I thought he finished his ripper work?Quote:

And what about his Claude Reigner Conder?
Hi Max:)
Im not sure when or if Tom has finished his ripper work, your best asking him personally max as i dont speak for tom.
Claude Reigner Conder is a suspect that tom has mentioned for jack the ripper i think???
My best bet Is not saying anything.
Yes Colonel Claude Reignier Conder, a friend of Sir Charles Warren, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police during the Ripper crimes, and who worked with Warren on excavations in Palestine between 1867 and 1882, is Tom Slemen's suspect. We await his book written with Keith Andrews with interest.Quote:

It was so easy to read too, and so informative.
The 'Letters from Hell' book is fabulous too, if only for the pictures!
Do you know of any new Ripper books coming out? Apart from Tom Slemen's
List of upcoming JtR books.Quote:

Chris
many thanks for that!
that's more than enough for me to be getting on with!:celb (23):
Hello MissInformed
You probably should check out the new book by Stewart P. Evans and Donald Rumbelow, Jack the Ripper: Scotland Yard Investigates. Both of these gentlemen were serving police officers -- Don Rumbelow with the City of London Police and Stewart Evans with the Suffolk Police -- and they are universally regarded in the field. If anyone knows about the workings of the police department, then and now, it is these two experts.
Chris
:) many thanks chris
will have a little look at that
Hi MissInformed
Another new book on the horizon is Ripperology: The Best of Ripperologist is to be published in March 2007 by Magpie Books, an imprint of Constable Robinson, in the UK and by Barnes & Noble in the US. The Editors of the Rip drew up a shortlist of the best articles to have appeared in our previous 72 issues, with the publishers selecting the final entrants. The 27 essays include "The Carrie Brown Murder Case" by Michael Conlon, "Elizabeth’s Story" by Daniel Olsson, "Kit, Kitty, Kitten" by Andy Aliffe, "The American Connection" by Carman Cumming, "Nikolay Vailiev" by Stepan Poberowsky, "Le Grand of the Strand" by Gerry Nixon, "Responses to the Ripper Murders" by L. Perry Curtis, "Cut-throat" by Karyo Magellan, and "Diosy and D'Onston" by yours truly, Christopher T. George.

Chris - I'm off to West Ham tomorrow, as you know I had a pint in the Ten Bells before the Spurs game last month. Can you recommend any other pubs on Whitechapel Rd with a Ripper connection as well as the White Hart, I tried that link you emailed me but the site seemed to have been taken offline.
Hi SteveQuote:

Chris
Thanks Chris I have just had a look its a great site. Having done been in the Ten Bells and City Darts I have probably done the main two that are still standing but will go in the White Hart anyway. Our aim is to take the tube to Aldgate East early afternoon and see how far down Whitechapel Road we get as we hope to go to some of the old Krays hangouts as well. I bet you are looking forward to seeing a Reds game at a decent hour for a change. :PDT_Aliboronz_24:Quote:

If you are interested in the case, it is a must have!
The ITV drama from 1988 starring Michael Caine is on Crime TV now (Sky 531), I dont think I ever tire of watching this.
Hi SteveQuote:

Just for the James Maybrick fans the public house he would drink in at times, the Poste House, on Cumberland Street.
Well, er, allegedly. According to the Maybrick Diary, he drank there, at least as I read it, though whether the real James Maybrick did, or even if whomever hoaxed the Maybrick Diary did actually say he drank at the Poste House in Cumberland Street is a matter of debate -- it doesn't actually say that he took "refreshment" in the Poste House in Cumberland Street but just gives the name "Poste House." I think it is a mistake in the Diary because the place was known as the "Muck Midden" back then but there are those, even some who believe the Diary is a forgery, who say some other pub known informally as a "post house" may have been meant. The Post Office pub in School Lane has been proposed as a possible candidate.Quote:

Caught an episode of Most Haunted the other week and according to our very own Derek Acorah there were two Rippers James Maybrick being one. He failed to name the second Ripper :rolleyes:
Don't tell me, he went into a frenzied trance brought on by 'Sam'
If you're looking for the other name, give Tom Slemen a call.
I thought he also named Pedachenko (sp?).
Hi all
I was watching a video on the case of the James Maybrick diary earlier and they were appealing for a book by Dr Thomas Dutton...
I just wondered what the link to the Ripper are?
Hello DaisyChainsQuote:

However, the chief person to allege the existence of such a diary by Dr. Dutton was writer Donald McCormick (The Identity of Jack the Ripper, Jarrolds, 1959) whose writings have been challenged because he appears to have made up a lot of what he wrote about. So whether Dr. Dutton's diary ever in fact existed remains a matter of speculation.
The latest allegation, by the way, is that the Ripper might have been a Jewish pimp named Joseph Silver with worldwide connections to Europe, England, the United States, and South Africa. The claim by University of Pretoria Professor Charles van Onselen, in the book The Fox & the Flies – the World of Joseph Silver, Racketeer and Psychopath, is being met with skepticism by the Ripper community.

This is all very interesting Chris...thanks!:)Quote:
