But even by accepting that drawing it does not show that the two pieces of apron both had strings attached as Herlock suggests, the evidence states "a string attached" had it been cut in the way suggested in the drawing I would have expected it to have been described as "With the strings still attached" after all the list made at the mortuary was in great detailin every sense, and why would the killer be so precise in cutting the apron at that precise part of the apron when his knife entered the abdomen midline and was drawn downwards, and therefore if she was wearing an apron it would have almost cut it in halfand we would have two halves and two strings attachedwhich would have been decsribed accordingly.
And if the cutting of the apron at the crime scene as is suggested I have to ask how the piece of apron found its way into her possessions, after all she had her possessions contained in two tick bags and after all a detailed list of her clothing and her possessions was made, and if the killer had cut the apron as suggested I would have expected the list to show the remaining piece of her apron among the list of her clothing because it would have been easily visible and would have been described as one old white apron with piece missing and bearing in mind how the abdomen was stabbed through her outer clothing, if she was wearing an apron, why do we not see any evidence of cuts to either pieces of the apron consistent with the outer clothing being stabbed and cut through as decsribed in other clothing from the mortuary clothing list?
The sizes of this apron pieces have never been fully established but they are mainly referred to as portions or pieces. So that might suggest that they were not of significant sizes to make up a full apron, and there is not one scrap of evidence to show that the two piecs when matched made up a full apron, if that had have been the case I would have expected Brown to say that when he matched the two pieces he would have said that "When matched they made up a full apron" but nothing of that is mentioned by anyone past or present,
Several different newspaper report have been referred to which are in direct conflcit with the signed inquest depositions by witnesses one such conflict is set out below and goes to show how unsafe newaspaper reports are,
Dr Brown as quoted in The Telegraph Inquest report:
“Coroner: Was your attention called to the portion of the apron that was found in Goulston- street?
“Dr Brown: Yes I fitted that portion which was spotted with blood to the remaining portion, which was still attached by the strings to the body.”
Note he refers to strings suggesting that the apron was still fixed to the body. This press report is incorrect and misleading. As has been previously stated the body arrived at the mortuary at 3.15 am and was then stripped. The Goulston Street apron piece was at that time in the hands of Dr Phillips who was at Leman Street Police Station and after receiving it, later on, took it to the mortuary for it to be matched with the mortuary piece, but he did not arrive at the mortuary till after 5.20 am so Dr. Brown could not have fitted the Goulston Street piece at the mortuary while the mortuary piece was still affixed to the body.
