date Whitehall torso was found? confused

[praline]

Hi again I swear I am going to drive you guys insane with questions

At this link (which is the one I am currently reading)

http://www.casebook.org/official_doc...whitehall.html

The date the torso was found isn't very clear to me. I know casebook has the victim date of 3 oct 1888. News articles publish it as 2 oct 1888. I know the date of the inquest is 8oct 1888.

The arm was found after the torso if I am reading correctly but then Moore and Williams both say they found the arm on Sept 11.

If this is correct that would mean the torso was found before Sept 11? Bond testifies the woman had been dead 6-8 weeks. I am trying to establish a VERY general idea of date of death for this poor woman.

Has anyone found out why the discrepancies with the dates or are Moore and Williams both mistaken? Maybe I am understanding it incorrectly?

I messed the link up somehow
I am going to try to do it again but if I mess it up once more I am trying to link the inquest report for the Whitehall case to this post so should be easy to find.

oops nevermind ~ ima dummy
I was misreading it

The arm was found first but the inquest was established due to the torso being found, not the arm. It read kind of funny to me in that right in the middle of the torso testimonies jumped in the arm ones.

You need to sort out your body parts, praline. Glad you have solved the problem.

So hubby keeps telling me

Honestly, I think I tried to take too much in at once. I spent lots of time reading over everything without taking long breaks to contemplate what it was I read in great depth. By the time I posted that I think my eyes were blurred over and I wasn't absorbing to any great measure what it was I was reading

So I am taking a break for a couple days and am going to start again .. slower so as to make sure I don't miss anything or speed read through the important parts.
