Dear people,
Finnaly entered the fifth year But, we need to make an assignment and we have chosen to do this around the topic of Jack The Ripper 
So I just wanted you to ask, is Jamer Maybrick realy Jack The Ripper? I'm now reading the diary of... but there are things that make me doubt...
So are their other suspects that are investigated? |

James Maybrick is really Jimmy the Clipper, famous flying barber of the East End

Suspects?
Try:
(Those the police at the time fancied such as)
Aaron Kosminski (favoured by Anderson and Swanson and mentioned by Macnaghten,)
Michael Ostrog (unlikely, but mentioned by Macnaghten)
M J Druitt (Macnaghtens favoured candidate)
Neil Cream (Abberline is said to have mentioned him)
Others
HRH Prince Albert Victor (later Duke of Clarence) - Dr Stowell first advanced his name
J K Stephen - often linked to Clarence
Walter Sickert (unlikely but Patricia Cornwell fancies him)
Sir William Gull (see films Murder by Decree/From Hell or read Stephen Knight)
Dr Barnardo!!!
"Dr Stanley" (Leonard Matter's suspect)
Pedachenko (Donald McCormick)
Thomas Cutbush (consult AP Wolf)
D'Onston Stephenson
Joe Barnett
"Jill the Ripper"
A shochet (Odell)
"Uncle Jack" - recent book)
W H Bury
George Chapman
Francis Tumblety
various other doctors and vetinary students
Lewis Caroll (Charles Dodgson)
And that's just off the top of my head!! There's many more that have been proposed. Read the site and its resources and you'll find you have a LOT of reading and catching up to do for your project, I think.
Good luck,

Surely Anderson mentioned only a 'Poor Polish Jew', and not Kosminski by name?
Ostrog? - he was locked up in Paris at the time of the murders.
I thought Abberline mentioned George Chapman, not Cream?
Just a few thoughts off the top of my head. |

AIP - surely Swanson's marginalia confirm that the un-named Jew referred to by Anderson was Kosminski? And this ties in with Macnaghten.
You may be right about Abberline - as I say it was done off the top of my head. (Whomever Abberline mentioned, I don't think ot matters.)
And Ostrog WAS a suspect, even if we NOW know he could not have done it.

Anderson never named his suspect. The 'Swanson marginalia' are unverified annotations of some 20 years plus later.
Ostrog "unlikely", no not unlikely - he wasn't the Ripper.

"Unverified"? You're grasping at straws, AIP. The Swanson Marginalia have been authenticated beyond a shadow of a doubt, as dear old Sir Robert put it. Kosminski was the suspect. Whether Mr. Swanson had the name right or mixed it up with another, similar-sounding name is another matter entirely, and not altogether implausible, at least in my humble opinion.  |
