What does Mrs Diemschitz tell us occurred, after she first set eyes on the victim?
I screamed out in fright, and the members of the club, hearing my cries, rushed downstairs in a body out into the yard.
What does Lamb tell us about the number of people in the yard, when he arrived?
I should think 20 or 30. Some of that number had followed me in.
So where was Abraham Herschburg, at this point? Well according to this theory he was still upstairs, and would remain so until Lamb blew his whistle. Only then did he come down to see what the matter was. So while all the other members had already gone into the yard, Herschburg remained upstairs, by himself. How bizarre. So how did Herschburg describe this commotion of people, in that small area, when he finally came down?
Two or three people had collected...
What did Lamb say about the proximity of those in the yard to the victim, when he arrived?
There was no one within a yard of it.
What did Lamb say about keeping it that way?
As I was examining the body some crowded round. I begged them to keep back, and told them they might get some of the blood on their clothing, and by that means get themselves into trouble.
What close-up details of the victim, did Herschburg describe?
She had a black dress on, with a bunch of flowers pinned on the breast. In her hand there was a little piece of paper containing five or six cachous.
According to this theory, this was ascertained by Herschburg after Lamb blew his whistle. So under oath, Lamb failed to mention that he had allowed a 17 y/o to poke around the victim, without protest from himself. No doubt his failure to do so, was due to him considering this to be an entirely trivial point.
Your suggestion about the WVC, whilst not impossible, has no basis in evidence. They were only a relatively small band of men and so there’d have been untold streets not patrolled by them.
