Title

A Telegraph and Letter from Jack the Ripper

Description

Yet another report on a telegram claiming to be sent by the Ripper. What’s interesting about this report is that it acknowledges that there had been many different letters and ‘practical jokes,’ yet it simultaneously contributes to the spread of fear and sensationalism. The claims the paper makes have no physical proof or basis.

Date

October 8, 1888
