    Thanks Peter.

    So not a crime scene photo, which was my only issue.

      M'William must have arrived late that morning, as the Lloyds reporter says he left the mortuary about 5:20 am, and Phillips had not arrived yet, but was expected.
      The Post-mortem was only conducted at 2:30 that afternoon at which Dr Phillips took part.

        Thanks Wick,

        I meant that McWilliam wasn't at the post mortem yet saw the apron pieces matched up. So the GS piece must have arrived before 2:30 and not as Trevor suggests.

              But he could not have because when the body was stripped the GS piece had not yet been found, and when it was found it was taken to Leman St. We dont have an exact time of the day when Dr Phillips took it to the mortuar but it could not have been before 5.20am because a Star reporter was at the mortuary until that time. So we must assume it was taken to the mortuary prior to the post mortem.

              Where does McWilliam state that ?

                Yes, the body was removed from Mitre Square around 3am by Collard and was in the mortuary with clothes removed by 03:45, according to the time written on Foster's mortuary sketch. McWilliam's report says he was at the detective office at that time, having only just heard of the murder, and went from there to Mitre Square, where Collard was back in charge. From there he went to Golden Lane and saw the apron pieces matched.
                I can't find it, but I'm pretty sure there is a report of Long saying he took the piece of apron he found to the Commercial St station, and from there with the inspector to Leman St - where he handed it to a man he later learned was Dr Phillips - and was back on duty in Goulston St around 5am, seeing the graffito erased around 05:30ish.

                  Now I hate to say this but the translation is almost correct, and I was mistaken, Further research shows the victim in the photo is a 13 year old girl, her body was found outside. The knife shown in the photo is the knife used to cut her throat and to cut open her abdomen.

                  It still doesn't take away the fact that the victims intestines recoiled outwards, and upwards, and moving the body would not result in them recoiling from an open wound, if they already hadn't done so, unless they tipped the body over, or on its side, because they would have covered the body for transportation.

                    The only thing my translation got wonky was her age. I thought the caption said 13½, but that was because of my poor eyesight (I have astigmatism), which sneaked in a phantom "½" symbol, when there was none.

                      Yes, but only by a few inches. Intestines do not "recoil outwards and upwards" to the extent that they shoot back over a person's thorax and land next to their head. They're full of $hit, not Semtex.

                        Well look at the photo, and where the wound must be. If you imagine the wound to eddowes from pubes to sternum, and then the ripping open. it is quite feasible that the intestines could have recoiled further up than those shown in the photo.

                          You're correct in all points. The report by PC Long is in Ch. 9 of the Ultimate P. 190 in my edition. It's the same report I referred to back in post 2068.

                            Sorry, Trevor, but that is physically impossible. With such a lengthy wound, the intestines would more likely "flop" from side to side - they certainly would not shoot out, jack-in-the-box-like, from the abdominal cavity and end up near the head. As Brown says, the intestines "were drawn out... and placed over the right shoulder of the corpse". They'd have to be; they are not coiled springs.

                              Ah, but had Brown seen 'Alien' - that might have changed his report.
