The GSG - Did Jack write it? POLL

[Wickerman]

Quite sure Leanne found that list here on Casebook.

And that's the result when you rely on someone else's research, or lack thereof.

this pic I would suggest is not accurate if you review the description of the clothing and the cuts to the clothing

This pic shows what appears to be the clothing cut and parted to reveal the abdomen. He abdomen was not ripped open to the extent it is shown in the pic

The providence of that "pic" is impeccable.

I am not speculating I am assessing and evaluating the facts and what the evidence points to.

No one saw her wearing any apron or apron piece whilst the body was in Mitre square so please do not mislead

Just because she was perhaps seen wearing an apron earlier in the day that doesnt mean to say she was wearing an apron when she was murdered

And Leanne would be far better listening to me than you, and others who continue to present misleading facts

PC Hutt noted that Eddowes was wearing her apron at 1.00 am when released.

Meh,so you prefer Evans and Skinner.

Cheers Dave. Haven't got my books handy at present so that's handy.

Just wondering if they had John Kelly confirm her belongings and clothing, to see if anything was missing?
If not, as well as the apron piece, the killer might easily have taken her draws, or picked a pocket or two, to carry away organs, or for his own purposes.

Hi Buddy.

John Kelly turned up due to the two pawn tickets in the tin. Doubt anything was missing,except half an apron

For mine,Eddowes would have been with Stride and BS man for a blackmail payout,except she got drunk with a small prepayment.Her health was not good and she would be feeling the effects of the return journey from hopping.
After being released as Mary Ann Kelly,the next victims real name,she headed for Henry .... um,Jack's London residence when away from Sevenoaks.
She had no idea Stride was dead.
Jack has immobilised Eddowes,quite possibly by strangling her, and taken her out the back of 6 Mitre Street until the first policeman has been through.
Eddowes kidney and adrenal gland would have been of interest to him,if she and Nichols were his inpatients with rheumatic fever in 1867/8.Ditto the intestines.
He has taken the body parts upstairs and put then in ethanol.
When the coast was clear he headed for Goulston Street with the red herring. Ironically William Gull had delivered the Lectures in 1848.
Have a good look at the uncanny timing.

Jesus H Chri......
It was HIM who threw her clothing upside down, when she was originally laid down her clothing was in order, her coat no doubt open, exposing the apron. He lifted it up and sliced off a large piece, then set about pulling up her clothing out of the way.

Then why is there is blood on the Gs piece, and there is no blood on the mortuary piece?

It only stands to reason to me that he cut a section off before he mutilated her, which might suggest he thought ahead, he wanted something to drop the organs in as he cut them out. Then folded up the rag, with organs inside, and took off...

and why would he bother to cut or tear a piece at that early stage. If organ taking was the motive then he would have gone prepared with something to take them away with. A ridiculous suggestion you make to prop up the old accepted theory.

How many times are you going to be told that the description of the apron piece is not consistent with carrying away a kidney and a uterus taken from a freshly killed victim.

PC Hutt noted that Eddowes was wearing her apron at 1.00 am when released.

and his memory suddenly reappeared days after the event when he gave his inquest testimony. What would have made him take note of Eddowes wearing an apron when she left the police station and how could he remember if she was or wasn't days later.

The fact is that the police were naive enough to readily accept without question that the killer cut a piece of her apron and so they all went along with the corroboration except Sgt Byfield who was the station Sgt responsible for processing her after her arrest, and questioning her and then later releasing her. He makes no mention of seeing her wearing a statement, and I would have thought if anyone was relaible he would have been. So its not as conclusive as you make out.

It is not impeccable !
The drawing by Foster was not made by him while the body was in situ. He never attended the crime scene. It seems that he made the drawing from Dr Browns notes or perhaps a sketch made by Brown, although Brown makes no mention of making a sketch otherwise he would have produced it as evidence.

