In this episode Edward Stow thoroughly deconstructs and exposes a BBC Documentary that peddled the old worn out theory that Aaron Kosminski was a viable suspect to be the serial killer known to history as Jack the Ripper.

I don't even trust the BBC 24 hour weather forecast these days.
Trusting the BBC with producing anything reliable, or in fact even truthful is not a good idea these days.
V very true! Imo !
I wouldn't trust the BBC to tell me the time of day.
Just like CNN: CLOWNS NOT NEWS
I was a firm Kosminski believer for years, it only took like two videos on this channel to straight reverse my opinion. Extremely surprised, now that I've given it a real lookover I can't imagine it even possibly being anybody else, many thanks House Of Lechmere!
Sadly, the BBC and "biased truth" go together now....
Establishment innit, like King Charles' relationship with Jimmy Saville and the paedophile Lord Mountbatten.
@@Rumpelstyltskin was Mountbatten that "way inclined" also? Eewww.. shudder to think what someone with such connections could get away with 😬
@@loretta_3843Lord Mountbatten was a very violent child monster with probably hundreds of associated disappearances. My guess is that the apple didn't fall far from the tree. For example, 10 children in Canada went missing after a picnic with Queen Elizabeth in the 1950's. Not one of them has ever been found. Many British people think it has everything to do with adrenochrome. It's really grim stuff when a person looks into it.
@@BawlzOfuzzthat’s all been debunked as far as I can find
@@sarahgooding7785 Stop it! I know it's you Andrew.
The BBC could tell me the sky is blue and I’d have to go outside to check. And frankly I’m amazed they didn’t have a “racism” angle in this
That is the best comment here. Although, truth be said, the BBC feel they're on strong ground knowing the killer was white. So open season. However, if there was any chance that he was not white, they would have whitewashed the whole thing.
They’d have cast a black actor if they could have got away with the murders being “reputations”.
Do you mean 'reparations'?
I’m surprised the BBC didn’t Boris Johnson did it or Andrew.
The BBC will never let facts spoil a good narrative.
Bbc, lying? Surely not... 😮
If it’s BBC I automatically assume that it’s nonsense.
The BBC isn't worth watching these days.
The BBC wasn't counting on a layman who had done as much in depth research and critical thinking about the subject as you have. Lechmere has my vote as really the only suspect who reasonably fits the facts, for the Ripper murders and the Thames Torso killings.
Thank you Edward, I have watched all your videos and you are the only one who has worked hard in getting it right, you have shown us step by step on all aspects, I watched the bbc farce and was shaking my head all through it, looking forward to your next video.
Wow, thanks
If the BBC was about at the time then odds are that Jack the Ripper would of most likely been one of their presenters. 😂
Ha - yes!
But to be fair the BBC routinely keep broadcasting that England has been as ethnicalky diverse since Roman times, as London is today.... so you can't exactly bet your savings on their extortion-tax funded historical accuracy, nor their integrity, can you?
The BBC are not the men that will be blamed for nothing. I dunno why Fox gets these gigs...she played a detective on TV...that qualifies her, apparently. She's the female Tony Robinson.
She's just reading a script
Tony Robinson who only played one character and made cunning plans.
It was the BBC that did it and won't be blamed for nothing !
I'm so glad you made this video - I must have watched the BBC show half a dozen times! While I like some of the reconstructions and their adding Martha Tabram to the list of canonicals, I hated their almost desperate attempts to make Kosminsky their man. It felt like some BBC executive had told them to pick one of the McNaughton suspects and they just reworked a decent programme and tacked that on at the end!
Thank you Edward, another brilliant episode. Really enjoy your earlier episodes, please keep up your fabulous work.
Since when did the BBC ever tell the truth!
I’ve worked on documentaries. The principle concerns of the producer were generally getting the film finished on time, making sure it was fascinating , sexy and entertaining, and impressive enough to get further funding for more films. I saw quick work on research. I agree with you.
Well I watched it, and they failed on all accounts; because, thanks to EDWARD STOWS haerd work, I sat and grimaced at all the B/S.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Anything the BBC produces is laughable. I watched it the first time round and switched it off halfway through but thought I'd watch it all this time and you're right, utter drivel and after all that they came up with Aaron Kosminsky, yawn yawn yawn.
