Francis Tumblety
Francis Tumblety (c.1833 – 28 May 1903) was an Irish-born American mountebank and medical quack who earned a small fortune posing as an "Indian Herb" doctor throughout the United States and Canada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Metropolitan Police )〕 He was an eccentric self-promoter and was often in trouble with the law. He has been put forward as a suspect in the notorious and still unsolved Jack the Ripper murder spree in Whitechapel, London, in autumn 1888.
==Early life==
According to the 1850 United States census, Tumblety was born in Ireland.〔Willard, Bev; Thurston, Roy (1998) "(Francis Tumblety's Grave )", Casebook: Jack the Ripper, retrieved 3 January 2011〕 His parents, James and Margaret Tumuelty (so spelled on their tombstone),〔 along with his 10 brothers and sisters, emigrated to Rochester, New York, a few years after his birth.〔 By the age of 17 he was selling books, which were possibly pornographic, along the Erie Canal between Rochester and Buffalo. He then found brief employment as a cleaner at the Lispenard Hospital, in Rochester, which had a dubious medical reputation for performing gynaecological operations and "cures" for sexual temptation.〔'Rochester Daily Union & Advertiser', 5 April 1881〕 He left home around 17, and did not return for 10 years.〔Rumbelow, p. 264〕
