Steve - The book "Jack the Ripper: Anatomy of a Myth" by Bill Beadle (ISBN 0952-448-904) is a well-written look at the case which proposes Bury as a suspect. I don't believe it is available on Amazon.com, though you might find it on Amazon.co.uk. If not there, it is available from Rupert Books in England. Christopher-Michael

thanks.christopher.i can recommend the hangmans record to anyone who is interested in grisly murders in victorian times from 1868. from cutting throats from ear to ear to drowning of babies.its all in there. get it from your local library.
