Wow, I’m really impressed by your historical knowledge. Not just the case, but the whole area, time period, etc. I appreciate all the pictures of the people and locations. You can tell you’ve put a lot of work into your videos. I’m enjoying your channel very much, thank you
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 well done and very impressive. I will give you credit for having the endurance to examine all this incredible stuff for it definitely give her quite the nightmares😅
I never knew much about the Jack the Ripper cases beyond what the common folk know. This channel has helped me gain more of an understanding. Thank you for all of your hardwork.
Thank you for being so respectful of Ms. Stride and the others. It's good to see the measure of our evolution when compared to the past. And as always, amazing video!
You are a treasure trove of detailed info that you string together to make such a clear picture of the victims and their timelines and movements leading up to their murders. Your films never fail to fascinate. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! 🙂
Fantastic as always Ed. I don't remember hearing about the connection between the coffee shop/brothel and Pickfords before. An interesting one for sure. I've long thought Stride was hawking for business on Berner Street and the drunk that Schwartz is alleged to have seen walking along the street towards Stride (if it was her) was spoken to by Stride for a bit of 'business'. He was offended at the idea and reacted angrily and physically, but no more than that. Stride then dusted herself down and continued lingering and trying to hawk herself by the pubs and clubs then JTR came along. He may even have been being drawn to her because of what had just happened. The incident Schwartz describes does not seem to be a Ripper like blitz attack to me. Cheers. Enjoyed it as usual.
I've been fascinated by this case since I was (probably way too) young. And since Elizabeth was swedish just like me I've always felt a sort of kinship to her.
Your skill and tenacity at peeling the onion are legendary, Edward! No stone unturned. I don’t know how you can discover all this fascinating information.
Brilliantly put together and unbiased presentation of the known facts. I salute you, sir. Along with The Jack the Ripper Tour vids, your series is the best insight into these crimes. Thank you and best wishes.
I love how you highlight the fact that we have no way of knowing for certain if *any* of the witnesses even saw Liz Stride herself, let alone her killer! The accounts given to the police should be taken seriously, but also looked at critically. In this case, though, they provide no concrete lead...but they may have given Lechmere the idea to write Lipski where he dumped the torso at Pinchin street, if it was he who wrote it (no doubt in my mind he committed the murders, of course: both the White Chapel murders and the Thames torso murders).
To be honest after reading number of books on the ripper, watching documentaries and watching these very detailed videos I have come to the opinion that the press confused much of the timelines, evidence etc to get new angles to print.
Another excellent film ! A masterful balance of maps, photos, quotations and location pieces really tell the story better than reading it in any book. In the future I can see your films becoming the “go to” source for historians.
A weird coincidence seeing a place called Clark's yard in the middle of Jack the ripper's hunting ground, when Peter Sutcliffe, the yorkshire ripper, worked as a driver for Clark Engineering 90 years later. Another excellent video, thanks.Interesting that the witness descriptions of men with moustaches and hats in those days didnt really narrow it down much, whereas now they most certainly would.
Something of interest.the private detectives mentioned in this video are ,le grand and batchelor.le grand was actually a career criminal and known to police,and its hard to imagine batchelor not being aware of his partners rap sheet.so this dodgy duo give the evening news a tip off about packer and while they did the give a false statement claiming to come from packer himself( which included an inaccurate height, sound and time he closed his shop).no confidence should be put into these two shifty chaps.the video also says alegedly ' a grape stalk was found,but we have a mrs harstein and mrs rosnfeild ( sisters) who saw this grape stalk in dutfeilds during the daytime after the murder. Another point worth remembering is p.c smith saw stride with a man across from packers shop at about12:35..
I find it interesting that there were a number of consistent descriptions of tthe flower that Stride wore, but that no grapes were found in her system, or at the crime scene. Also interesting, are the descriptions of her male companion. While they all generally describe him as respectably dressed, his hat, and coat, are described differently in most statements.
Thought that came to mind during your video. And you mention a "4-minute" window of opportunity. Broad Shoulder Man rough ups Stride. Either a pimp or someone out to rob a prostitute. Pipe smoking man is his lookout. Israel Schwartz strolls by and interrupts. Broad Shoulder man cries out to his pipe-smoking man “Lipski!’ alerting him to Schwartz presence. That man gives chase to Schwartz. Broad Shoulder man also takes off fearing Schwartz will bring the Cops. Then a “Good Samaritan” approaches Stride on the pretense of helping her. But in actually might have been stalking her earlier. He does the deed but can’t escape and hides in Dutfield’s yard until the coast is clear. Diemschutz entering the club. Then, it takes off.
