Hi Chris,
Ah, yes, "Jack the Slasher." His crimes didn't really seem to have much in common with Carrie Brown's death or the Ripper murders, but you never can tell. I look forward to seeing the full text of the article.

Actually, in this case, you can tell. The allegations against Dowd lasted only about 24 hours; the next day these stories fizzled when it was discovered that Dowd had been under lock and key at the time of the Brown murder. |
