The GSG - Did Jack write it? POLL

All those little bits and pieces Eddowes had in her possession.How did she carry them? Too much to be carried in the hands,and the apron didn't appear to have pockets.Two pockets were mentioned though,but not claimed to hold anything.Perhaps the apron piece found by long acted as a holdall?

THE APRON PIECE WAS IN HER POSSESSIONS! SO WERE THE NEEDLES AND THIMBLE...…..she loved mending clothing.
Why would she be wearing an apron at that time?

[Leanne]

….probably to sell at the old clothing fair at Petticoat Lane

Point out the apron she was wearing:

If the apron in her possessions was in one piece, and Jack needed it to wipe his knife and hands, why didn't he just grab and take off with the whole apron?

Hi Leanne,

It's an unwritten rule of Ripperology that you must never ask sensible questions.

Regards,

The mortuary apron-piece was cut into two, Trevor. It also had bloodstains, as Dr Brown mentions;

Morning Advertiser 5 Oct
"Was your attention called to this portion of an apron which was found upon the woman?-It was. There were stains of blood upon the apron.
Are the stains of recent origin?-They are"

Thats not recorded anywhere in the official testimony so it is unsafe to rely on.

bearing in mind at the mortuary when the body was stripped and they were taking note of all the cuts to her clothing and the bloodstains why did they not make mention of the apron being cut or blood stained if she was supposed to be wearing an apron. Theyt didn so what does that tell us ?

IF SHE WAS USING A PIECE OF APRON AS A SANITARY NAPKIN, WHY DIDN'T SHE JUST USE THE WHOLE APRON, FOLDED?
Why did she put it back in her pocket after she used it, and replace it with one of the 12 pieces of rag?

A whole apron would be to big for that purpose. The 12 pieces of neatly folded rag were probably better quality material which she probably intended to try to sell by how they were folded. Too many to suggest she could have used one of those when she had two pieces of old white apron

If the apron piece was her santitary napkin, why did just throw it in someone elses doorway?

then if found you might have again asked that same question, if it was soiled perhaps she went under the archway to go to the toilet, perahps she didnt need to wear one anymore who knows? but one thing for sure is that it was discarded.

In that place and time, poor people without a permanent room had to carry their possessions around with them. That's why she carried around her pieces of rag, needles pins, thimble, tea and coffee etc and a pawn ticket was as good as money. What she wore was likely all the clothes she owned.

Does it matter though spots, stains, smears?

www.trevormarriott.co.uk

It does matter if your assertion is that the apron had been used as a sanitary towel, even the most heavy period would not soak a rag in the way Long described. If we accept that the apron was transported from the murder site, it matters less.

If someone is reading from a different list of her clothing and possessions PLEASE LINK IT TO ME!
I can't find a detailed account of her inquest in any other newspaper, because the press were warned not to report about the graffito for fear of riots!!!!!!!!

Daily Telegraph of 12 October has a good account.
