Several weeks ago in the JtR Chatroom (subject Tar Jack), one of the co-editors of Ripper Notes said that the mortuary photographs of Carrie Brown aka "Old Shakespeare" may be included in an upcoming edition. Were the wounds "Almost Identical with the Terrible Work of the Mysterious London Fiend"? Any updates from the staff of RN?
Take care,
Kevin |

Hi, Kevin:
As new North American editor for Ripperologist I can tell you that plans are in hand for us to publish these photographs in the May issue along with an accompanying article from Michael Conlon.
All the best

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the response. What a surprise! Congratulations on the new position, North American editor of Ripperologist. I look foward to seeing the photographs and reading Mr. Colon's article.
Take care,
Kevin
P.S. Can you give us a hint. Do the wounds look similar? |

Hi, Kevin:
Glad my post helped illuminate you. Mike does see a similarity been the wounds to Carrie Brown and those to Annie Chapman, but I will leave it to him to elucidate further.
Best regards

Chris: I look forward to the article if I can find the magazine or is there a way to subscribe?
Could it be that our "boy" was far more active than might be presumed before? I don't remember hearing of Carrie Brown. Kindest Regards, Neil |

Chris,
Long time, no see.It's good to be back. You're working for Ripperologist now? Does that mean you're no longer with RN? Man, I've missed a lot!
This is pretty exciting about Carrie Brown. I've been following Mr. Conlon's work and find it quite fascinating. Unfortunately, I recently let my subscriptions to both Rip and RN lapse, but will renew as soon as the available funds are there.
Yours truly,
Tom Wescott |

Tom, Kevin and CG -
The new (April) issue of Ripper Notes will feature part 1 of a two-part article on the Carrie Brown murder by Wolf Vanderlinden. I have not yet seen Mr Vanderlinden's article, but expect it to be top-notch. I know he also has a number of illustrations that will be included with the article.
Kevin, subscription details for RN can be found in the 'Ripper Media' section as well.
CG - has the Rip changed its publication schedule? I thought it was February, April, June and so on. Has the February issue now become a March issue?
Tom - so glad to hear from you again, my friend! Don't worry - as editor, I make an executive decision and will be sending Rn your way.

Hi, CM:
You ask a very good question. I have just okayed large sections of the issue for Paul and I thought it was for the March issue of Ripperologist but perhaps it is the February issue running late, or the April which they want to get out this month ahead of the issue date.
Yours in utter confusion

CM,
Good to see you again, too! Normally I couldn't accept such generosity, as your offering to send me the latest RN although my sub is up. I'm not one for handouts. But a new piece by Wolf Vanderlinden? How can I say no (especially with that big minus sign in front of my checking account balance!). I appreciate the generosity, and look forward to returning the favor somehow in the future, so I don't feel like the freeloader I am.  |

CMD,
I will renew my subscription to RN. Wolf Vanderlinden is indeed a top-notch writer. His article "Screams of Murder" (July 2001, RN) is, IMHO one of the best. I look foward to reading his two part article on the Carrie Brown murder.
Take care,
Kevin |

the East River Hotel where the murder occurred was on the corner of Catherine Slip and Water Street. the photo below is of Water Street and was actually taken in 1891, the year of the murder.

A nice photograph of the East River Hotel, at the corner of Catherine Slip and Water Street in New York City, where the murder of Carrie Brown took place April 23, 1891. Well done, Chris! Looks as if there was a flooding situation going on with the water coming up over the wharf. . .  |

Is this actually the East River Hotel because it doesn't appear to be. Although Water Street is much shortened today, it's only about a block long,it was once fairly long running from Dover Street north east to Jackson Street. So is this the corner of Water and Catherine Slip or just a view looking down Water?

It doesn't sound like he went to town on her like he did to Mary Kelly though. But it does sound intriguing all the same. I've always been inclined to believe that our man killed many more than he's been credited with. I've always been fascinated by the ripper which is morbid. |

Does anyone know any possibly pertinent information about a Charles L. Knick (1866-1945) married to a Cornelia Alberta Greene? He would have been a young man of 25 at the time of the murder in 1891. |

I think the photographs of the body should be studied very carefully to see this was a different type of butchery than the London victims: the body was not strangled as there is no sign of visible lividity around the throat; it was not "ripped" open from the belly to the breasts as was Catherine Eddowes; there is obvious disembowelment but with no sign of any organ removal; there is slight cutting around the profile of the belly extending down the center of the left thigh; finally, the cutting of the anus through the buttcrack around to the cuntcrack and up the right side of the belly exposing the portion of large intestine indicates this was the killing method done most probably while the victim was turned around bent down for anal sex butt in which the cold hard steel knife replaced the hot hard flesh kock to equate sex with shittting in the killer's mind, cum with caca and kunt with bungasshole. This is classically perverse misogynistic sadistic pornography. The X stroke on the left buttock would have been done after the killing as a scoremark or branding of the dead, naked, butchered body --- the objectisized property of the killer; an impulse strongly inspired by the cheap public usage of a wastrel prostitute of no more value than cattle beef. This is the psychoprofile of the killer based on his body victim; as to his identity, he could just have well as been a sailor as a cattle-butcher given the area of the murder. The absence of the X on the supposed London victims of "Jack the Ripper" argues strongly this was not the same killer since he probably would have made this a distinguishing feature of his killings: X the unknown victim (so he thought), X the Unknown Killer, X the unknown (at that time) reason. As can best be judged from a poorly lit photograph of a naturally blemished, blotched body there are no superfluous markings--- even the thigh line cut can be seen as representing to the sexual psychomaniac a symbolically substitute straight cuntcrack line for the one obliterated into the curving belly slash and the gaping assgash. These photographs are important as possibly being the first evidence in American history of the beginning of the sexual psychomaniac murderer phenomenon. Thanks for showing them!! |
