Which the officer making the list of possessions naturally assumed when he saw what was removed from around her neck. He listed it as a handkerchief, making the reasonable assumption she wore it as found, as a headcovering.
The Times reporter had it right...
"She wore a pair of men's laced-boots; and a piece of old white coarse apron and a piece of riband were tied loosely around the neck."
No-one at the mortuary, or at the crime scene, realized she had been wearing an apron until Dr Phillips showed up at the mortuary with the missing piece to what had already been listed as a "handkerchief, blood stained".
Consequently, this GS piece was added to the bottom of the list.
