Did the freemasons kill John F. Kennedy?
No. Although many participants in the events surrounding Kennedy s assassination were freemasons, and a number of accusations have been leveled by popular authors, there is no evidence or proof that freemasons were responsible. (Also see Section VI Subsection 7). [RETURN TO INDEX] 5. Was Jack the Ripper a freemason? No. To date, the perpetrator or perpetrators of the 1888 Whitechapel murders has not been identified. The royal conspiracy theory in which Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward, the Duke of Clarence (known as “Eddy” to his friends) is accused of committing the murders to cover up his alleged marriage to a Catholic shop girl, Annie Crook achieved popularity in 1973 with the broadcast of a BBC programme, Jack the Ripper. It was further enlarged by Stephen Knight (1951/09/26 – 1985/07), in his Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution, (George G. Harrap Co. Ltd., London, 1976) The theory that the murderer was Eddy was first posed by Dr. Thomas Eldon Alexander Stowell (d. 1970/11/08)
