Goulston Street: The Quest for Jack the Ripper

Product Information

The answer to these questions will be known when we find the exact location of the graffiti, where was it written, on what portion of wall?

This would suggest that he was heading for the safety of his home or lodging and that he was, therefore, a local man living in the heart of the area. Since the doorway stood on Metropolitan Police territory, his word was final, and he immediately concurred with his officers that leaving the graffito any longer would lead to far greater crimes against innocent Jews. You’ll find a renowned selection of fruit and vegetable stalls. Added to that, you can shop for clothing, linens and household essentials. There are also cafes and eateries including pie and mash shops that serve traditional London dishes. Location Given the events of a few weeks previous, Warren was probably justified in his belief that erasing the message would spare innocent Jews from becoming the targets of avenging gentile mobs and he probably made the right judgment call based on the information immediately available to him.

SIR CHARLES WARREN ARRIVES

The second, ‘The Juwes are the men who will not be blamed for nothing,’ appears in Chief Inspector Swanson’s summary report; In a confidential memorandum from Sir Charles Warren to Henry Mathews, we find specific mention of the location: It’s actually irrelevant whether anyone makes or made sense of it, now or then. What’s important is that it appeared to be relevant at the time and was treated as a clue, despite the terrible transcription of the message. There are also some great fashion bargains and other goods available throughout the week along Wentworth Street . Location

The London County Council Bomb Damage Maps, 1939-45, Ed. Anne Saunders (London Topographical Society 2005) Halse said he noted it down before it was erased, but here we have Long stating not only that he recorded it before it was erased but the fact it was witnessed by the Inspector. And the Inspector read his notes and apparently compared what was recorded with what was on the wall. So bearing that in mind, who's version would we feel was likely to be the most accurate? an unwitnesed version by Halse or a witnessed version by Long? There are, admittedly, several possible routes that he could have taken, but they can all be done at a rapid pace in around ten minutes or less.The evidence provided certain clues about the Ripper’s behaviour on the night, which was the same evening Elizabeth Stride had been killed. Having murdered two people in an hour, the area would have been filling with police officers. The positioning of the apron in a doorway to the east of Mitre Square suggests the Ripper must have dropped it while he fled the scene rapidly and was going to ground.
