Forget the times Michael, it is the sequence of events that are important.
Here, the Morning Advertiser...
"A member of the club named Kozebrodski, but familiarly known as Isaacs, returned with Diemshitz into the court, and the former struck a match while the latter lifted the body up."
Times.
"A member of the club named Kozebrodski returned with Diemsschütz into the court, and the former struck a match while the latter lifted the body up."
Evening News.
"The next person in importance to Eagle, on whose information we may look forward to getting a clue to the perpetrator of these outrageous crimes is Isaac M. Kozebrodsky. Kozebrodsky was born in Warsaw, and can only speak English very imperfectly. His information, which we are obliged to give very shortly, is this: "I came into the club about which you are asking me at half-past twelve o'clock. Shortly after I came in Diemschitz asked me to come out into the yard,"
Diemshutz discovers the body, he goes into the club and returns to the yard with his friend, Kozebrodski - thats all there is to it.
Kozebrodski then says about Diemshutz:
"So I came out with him and he then pointed out to me a stream of blood, which was running down the gutter in the direction of the gate, and flowed from the gate to the back-door. The blood in the gutter extended to between six and seven yards. I immediately went for a policeman, and ran in the direction of Grove-street, but could not find one."
Diemshutz says:
"..A member named Isaacs went down to the yard with me, and we struck a match and saw the blood right from the gate up the yard. Then we both went for the police,.."
Morning Advertiser.
This is what Eagle said:
"After I had been in the club 20 minutes the steward came in and said there was a woman lying in the yard. I went down into the yard and saw the blood, and afterwards assisted to find the police."
Morning Advertiser.
Both Diemschutz and Kozebrodski ran east along Fairclough St. to Grove, on their way back they brought Spooner who had been standing outside the Beehive pub on the corner of Christian St.
Spooner:
"After talking for about 25 minutes I saw two Jews come running along and shouting out "Murder" and "Police." They then ran as far as Grove-street and turned back. I stopped them and asked what was the matter. They replied, "A woman has been murdered." I then went round with them to Berner-street, and into Dutfield's yard,.."
Spooner also says:
"...I put my hand under her chin when the match was alight."
Diemshutz said:
"As I returned a man whom I had met in Grove-street, and who had come back with me, lifted up the deceased's head"
Diemshutz, Kozebrodski & Spooner all returned to Berner St.
However, Kozebrodski continued up Berner St. to Commercial Rd, only Diemshutz & Spooner entered Dutfields Yard. At some point Kozebrodski meets Eagle.
Diemshutz said:
"There was another of the Club, named Eagle, who also ran out to get a policeman. He went in a different direction to the others, and found two officers somewhere in Commercial-road."
Kozebrodski says:
"Then I went into the Commercial-road, where I found two policemen. I brought them back with me, and they sent for a doctor."
Evening News.
PC Lamb said:
"I was in the Commercial-road, between Christian-street and Batty-street. Two men came running towards me. I went towards them and heard them say, "Come on! There has been another murder."
One of the men was Eagle, the other seems to have been Kozebrodski.
From this it is apparent that the Secretary Story of a chase involved Diemshutz & Kozebrodski, both looking for a policeman along Fairclough St.
Diemshutz & Kozebrodski left the yard, but it was Diemshutz & Spooner who returned.
Kozebrodski continued up Berner St. to find a policeman in Commercial Rd.
Wess thought the two men who came back were the same as the two who left which is why he told the reporter the second man involved in the chase was not a member of the club.
