The issue of light affecting colours has been raised before.
Regardless whether the artificial light is gas or electric, any object within the dome of light retains its original colour.
That is a fact you can prove for yourself.
The further away the object is moved from the light source, then the more obscure the original colour of that object becomes.
Astrachan passed beneath a lamp outside the pub, any handkerchief sticking out of a top pocket would have been clearly visible at that point.
He only pulled it out when he stood beneath the wall lamp at Millers Court passage, as there was a light source at both locations then we have no cause to doubt that detail in the story.
All you are doing is struggling to raise ill conceived objections, many of which have been raised before with predictable results.
No-one to date has ever shown Hutchinson to have lied about anything. A handful of people choose to invent desperate arguments in an attempt to justify their various theories, but these same people cannot even agree on what it is they 'believe' Hutchinson lied about.
The source for Abberline's claim to have interrogated Hutchinson, is Abberline himself. Perhaps you should read the "Ultimate" thoroughly before you embark on speculation?
Good idea, just stick with 'safe' assumptions.
Right, and as we are told he walked down to stand opposite Millers Court, then he just might have been a bit closer than you originally thought.
120-125 feet, approx, as measured on the Ordnance Survey map.
Also, as Sarah Lewis saw a loiterer standing outside Crossinghams, at the same time as she also saw a man & woman (the worse for drink) walk up the court. Hutchinson had to be a good deal closer to Astrachan & Kelly to be seen by Lewis at the same time.

Let's remember that in the official statement he doesn't say where he viewed the handkerchief from...
In the press report in the times he says he stood on the corner of Dorset street and commercial street and watched them on the corner of millers court.This would be around 200 feet away!!!!
