The letter of D’Onston at Pall-Mall Gazzette of 1 December 1888 it’s so strange?
Someone thinks that this letter proved that D’Onston was involved in Jack the Ripper’s works, but we can place the problem in a different way. D’Onston was involved in Black Magic, so he think as a expert of Black Magic, then it’s not usual that he was searching Black Magic’s traces in the JTR works. I think the background of all men influences easily their ideas. This post doesn’t have intention to deny or criticize the Edwards’ theory. I only try to see the problem under a different light

Donston Stephenson would have a decided advantage over others in Britain with regard to recognizing and understanding a phenomenon like the Ripper crimes, even if he wasn't the killer. He was an Occultist accustomed to the unexplained. Recognition was ready and immediate, subsequent of course to the killer's correspondence, and his understanding of serial murder was ahead of its time. You only have to look at the Satanic involvement of the suspected Monster(s) of Florence, the Son(s) of Sam, and The Night Stalker to know he could have been right.

I know this things, so I tell that D'Onston's guilt can't be try, I think, with that evidence

Evidence leading to a conviction is one thing; strong suspicion or accord, one way or another, is something else. In the case of D'Onston, my agreement is simply with viability. As a viable candidate, one could even compare him to the Mostro suspects.
Satanism, if only for its communal and social aspects, is an obvious possibility in the Florence case even without direct evidence. Look at the mutilation murders in Busto Arsizio. Berkowitz (half Italian or not) was the same thing, although Americans doubt his story of being in a Satanic cult and only killing 3 of the 6 dead.
I'll say this for the Questura of Florence: Maybe they didn't get a conviction to stick but at least they tried to get all those involved.