A very possible scenario. I like it. My own hunch was that Broad Shouldered Man was just a drunk coming along the street and was accosted by Stride hawking herself. He got affronted reacted physically. Then went on his way. Stride carried on lingering by the pubs and clubs and JTR came along 15 minutes later. He might even have seen the affray, as you noted.
👍 I absolutely love this channel, and totaly agree on Lechmere being Jack. Your investigation is superbe. I've 1 question (if anybody knows?). "Are there C.O.D's of the Lady's, in the autopsy report"? Throught cut or strangulation?
Ed your details are impressive better than any other channel. I must have watced hundreds of these various ripper vids over the years as i myself was born in Stepney ( East End Maternity Hospital), Commercial Rd in 1956, Lived in Jubilee St. Stepney during my youth and later in my teens had a girlfriend in Valance Rd in the flats oppposite the Krays house so walked past many of your sites many times not knowing the significance but 67 now and living in Canvey Island. I would like to walk the East End streets one last time before my time is up. Anyway well done🙂
67 is young! I lived on Hannibal Road, in the Clichy Estate and on Jamaica Street, in the block they filmed Sparrows Can't Sing. Near you. And I was working on Canvey last week.
Thank you for bringing up the book "The Five" , it didn't sit right with me that the author said they were not prostitutes, it is doing a huge disservice to the ladies.
Mr. Stow, thank you for another fascinating video. I do know how the killer received the moniker of Jack the Ripper, but do you have an idea as to how he became known as Leather Apron among the inhabitants of the Whitechapel and Spitalfields areas?
Hi Ed , just a thought .. I think the ripper may have used the church bells ringing as a window to kill .. a little bit like on shawshank redemption when Andy hits the pipe when the thunder strikers .. this would help explain why no one ever hear anything .. because maybe he strangled them when the bells rang to cover any noise …
A very interesting episode, thankyou so much for your research time and the energy in making these video's. White or (black, schwartz.. Svart problem ?)
Excellent as always. I appreciate the carefully researched facts (from actual contemporary records, not just somebody's fever dream about prince whoever or someone equally ridiculous) and the accurate but sympathetic portrayal of the victims as what they were--women who, for whatever reason, were forced to make at least part of their living selling their bodies on the street. It makes perfect sense that the Ripper would choose these women as victims. They were handy, vulnerable, easily directed to suitably dark and deserted premises, apparently in a weakened condition and easily overcome. I doubt they were chosen because JTR hated prostitutes. Seems more likely he hated and resented all women, these were just the easiest to get. Brings to mind Edmund Kemper who killed hitchhiking co-eds to, in some way, destroy his hated mother. They weren't prostitutes but, like JTR's victims, put themselves in vulnerable positions and were thus easy prey. Keep up the good work, Mr. Stow.
I was unaware there was a fruit seller between Dutfields yard and the pub on the corner! A couple of questions Ed : In her death photo, Liz Stride looks like she has a fat lip - to my mind, she looks like she has been punched. Is there any written account of this? Second question: Do any of the multitude of descriptions fit Charles Lechmere? Thank you.
Its been a while since i read packers statement, he was interviewed once by the evening news late in the evening on 3rd oct, he says: between 1130-12 stopped at his shop the man was 30-35 medium heigh.he wore a black coat and soft black hat .he didnt appear to be a working man. He spoke like an educated man with a loud sharp voice and a quick commanding way with him.' Theres also the statement in assistant commisioners bruces' handwritting,which is missing something important and that is..mathew packers signature. To have any value at all it needed to be signed by packer.
Sorry, I may have misheard this, and it is trivial, but did you say that Liz Stride was given 6d by 'Elizabeth Tanner'? It's a pity she didn't do the work for Harriet Half-a-Crown!
For all you know Diemschutz himself could have been involved because his story doesn't stack up. The researcher Randy Williams came up with a very plausible case for his involvement and far from being speculative, he actually produces factual evidence to support his theory.
Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge about the White Chapel Murders and the navigation through the crime scenes. It was always nearly impossible for me to picture Whitechapel's streets and many homes, workhouses, bars and alleyways. So I enjoy watching your walks through the historic streets, it gives me an idea of the place and fills in some questions that make me wonder about things witnesses say to the press. Now I don't know if anyone really saw Liz Stride with her killer that night but it seems very likely that he could have been hiding in the dark when Mr. Diemschutz brought his pony into the yard and made his escape when Mr. Diemschutz went inside the building for help. He must have just missed seeing Jack the Ripper. Still a terrifying tale after 136 years. One that has fascinated me since I was 12 years old and was told Jack the Ripper was Montague John Druitt. My feelings certainly changed concerning the White Chapel Killer over the years of reading and haunting the CaseBook and JTR Forums. My thought is that Charles Lechmere is most likely to be Jack the Ripper. I do admit to a small bit of belief in Joseph Barnett, still, too. Any way, your channel is just excellent, intelligent and entertaining. I can't wait for the next installment in this most fascinating series.
By no means am I a ripperologist. I'm not one of these guys who can tell you where Robert Paul was born, when and where he lived in Whitechapel off the top of my head. I consider myself more of a hobbyist but I am fairly knowledgeable. Lately though I'm questioning my own motives. What is it about a 140 year old murder that makes us do this? Fascination, recognition, a solution?
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 there's a picture of a "billycock" hat (did I hear that right? I see the pic of the Yankee hat Deerstalker hat is also mentioned with a pic but I already knew of that one thanks to it's improper use in many Sherlock Holmes movies
Hola, eduard, crees que alguna vez se descubrira la verdad absoluta? Estas trabajando arduamente y entiendo que sigues invesrigando y que puedes llegar a obtener alguna prueba importante.
Not sure if it has been asked, but does CA Lechmere have any association to the Jewish community? Was his mother's partners after Cross Jewish. Also they were in the Cat meat business, did the owners they work with be jewish? The message written in chalk seems personal to me, and trying to see if there is a personal angle here and not just an immunity feeling. Also where would the chalk have come from?
I haven't come across any direct Jewish connection, but they lived in the area that was settled by the first wave of Eastern European Jewish migration. These Jewish migrants changed the nature of the area around Berner Street quite quickly in the 1880s.
I think there may have been some significant in the use of Lipski as it was also written on a fence opposite where the Pinchin Street torso was found. I think the goulston street graffiti was probably aimed at Deimschutz, but equally it could be aimed at Schwartz, or both.
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 when you think of it, it appears he committed two murders on the night of the double event, yet was so angry he had to leave a message. Why did he not leave a message on the crimes he committed - only on the people that interrupted him. Seems his acts did not quell his anger. And this event would suggest Jack was not jewish.
if there are anymore swedish speakers here there is a pod called Historiska Brott with an episode being about Jack uppskäraren (the ripper) och Elizabeth Stride. 😊
The "witnesses" don't tally up with each other, so which "witness" do we trust? By the way, not even one "witness" saw Stride actually being murdered. Nobody saw any strangling or throat slashing.

All the descriptions could fit Lechmere - but the descriptions are bland. Stride wasn't injured on her lip, it was some sort of natural thing

I haven't come across any direct Jewish connection, but they lived in the area that was settled by the first wave of Eastern European Jewish migration. These Jewish migrants changed the nature of the area around Berner Street quite quickly in the 1880s.
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 so do you think the writing and the lipski slur to Schwartz are related?
I think there may have been some significant in the use of Lipski as it was also written on a fence opposite where the Pinchin Street torso was found. I think the goulston street graffiti was probably aimed at Deimschutz, but equally it could be aimed at Schwartz, or both.
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 when you think of it, it appears he committed two murders on the night of the double event, yet was so angry he had to leave a message. Why did he not leave a message on the crimes he committed - only on the people that interrupted him. Seems his acts did not quell his anger. And this event would suggest Jack was not jewish.
This is primarily mercantile history, I'm afraid, sir.
Hello Edward, I love this video! I am still working on my song. I may advertise. It's going to be BIG! Cheers!

A number of Swedes are interested in the case, not least my good friend Christer Holmgren.
@@thehouseoflechmere9407 Yes I know! :D
The witnesses are more likely to know what happened your just guessing. Not fact
The "witnesses" don't tally up with each other, so which "witness" do we trust?
By the way, not even one "witness" saw Stride actually being murdered. Nobody saw any strangling or throat slashing.
What? Most witnesses were unreliable for one reason or another.
