  • Why anybody accepts the official line is one of the enduring myths of ripperology .
    I'm sure we're bright enough to spot bull**it aren't we ?
    Because the alternative, that Warren saw some hidden meaning in the graffito, is too preposterous to be given the time of day.

        Why do you say that it seemed to have been recently written? - It looked fresh, and if it had been done long before it would have been rubbed out by the people passing. I did not notice whether there was any powdered chalk on the ground, though I did look about to see if a knife could be found

          How did you get onto hidden meanings?
          I was talking about Warren pretending it was on the jamb when I mentioned 'official line' ......

          • If the GSG was as small as PC Halse described, how would it have caused a riot against the Jews?
            Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

              Well, it was evidently legible, for those bothered to read it. Letters of an inch or three-quarters high are perfectly readable.

                If a bobby stood in front of it how many antisemitic , riot hungry residents of Wentworth model dwellings were likely to push him out of the way so that they could attempt to decipher it ?

                • And let's not forget that the Goulston Street entrancways were set about three feet back from the main pavement/sidewalk.

                    I’m unaware of any alternative reason that has been suggested as to why Warren agreed to the graffito being erased other than that he saw some hidden meaning in it.

                    • Warren could have ordered the GSG preserved in aspic, and 131 years later people would still be arguing over its meaning.

                      The GSG has no meaning, except that which we have attributed to it.

                      The GSG was a clever piece of misdirection, employed to lend weight to PC Long's harmonious discovery of the apron piece.

                        Exactly, he didn't say he looked specifically for chalk dust. If he had looked he could say there was none, or there was some.
                        So it is incorrect to keep saying he looked, he didn't. He was looking for obvious clues like a weapon or spots of blood.

                          If the shadowed area represents where the graffito would have been written, and the jamb is located same as, and is as wide as, the jamb above it (balcony), then I would conclude that Warren was correct it could be seen by any passerby. Too bad the first floor jamb width and location isn't obvious like the second floor.

                            By "first floor", I presume you mean "ground floor" (in Brit-speak).

                              What leads you to believe that Simon?

                              • Hi Herlock,

                                PC Long found the apron piece before anyone knew it was missing.

                                I went on from there.

                                Regards,

                                Simon
