    because he wanted to incriminate those pesky jews who kept interrupting him that night, who got a good look at him, and were going to be shortly giving his description to the police.

    • Hello Abby,

      I posted this previously in response but I think it might have somehow got lost in the shuffle.

      This statement assumes a couple of things which may or may not be true. First, that Schwartz was telling the truth. And even if he was, there is the possibility that the B.S. man was just some drunk on his way home and not Jack.

      As for Lawende and his friends, it assumes that Jack was aware that he was being looked at so much so that he was able to determine that they were Jewish. If so, it then begs the question of why he would go on to kill Eddowes so soon after being seen.

      c.d.

        Hi CD
        I believe Schwartz was telling the truth and BS man was jack.

        and lawende and company sighting wasn't enough to stop him from killing eddowes-as long as they were all strangers.

        • Strangers or not, they could still identify him could they not as in give the police a description?

              Why couldn't he have done that on his way home? He could have just slung the apron into the doorway of a Jewish dwelling, which would have sufficed as a "plant", surely, without also writing the graffito.

                  Nah! Stride wasn't killed by Jack. Even if she were, it's extremely unlikely that he'd have felt in danger of being recognised by some random Jew who'd wandered past for a few fleeting moments in the dark.

                    Are you suggesting he didn't want the organs?

                    I mean he still has the incriminating evidence of the bloody apron with him even if he unloads the organs at home and heads back out, no?
                    I don't think incriminating evidence was his concern.
                    The knife is always there even after he throws away the apron.
                    One thing about blood is, you can't wipe it off.

                    This is not a case of touching blood then wiping it off.
                    This killer had his hands in contact with blood for several minutes, after several minutes just try to wipe it off, both your hands and a metal object like the knife.
                    Everything is sticky, whatever had blood on it for several minutes remains sticky, so any policeman doing a search will see straight away that this mans hands & his knife are sticky.

                      Maybe. Maybe not. He has his victim right where he wanted her. There brief sighting of a stranger wasn't enough in his mind to deter him from his goal.

                      And perhaps the gsg was his way to get back at them anyway.

                        Not enough in his mind I think. He needed to get the word in there too.

                          I think it was a combination of being pissed off at them and also throwing police off... in the Jews direction.

                            • is it 10 minutes from mitre square to wentworth 108-119??

                              whittington-egan put a crimp in the PC Spicer story, wickerman; honestly, he did seem a bit naivé, and never learned that even reputable men can have disreputable moments. still i get the drift if im to understand that, without knowing his motivation, who knows what the rippers plans for that night were... 2, 3, 4,...

                              PC Spicer did say that he was walking backwards that nite, which is in line with the other reports. would the constable still have been in goulston street if we go with the "jack the ripper ditches the apron" scenario, considering he may have been by that doorway on his walk-arounds at 1:50a?
                              there,s nothing new, only the unexplored

                                No, what I meant was that even if he did throw the apron away after leaving the square, his hands and his knife are incriminating him, sticky fingers, blood in his fingernails and the pores of his skin.
                                At the very least he would be greeted by a firm, "Come with me sir", if stopped.
