The next street over - Batty St. also has a yard that opens to the street, none of the other streets do. It is also beside a pub, as opposed to a club, but at night who's to tell the difference?
Had Schwartz seen a woman being roughed up in Batty St., in the entrance of the yard beside the pub, but heard the next day that a woman had been murdered in the yard in Berner St.
Schwartz just put two and two together, he thought the murder was the scuffle he witnessed, he just had not realized he was in Batty St., not Berner St.
The fact Schwartz account does not fit with anything said by all the other witnesses is troubling, yet many have tried to explain that fact away but to no great satisfaction.
