Wednesday, the 15th of August, 1888. Whitechapel, England. Herman Mudgett had business in London, but for the trip, he called himself Dr. Harold Pratt. He brought skeletons from Chicago to sell to the Medical School at the London Hospital. While there, he confirmed that an old friend, Major Roslyn D'Onston Stephenson, a practitioner of black magic, was checked in to the Currie Ward. He’d hoped old "Sudden Death" Stephenson could help him with his "shadow".
