The Ripper In Dartmoor Asylum

Post by Karen Tue 2 Mar 2010 - 8:33

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The London police authorities claim to have the notorious murderer, "Jack the Ripper," in safe custody, confined in the lunatic asylum at Dartmoor, in which he was incarcerated a few weeks after the last Whitechapel murder. If this is true, the cause of the sudden cessation of the East-end horrors is fully explained.

Note: This article contradicts the claim made in the Sun newspaper that Jack the Ripper was incarcerated in the Broadmoor Lunatic Asylum just after the last Ripper murder.
