In case this is a repititious post,please remove it..thanks...
Okay..Here we go..
More than a handful of people involved or assumed to be involved in the Whitechapel Murders had or are alleged to have had the dreaded disease syphilis.
Here is a brief list...too lazy to check further at the moment...
Thomas Cutbush
Frederick Deeming
Nathan Kaminsky
William Bury
Michael Kidney
Jacob Levy
James Kelly
allegedly---Prince Albert Victor
possibly---David Cohen
allegedly--Robert Stephenson....
Please assist in the following,por favor...
1. In Richard W-Egan's book, is there a source for the declaration that Robert "D'onston" Stephenson had a venereal disease ?
2. If not...is there any other source known for making this pronouncement?
3. If neither can be answered in the affirmative...then could someone offer their opinion as to why this idea has become assumed to be true?
One "theory" I am considering hinges on the claims of venereal disease that RDS is said to have obtained.
Please add any information you have and especially if anyone knows if RDS definitely was infected with this disease [ either gonorrhea or syphilis ]....and where this information emanated.
Thanks folks...Big kiss to the girls only....
