Hi all
After being directed to the London Times of the 10th September 1888 from the recent e-bay watch thread my interest was aroused by the report at the bottom of the page of a suspicious incident at Deptford .This was the first time I had read this account and my attention was drawn to the fact that the suspicious character who excitedly asked for a newspaper bears a striking similarity to the individual who asked Emily Marsh for Lusks address.My question is .. has this been noticed before? and is there any more information on who this person was? The Times goes on to mention an arrest at Deptford ..is this the same man? are there any more details .The location of the shop where this person asked for a copy of the "evening special" could be significant it was opposite the entrance to the Foreign cattle market .By the way after reading several Jtr books over the years and the casebook I believe the killer was a as yet unnamed individual ...this is my first time posting...please be kind |

I don't think it's significant, Phil. Gentlemen dressed very similarly in that era, and there was great enthusiasm about the news, such that mere interest was sufficient to bring suspicion down on one's head. ( See the basis for the case against Sickert.)
But, keep up the attitude. It's just that sort of innovative seeking for clues that previous experts haven't noticed that can spark the beginning of a new theory. The thing is to read everything - (I'm afraid.) People are constantly coming up with new insights that have never been seen before.
Why not you? :-) |
