My Precious Research Part 3 - Kitty's Cunning Plan

I will simply not demien myself by replying to my critics who are among the most rejected corners of the entire internet, but over the next few days I will be posting some very detailed explanatons here about my work. This is for two reasons. I love my work, it is endlessly beautiful viewed from all angles and it is very important to me. But mainly because I am recieving a persistent string of abusive and dunderheaded questions about it. I am absolutley sick of reciveing clueless comments about my 'partially broken research' and jealous mutterings about the secrets for which my revelations have been vouchsafed. It doesn't bother me at all, for I am what Dolly Parton once beautifully explained as 'like a butterfly' - a spiritual person flitting from the nectar of research to the stronger cider of intellectual rigour, all in a gentle and lighthearted way. But I WILL NOT PUT UP WITH THIS SABOTAGE. I am a strong woman and unafraid, pretty, with lots of friends who do creative things like act and play instruments, live in London and buy me drinks. I have Christian forgiveness deep in my soul and my lawyers too.

For secret history is exactly that. I realise it is not for evreyone. For it is secret, and let me explain what that means. It means that it is secret or hidden, in construction and meaning. Frequntly there is little evidence but that is what makes it such a satisfying field. Not for me the mindless conformity of wage slavery - no. I have become freer and freer the longer I have researched.

Just be very very careful with evidence, and just as careful not to get carried away by any ideas that are without evidence.

That is my watchword. My research stands or falls by the highest standards. So today I will look at the events leading up to the 'double event' murders of Catharine Eddowes and Elisabeth Stride on the night of Friday/Saturday 29/30 Spetember 1888. All that follows is my own work , in my own words, or words to that effect. I have cleaned it up abit for readability.

The groundwork; There was an informal post office at 21 Cleveland Street. We know this for sure because in 1889 a barrister referred to somebody getting a 'position' at that exact address in 1889, in a trial not directly related to the Rip killings. This is the only mention of 21 Cleveland Street anywhere in British history, which just shows, as everyone knows, what a truly secret operation it was.

Secondly, Catharine Eddowes worked for Special Branch. This is definitely true because she was mysteriously let off a drunken disorderly charge in 1881, an old Special Branch trick. She became one of Chief Inspector Littlechild's best agents over the next seven years, changing her name and developing extremely deep cover as a penniless, hop picking, alcoholic street prostitute, shunned even by her own family (remind you of anyone???), and meanwhile developing strong but entirely peaceful Fenian views. (more tomorrow). She was to become the fourth canonical victim of the Ripper on 29/30 September 1888.

To the murder, then. ;-)

All this is covered on 8 April 2007 but I will remind you allone more time.

Prince Eddy was not in London on the night of the double murders of Elisabeth Stride and Catharine Eddowes. He didn't do it. He gave a letter to Walter Sickert (somehow, from Balmoral, Scoltand) and Sickert then met Eddowes and gave it to her, on Thursday 28 September. I have made this quite clear before.

Kitty Eddowes then went to the Standard newspaper later that day (Thursday) intending to communicate the receipt of that letter to Mary Kelly in the personal column of the Friday paper.

"Regulars used newspaper personals at the back of the daily papers, the Standard in particular, to alert one another to letters waiting for them at e.g. 'Kelly's Library' ". This is why there is only ONE reference to it in the Standard archives.

But she arrived a little too late and so missed the Saturday print of the paper that was issued a few days later, dated Friday 5 October.

This message was trusted to the 'Standard' newspaper on the 28th September, (the Friday before Friday 5th October) by Jack the Ripper victim courier Catharine Eddowes, who signed her name 'Kitty'.

'Kitty' Eddowes had intended Mary Kelly [...] to see the little personal notice later on that week, prior to the day on which it was eventually printed, Friday 5th October. Catharine 'Kitty' missed the 29th September 1888 Saturday print. She left a message at the Standard Newspaper on the afternoon of the 28th, before going to meet a 'middleman' on the night of the 29th/30th, to deliver Prince Eddy's letter.

