Arrested for Jack Ripper crimes & for Lincoln assasination.

Only one man was ever arrested for the Jack the Ripper murders. Earlier in life, he had also been arrested for the assassination of President Lincoln. Dr. Francis Tumblety.

John Wilkes Booth was a famous and wealthy stage actor with a wide circle of high class associates and friends. Among them a medical medicine inventor Dr. Tumblety. Most of the those arrested were soon released and not charged as there was nothing linking them to the crime.

Dr. Tumblety moved all around America, some say whenever the police became suspicious of the medical "cures" he was selling. He was single and often in the company of ladies of questionable repute. One day after the dinner he was giving, he took led males from the after dinner smoking party to a closet which contained a dozen or more glass jars filled with formaldehyde. In each was a female uterus. Not too outrageous of a display for a medical man, but increased his reputation for being strange.

Always wanting to be ahead of the law investigating his "medicines", he sailed for England. After the famous Ripper murders, there were hundreds of policemen tracking down all leads, no matter how weak. The Ripper villain had removed and took with him the uterus of all the victims, except when there was no time to do. This made Dr. Tumblety a (weak) suspect. The police were afraid he would sail back to America, and so they arrested him. There was no evidence to link him to the crime, and he was soon released. He remains the only person ever arrested for the Jack the Ripper murders.
