WHY NOT? BECAUSE IT IS GENUINE. REMARKABLE AS IT MAY SEEM, HERE IS THE PROOF THAT THE JOURNAL WHICH CAME TO LIGHT IN 1991 WAS INDEED WRITTEN BY JAMES MAYBRICK - THE NOTORIOUS WHITECHAPEL MURDERER.

THIS SAME FACINATING STORY DRAWS IN TOW PEOPLE STILL ALIVE TODAY - ONE ILLEGITIMATELY DESCENDED FROM JAMES MAYBRICK; THE OTHER FROM HIS WIFE, FLORENCE - WHO UNTIL NOW, DESPITE THE POTENTIAL FINACIAL REWARD, HAVE BATTLED TO CONCEAL THE TRUTH AND PROTECT THEIR FAMILIES.
