Ah, so its assumption that leads you to this conclusion.

I'm just telling you what I find more likely on the subject, Neil, and since the Met was criticized by the City Police for the erasure, they would have been pleased to prove them wrong.
Warren would have simply been too happy if he could have said : "the people living there told us that the message was already there prior to the murder" instead of his mere : "it was blurred" - which DC Halse contested.

Intentionally or not.

Warren- as far as this episode is concerned- is a bit of an enigma. He was acting on the advice of Arnold, who had just recently returned to duty, but was certainly aware of the 'Leather Apron' scare. He also claimed that the graffito was difficult to cover and easily seen by passersby. Yet if it was written in the size that it was claimed to be, it would not be easily read unless someone was very close to it.
However, he was decisive at a time when many others might vacillate. It was a difficult call to make, considering the ramifications he had to know that would follow in the wake of his decision.
A previous poster has commented that the news of the graffito was soon known anyway. While there was one press report to that effect soon after the news of the apron was published, the press report, itself, discounted it as rumor. The actual truth about the graffiti wasn't public knowledge until October 12, when Halse finally gave his testimony at the Eddowes inquest on the day before.Best Wishes,
Hunter

Therefore the apron lends power to the writing.

Hi All,
I feel a bit sorry for PC 191H who had to single-handedly guard the GSG from the eyes of any passing riot-minded Jews whilst the perspicacious PC Long dashed off to the police station with the piece of apron he found a good twenty minutes before anyone knew it was missing.
Regards,
SimonNever believe anything until it has been officially denied.
