The relevant information pertaining to the apron and the blood can be found in the Times, Friday the 12:th of October 1888:
By Mr. Crawford. - He had not noticed the wall before. He noticed the piece of apron first, and then the words on the wall. One corner of the apron was wet with blood.
So here it is in black and white. The apron corner was wet with blood.
The official report, written by Long himself and filed on November 6 1888, reads:
I found a portion of an apron covered in blood lying in the passage …
Here, it is not mentioned where the apron was covered in blood, but we know it from the inquest: it was one of the corners of the apron that was. The expression ”covered in blood” goes to show us that it was not just a small amount of wet blood on the rag – it was a significant measure of it.
Once it has been established that the apron corner was covered in wet blood, we must ask ourselves who that blood came from, seventy minutes plus after the Eddowes slaying. And we need to ask ourselves why that wet blood was present in the corner of the apron only.
All the best,
Fisherman
