[The Rookie Detective]

Look what I found...



I've NOT added any lines that weren't already there, i have just highlighted the ones that are.



It's clearly a horse


And a CLUE.


Forget misspelling or handwriting style, or choice of language or dialect etc...

It's all jst a big ditraction to make us avoid the obvious



The killer drew a HORSE for us

[Abby Normal]

So...


I discovered...


The author of the From Hell Letter


Didn't leave any written clues


BUT did DRAW a large HORSE in the center of the page.



Look at the letter



The legs are made up of the long vertical strokes of the ink

The neck is also made up of similar vertical lines


The eyes are formed from the word 'tOOk'

and the mane & nose made up from the blood spatters.

Even the tail is clear to see, the loop shape slightly to the right of the word 'bloody'



The author wasn't given us a written clue, he was using a drawing


A clue that he had a connection with horses


Nichols was slaughtered like an animal yards away from the Winthrop Street slaughterhouse


An appropriate choice of location perhaps


incidentally,

Lechmere's mother worked as a Horse Flesh Dealer in 1891


And therefore may have done so in 1888



Could Lechmere have staged the whole 'being found' by Paul and chose not to flee as part of his plan?



Just a thought



Thoughts please


And check out the HORSE



Once you see it, you see it

you actually posted this on two seperate threads? i sense your days are numbered here again pierre. have fun while it lasts

Was it common knowledge that a kidney was missing at the time Lusk got his letter? I believe that kidney also had brights disease. Lusk letter more probable than not i fink.

[DJA]

Maybea,San Fran,Bueno ........ plus at least two more that escape me right now.

The joy of old threads.

The issue, as transpired, was he was on a boat to India.

My apologies for my rather long absence from this particular thread; i have an issue with my data and have been eagerly trying to resolve this problem BEFORE submitting my findings. To date, i have been unsuccessful in corroborating 1 particular key fact which is negating my other findings quite considerably. As things stand it would be inappropriate for me to speculate on something which i am keen to seek evidence for.

I'll be back

Regards

Watkins began his night at 10:00pm, so if it took him lets say 14 minutes per pass, the maximum time he estimated per pass, (assuming he didn't stop and chat anywhere, or get a tea),... then he would have last been in the square at 1:24. He said it was 1:30am. That 1:24 time would be 13 passes of 14 minutes each.

For me I doubt each pass was exactly uniform in time and I doubt he hadn't stopped somewhere during those 3 1/2 hours from his start time.

[DJA]

Edward Watkin (sic) at the Inquest ..... "That beat takes twelve or fourteen minutes."

[Michael W Richards]

The presumption that Kates killer would have known the beats in Mitre Square on that night is unlikely, those beats changed and the right-hand/left-hand designations would be provided on the night of the shift. If he watched the area for a while that might help that case, but then he would have been noticed by someone one would think. If he kills Kate after Watkins pass around 1:20ish,and he has until 1:43ish to do his nasties, its not a problem reconciling the amount of cutting work and time available. DJA suggested that the Goulston GSG and the apron section were placed to misdirect, or as "decoy", I think its more likely that they were placed precisely where they were to assign the the "blame" that the GSG says was lacking. At a development populated almost exclusively by Immigrant Jews.
