6. EVIDENCE ABOUT JACK’S PERSONALITY: (a) THE “DEAR BOSS” LETTER In the last lesson you considered some of the evidence given by eye-witnesses about the appearance of Jack the Ripper. Just as important in helping you to decide which suspect is the most likely killer, however, is evidence about his personality. To do this we need to do more than simply take the evidence at face value. Instead, we have to work things out from the evidence – this is called making deductions. • One major piece of evidence is a gruesome letter sent by the Ripper to the Central News Agency on 25th September 1888. • Your teacher will have a copy of this on OHT and will project it onto the screen. • Your job is to read both pages of it and write it out in your own writing, word for word. If there are any words you find difficult, leave a space for them.
Questions: 1. What is the “red stuff” Jack is referring to? 2. What can we deduce about Jack from this letter?
3. Some historians think that this letter is a fake, written by a journalist. What reasons might a journalist have for forging a letter such as this?

What can we work out about Jack the Ripper from this evidence?
The bodies were not only mutilated, but organs were removed with amazing precision.
After one murder he left a chalk inscription on the wall – “The Jews are men who will not be blamed for nothing” *
All of the murders took place in a very short space of time, and stopped as quickly as they had begun.
All of the murders took place in a very small area of London by someone who obviously knew the area well.
He sent a number of brutal letters to the police which were badly spelt.
The murders got increasingly brutal and ferocious as they went on.
* The Chief of Police ordered that this evidence be scrubbed off the wall as soon as it was found. Why do you think that he took this decision?
