Folgendes ist vielleicht in vielerlei Hinsicht interessant! U.a. sieht man hier die City Police bei der Arbeit auf dem Gebiet der MET und dabei auch zwei aus dem Ripper Fall gut bekannte Beamte der City Police, Cox und Sagar, die mit nachfolgenden Sachverhalt zu tun hatten:
http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?id=t18901124-38&div=t18901124-38&terms=Sager#highlightIch fand das vor einer Weile, stellte später jedoch fest, dass dies bereits 2009 ein Thema war, wenn auch ohne großes Aufsehen:
http://forum.casebook.org/showthread.php?t=2463GEORGE JOHNSON, JOHN PHILLIPS, Deception > forgery,
24th November 1890.
JOSEPH TRAGHEIM . “I came from the Baltic provinces—I live at
81, Greenfield Street, Commercial Road—I was formerly in business at Rotterdam…”
ROBERT CHILD (City Detective)
“I was watching Tragheim—between October 1st and 17th I saw Tragheim daily, except on Sundays—I saw three or four other persons of the gang who he spoke to;
he was then sleeping at 81, Greenfield Street—I did not watch him at all, he made appointments and we kept them—
other officers were watching;”
JOHN HARMAN . I am a lithographic printer, of
12, Bacon Street,. Brick Lane
HENRY COX (City Policeman). "On 24th September, in consequence of instructions from Child, I watched in Liverpool Street, and saw the prisoners together—
I followed Johnson and another man
to Bethnal Green, and lost sight of him in Gibraltar Gardens—I saw him again next day in Liverpool Street with someone else,
followed them to Bacon Street, Spitalfields, and lost sight of him—on the 29th I saw Johnson again, and followed him to Mr. Harman's, 12, Bacon Street—I did not wait to see him come out—on September 30th I was watching in Bacon Street, and saw Johnson come there about 1.20; he went into No. 12, and came out about 4.20—
I followed him to Shoreditch Station and lost sight of him—while he was there on the 30th I saw Mr. Harman come out to get some food, he was out twenty' minutes or half an hour—I have seen Johnson, Phillips, and Tragheim in company on other occasions in September and October."
ROBERT SAGER (City Police Inspector). "On 22nd October I was keeping observation on 115, Hayter Road, Forest Gate, and when Phillips left I said, "Mr. Phillips, I am an officer, and these are officers here from the City; I am going to arrest you for forging and uttering letters of credit on Drexel and Morgan, of London and other places"—he said, "I have got no letters of credit; I know nothing about them"—I took him to the station."
Tragheim lebte 81 Greenfield Street, sechs Türen weiter lebte Isaac Abrahams in 74 Greenfield Street und Matilda Lubnowski, gegenüber Isaac in der 16 Greenfield Street. Beides Geschwister von Aaron Kozminski. In October 1890
“other officers (City Police)
were watching” in Greenfield Street.
Cox und Sagar, City CID, waren involviert in diesem Fall und das auf dem Gebiet der MET Polizei. Cox selber verfolgte bis Bethnal Green, Spitalfields, Shoreditch… Bacon Street lag am nördlichen Ende der Brick Lane.
Auffallend ist auch, das die City Police in der Greenfield Street tätig waren, kurz bevor Aaron Kozminski nach Colney Hatch ging. Und das vermutlich kurz nach der ID im Seaside Home. Swanson von der MET Polizei gab ja auch an, dass Kosminski Tag und Nacht von der City Kriminalpolizei observiert wurde.
"other officers (of the City Police) were watching" in October 1890 in Greenfield Street...Obwohl Swanson die City Polizei angab, gab es verständlicherweise Zweifel, ob Cox oder Sagar tatsächlich Kosminski in ihren Beschreibungen meinten:
Cox u.a.:
Certain investigations made by several of our cleverest detectives made it apparent to us that a man living in the East End of London was not unlikely to have been connected with the crimes.
He was never arrested for the reason that not the slightest scrap of evidence could be found to connect him with the crimes.Sagar:
and suspicion fell upon a man, who, without doubt, was the murderer. Identification being impossible
(
certain premises in "Whitechapel" after nightfall/ Macnaghten-
occupied several shops in the east end/ Cox-
he was living in the immediate vicinity of the scenes of the murders/ Anderson)
Offenbar gab es zu dieser Zeit mehrere Beamte in der Greenfield Street von der City Police. Selbst Cox und Sagar spielten dabei eine Rolle. Den Aussagen von Cox und Macnaghten zufolge, hatte der Verdächtige Verbindungen zu verschiedenen Orten im East End. Somit könnte die Ciyt Polizei nicht nur in der Greenfield Street sondern auch im Sion Square (Bruder Woolf Abrahams), auf der Butchers Row (Sagar) und am "eigenen Shop" von Kosminski observiert haben. Letzterer könnte sich in oder nahe Brick Lane befunden haben.
