Francis Tumblety

Francis J. Tumblety (c. 1830 - May 28, 1903) was an American peddler of patent medicines and flamboyant self-promoter, self-described as an Indian Herb Doctor. Among the various court and criminal records to his credit, Tumblety was arrested in the aftermath of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln as a suspected associate of David Herold and possible conspirator in the Yellow Fever Plot, and was later an apparent suspect in the unsolved Jack the Ripper murders.
