The original idea for William Gull doing the Jack the Ripper murders was actually from a book...
Jack the Ripper : The Final Solution by Stephen Knight
In it he describes how the royal family hired 3 men to kill the witnesses to the wedding... Sir William Gull, Sir Montegue Druit and Sir Walter Sickett
All 3 were freemasons and the other 2 names have come up on more than 1 occasion
He wrote a second book on the freemasons entitled...
The brotherhood
However he hardly saw any of the royalties as he died in suspicious circumstances a couple of months after being published