It's happening here in America. Control the news control the narrative
You're so right. The right wing media in America have brainwashed millions, spreading idiotic conspiracy theories, false narratives, and outright lies.
@harryhanz1690 It's the exact opposite. The left wing are the ESTABLISHMENT in the USA. You just spouted "Fake news" CNN:CLOWNS NOT NEWS
You have to ask why the people who misled everyone, regarding the identity of the killer, did so. If you start from there, it's easy to start excluding suspects.
Very interesting (as usual). Good to hear another perspective to a show that was made for entertainment. I'm a little disappointed in Wilson - he's usually quite interesting when I've seen him at other times.
If they'd produced one show for each murder and then one for the conclusion, then it may have been worthwhile.
Just finding this video now. Great job. Tell me, why do you think there is an 'establishment' favourite suspect? Is this a century+ old face saving exercise?
I was a witness to the suspect of a violent murder, though not to the murder itself. One thing I learnt was how utterly unreliable witness testimony is. Though it was daytime, and the killer's disguise was noticeable, the witnesses entirely contradicted themselves on things like his height, his hair colour and a host of other details. Some argued that he was over six foot. I am five foot five. I walked past him and looked straight at him. I was not looking up. We were around the same height. It was impossible for me to have looked directly into his face if he was six foot plus. I would be looking up. I wasn't. It always made me doubt the reliability of witness testimony subsequently.
Interesting
If the BBC done their research correctly like you have done Ed for the last 3/4 years, then kosminski would be at the bottom of the suspect list! Lechmere will always be at the top of the list as all the facts and red flags put him right in the frame as now Im positive you have cracked this 135 year old most famous and mysterious case in the world! Well done Ed! 🥇
Thanks
Well we have to credit Christopher Holmgrem too.
Shocking that somebody as renowned as Wilson even considers somebody as outwardly abnormal as Kosminski could be JTR.
@@theobjectivethinker64
Indeed!
Internet broked me, I can't read BBC without saying "Big Bla..."
Isn't it rather odd that such a richly endowed corporation should produce a shoddy production? Yet someone thought they could get away with it. What I find missing in every speculation is the possibility of a garrote being the first weapon, then the knife.
Yes the victims were almost certainly strangled first.
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 : I apologize, I recall your having said so ere now. I should have said "almost every"
Whenever you watch media coverage of something, people with deep knowledge on the topic are cursing at their screen. This kind of sloppyness/dishonesty is ever-present. Most of the time it slips by us because we don't know better.
@@MakerInMotion
Very true
Such a shame when documentaries fall short of what you hoped for.
The amount of research you'd have to have done to see errors quickly and be able to reference your point of view logically back to known details is quite impressive.
Great debunking. I can't watch anything by the BBC, but this would have been particularly annoying - glad someone else had the patience to dissect all their errors.
"When in doubt , blame the Polish guy "
- The BBC
Right😅
Utter rubbish.
I love it when you get angry Mr Stow💜😎😂 You and Mr Holmgrens research convinced me very early on. The truth never lies. Regards from Australia.
Ha
Thank you for dissecting this shoddy documentary. Mistakes are forgivable- manipulation of the facts
sadly to be expected- downright lies are an absolute disgrace.
Lies? We are talking about the BBC...

You will need to retype that
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 sorry u must forgive me i thought you wanted people to know the truth about the Whitechapel Murders.
The first clue that this probably wasn't going to be a strictly factual "documentary" was that rather than get someone who might at least have some sort of expertise or in depth knowledge of the subject matter to present it, they instead chose an actress who played some sort of detective(?) on a television show(which i've never seen).
Ha
It can work. The Barlow and Watt (from Z Cars) series in the 70s is what first got me interested in the case. It was repeated recently and I thought it stood the test of time very well.
@@martynb901 did you know Barlow and Watt is out on DVD it about £15 on Amazon
Thank you for this video, really enjoyed it and it came at the right time as I literally only just watched the BBC documentary a few days ago! I felt like there was some things “off” about it, but I haven’t looked up the ripper case in a fair few years so I didn’t quite figure out why it didn’t sit well with me. Keep up the great work 🎉😊👍
Thank you
Great, as usual Edward. I watched that documentary when it first aired, and again on repeat. I knew there were flaws and false claims presented as fact, but not to the extent you just brilliantly exposed. I missed some of them back then and wasn't aware of others (such as the location of Kosminski's abode at the time) I always thought it was baffling double standards of Wilson to on the one hand finger outwardly abnormal Kosminski while on the other hand argue that the Ripper was somebody normal who put the victims at ease. Seems he wanted to have it both ways. Totally unprofessional.
