Hi Monty
Glad that everything's OK. I've just had a health problem arise here, and it's a bloody worry.
Tell you what, we're both better off than poor old Joe Barnett - there's no escape on the Boards for him!

Okay...all of you think you are so smart! Don't you know the VV when pushed together makes a W as in Walter as in Sickert? Ooops! Just saw, when looking at it from the top the VV makes an M as in Montague as in Druitt. Hey wait a minute...when looking from the side it makes a E as in Eddie as in Prince Albert Eddie! Yikes! I guess we can read just about anything we want to into the evidence! Facetiously Your, Amy
P.S. Occult murders are almost exclusively ritualistic and not 5 minute slice and dice...Mary Kelly maybe, the others, nope! |

Hi Chuck
Whilst I don't consider myself a paid up Donstonite (or paid up anything else as I don't support any candidate for Jack's dubious mantle) I don't think all the invoking of geometry and occultism can ever be used to prove or disprove an answerable case against him. The problem with tracing shapes in the location of significant sites is that this (like anagrams, for example) can be used to prove or disprove almost anything.
I think there are certain other points in the case of Donstone which are far more useful from the point of view of building a reasonable picture of his as a suspect. To quote two, location and involvement. We know where Donston was at the period of the murders and, unlike many considered at one time or another to be major suspects - Sickert, Clarence, Druitt etc. - we can not only tie Donston's whereabouts at the time of the murders to the East End but very specifically to Whitechapel and very close to the site of the first "canonical" murder, Nicholls. We can also see from the surving documentation of the affair of Donston accusing Morgan Davies of being the Whitechapel killer, that Donston not only took a close interest in the case but tried to actively involve himself in the case and inject himself into the investigation.
I must repeat that this does not make me a supporter of Donston as a suspect. For what it's worth I see Donston in much the same light as I see Tumblety, a vain, eccentric self-publicist only too willing to use a high profile case to boost their own self importance.
regards

I do very much favor Donston as a suspect because
A. He was in the area at the time.
B. Medical experience
C. Bragged that he killed his own wife and another woman. That sounds like an evil/sick mind
even if it was meant to be a joke.
D. Two women who were associated with Donston belived him to be the Ripper and one was his girlfriend |
