Author- Don't go on. Readers are fickle
Jack- fickle, they aren't here, try something spectacular, you are interviewing the most famous criminal in History. I expect you to get the word out about me. Contact the Ripperologists in England. Make up something unbelievable. Say I was King Albert back from the dead.
Author- It will be the Fourth of July soon. Readers are on holiday
Jack- now this is sad, I need an audience
end part 14- see more below
Jack the Ripper- [ a few minutes later] Mr. Pritchard, excuse my anger; I know you are trying. Will you try something for me?It will help I think
Author- what?
Jack- you like the Liverpool group, the Beatles, why not watch " Across the Universe" it's a knock off of the Beatles, but enjoyable and entertaining, watch and get some ideas on how to get out a political message and still be interesting. It might help us get some readers.
Author- OK

Jack the Ripper- hey, I like what I said about jack the Ripper and Hitler in part 11. Being around you has turned me into a philosopher. I just hope I don't quit being a man of action and become a thinker.You know some of my victims were very physical types. Sitting here now I am not sure why I did what I did. Sometimes it seems like a dream.
Author- more like a fantasy?
Jack the Ripper- well yes, I didn't know my victims for the most part but I had met them in my thoughts several times before our meeting.
Author- Did you stalk them before the day you murdered the first four victims, the one's you implied you didn't know?
Jack the Ripper- no, there was no need, I just needed a prostitute and there were many out and about in White Chapel. Money talks, they were always at risk so the commotion over my killing spree didn't deter them.
author - it was that easy
jack the ripper- heavens no, one of the prostitutes had a gun in her purse that she held in her hand when I gave her the money. She had been beaten and robbed before; that's one of those anecdotal stories I promised. I'll look foolish here but I just slithered off. She was just too much of a risk for me to go after.
author- yet most of the victims were over come quickly
Jack- I am very violent and savage
author- did you ever attack a man
jack- not in that fashion, I am interested in women
author- but not young pretty one's, most of you victims were older and unattractive
jack- Mary Kelly was 25, 5"7 blond blue eyes
Author- and you knew her before
Jack did I say that
Author-yes
jack- It's hard for me to think of poor Mary now. I left her such a mess. She lost face and all.
Author- you sound sorry
Jack- you are manipulating my words, i want to stop

Jack the Ripper- Most of my five victims were extroverts [anachronism]
Author- What?
Jack the Ripper- I listened to that "Eleanor Rigby" it's a sad song but lonely people bring on a lot of their own problems. They should get out more, socialize
Author- Maybe some are afraid of the night
Jack- touche
author- I know I can be a little difficult to be around
Jack- Who you, lost in thought, preoccupied, needing large periods of time alone, No! But I like the fact that you are kind to children
Author - Were you
Jack- Yes, I often gave coins to the destitute children in White Chapel. I use to worry over their fate.
Author-Did you visit the graves of your victims to reenact, or keep souvenirs
Jack the Ripper- I think that profiling by modern detectives is a pile of crap. Back fit explanations by some one trying to look intelligent and see the future and make a good living guessing. According to the pro-filers all us serial killers set fires, we all had a bad childhood. No, I didn't visit the graves, why would I want to do that. My crimes were sexual in nature. I did not want to attract undue attention. I was careful, I planned, I relied on luck but if my luck failed I expected to face severe consequences.
Author- What do you mean
Jack- Don't get arrested in London in 1888 if you have made the police look foolish
Author- I am impressed with the London police. There showed a lot of restraint by not arresting someone based on flimsy evidence
Jack the Ripper- Yes, true, and they let the real killer go
Author -Reiterate
Jack- Not yet, you have not figured out who I was, I don't want to spoil your sport. Try this: concentrate on the first and last murders
Author- so there were only five murders
Jack- I really can't remember

Jack the ripper- you don't seem to be afraid of me
Author I understand you are a part of myself. You allow us to think about murder intellectually.
Jack- you haven't wanted to kill?
Author, but conscience controls; and lack of passion maybe
Jack- well I suppose you are better studying me than Adolph Hitler, like you were doing recently. but, I wonder, do you suppose Hitler killed men one on one with a bayonet in World War One? I hear he turned his head when animals were hurt, couldn't bear to watch, but watched the men who tried to blow him up in his bunker as they were slowly hung over and over as they suffered.
Author-I guess you might be right about profiling. Hitler loved his Mother and enjoyed opera. Did you read what I wrote in this blog about Hitler and Wittgenstein? How do you suppose Hitler miraculously survived so many near fatalities in World War 1. God had a hundred chances to erase him.
Jack the ripper- just luck, like me he is the "tail" in probability, the one in a million that everyone knows about. Logically there should be worse monsters in the future than Hitler, who managed killing in large numbers and made killing banal, and me who killed in small numbers and made killing horrific.

