The GSG - Did Jack write it? POLL

[Sam Flynn]

If Eddowes' killer wasn't the same as Stride's, it's by no means certain that he'd have known much about the Berner Street murder.

So Michael, are you suggesting that Eddows killer used the piece of apron to draw attention to the GSG yes/no ?

Since it was found in the East End near 3am, he could have easily caught wind of something that happened before 1am on Berner Street Sam. All he had to know is that the Jews claimed "another murder" was committed earlier that night, before a second murder had occurred that night,...making the inclusion of "another" a suggestion that the anarchist Jews were evading blame for the act, and instead blaming a killer at large prior to that night,... one who oddly doesn't just cut women once, making the "another" either just wild speculation or intentional misdirection.

No, Im suggesting the author used the apron section to declare himself the Mitre Square killer, and the GSG content thus differentiating himself from the Berner Street murderer(s).

Instead of the somewhat vague and convoluted text of the GSG, why not just write "Berner Street wasn't me", or something equally pithy and direct?

Ok lets put it another way , did Eddows killer write the GSG ? in your opinion.

Do you think the rag and GSG was dropped in Goulston Street just before Long found it, or was it there earlier but not seen?
Because, not many people knew there had been a murder in Berner Street when Eddowes was being murdered.
But, the killer could have come back out on the streets to write the message once he had discovered the Berner Street murder.

What reason did Eddowes killer have for leaving the apron at Goulston st ? . Was it to carry the organs away in it ? [what then did he carry the organs in from there ?] or when he finished wiping his hands all the way from mitre square and decided to dispose it there and then,when he could have wiped them clean also at mitre square .

[FISHY1118]

Therefor its just possible he left the apron to deliberately draw attention to the GSG,otherwise how else would people know it was written by the killer .

I believe Long's "it was not there" is abundantly clear on that point Jon. Direct question, direct answer. I think it (they) was (were) placed there between 2:20 and 10 to 3. I think he may have dropped off the apron sections contents first, not too far from Gouslton.

Yes, IMHO.

People spoke differently then Sam, and some still use double negatives to make a positive point at times.

I'm not concerned about the double negative. Why "The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing", and not something like "I didn't do Berner Street"?

please feel free to give me some kind of scenario as to the how and why the killer did this I think he may have dropped off the apron sections contents first, not too far from Gouslton.[/QUOTE]

Going with this scenario, it occurred to me that Stride`s killer may not have even know it was Berner Street. It may have just have been the Jewish club south of Commercial Road to him.
