When I asked you to cite any, you could not do so.
It was Anderson who made an assumption that the murderer was a Polish Jew.
I have never accused Macnaghten of lying about an alleged sighting of Kosminski in Mitre Square, and he seems not to have believed it himself, as he removed mention of it and expressed his inclination to exonerate Kosminski, who obviously did not resemble the suspect seen by Lawende.
If Anderson himself had really believed his story to be true, why did he remove reference to the suspect's incarceration having preceded his identification, and why did he remove mention of the witness learning that the suspect was Jewish?
And why was he silent when challenged by Reid to substantiate his claim that Scotland Yard had narrowed down its pool of suspects to Polish Jews?
