..

          The post humorous journalist story about White's alleged encounter I think needs to be taken with a large grain of salt. There is too much wrong about the story to conclude a city PC witnessed anything. However Swanson does allude to a city PC witness... but then he would have to be Jewish PC because he refused to testify against a fellow Jew. I have yet to see someone make sense of that without dropping the PC or Jewish part. Coexistence seems a problem.

          The translation of the margin looks pretty much the sort of thing one would expect Swanson to say. He stayed neutral on the issue of suspects I think and for good reason. He was man about the evidence even if he did as much ground work as Abberline.

          The thing is, could the MET have really put away JtR without the City police knowing about it, if said suspect was under their surveillance?

            It makes perfect sense if there was a City PC witness connected to the case up to March 1889. And the Jewish witness ID takes place in June 1890.

            If he was on their surveylence up to March 1889 when the suspect was placed in a Private Asylum in Surrey, it surely makes perfect sense?

              Hi Batman,

              Where does Swanson say anything about a City PC witness?

              Best wishes

                  Ah!! but so does Griffiths in 1895

                  "But the police after, the last murder, had bought their investigations to the point of strongly suspecting several persons, all of them known to be homicidal lunatics, and against three of these they held very pausible and reasonable grounds of suspicion. Concerning two of them, the case was weak, although it was based on certain colourable facts. One was a Polish Jew, a known lunatic, who was at large in the district of whitechapel at the time of the murder, and who having afterwards developed homocidal tendencies, was confined in an asylum. This man was said to resemble the murder by the one person who got a glimpse of him- the police constable in Mitre Court."

                  This is clearly what is said in the Abberconway version of MacNaughtens Memoranda and suggests that MacNaughten NOT Anderson was the source for this..

                  Griffiths doesn't know anything about a Seaside Home ID by a fellow Jew…not a jot because MacNaughten only saw the file dated up to March 1889.

                  Once you understand that everything slips neatly into place, MacNaughten claiming Druitt and Abberiline who moves in March 1889 claiming Chapman

                  Indeed Anderson is still saying the same up until November 1889 so the ID took place after this…I suggest June 1890 when there is disagreement between him and Monroe.

                    the old argument again and its quite a simple one if Kosminski was such a good suspect why did sir Melville choose Druitt over him.

                      Hi pinkmoon

                      The simple answer to that is based on the information in front of him..and given the private info he was probably correct to do so. The file he had only contained information up to March 1889.

                      So nothing but circumstantial evidence existed on Kozminski. Even as late as November 1889 Anderson was saying the exact same thing…

                      The ID happens in June 1890. And that is kept quiet by Anderson and Monroe and the file not updated…

                      Kozminski went in and out of the Asylum on several occasion (A private Asylum in Surrey) before Feb 1891

                      So MacNaughten didn't know about the ID, thus he plums for Druitt

                        Surely if Kosminski was successfully identified by a witness then it would have to be accepted across the police forces that they had their man plain and simple.

                          which means he would have had an accent.
                          None of the witnesses describe a man who had an accent.

                          Which means Kosminiski probably wasn't the ripper.

                            Hi Jeff
                            If the search revealed Kosminski, his name and a bloody clue in Oct 1988 and the ID took place in June 1890, again I ask-Why did it take so long-over a year!!! to set up an ID?

                              But how do you know the men seen by the various witnesses were in fact the killer ? As I keep saying the witness testimony was never tested.

                                Ah..but the story told by Swanson is quiet clear…the ID went wrong, the witness refused to testify..

                                The suspect had originally been placed out of harms way in a private asylum but by there nature they only allowed for short term stays. Koz was back out and the family were having trouble. They also feared a backlash against their community if it was revealed the suspect was a Jew.

                                Hence Monroes Political Hot potato.

                                The aim at best was to get the Supect in Broadmoor and a police tick.

                                However the fallout might have created riots so a deal was struck. Keep it quiet.. Put the suspect where he can't get out. We know Anderson was in contact with the head of Colney hatch..

                                Monroe wanted it kept quiet… Anderson had a bee in his bonnet about police procedures, which he felt inadequate..Hence how his story develops from 1892..