There was a more recent (Channel 5?) multi part documentary I hope you will tackle in time. In that, they tried to convince the viewers that none of the victims were um, 'unfortunates/ladies of the night'.
Cheers Ed.
The BBC? Say no more. I watched it at the time and it was a disappointment that Lechmere had been by-passed for one of the old favourites. Difficult to understand why they would make this effort.
the dumbing down
Great episode Edward always enjoy your videos 👍🇮🇪
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent as always Edward.. good collection of videos now.. fantastic 😊
More to come
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 the more the better 😃
Lechmere is JTR.
Absolutely.
Cobblers' awls. Kosminski is a much better suspect.
@@eadweard. Kosminski was in an insane asylum when some of the women were murdered. Lechmere lied about his real name, and where he lived. His work rout aligned with where the victims bodies were found
Didn't they blame Jeremy Corbyn ?? Anyway, that Kosminski was a EU migrant!
😅😅😅😂😊
Good informative video Ed… keep ‘em coming!! 👏🏽
More to come!
Did a Jack the Ripper "tour" (guided walk) a few years ago, where you visit the scenes (or as close to) and at one point, walk the exact route the killer would've walked between 2 victims.. it was a very foggy and cold October night and it was *excellent!*
Cannot recommend enough if you are ever in London ❤
What a brilliant analysis of the BBC's documentary. Thank goodness Emilia Fox wasn't working for the police in Kosminski's time. She seems willing to stop at nothing to frame him.
Randy Williams has an intriguing JTR theory
Love this video it’s a brilliant representation of how a modern television corporation who is known for lies and propaganda that protects dodgy people even have to bend the truth over crimes that happened over 130 years ago just to fit their own agenda. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I can't wait for you to debunk in the next Video! But the real gem for me will be when you create a video debunking Walter Sickert. Patricia's first Jack book is a nice read though and she does try very hard to delve into his mind and motivations. Her writing about the 'Dear Boss' letter stationary was really good in the novel and needs to be further examined I think. It seemed like good evidence to support Sickert as Jack. I always wondered if Lechmere ever met Sickert at those underground clubs and other debauched places. I don't know why both men seem so very similar. One with an eviscerated knighthood and the other with an eviscerated manhood. I could imagine a fictional film where they 'work' together called "Sick & Lech" - sounds scary! Anyway Excellent Video!!!
Cornwall is a goof, imo. She's blinded by her own confirmation bias.
I think Sickert is too ridiculous for Edward to waste his time on.
The BBC peddling nonsense and changing facts to fit a theory - imagine that! 🤣
I've read a couple of Prof. Wilson's books and thought he was sensible and knowledgeable on the subject of serial killers but maybe I need to rethink that assessment if he is so ready to twist facts and abandon common sense. Or maybe he just got locked into going along with the narrative that the programme makers wanted to put out??
Yes I think he got locked into the script
Thanks for the solid content and leg work you put in. I find it laughable that some of these chaps think you are getting rich off doing these videos.
Ha yes!
It was the biggest pile of bbc bllocks Ive ever seen. I don't watch live tv and do not have a licence so I saw it at a friends house when it was previously broadcast who works in the legal world and he couldn't stop laughing at how bad the evidence was presented.
I spoke do david Wilson about it - he distanced himself!
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 Hes probably wishing he didn't do it now but I wouldn't put it passed the bbc to trick the Professor and edit the documentary very badly. He needs to do his documentary to clear him of the bbc debunk! It would be good if you and him could do one. I only watch you mainly now for in depth Ripper videos, a few other are sometimes ok but I watch you when you have new video. I deleted the Facebook sites as their are Ripperologists who just rip into your comments and theory's. They just want to sell their books. They are rude in some cases!
Watched this show myself at the time and thought it was load of bollocks!!
Excellent.
Clearly a laboured attempt by the BBC at making a suspect fit the crime. Would the allegations made in the BBC film convict Kosminski ? I doubt it.
