About This Item
Sparkford, UK: Sutton Publishing, 2006. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. First printing. Fine in fne dust jacket. Hardcover. 208 pp. with index, bibliography. Illustrations. The story of Montague J. Druitt, one of the most popular candidate (and to some, THE strongest candidate) to be the actual Jack The Ripper. Born into a comfortable bourgeois family and a noted cricket player, Druitt moved in artistic and aristocratic circles. In 1888, at the height of the Ripper furore, he was summarily and mysteriously dismissed from his post at a boys' school. A few weeks later, after the murder of the Ripper's fianl victim, Mary Kelly, he was found drowned in the Thames. But was it suicide or murder? In 1894, Chief Constable Sir Melville Macnaghten named Druitt as the Ripper murderer. Or was he?
