At first sight, i saw it as a real possability of setting a time of attack, but its not.
I would suggest, no more, that the attack took place approx 10 minutes max before Paul arrived, but its guess work, the tools to be more pricise do not exist now and certainly did not in 1888.
And of course if Fish is correct that the abdomen wounds were first and the cause of death (which they could be, but inconsider highly unlikely) then the whole game would change even if the hypothesis worked, which is doesn't.

Did people bleed longer in 1888?

"We wouldn´t know, Robert. It´s a wee hard to tell. You are not weeing on me, are you?"
Could you repeat that, Fish? I'm way down Hanbury St out of earshot. Of course, mystically I'm still with Crossmere and Mizen, but there you are - the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

Originally posted by Jon Guy View PostSame difference, Abby, my point being that Mizen saw 2 men leaving (what we now know as the murder site) together.
I have said this before, and I will reiterate it: There is the possibility that Lechmere told Paul that he would fool any PC they met so they could slip past him and get to work faster. In such a case, Paul could/would have heard what was said, but would likely be reluctant to speak of it at the inquest.
However, I favour the option with Paul being out of earshot. Less risk involved.
