In a Canadian news paper, The Manitoba Morning free Press of 8 March 1894, I found the statement below. Does anyone know who this unnamed police inspector was please? Any info gratefully received!

Hi Chris, that is originally from the Police Chronicle, 17 February 1894, and probably refers to Inspector William Race's interviews to journalists (notably in the Sun, 13.02.94), which prompted the Macnaghten Memorandum. The "Dartmoor Prison Asylum" didn't exist, but the press probably garbled the correct name, Broodmoor Criminal Asylum. This is because Inspector Race was involved with the Cutbush case. See also the Reynolds News, 08.02.94 and the Morning Leader, same date. [Discussed in Ripperana no. 31, January 2000, p. 9-11] |

Few men posting these boards have such a bow in their kite as Mr. Nelson, I think. How long did it take him to affirmatively identify such an obscure article, three hours?
