Hi, (My next comment is not meant to offend any member of a Masonic Lodge.) While working at a public library I read a book and watched a video that stated the murders were committed in a ritualistic manner than suggested affiliation with the Masonic Order. (This means certain specific ways of killing which I wouldn't discuss here.) Were the Conders/Konders in England and the U.S. part of the classes who joined the Masons? Where did the idea that a Conder was the "Ripper" originate? Pam