It was important in those days to hold daily papers back for at least five days. (BTW, Mary Kelly herself was to place an ad in that same paper, on October 2, after it had been printed on the Saturday.)

So, to be clear, on Thursday 28th Eddowes had a letter in her hand, from the Prince Eddy for Mary Kelly. And what did she do with it? No hands up from donkeys, I see. I will tell you. She took that letter from Walter Sickert and took it, about thirty six hours later, straight to a 'middleman'. This saved her the bother and danger of taking it either directly to her OWN LIBRARY or directly to her OWN FRIEND, the intended recipient, Mary Kelly, who lived round the corner from her in Whitechapel. No cowardess, Kitty Eddowes. She put herself to all that trouble, knowing full well that TWO previous delivery girls had by then been sadisticly butchered carrying letters to Mary Kelly from the Prince. (She knew they were not just randon killings by a maniac because she knew all the girls/victims and had chosen them personally to make deliveries as part of the secret network she was masterminding for Prince Eddy on her days off from Fenian spying for Littlechild.)

Now this remarkable woman, Catharine 'Kitty' Eddowes-Kelly-Barrett, did another remarkable thing. As i have explained, once she had the letter she immdeiately went to a London newspaper on that Thursday (I know this) and put in a small ad in a personal column, hoping to catch the Friday edition (holding that letter, suggestibly, to her bosom). I know there were Friday editions because there was one next Friday, the one with my clipping in it dated Oct 5. Dur.

So she put in an ad, from 'Kittie' telling Mary Kelly that there would be a letter for her at Kelly's Library. This much is incontrovertible. She, Eddowes, was then killed on the night of the 29/30 September, faithfully carrying that fateful letter through the night, so that the letter would be there in the library at least by the morning/day of 30 September. That's why she was in the East End all night, pretending very effectively to be drunk. This proves what a genius she was in secret spy work, because when she put the ad in the paper on the Thursday, to tell MK in the Friday edition that the letter would be there in the library - IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE! Because she was only delivering it a day and a half later, on the Friday/Saturday night. Perhaps you can understand the need for urgency and secrecy now.

Now it is clear that Littlechild was waiting for her, disembowelled her personally. He did this because she had betrayed him, after seven years of faithful service. She had become a Fenian as everyone knows. So Littlechild, having discover this somehow, decided to move on Kelly's Library in May 1888 (my date, respect copyright please). SB arrested the shop assistant at 21 Cleveland Street, one Annie Crook. She was then relentlessly tortured for information. This was a master stroke, because a foolish amateur blunderer would have arrested Kitty Eddowes at that point, what with her running the whole Library confederate operation. But Littlechild did not. He held off and wrung information out of an innocent shop girl while allowing the Eddy-Fenian-Mary Kelly-Little Jo(e) plot to develop unmolested, except for the gruesome murder of two of the operation's couriers on August 31 and September 8.Eventually he suddenly lost patience. He snapped and murdered Eddowes personally, on the spot, leaving bits of her all over the East End. This was a wise move because it scared all the Fenians into not doing any more Fenian things and he only had one more murder to do after that, and Mary Kelly, who had not been atall scared by the previous Ripper killings. was not going to be scared off by just two more hideous mutilations. Mary Kelly stood her ground and did not run away, nor did Eddy protect her in the six week before the final Ripper Murder - her own - six weeks later on November 9.

Littlechild did not feel the need to arrest or question Eddowes, he knew it was best just to kill her. After all he had her underling and dogsbody Annie Crook to torture for information and anything Eddowes could have told him about Fenians, Prince Eddy and general high treason in royal circles would not have been worth hearing. She was better off dead, as Littlechild well realised.

So that's it. Catharine Eddowes was a genius at throwing people off the trail. But not me. No blundering donkey zeitgeist can deter me.

NOW tell me all this is not an utter wonder.
