Councidences

[Doctored Whatsit]

Many of us believe that the note means that she didn't actually say "Nothing", but that she didn't say ANYTHING when asked.

But, hey, she was drunk as a skunk*, so it could mean anything...

* How the Hell did that saying originate? Do skunks in particular make a habit of frequenting pubs or crashing frat parties?

Yes, I think that is possible, but the inquest report has PC Robinson saying "When asked her name, she made the reply 'Nothing'". which appears to be his sworn statement. That suggests that she actually told the police that her name was "Nothing", and not that she didn't reply.

Debra Arif unintentionally gave me the idea for this one. Even though we all know that coincidences can occur and that they are often used as fuel for theories, it doesn’t mean that certain coincidences might not have been coincidences in the first place…or they might have been coincidences. So whether they are just coincidences or whether they are coincidences post your ripper-related coincidences and let everyone decide.

From Debra Arif - Fasham Venables, Cutbush's cousin had a wool warehouse at 34 Aldgate High Street. Catherine Eddowes claimed she knew who JTR was and was arrested a few doors away from these premises!.

You say Councidences...

You say Councidences...

You do realise that after reading those three harmless looking words someone will be thinking “mmm, what does Debra know that she isn’t telling?”

Cue the conspiracy theories.

I’ve only just noticed the spelling of the thread title!!

How did I manage that?

If Jon Menges sees this post - Jon, is there any chance of altering the spelling to coincidences please.

Not guilty. I was just trying to drop a hint about your spelling of coincidence as councidence in the title, Herlock.
