Just a quick visit.
As with almost anything out here, we can't flat out dismiss the possibility, but I do see one decent reason to put little stock into the notion that there was another witness who saw Leon Goldstein passing through Berner Street in a northern direction in the last, say, 10 minutes before Stride's body was discovered. And that is what Swanson wrote in his report:
"About 1 a.m. 30th. Leon Goldstein of 22 Christian Street, Commercial Road, called at Leman Street and stated that he was the man that passed down Berner Street with a black bag at that hour, that the bag contained empty cigarette boxes and that he had left a coffe house in Spectale Alley a short time before."
Threre's no mention of Goldstein passing through Berner Street in the direction of Commercial Road "at that hour".
Cheers,
