Hello Clark,

I have never heard this before. What is your source for stating that Barnett was covered in blood when questioned?

c.d.

In the Wiki under Jospeh Barnett in the Mary Kelly entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_J...#Investigation

When he was questioned by the police for four hours his clothes were examined for blood but non was found on them.

Is there anything to show that Barnett was close or associated with the other Ripper victims since the ladies knew each other was he part of their circle so to speak? Man was covered in blood when Abberline questioned him but was still permitted to leave. Today, you go to police covered in blood, unless you work at a slaughter house, they caught you WHILE WORKING, and pull your butt into the interrogation room right after you'd think that'd be a huge red flag?!? Did Abberline let him go because of the police technology at the time not being able to test blood all that conclusively? Was Barnett ever seen in the company of the others or just Kelly?
