Subjects:
All killings occured within one mile area and involved the districts of Whitechapel,
Spitalfields, Aldgate, and the city of London proper. The man I am refering to is no other
then the natorious Jack the Ripper, the Whitechapel, or the Leather Apron.
Jack the Ripper is signifacant and popular, not just because he was a serial killer,
but because he was the first to appear in a large metropolis at the time when the general
puplic had become literate and the press was a force for social change. The Ripper
apperaed when there was a tremendous political turmoil and both leberals and social
reformers, also the Irish Home rule partisans tried to use the crimes for their own ends.
Its hard to beleive that this has only happened twelve years ago. Everyday there would
be an editorial or a chronicle in the newspaper about the activities of the Ripper or the
police. Many of you remember this and reading about the Ripper and know what I am
. . .
wasen’t, what if the Ripper if still out there, looking for his next victim.
3) The name of Macnaghten's second suspect was confirmed as Aaron Kosminiski.
5) Mary Jane Kelly, murdered Friday, November 9, 1888.
How the Ripper operated was by approaching the women he would stand facing
his victim.
The suspects:
1) 31 year old M. The Ripper would sometimes take a kidney from the
front or the viscera, and in one case he took the sexual organs with one clean swipe. There was never
any sign of intercourse with any the victims. After
that he would start his mutilations.
2) Annie Chapman, murdered Saturday, September 8, 1888. The only one to beleive he was the murderer was Sir Melville Macnaghten
the cheif Constable who wrote his memorandaa from memory and most of his facts were
wrong. This
indicates that the murderer had some degree of anatomical knowledge. ress was a big part of the whole case because we informed the public
of the killings and it seeemed that this was all new to everyone only because it was the
most publisized case.
You have heard the facts and learned all about the Ripper and the murders, do u
think you know who it is.
The letters the Ripper Supposovly wrote were thought to have been written by a
journalist named Tom Bulling because the letters written came after the day of the
double murder. The press had created the “boogey man” and many
myths and puzzles for the public.
