guest

Hello (again) CD. Thanks.

"Now if there were no BS man, who exactly do you think killed Liz?"

Some member or guest of the club. Possibly as part of a misunderstanding.

Cheers.

others

Hello (again) CD. Thanks.

"A myth? Possibly. But there is that pesky little matter of five women all of whom had their throat cut."

Actually, many more than five. You neglect Tabram, McKenzie and Coles. Nor have you added Mylett, nor the attacks on Wilson and Millwood. Don't forget Smith.

Cheers.

And the club members were so loyal to each other that they were willing to protect a murderer in their midst?

Hello Lynn,

If Schwartz had no fear of lying since it could not be discovered, why not embellish the story by saying that he saw the BS man with knife in hand dragging Liz back into the yard? Surely that would remove all doubt as to whom the killer was.

IF there is a BSM, look no further--he is your killer.
LC

True, Lynn.
And there was a BSM.
Or should I say a RSM ?

all in jeopardy

Hello CD. Thanks.

"And the club members were so loyal to each other that they were willing to protect a murderer in their midst?"

They likely felt that ALL could be in jeopardy. Recall: they came from a culture where that was common practise.

As Tom Wescott has pointed out, think about the American Haymarket Riots.

Cheers.

ambiguity

Hello (again) CD. Thanks.

"why not embellish the story by saying that he saw the BS man with knife in hand dragging Liz back into the yard?"

Why over-egg the pudding? Leave it ambiguous, and if some detail is disputed, you are covered. Also would he not have been expected to intervene?

By the way, one detail was NOT ambiguous--he was NOT a Jew and hence not a Socialist Jew.

Indeed, CD.
They used to have lunch once a week in Leicester Square, and Schwartz went by the name of Thursday.

corroboration

Hello David. Thanks.

"And there was a BSM."

Indeed? So whom corroborated Israel's story?

Cheers.

RSM wasn't a Jew either - and the witness who described him wasn't a Jewish club member.
Same with Sailor Man, Lynn.

Here it is, Lynn. It's a bit more than corraboration (after all, Schwartz should not be blamed because Pipoman did not show up).

Good old Schwartz !
He has fabricated a suspect that resembles both the man seen by Marshall and Sailor Man.
Hats-off ! (with peak)

humour

Hello David. I appreciate your sense of humour.

Cheers.

[DVV]

Fine, but still BSM resembles RSM.
Such a luck for the club members.

Then another murder in Mitre Square.
And now that's too much luck.
But wait, there is more : the suspect is a gentile again.
About 30 years old, cap with a peak.

Cheers

[Wickerman]

Same with Sailor Man, Lynn.

...but Sailor man doesn't exist.

All the suspects around Berner St. where specified, are 'Clerks' in appearance.

Mouarff.

Sailor Man has never been said to be a sailor.
And conversely, the "clerk" seen by Marshall had the sort of cap "that a sailor would wear".

Et la nuit, tous les chats sont gris.
