The Rise and Fall of Jack the Ripper

Despite his lack of a formal education, Jack was soon establishing his name. And the first step to this was when he brought a bomb to court. In 1938, Jack was called to testify at the trial of Captain Earl Kinette in Los Angeles. His testimony involved him creating a perfect replica of the car bomb and conducting an explosion. It played a major factor in Kinette's conviction. At around the same time as the Kinette trial, Jack's other childhood fascination was reawakened: Alistair Crowley. He was born in Lemington Spa, one of Britain's more depressing towns. But I didn't know that you also had a claim to fame about it.