The case for Lechmere however would seem a much more viable proposition to a jury I think ?
Making the crime fit the suspect like that is not how detection should be done. The greatest detective of all time had he existed would be turning in his grave add some of the stuff the BBC said and did during that documentary
Undoubtedly Lechmere would impress a jury - Kosminski not in the least even with the fake evidence in the BBC nonsense
Facts altered to fit a narrative, are no longer facts. They're inexactitudes at best! 🤣
Very nicely done, Sir...
You have out done yourself again. Your deduction and prowess have without a doubt, point us is back to Lechmere. Thank you !
Many thanks!
Only 11 major errors - not bad for the bbc!
12, the dna evidence on the shawl. Which they can't even prove belonged to Catherine Eddowes and the dna wasn't even Aaron Kosminskis. Which they said it was, that was cocked up as well. Although at the time they thought they were right. It was pointed out later that they'd got a number wrong in the dna sequence.
VERY helpful and informative....I was worried about what this vid would contain/say
but it was GREAT
What did you think it would contain?
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 Well, you know how it is, people have their own story to push often with zero good evidence or logic or they have some OUTLANDISH theory etc...Also, I'm Sick of the TV shows that focus on the extreme nature of the murders but which are light on facts or logical thinking and which continue to spew outdated fantasies about all this....they just want viewers
What else do you expect from the BBC, just watch their recent horrible histories.
They are just as accurate with world news and politics. And any given subject really. They continue to be a disgrace.
"We were here from the start" makes me vomit 🤮
What's up with Horrible Histories??
@@davedennison7386 according to them, Africans were the original British citizens, and they built Britain, which means that Africans were responsible for the British Empire and the slave trade, so they owe me reparations.
Don’t pay the b b c tax
Whoever it was, it had to be someone who fitted into that area. Someone who did not look out of place. Someone like Lechmere who was in that area every day during the week for years. Kosminski would stick out like a sore thumb.
Exactly

Another great video Edward
Love how Emelia seems to have lost her posh accent in favour of one more fitting for the East End! lol
Ha
I’m not so sure if the BBC documentary falls into the category of ‘hoax’. They had little to gain by that. I suspect it’s just lazy research. The producer probably read Martin Fido’s book on the matter and just ran with it without thinking. The other issues were just carelessness and/or laziness.
Umberto Eco famously said ‘it’s easy to identify the lunatic. Sooner or later, he mentions the templars’. It’s equally easy to identify the tv producer with no ideas. Sooner or later he (always he) says ‘let’s do Jack the Ripper. I know where I can get some dry ice...’.
He was never cought & arrested by the London Metropolitan Police!
He always seemed to get away!
Queen Victoria herself blamed the police for not being able to catch Jack the Ripper himself!
It was extremely difficult to resolve.
He was. Then he was identified by witnesses, then he was dealt with by the law, in secrecy.
Thanks.
Why are you lying? The police were hot on the trail throughout, due to advanced thinking by Inspector Abeline. He was conducting door-to-door enquiries down the murderers street quite early on, having employed investigation techniques which were decades ahead of their time. The killer was witnessed and reported, duly arrested, identification confirmed and he was dealt with through legal process. There was no publicity. The fantasists have no interest in the truth and thereby wrecking a lucrative industry preying on the gullible. I'm actually withholding details as you lot don't deserve to know.
@@noonsight2010I know too
Have to admit, I did wonder how they managed to pull that incredibly dishonest one off. Kosminsky spoke Yiddish and if he did speak English it would have been heavily accented and that contradicts the known evidence from witnesses.
Nice one, Edward. Top notch.
Who the hell believes anything to come out of a harborer of criminals ?
Another informative video Edward. Thanks for debunking that BBC drivel. Look forward to you doing the same in your next one on Kosminski.
Glad you enjoyed it
The man Mrs Long saw and described as "shabby genteel" is in fact a quite good characterization of that chap Lechmere, a "fallen" nobleman as he was, living in quite poor conditions in London's East End and not in a countryside manor with acres of land and plenty of staff serving him. Maybe history is playing us a funny little game here?
Yes i hadn't thought of that
I thought he hadn't become affluent until he was older. At the time of the ripper killings, he was a mere cart driver for a meat vendor and had something like 12 children already. Not someone who sounds like a Toff to me?
