The title of the group refers to the "Camden Town Murder" case of 1907. On 11 September Emily Dimmock, a part-time prostitute cheating on her partner, was murdered in her home at Agar Grove (then St Paul's Road), Camden, having gone there from The Eagle public house, Royal College Street. After sex, the man had slit her throat open while she was asleep, then left in the morning.
The murder became an ongoing source of prurient sensationalism in the press. For several years Sickert had already been painting lugubrious female nudes on beds, and continued to do so, deliberately challenging the conventional approach to life painting ... giving four of them, which included a male figure, the title, The Camden Town Murder, and causing a controversy, which ensured attention for his work ++++ (from wikipedia) The title made me go look - it was odd. And indeed, he appears to have had a knack for marketing. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at June 21, 2021 08:35 AM (Jsjd7) 28

"According to Cornwell's theory Walter Sickert had been made impotent by a series of painful childhood operations for a fistula of the penis.
This impotency had scarred him emotionally and had left him with a pathological hatred of women which, in time, led him to carry out a series of murders in the East End of London which became known as the Jack the Ripper murders." Posted by: ghost of hallelujah at June 21, 2021 08:36 AM (sJHOI) 34

What Shall We Do For The Rent?
You go down to the Camden bus station and look for runaways. Geez, what kind of pimp are you, anyway? That is old and busted. The new way is to establish an NGO partnership with the Fe'ral Government to help integrate refugees and immigrants. That way you get paid twice, regular rent from the taxpayer, and money for the johns who pay for the young children brought in via coyotes. Then you get the respect and admiration of doing a social good, and no one questions what happens to the dead bodies once the product goes beyond its shelf life.

OK, short version:
The "Sickert is the Ripper" theory began sometime in the early 1970s when a man named Joseph Gorman claimed he was the illegitimate son of Walter Sickert and that Sickert was one of a trio - the others being royal physician Sir William Gull and coachman John Netley - who went around the East End murdering the "canonical five" Ripper victims because they were witnesses to the illegitimate marriage of Albert Edward, Duke of Clarence (Edward VII's oldest son) to a commoner named Annie Crook. Since Annie and Eddy's child would be in line for the throne, Annie needed to be disposed of and the witnesses silenced.

The theory was put into print by Steven Knight in his book Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution, and has been the basis of the movies From Hell and Murder by Decree as well as the Michael Caine / Jane Seymour made-for-TV series Jack the Ripper.
But there is no supporting evidence. An "Annie Crook" matching the details has never been found. Eddy cannot be placed in the East End, the stories of a psychic identifying Gull as the Ripper have no foundation in fact and even Gorman himself has changed, elaborated or denied his story over the years. In short, the "Walter Sickert" theory is an outgrowth of Joseph Gorman's fantasies and Patricia Cornwell's theory is as probable as that in the book Jack the Ripper: 'Light-Hearted Friend,' which posits that Lewis Carroll was the Ripper.

She was going to do a DNA test on one of the stamps from the Ripper letters and test it against Sickert's. It was to be the BIG REVEAL at the end. It ended up not matching and was very much like Geraldo's Al Capone's Vault moment. Ex-profiler John Douglas did an interesting examination of the Ripper in his "Cases that Still Haunt Us."

I thought the DNA from the shawl they tested proved it was the Polish guy who did it?
Posted by: JuJuBee at June 21, 2021 09:10 AM (mNhhD) It's much too long to go into, but in short, the shawl - supposed to have belonged to victim Catherine Eddowes - has no verifiable chain of custody. But 'the Polish guy,' Aaron Kosminski (as named by Chief Inspector Donald Swanson and put forward most convincingly by author Paul Begg in his Jack the Ripper: The Uncensored Facts) is the most likely candidate as Saucy Jack, bearing in mind that absolute proof will probably never be found.

That is a great novel, even if the Doyle touch isn't there.

Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars (TM) at June 21, 2021 09:29 AM (lZ0Jc) I've been watching this British show, 'Murder, Mystery and My Family'. They take old murder cases, some over 100 years old, and look at the case to see if there is any evidence for a current judge to rule the verdict 'unsafe'. It's basically a reversal of the death penalty that was carried out. Does nothing for the person who was hanged but it's for the family members. It's fascinating and unbelievable how quickly they hung people. Many with 1 day trial, 15 mins. of deliberation...2 weeks to hanging, or less. And a lot of the defendants had no legal representation.

My dad's biochemistry lab started getting unreliable results across all the different researchers all at once. Went on for awhile as everyone desperately tried to track down the source. The result? The person responsible for washing the flasks had put up a fan to keep cool in summer, and tended to add the soap flakes to the washing water with a bit of a flourish. Fan was blowing the soap flakes onto/into the still-wet but drying glassware to the side of the sink.

The temperature in the server room was rock-solid according to all sensors all the time, the HVAC was fine, etc. No answers. The admin finally decided to go hands-on.

True enough, especially since the PBS series not only adapted the original stories, but went to the extent of having Holmes wear period clothes other than a deerstalker cap. He wears a straw trilby in one episode set in the summertime, I think. Plus they showed him smoking cigarettes as well as the eternal pipe -- which Holmes did in at least the first novel.

UNEXPECTED ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS STORIES:
Heard this one nearly 20 years ago when I was a new-hire... There was a mystery on the F-16 production line when suddenly a length of conduit started getting flagged as out-of-spec by the installer. The usual "call in the engineers" processes were deployed, and they couldn't find anything. The drawings and the spec for this piece of pipe hadn't been changed in decades, but sure enough, the pieces were being cut to design, but were an inch and a half too long to properly fit on the aircraft. Finally, one of the engineers asks the guy how long this had been going on. The guy says, "ever since I started in this job." Turns out -- the previous guy who had been cutting and installing this conduit FOREVER finally retired, and this guy was the replacement. The previous guy simply knew that the spec was wrong, and to cut this piece an inch and a half shorter than the instructions said. Never wrote it down anywhere. Never told anyone.

Finally, one of the engineers asks the guy how long
this had been going on. The guy says, "ever since I started in this job." Turns out -- the previous guy who had been cutting and installing this conduit FOREVER finally retired, and this guy was the replacement. The previous guy simply knew that the spec was wrong, and to cut this piece an inch and a half shorter than the instructions said. Never wrote it down anywhere. Never told anyone. Posted by: Speed Racer's Banana Hammock at June 21, 2021 09:59 AM (5npD/) The classic example from management classes is: One of the car manufacturers had problems with the rear window of a sedan leaking, and on review they found some of the windows did not leak, and indicated an error in installation by the line workers. They researched the vehicle manufacturing information and determined the line that wasn't leaking. They reviewed the procedures and watched the installers there and found one guy not following the procedure for installing the rubber gasket for the window, and asked, why are you not following procedure, and he told them if you follow the procedure the windows will leak.

243 I never much cared for Data playing Holmes in Star Trek: NG, but I did appreciate Dr. Moriarty's character, probably because Daniel Davis is actually a very good actor.
Posted by: Zombie Robbo the Llama Butcher at June 21, 2021 *** The second story with Moriarty was a classic mind-bender -- and, when you think about it, was implicit in the idea of the holodeck from the very beginning. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at June 21, 2021 09:39 AM (/XOcP) This isn't an indication of how good Davis is as an actor - and he's very, very good - but he's not from the UK, as his most famous roles (including Niles the Butler) would have you believe. He's from Arkansas. Posted by: Darrell Harris at June 21, 2021 10:17 AM (mdjgu) 377

This was one of the paintings that Patricia Cornwell used to try to argue that Sickert was Jack the Ripper. Problem was that the viewer's interpretation is shaped by which title Sickert used. "The Camden Town Murderer" suggests the woman is dead and the man killed her. The alternate title shows a wife comforting her husband during a time of trouble. Sickert painted the picture while renting rooms that the landlady was convinced had once been rented by Jack the Ripper, and told Sickert the tale. Cornwell has been roundly abused for her lack of artistic knowledge and her complete lack of logic in trying to frame Sickert as the killer (he was in France with his mother and older brother at the time of the Ripper killings).
