Has Francis Tumblety ever been considered as a candidate for this murder? He would have presumably been in the area of New York at the time.

Hi Charles,

Tumblety was at the Plateau Hotel in Hot Springs, Arkansas on the night of Friday April 17, 1891. Brown was murdered the following Thursday evening in New York. This made it a pretty tight fit. The "C. Kniclo" character was the most likely person to have committed this killing, and his physical description didn't match with Tumblety at all. The fact that Brown's killer left the murder weapon behind strikes me as being very un-Ripperish to begin with.

Joe
