Free Jack the Ripper: The Secret Police Files by Trevor Marriott Page A

the graffiti was not connected to the murder there could be another interpretation. I would now seek to put forward what could be a plausible explanation. The English spoken and written language has always been at times difficult for many people to grasp in particular people from foreign countries. We have words that are written differently to how they are spoken or pronounced, and in Victorian times I would imagine it was even more difficult with a larger percentage of the population not even being able to read or write and of the others who could read and write were not proficient in correct spelling but merely wrote as they spoke.
    In view of that an alternative explanation could be the writer of that graffiti intended to write, “The Jurors are the men that will be blamed for nothing” and wrote how he spoke. When spoken quickly the “R” and the “W” are very similar. Further corroboration to this theory is borne out by the fact that in 1888 all juries in criminal trials in this country were all male. It was not until 1919 that women were allowed to sit on a jury. So the graffiti could have been written by a disgruntled person who had perhaps been convicted rightly, or wrongly by a jury, or someone who had sat on a jury and had been ridiculed for being responsible for finding someone guilty who others thought should have been acquitted.

    I have said many times during my investigation and on a daily basis to other researchers it is for each individual to read, assess and evaluate what is presented to them and to accept or reject my explanations regarding the apron piece and the graffiti having regard to the fact that neither cannot be conclusively proved or disproved, which is the same for most of the theories surrounding the mystery. All of my new theories go against all that has been accepted for over 125 years, and Ripper researchers still find it hard to accept new evidence and theories.
    So now I believed I was making progress by already casting a major doubt about several important evidential issues surrounding The Ripper mystery but I was still no nearer in identifying “Jack”.
    MARY JANE KELLY
    The next victim in chronological order was twenty-five-year-old Mary Kelly. Unlike the other prostitutes, who were killed on the streets where they worked, Kelly had her own private room. She met her death on the night of November 8th 1888, at 13, Miller’s Court, off Dorset Street, where she was disembowelled, disfigured and dismembered in a fury of madness. The post-mortem found no defensive wounds, nor any signs of a struggle. She may even have been killed as she slept or rendered unconscious first. Most of her vital organs had been removed from the body and were found in various parts of her room, but none appear to have been taken away despite the doctor’s initial report stating that the heart was absent from the pericardium. There was no suggestion that any organs had been removed with any medical precision. I think this fact alone adds more weight to my earlier suggestion that the organs removed from Chapman and Eddowes were removed by someone other than their killer.
    The last person who supposedly saw her alive was a man by the name of George Hutchinson. He stated he was in the location of Miller’s Court at around 2.00am on November 9th and states he saw Kelly with a male and watched them walk off together towards the direction of her lodgings. For whatever reason Hutchinson did not come forward at the time but waited several days until after the short inquest to give his account.
    The details of his statement are:
    “About 2.00am, 9, I was coming by Thrawl Street, Commercial Street, and just before I got to Flower and Dean Street I met the murdered woman Kelly and she said to me, 'Hutchinson, will you lend me Sixpence?' I said, 'I can’t, I've spent all my money going down to Romford,' she said, 'Good morning, I must go and find some money.' She went away towards Thrawl Street, a man coming in the
