Hasty
Generalization
|
The police
authorities entertained the idea that some sinister connection existed
between the Borough poisoner and the mysterious murderer of Whitechapel,
popularly known as Jack-the-Ripper.
How
the circumstances surrounding them are coincident with the career of Chapman.
|
Cum
Hoc
|
With
this they used the timeline to support this argument here are a few examples;
Jack-The-Ripper: First murder of
the series committed, in August, 1888.
Chapman: Chapman arrived in London some time in
1888; worked and lived in Whitechapel.
Jack-The-Ripper: No Ripper murders
in England, but similar murders in America, in the locality of Jersey City.
Chapman: Chapman and his wife left in May
1890, for America, where Chapman opened a barber’s shop at Jersey City.
This
is clearly a good timeline it shows that Chapman was in the area when these
murders occurred. They have many more examples and it is confirming the
statement.

Wishful
Thinking
|
This
based largely on the opinion of Inspector Frederick Abberline, who was
said to have remarked “You’ve got Jack The Ripper at last!”
Abberline
never wavered in his firm conviction that Chapman and Jack-The-Ripper were
one and the same person.
With the
police backing up these claims you know they are right because they have evidence
that suggests that he was involved.
|
Begging
the Question
|
That
Chapman’s career coincides exactly with the movements and operations of
Jack-The-Ripper must appeal strongly to all who endeavor to throw light upon
the shadows of the latter’s obscurity.
