James Maybrick's Diary

Description
-
The alleged diary of James Maybrick in which he allegedly confesses to the crimes and detailed the killings. This diary, according to a former Liverpool scrap metal merchant Michael Barrett, was found under the floorboards of Maybrick's home and given to him by a friend. The bottom of this page reads. “I give my name that all know of me, so history do tell what love can do to a gentleman born. Yours truly, Jack the Ripper.” Evidence of the legitimacy of this diary are dubious at best, as groundskeeper Michael Barrett later said the diary he found was forged, but retracted his statement a year after- claiming he did not want the media attention.
