Vakuutuin kyllä tieteellisestä todistusaineistosta ja hämmästyin joistain johtopäätöksistä, joita ei ilmeisesti kukaan ollut aiemmin tullut ajatelleeksi. Vaikkapa koskien kyseistä, pääosaa esittävää shaalia. Uskoakseni nyt on vihdoin todistettu, kuka oikeastaan oli tämä kuuluisa sarjamurhaaja, sillä esille tulleet yhteesattumat eivät voi muuten olla mahdollisia. Monet mielikuvat, jotka ovat kulkeneet aina tänne nykypäivään todistettiin vääriksi, kuten vaikkapa se, että murhaajan on täytynyt olla anatomiaa tuntenut kirurgi, sillä niin taitavaa silpominen oli kuulemma ollut. Tämä kyllä oli aikoinaan torpattu viimeistään viimeisen uhrin kohdalla, joten en toivottavasti tullut paljastaneeksi liikaa. In this book, Edwards recounts his interest in the Ripper (this whole book has rather too much about the author for my particular taste, but he does recount the story well and his memories of watching news reports about the Yorkshire Ripper which triggered his fascination were interesting) and his attempt to buy a shawl which was believed to have belonged to one of the Ripper victims, Catherine Eddowes. Edwards was convinced that he knew something about this shawl that everyone else had missed and that it contained incontrovertible proof about the Ripper’s identity.

She told him that she would get a bed in the Casual Ward of the Shoe Lane Workhouse. She had separated from her husband and five children in 1880, and thereafter her life became a downward spiral, blighted by poverty and alcoholism.Russell Edwards' proclamation that he has “incontrovertible proof, the kind of proof that would stand up to any cross-examination in a courtroom today" of the Ripper's identity simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny. On Saturday, 29th September, 1888, she had spent the afternoon cleaning two rooms at the lodging house, for which she was paid sixpence by the deputy keeper, and, by 6.30 p.m., she was enjoying a drink in the Queen's Head pub, at the junction of Fashion Street and Commercial Street. At 5.30 that morning, Elizabeth Long saw her talking with a man outside number 29, in Hanbury Street, but, since there was nothing suspicious about the couple, she continued on her way, hardly taking any real notice. One of the more elaborate theories to emerge in recent years names Craig, a Victorian newspaper journalist who was disgraced after being found to have plagiarised the Daily Telegraph. By the time she reached her mid-teens, both her parents had died, and she and her siblings were separated, with Catherine returning to Wolverhampton to live with an aunt.

"She was," he continued, "usually in the company of two or three of her kind, fairly neatly dressed and invariably wearing a clean white apron, but no hat." They summoned the spirit of Elizabeth Stride, and after some delay the spirit came, and, in answer to questions, stated that the murderer was a middle-aged man, whose name she mentioned, and who resided at a given number in Commercial-road or street, Whitechapel, and who belonged to a gang of twelve." THE MURDER OF CATHERINE EDDOWESIn recent years, the graves that were here have been cleared away, and the area in general is now awaiting redevelopment.
