The Life And Crimes Of Francis Tumblety - Jack The Ripper Suspect.

Dr. Francis Tumblety is one of the few Jack the Ripper suspects who was actually arrested in connection with the Whitechapel murders in the autumn of 1888. In this video, which is presented in connection with author and Tumblety expert Michael L. Hawley, we trace his life from his birth in Ireland in 1833, through to his fledgling career as an "Indian herb doctor" - in which pursuit he was extremely successful and, as a result became very wealthy - and on to England where, throughout the 1870s, his name appeared regularly in the newspapers. Having looked at his career in England, we assess his character, taking an in depth look at some of the controversies he was involved in, first in Liverpool and then in Birmingham. The story then follows him into the autumn of 1888, when, at some stage, he managed to get himself arrested on suspicion of complicity in the Jack the Ripper atrocities. Using his own words from various interviews that he gave in the wake of his arrest, we ponder why it was that he was suspected. We then reveal that the police, lacking any concrete evidence to prosecute him for the crimes, opted to charge him with several counts of gross indecency. He was bailed to appear at the Central Criminal Court (the Old Bailey) in December, 1888, but he skipped bail and fled to America, by way of France. Here, his arrest was widely reported in the American newspapers. albeit the British newspapers remained strangely silent about his arrest. Police officers of the NYPD kept him under surveillance during his time in New York, and it was reported that several English detectives had followed him across the Atlantic, supposedly, so the press claimed, in connection with his being Jack the Ripper. We assess the case both for and against him, and reveal how, having faded from memory as a suspect, interest in him was re-ignited when a letter, written by a retired Scotland Yard detective, Chief Inspector John Littlechild, named him as a likely suspect. Having discussed his viability as a suspect, we follow him through his latter years until his death at St John's Hospital St. Louis, in May 1903. The video presents an in depth biography of, and a detailed analysis of one of the most eccentric suspects ever to be linked with the Whitechapel murders.
