WilberforceÑa Sergeant on the
Metropolitan Police Detective Force. But Wilberforce was no common ÒJackÓ (police officer).
Even before working with the famous Chung Ling Soo (The Case Of The Thames Serpent), Wilberforce had Òtasted the chin strapÓ on many tough cases Ðeven a stint in the Army saw him used because of his detective skills.
Here, Ben R. Dilworth, gives us a sneak peek into WilberforceÕs Case Notes for 1896.
ÒA JackÕs lot is not a happy oneÓ and Wilberforce was not just dealing with the ordinary criminals such as the nobblers, rampsmen, smashers, mobsmen, snoozers and skinnersÉ.
...there were the spectres, the satanic followers, vampires and other
monsters Ñthings the ordinary copper never usually encountered and often scoffed at the stories of.
Wilberforce knew better.
