Hi all
Just to keep the pot simmering. And I still don't think it was Mister Maybrick. The following is copied from another site.

If you're a soccer fan, it's like all the sides Jurgen Klinsmann is going to coach and never does. I wonder if he is paid a retainer just to have his name mentioned whenever there's a coaching vacancy for a top soccer club.

I reckon he just 'dives' in there.
Jack the Ripper
Proof of the Joseph Sickert claim regarding Jack the Ripper, the identity of Mary Jane Kelly, the complicity of Sir Charles Warren and Inspector Abberline in the Whitechapel murders, and much more, are outlined in a new book on eBooks-UK by Peter Londragan.

Yes he was, apparently, although the case against him seems less strong than it was some years ago. Tumblety himself seems to have had a hand in publicizing the fact that he was a suspect in the Ripper case. It enabled him, as an Irish nationalist ,to lampoon Scotland Yard and also disguise that the charges they had him up on was for what was then termed "unnatural practices" with several other men. He also used publicity when he was arrested at the time of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in 1865 to put out a pamplet proclaiming his innocence and pushing his quakery, so in 1889 he similarly put out a pamphlet saying he was innocent to promote his business.

The Florence Maybrick Trial
Drama Students from Liverpool John Moores University will be recreating the trial of Florence Maybrick (for the murder of her husband James).
After an hour of listening to the evidence and a short interval (when refresments will be on sale) the audience will be asked to decide the verdict.
Tickets, priced £2, are available from the Williamson Tunnels Heritage Centre or from the Joe H Makin Drama Centre, Pilgrim Street.
When is this? 15th April?
I think it is the 15th of April. I can't find anything else online about it but apparently the audience get to vote on finding Florence guility or innocent!
Not bad for £2.
She was well stitched up. Tried for her morals more than anything. He used arsenic regularly. It was used for treating VD at the time but I am not sure if that was the reason?
I agree with you there in that time married women having an affair were treated with ****ation
Hi all
When you hear "Jack the Ripper" and "Liverpool" all in one sentence, it is usually in regard to James Maybrick and the controversial "Diary" that came to light in 1992 and was first discussed in Shirley Harrison's The Diary of Jack the Ripper in 1993, published by Smith Gryphon and in later books by Ms. Harrison as well.
However, it could be that two of the Ripper's victims had Liverpool connections as well.
The last canonical victim, Mary Jane Kelly, killed on the morning of 9 November 1888, might have been in a Catholic Girls Reformatory in Old Swan in 1881, as discussed in a recent thread.
However, the origins of Mary Jane Kelly, such a common name, are as shrouded in mystery as the truth about the Ripper himself, as we discussed in Ripperologist last month. In the article "Mary Jane Kelly: From May Place, Liverpool, to Miller's Court?" on the 1881 census listing showing a Mary Jane Kelly at that institution on Broad Green Lane that we finalized with help from a number of forum members, we discussed the problems of research on the woman killed in Miller's Court, Spitalfields, London. If anybody would like a copy of that article, please email me and I will send you the pdf.
Another possible victim of Jack the Ripper was Carrie Brown, murdered in New York City on the night of April 23-24, 1891. Carrie Brown, known as "Old Shakespeare" was said to have been born in Liverpool.
Best regards

Most, if not all, of the "Jack the Ripper letters" are thought to have been concocted by trouble-making members of the public or, perhaps initially, by newsmen desiring to hype up the murders. Here's an instance of a Merseyside boy who jumped on the bandwagon.

Have you read the Tom Slemen/Keith Andrews book 'solving' the Ripper case yet Chris?