Jack the Ripper- [tentatively] Mr. Pritchard, are you alright?
Author- [Sadly ] I was reflecting on the humanity of the five women that Jack the Ripper actually murdered. I was thinking of the Beatles song, "Eleanor Rigby". There is a civilized sorrow displayed by British civilization that is a bellwether for the world's societies.
Jack- [ after a few seconds] sorry to put you through this
Author - how was the City
jack- what City ? [jauntily] [looking around the small house] I see the housekeeper is still on strike
author- I was reading that you were an Artist
Jack- you mean James Whistler's assistant Walter Sickert? He's not me, but maybe he did nail it when he painted " Jack the Ripper's Bedroom" or do you prefer " How shall we pay the rent"
Author- you are not Sickert, you are not Tumblety the American Doctor, you are not Kosminski, who were you?
Jack the ripper none of them, although wasn't Tumblety really Canadian? Let's focus on what I was
Author- first, how was it that you could come and go about White chapel unobserved
Jack the ripper- I couldn't , as a man of some financial means who had business in White Chapel, I did what was customary and paid protection money to a few of the local gangs. No one reports another to the police under those circumstances, I won't detail the particulars but I was able to come and go for most of the time until after the fourth murder. After that I had to be more clever to survive.
Author-did you wish to be caught
Jack- not during the activities, maybe later upon reflection

edward w pritchard
Author Shall we start?
Jack the Ripper- I am impressed. You have been busy
Author- What do you mean
Jack-Ten hours of research by you since our last talk. The casebook, Ripperologist, and all those books of ridiculous theories that I never got a cent from. Books, book books. Ne're a fact in sight. Each author making a theory of who I was and then bending the facts and evidence to suit their purposes. But- I am glad to see you doing your homework. It makes me want to help you.
Author- why do you think you have generated so much media interest
Jack- Well the 1988 centennial of my activities made a lot of people a lot of money. Then there is the shock value of my crimes, but, also I think I am a lot less creepy than the American serial killers of the last thirty years. In 1888 some people just called me a sad killer of women. But as for your interest, evidenced here in my crimes, I think, that I make people think logically who don't ordinarily do so. Like you. You have spent several days weighing the evidence of what I did to the five women, and why, and who I might be.
Author - So you consider yourself a serial killer.
Jack- well, maybe I was a serial killer, but all the theories you have in America and all the forensic study on television, it confuses me. Maybe you can explain my motivation in the movie about me you want to write
author- How do you know about that
Jack the ripper- I know what you know, now ask the right questions so you can understand me
author- why did you stop?
Jack-didn't I answer that, o very well, I needed to get back to work, back to my real life for a while, we can't stay on vacation forever
author- if one decides to stop killing then they are expressing "free will". Can a serial killer have free will?
Jack the ripper- you don't seem to realize that I was not mentally ill, just very violent and perverse. Of course I could stop, But I had to remove myself from the opportunity to prey on prostitutes. I'll tell you when I returned to my real life there were no prostitutes around there.
Author- Were you satiated after the gruesomeness of the Mary Jane Kelly incident
Jack- remember it's not necessarily gruesome to me. It was a mess though. I took my times, there was no rush on that one.
Author so were you finished then
Jack- no, I wasn't necessarily finished then, but why don't you ask me some gory details of the Mary Jane Kelly brutal murder for your readers

Author-Let's come back to that question about your feelings toward your victims again later. Instead, why did you write the letter to George Akin Lusk head of the vigilantes committee with a kidney of one of your victim Catherine Eddowes attached?
Jack the Ripper- I am sorry Mr. Pritchard. Some of us have to promote ourselves. However, if that letter to Lusk was authentic, from me, I promised that theatrical flesh eating routine to shock the good people of London and it worked. That's why I am still infamous today. I spell a few words wrong and I am labeled a stupid local and the police stop looking for a Doctor and look for me to live there in White Chapel.
author You didn't live there?
Jack- I told you I went there for my vacation. To meet some new women and practice my specialty.
Author Had you went to other places to have a similar vacation?
Jack- No place is like London. Besides, I knew someone in White Chapel. One of my victims actually.
Author- the last One
jack Yes yes, the pretty one they call her. I went to her place and well things got out of hand. I left a mess.

Author -so what of your childhood
Jack-I seem to remember only being an adolescent, and a rebellious one, although I had much potential
Author back to the White Chapel Women, Did you know them
Jack -Only in a general sense, like I know you Mr. Pritchard
Author What do you mean
Jack- finally yes yes pin me down, I enjoy the sport
Author Answer the question please
Jack Well I know of most people, their natures are familiar to me, Sometimes they are like me sometimes not; but always when they are at their worse I feel I know them
Author- Are you the Devil?
Jack- Oh, I am sure your readers are so surprised! It's so convenient, only a monster or the Devil could hack up and scatter parts of five women about. Meanwhile since 1888 more than 100 million people have been killed in wars and worked to death and a thousand other atrocities. Please Mr. Pritchard let's get back to the questions.
Author Do you believe in luck? were you lucky not to be caught in your work?
Jack Another good question. Luck, well I planned carefully, I tried to fit in and look like everyone else even if I was walking the streets of London at four AM blood stained. But I guess luck was with me there in white Chapel. I could tell a few funny anecdotal stories about my adventures but I don't want you scowling at me Mr. Pritchard. You can be quite judgmental.