As can be see the sketch is not in line with the verbal evidence

The why is there is blood on the Gs piece and there is no blood on the mortuary piece?

Her intestines were thrown over the shoulder which could be the reason for blood spots on the mortuary piece.

.......and why would he bother to cut or tear a piece at that early stage. If organ taking was the motive then he would have gone prepared with something to take them away with. A ridiculous suggestion you make to prop up the old accepted theory.

Why would he come prepared with Eddowes, she appears to have been an after thought. Do you think he planned to have two victims that night?

How many times are you going to be told that the description of the apron piece is not consistent with carrying away a kidney and a uterus taken from a freshly killed victim.

You have no idea of the extent of blood stains on the G.S. piece for you to draw such a conclusion.

[Leanne]

She was, because she's explicitly described as having one tied around her neck.

WHERE? -

1 piece of red gauze silk worn as a neckerchief

There's also this report (is this the one you were thinking of Simon?) from the Evening News 11 Oct.

"A great deal of fresh evidence will be given to the adjourned inquest, which will be held to-day, at the City Coroner's Court, Golden-lane, upon the body of the Mitre-square victim. Since the adjournment, Shelton, the Coroner's officer, has, with the assistance of the City Police authorities, discovered several new witnesses, including the daughter of the deceased, who was found to be occupying a respectable situation as a domestic in the neighbourhood of Kennington. She states that they saw the deceased standing at the corner of Duke-street, Aldgate, a few minutes' walk from Mitre-square. This was as near as they can recollect about half-post one o'clock, and she was then alone. They recognized her on account of the white apron she was wearing."

Seems to say that it was Kate's daughter that saw her, which is a bit of a coincidence....
I don't recall that ever coming out at the inquest.

Sounds more like a garbled version of Lawende's sighting.

There was no blood on the mortuary piece

well if he only planned for one he would have still gone prepared and after the first failed he would still have what bet set out with to carry organs away



You have no idea of the extent of blood stains on the G.S. piece for you to draw such a conclusion.

how many times have I posted photos to prove that point?

She was, because she's explicitly described as having one tied around her neck. That aside, they might have called it something else, but it makes no difference what they called it; the only relevant fact is that a piece of some garment was found in Goulston Street and positively matched with the remaining part of the same garment at the mortuary. Whether they called it an "apron", a "calico chemise" or a "wing-wong for a mustard mill" it doesn't matter in the slightest, and it's pointless arguing about it.

A CHEMISE IS AN UNDERGARMENT /AN APRON IS AN OUTER GARMENT!

Witness at Catherine Eddowes' inquest.

Frederick William Foster was the City surveyor who presented plans and maps relating to the Eddowes murder as well as sketches of her injuries to the inquest. These consisted of a scale map of Mitre Square and a sketch of the murder scene (both with Eddowes' body in situ), a map of the area between Mitre Square and Goulston Street upon which were marked two possible routes the murderer could have taken. He also made three sketches of Eddowes' mutilations, one full-length depiction as she was found, one in the mortuary and one concentrating on the facial injuries. He stated:
"I have made the plans produced - I have them in three sections one 8 feet to an inch, another 200 feet to an inch from an Ordnance map of the City - I have marked on an Ordnance Map of the same scale from Berner Street to Mitre Square - that would be 1144 yards about 3/4 of a mile - it would take about 12 minutes to walk it from one to another".
"It is the nearest route that anyone unaccustomed to it would take it - There are 2 routes to Goulstone Street one from Church Passage through Duke Street crossing Houndsditch through Gravel Lane, Stoney Lane crossing Petticoat Lane and through to Goulstone Street. A person going from Mitre Square to Flower and Dean Street would go as the most direct route across Goulstone Street - it would take within 1/4 of an hour to get there".^[1]
Foster's plans were discovered in the basement of the (Royal) London Hospital in Whitechapel by Professor Francis Camps and his assistant Sam Hardy in the 1960s^[2]. They are currently held in the hospital's museum and archives.
