I am posting below part of an article from a New Zealand paper, the Te Aroha Times from 17 November 1888. This gives an outline of various theories ofthe kind of person the killer might be. The whole article will be in the Press Reports section when I have transcribed it

Hi, Chris
Actually I find typing relaxing and transcription is a good way to educate myself about the case and era. So don't hesitate

Same goes for me, Chris - as long as it's not translation from Mexican!
I wonder whether the police cordon has anything to do with what Moore told Harding Davis.

Hello Chris,
What a well composed summary of the goings-on in Whitechapel. Thanks for posting it.
I enjoy reading pieces like this which break out of the usual formula-styled cliches and pedestrian
descriptions. And do so concisely.
One of the precious gifts you provide us with, is
the wide-spread, and probably, otherwise overlooked observations of some marvellous jobbing
hacks who should have gone on to greatness as writers, but didn't.
You're almost the binding to the Casebook!

Maybe old Kosminski had access to sewers and lived there like a ninja turtle.
Those new zealanders are smart, smart people. Can't get past those smarts. |
