Did he have anatomical knowledge?

[Cogidubnus]

Thank you. My concept to what may have happened is new, and I was hoping to learn more from you all before expressing it.

Hello Futz...the key word there is before...and with all due respect we've all been newbies here and have all made our first posting with some degree of trepidation about whether we're going to get jumped on or whatever...We've all made statements that I feel sure we look back on and cringe...

Under the circumstances Wickerman Jon asked you a very fair question...had you read the thread before expressing a firm opinion on it...and to be fair to you you freely admitted that you hadn't...

So, being honest with yourself, as I'm sure you will be (having been so once) how much attention do you feel we ought to pay to your views?

It follows, and I mean this with the greatest of respect (having been there myself), you need to do at least a little basic research, and at the very least read the threads before commenting...If you know nothing about a particular subject, say so (no shame in it!)...and in my limited experience someone will nearly always come along to help and guide you...

You've possibly made a slightly false start...please don't compound it...hope you take this as it's intended

All the best

manner of speaking

Hello Gwyneth. Thanks.

Perhaps just a manner of speaking?

Cheers.

Who was it?

Hello Lynn,

Then why didn't he say so? Diemschutz and friend went off together in one direction, Eagles in another, Eagles says "I" - does rather imply that he went off alone (so he thought) or he would have said "I and X" or "I and another man".

Cheers,

Gwyneth

second lad

Hello Gwyneth. Thanks.

Could it have been Kozebrodski?

Cheers.

No apologies

Hello Rya,

Please don't apologise - really, no need. I do agree with you that Jack had a knowledge of anatomy from hunting.

It is a puzzle that there was only a trace of fecal matter on the piece of apron if he used it to wipe his hands. And one report states that only one corner was spotted with blood. Perhaps he wore gloves?

Hello Lynn,

Sounds more like a welshman than an irishman - well, of course! Yes, I agree with you about the firemen and weren't there sewage workers as well? Maybe he hid in a dark corner and made his escape in the following confusion, as per (I think) Polly Nicholls ("I say, watchman old man") and Liz Stride. There is no explanation (as far as I know) of who the second man was running with Eagle. He says "I ran", but the policeman states that two men ran towards him.

Best wishes,

C4/Gwyneth