@@franceshaypenny8481 It's just a plain observation from me. Take it or leave it.
I stopped watching, listening and paying years ago, I feel so much better
Excellent stuff as always.
As far as I am concerned, Aaron Kosminski was far too unstable (mentally) to have planned and committed the murders and gotten away.
Exactly
He was also far too conspicuous and would stand out too much.
Very true. The reason serial killers can stay hidden is because they present a very different version of themselves to those around them to conceal themselves. This allows them to then commit violent crimes to satiate the real side of them they’re concealing. It makes 0 sense that the ripper would be an openly violent person for that reason.
@@ItsSVO Agree
Its shocking that Wilson didnt stick to his own mantra that he is always espousing elsewhere. He calls it "the banality of evil" and that such serial killers are outwardly normal, even respectable.
I watched this I think. I’ve never believed it was Kosminski. I didn’t believe the show. I liked the theory that there were more than the canonical five though.
Great video Edward. It's certainly made me think a bit. I remember watching the documentary a few years ago and thought it seemed so plausible. But it does seem like its just been made for TV, from watching this.
Prof Wilson has made some embarrassing claims in multiple documentaries I've watched over the years on serial killers.
Yeah, it raises my curiosity given he appears on a huge variety of true crime shows, invariably as the stand in criminologist. Is this how he makes income? Does he research these cases before going in front of the camera (beyond Wikipedia)? My guess: I think the people involved, like him, would rely upon the evidence given to them from the producers/writers/directors of the show and clearly, that can be tainted with bias and sensationalism. His criminology theories are sound, but I'm guessing he's shown only half the evidence, to support the producers claims.
@@skullsaintdead Sound theory.
An excellent watch as always.
Many thanks!
Thanks Ed I have been looking forward to you doing something about the biased BBC documentary.
I was stunned at how lop sided it was. I liked the recreation of the crime scene but other than that, absolute garbage.
Exactly
I saw it a few years ago. Their conclusion is neither here nor there but my impression was that they put far more emphasis on flaunting a couple of bits of tech than thinking straight. Kind of the perils of tech in microcosm: obviously it can be advantageous but beware your senses being blunted.
@herbert9241 sadly yes. This is what happens when they just fill a hour spot rather than a comprehensive take on the facts. Facts being the main thing they messed up. So sick of hearing Kosminski being put out there as the killer, especially after that "DNA" shambles a few years back. Such a waste and a complete embarrassment for the BBC once again. Dant do it properly, don't bloody do it at all.
Very good video, I thought the same. The bbc documentery was badly researched! It was Utter rubbish!
Another awesome vid mate
Glad you enjoyed
I listened to it when it first came out. It was crap from the start and anyone who was interested in the Ripper knew it was rubbish.
Polly Nicholls going down a poorly-lit Street with the wild-looking Aaron Kosminski, after possibly meeting on the well-lit Whitechapel Road, is extremely unlikely, Edward....Much more likely that Charles Lechmere would have been acceptable to Polly and she may even had known Lechmere, so wasn't afraid of him......IMHO, Charles Lechmere is JTR.🤔🤲
Yes
I doubt poor Aaron would've known how to solicit services from a prostitute. He had schizophrenia and it was apparent that he wasn't mentally fit. He likely wouldn't have money to spend anyway, as he'd been unable to make a living because of his delusions and refusal to eat.
@@franceshaypenny8481 And he didn't wash.
Ed, I recently watched one on a UA-cam channel-profiling Evil, called analysing jack the rippers path using geographic profiling. The main source of expertise was Dr Spencer Chainey. If you think the BBC was bad try listening to this so called expert. He was without doubt awful on every way. Changing statements and timings to suit his opinion. And not once did anyone challenge his information.
Very good analysis of the lazy BBC conclusions.
Great stuff Ed! This is so true I disagreed with a lot of their theories too , also they said about Mary Kelly's clothes being folded ? Saying tithe ripper must have a certain psyche to do that but have no idea if he folded clothes ? Kaminski doesn't fit any profile like the ripper does ? Poor documentary very slap dash .

They dont see anyone.
So the killer is one of those two.
In defence of Wilson, I fear he might have been subject of leading questions and editing. Still, the paycheck might have helped a little.
