There's an interesting sci-fi story "Redchapel" by prolific award winning writer, Michael Resnick in which the fiction (at fictionwise.com) of "Jack the Ripper" is explored. In the story Theodore Roosevelt, then head of the police in New York City (partly true) is asked to investigate the "ripper" story and it's eventually solved. It was done by a mid-wife who has gone bonkers amongst the prostitutes, killing them as she might know how. The story had just came out before the film of Nov. 2001 with Johnny Depp, Heather Graham, Ian Holm, and others, filmed in Prague but set to be about the "ripper" which takes the tact of a cover-up by a royal physician for royal impropriety.
What I can't understand in this is this the New Yard? And is it gone daft? It looks like phrenology and these are the bumps on the head that show a criminal mind and physiology. What a mistake could be done with this it seems to me. I hope it's taken with a grain of aspirin.
Having written and posted that my machine went and rebooted! And Blogger.com was no longer available an engineer is looking at the Error 1-500-3... Weird but true... Newsvine link. "From Hell" is the name of the film.
