What would happen if Jack the Ripper was caught? Say he is caught in the act of killing his 5th victim. What would happen generally, could there be a mob riot something like the Porteous Riot? And what would happen if Jack the Ripper was (as in some theories)
a) A member of the Royal Family, or at least well connected
b) Foreign, possibly Jewish
c) A female

What would be the result of his/ her capture? Would the name still be as notorious as in OTL?
