Jack the Ripper- From Hell, From Hull? The book has expanded at an alarming rate, and now features massive chapters on several suspects with links to Hull. Among them are Walter Sickert, the chapter looks at all the authors and theorists that have presented books on this enigmatic man. Looking indepth at claims made by Patricia Cornwell, Stephen Knight, Melvin Fairclough, Jean Overton Fuller, and Donald McCormick. Prince Albert, the chapter presents a detailed account of “Bertie’s” several visit’s to Hull, and a massive chapter on his dealings with the Wilson family at Tranby Croft. Prince Eddy, the chapter looks at Eddy’s many visit’s to the City, his life, and the claims by authors surrounding his alleged involvement in the Whitechapel Murders. Frederick Bailey Deeming, the chapter looks at Deeming’s life, criminal past, and visit to Hull. A full account of Deeming in the Hull Press is also given, alongside the previously unpublished Magistrates papers when he was imprisoned in Hull! And thats only four of the eight suspects!! The section of the book on Robert D’Onston Stephenson is taking shape with chapters on his early life, the life of his father’s side of the family, and the life of his mother’s side of the family. Each chapter is fully referenced, with footnotes, and sources listed for anyone wishing to learn more about the sources of information used. In fact, the book is so huge, that a recent investigation showed that the memory card holding the text file only is almost 2GB and rising, forcing me to copy the text files over to a much larger 4GB card!! |
