I believe the origin of this particular conspiracy theory is rooted in the idea that Jack the Ripper was either the Duke of Clarence or his physician. I believe this theory was first put forth in the 1960s. Conspiracist Stephen Knight, an anti-Mason, built on that theory by claiming that there had been a Masonic cover-up to protect the identity of the murderer, and the claim that the Duke had fathered an illegitimate child by a Catholic prostitute. This was the conspiracy detailed in his 1976 book, titled "Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution." That book was the basis for the 1979 movie, "Murder by Decree," which employed Sherlock Holmes as the freelance investigator. For fans of Sherlock Holmes, this was too big a stretch, as it can be demonstrated that Holmes himself was a Freemason.David Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673241422745751614noreply@blogger.com
