Part for the powerpoint

Hey,
These are a couple of points that could include on the powerpoint, for the Walter Sickert/Patricia Cornwell slides.

*Cornwell believes that Walter Sickert is Jack the Ripper because of a painting she brought (see post below).

* Sickert did paintings that resembles either the victim e.g. the painting of a woman, it resembles Eddows as the woman in the painting has mutilatiosn to the right side of her face, same as Eddows.

*Cornwell believes that because Sickert had a deformity of the gentials that would make him mutilate women.

*Walter Sickert went by several alias through his acting career: 'Mr Nemo' - (Mr Nobody), An Outsider, An Enthusiast and various initials - W.S, W.St, RS, S etc = this is another reason Cornwell think he was the Ripper beacuse one of the letters wer're addressed Nr Nobody.

*Sickert was dependent on women and loathed them.

*Cornwell just makes assumptions in her book, there are no real facts, to suggest that Sickert was Jack the Ripper. And she just seems to be 'cluthing at straws' to make out that Sickert was the Ripper

What do you have Natalie? Have you read that handout Mark gave us?
How is everyone else getting on with her people?
