Chief Inspector Smith worked in the City of London Police in 1888. On 30 September, his police force was investigating Jack the Ripper's murder of Catherine Eddowes. He had hoped to find a clue in the Goulsten Street message but "Sir Charles Warren" of the Metropolitan Police Service had jurisdiction and ordered it removed. Smith doubted Warren's assertion that the reference to "Ju'wes" was to induce a riot against Jews and accused Warren of protecting his Freemason friends. (COMIC: Ripper's Curse)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

The real-world investigation involved Sir Henry Smith, Acting Commissioner of the City of London Police at the time. However, his rank does not match that of "Chief Inspector Smith".
