harry: Regardless of white or black,Dew's remarks are that the appearance of the apron when found was such that it looked black.
No, Harry - it was not a question of the apron "appearing" black. Dew obviously mistakenly thought that the apron was one made of black fabric. It was not, it was made of WHITE fabric. Whether Dew ever saw the apron piece is anybody´s guess, but it remains that he got it wrong when it comes to the colour of cloth it was made from.
Against a dark background it would have been difficult to see.
If it was black, yes. But that was a mistake on behalf of Dew, and you cannot use that mistake to establish that the apron appeared to be black. It would be in conflict with the evidence, It would be using a misconception to promote an argument that otherwise cannot be promoted. It would be faulty and misleading. So let´s go with what we know - the apron was made of white cloth, and therefore it would be a lot easier to see. The bloodstains and the feces would to some degree have made the apron look darker, but that is all we can say.
The writing however appeared to be fresh,therefor fresh white chalk against a black background would stand out more distinctly.
Harry, why do yo do this? You know as well as I do that there were those who said that it looked fresh, and there were those who said it looked old. Let´s be honest enough to acknowledge that BOTH views were given, shall we?
Both were in a sphere of vision of a person glancing into the building,but Long can only say the cloth was not there.Interesting.
Not very, no. Writing is twodimensional and an apron is threedimensional. That makes your reasoning onedimensional, by the way.
If the apron piece was used to carry the organs? Need it be? why could not the killer have taken two pieces of cloth from Eddowes possession.An extra piece that we know nothing about,because we do not know what was in her possession when she was killed.
Completely true. There is no need to accept that the killer must have carried the organs in the apron piece.
There you go, Harry - in the end, you got one matter right. If you can stay on track now...
