I'm not positive it was, but if it was then I doubt it's the clue into his identity some treat it as anyway.What makes you think the Ripper wrote that graffiti?
According to some news articles I've seen cropping up recently, some forensic scientists have suggested that the identity of the Ripper has been revealed to be Aaron Kosminski. If this is true, what could be the possible effects if the police of the time had arrested Kosminski and his trial result in a conviction?
If he's turned out to be Prince Albert Victor... well, he would still be famous until today... In fact, wrong move by British Royal family might end up seeing their popularity down and Britain become a Republic. But even if they managed to cross the minefield, this case will forever left black mark on British Royalty.
Prince Albert Victor wasn't even in England, let alone London, when Stride and Eddowes were killed.
Having an airtight alibi hasn't stopped some people from getting accused. Scottish-Canadian serial killer Thomas Neill Cream is a popular Ripper suspect, even though he was imprisoned in Illinois at the time of the murders.
Speaking of disparate of suspects with a different modus operandi, this dissertation (https://www.casebook.org/dissertations/cable-street-dandy.html) is supposed to support the theory of George Chapman's guilt, despite being a poisoner himself. It seems that, most likely, Saucy Jack was merely a Whitechapel hood with a knife, quite possibly more than one hood. The name or names will probably be lost for all time - but I suppose that's all right, surely we can let History get to keep at least a few of her secrets?Cream was also a poisoner, not a knife nut.
Practical effects: The police, and the methods they used to find 'Jack', would not be discredited in the eyes of the public and the press.
Cultural effects: 'Jack's' image as a mysterious, almost inhuman spectre would not come about in this timeline. I can think of two stories that have either been inspired by or linked to the Whitechapel murders: 'Dracula' (Bram Stoker wrote a preface to the book mentioning the murders), and 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' (which was published before the murders but almost immediately linked to Jack the Ripper in the public imagination). I am not sure exactly whether the books themselves would be changed substantially, but it seems possible that they might not have caught on as much, which in turn has a further effect on later literature and pop culture.
There is also a theory that the graffiti implicated a Mason rather than a Jew
I am like 90% sure it was Francis Tumblety, he fits the profile, lacks any alibi, and vamoosed from England's shores the second Scotland Yard started eyeing him as a major suspect. I also think the "From Hell" letter was his handiwork trying to intimidate Whitechapel locals, as unlike the other famous letters it was not sent directly to the police. I think forensic handwriting/linguistic experts suggested that letter was written by someone of Irish origins, fitting Tumblety's place of birth, and his history of violence and collecting body parts fits the Ripper's modus operandi.Speaking of disparate of suspects with a different modus operandi, this dissertation (https://www.casebook.org/dissertations/cable-street-dandy.html) is supposed to support the theory of George Chapman's guilt, despite being a poisoner himself.
