“JACK THE RIPPER”
Dr. Forbes Winslow Tells How He Obtained A Clue
POLICE RED-TAPISM
Dr. Forbes Winslow has issued the following with reference to the “Jack the Ripper” murders, interest in which has been revived by the published statements of Sir Robert Anderson and Mr. George Kebbell:-
Sir
I beg to challenge the observations which have appeared during the last few days relative to the announcement that ‘Jack the Ripper’ was captured.
If there is any one who should know as to this, I claim to be that person.

CHASING THE KILLER
The last murder committed was that of Alice Mackenzie, on July the 17th, 1889.
In the August of that year I obtained a clue which I carefully worked up.
I traced the man from lodging to lodging; in fact, where had stayed the night of the individual murders.
I had feathers from the hats of the women which he left in the individual lodgings which were handed to me by the proprietors of the rooms.
I had a pair of Canadian snowshoes that he left behind him at some lodgings, which were stained with blood.
I knew his haunts, his ways of living, and his habits.
He was a religious, homicidal monomaniac.
THE POLICE NOTIFIED
Every Sunday morning he was to be seen on the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
I took the police into my confidence. I offered to catch the man provided they would render the assistance I asked.
The red-tapism surrounding Scotland Yard prevented their doing this.
I was told by them that my clue was a very good one, but as a public body they could not help a private individual in his investigations.
I warned them of what I should do.
Receiving no help as requested, I published my clue.
THE MURDERS CEASED
From that time to the present day more ‘Jack the Ripper’ murders have been committed.
Though I did not actually capture the man, my intervention and action frightened him away.
A LETTER FROM JACK THE RIPPER
I have in my possession the actual letter sent by ‘Jack the Ripper,’ the same writing as to which Sir Robert Anderson alludes being found under the arches, and which the police rubbed off.
One of the force identified the writing on the letter as being the same to which I am alluding.
HE WAS NEVER CAPTURED
It was a keen disappointment that the police did not act in co-operation with me.
I cannot, however, allow the statement to be made that was ever captured.
What became of him after I had frightened him away remains a mystery which will never fathomed.”
