One, the provenance and authentication of the object are not confirmed.

Two, the scientific methodology as described is not necessarily reliable and accurate

Three, even if it is authentic, reliable, and accurate it doesn't prove anything about the ripper case, just that the mad pole was a client of Eddowes.

That said, it is a stronger circumstantial link than any other before it.
All true, but interesting none the less.

Obviously it is all academic because we know he was framed to cover up the fact that the murders were committed by the Loch Ness monster.

This is not it, but it keeps the hunt interesting.
