obvious or avowed - beyond

knee deep; prostitutes had

much to fear - would take

the lives of the 'canonical 5'.

The victims were alleged

street walkers, but Jack

the Ripper didn't care - he

would commit gruesome

acts - can't describe.

However, I can tell you

this, more than a sharp

instrument was used -

one thing was for sure

it was all clear-cut.

Nothing was superficial

about 'The Whitechapel

Murders' - policemen

conducted a house-to-

house search.

Lists of the usual suspects

were drawn up - many were

interviewed, but Jack was

never caught - was too

nimble, was to quick.

The Ripper murders were

the first to create a world

wide media frenzy - even

made it into the 'Illustrated

Policemen's Gazette.'

Gee, I wonder if old Jack

was the centerfold? He

did make the big time -

now appears in over 200

works of non-fiction.