I really struggle to believe nobody heard any of the murders in progress , i get kept awake by a crisp packet stuck at the bottom of a dripping downspout .
Albert Cadosch probably heard the Chapman murder in progress, and a neighbor of Kelly heard a cry of murder at a time when Kelly may have been murdered.
The Biased Broadcasting Company, or wokey dokey
As an historian, these types for tv shows like the BBC documentary, is nuisance and should be view as pure entertainment, not a source of knowledge. Though I guess they have a role in keeping subjects relevant.
Do think that it's possible that who ever killed Polly had access to the gate and horse stables? And when he heard Lechmere walking towards him simply slipped through the gate and escaped through the stables. That's why nobody heard and foot falls in the dead silent dark night on the cobbles of the road.
From the stables to where? And he locked the door afterwards?
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 Well, I've never been there so I don't know if there was another exit or not, assuming there was, most places have at least 2 exits.But any way, I was just throwing that out there as a possibility. But obviously it isn't.
You're an expert then ?@@thehouseoflechmere9407
I watched this before watching the BBC documentary. What I found really striking was them discounting Tumblety because he would have an American accent, but seconds later describing how their suspect had emigrated from Poland a few years earlier! I would think it’s fair to say that Kosminski would have also had a noticeable accent. Also, if you believe that the writing on the wall in Goulston Street graffiti was written by Jack the Ripper, is it likely that Kosminski misspelt his own religious sect like that? It would be more likely that he’d slip back to his native tongue and write Zyd.
I do think Lechmere is a more likely suspect, but I’m not convinced of his guilt. I personally don’t believe we have ever identified the real Jack the Ripper.
Keep watching!
Imo not enough attention is given to socio economic factors. Firstly, the intricate local knowledge of those who seldom use transport. They walk, every day, and have more chance to see private, hidden areas.
Secondly, the lack of clothing options for the working poor. For a man customarily unemployed to have an entire change of clothes would be rare. A working outfit with a shabby coat, yes. But two presentable leisure outfits would be rare, specially with distinctive coats or jackets.
Also someone changing his clothes unexpectedly would be an object of curiousity in his household.
Three shirts meant a man was doing well. One in slightly better condition to wear when at leisure, and a well worn if not ragged shirt for physical work was the norm, and the "good" shirt along with the "Sunday" coat were often pawned so weren't available.
Therefore i certainly don't think Jack popped home to change and it seems irrefutable that he was someone who lived close to the sites, had done so for many years, and customarily and often walked the streets.
Good points
Fabulous video, I am almost insulted Prof Wilson (he of comfy jumpers) and "meals" didn't mention lechmere as a suspect. Incredible detective skills in finding the evidence to debunk a lot of what was suggested like the changing of the clothing at zion St. Kosminski would have had to have used a TARDIS. Fabulous docco Ed. I normally would treat what bleksely and Wilson say as gospel.
Prof David Wilson is the epitome of the phrase 'style over substance'. He speaks with great conviction but in reality the quality of his TV work is poor, and frequently features glaring factual errors.
Wilson doesn't do even the most basic research on the true crime cases he analyses. The guy is making a very nice living as a high profile criminologist, without even a fraction of the expertise he claims!
@@glamdolly30 OK so , thanks for reading and saying something
I admit I had been fooled into thinking he does his own research. He has met many serial killers so he is very credible but his discussion, sometimes is above my intellect. I suppose it keeps him in jumpers eh ? He does look very comfortable.
12:01 - It was a damp overcast morning, with sparse rain throughout the night.
Weren't they all during the Industralial Revolution?
@@cherylmarcuri5506 Nope. Even Doyle in Sherlock Holmes sets some of his stories to a summer sunlit London hot like an oven.
All kinds of clothing & hats would have been available for a song at The Petticoat Lane market & surly it would have been in the murderer's interest to change his appearance from time to time,to throw the police off the scent.Didn't Lechmere grow up next to The Wilton Musical Hall ? So may not have been adverse to the odd 'costume-change.' There is no evidence to place Aaron Kosminski any where near the murders .Perhaps it's just veiled anti-semitism rearing it's ugly head again , as it did at the time . Isael Swartz being called 'Lipski' is not a term a Jew would surly use to a fellow Jew.
