The journalist who are writing his name down, have missed Cross stating his address.
The Star journalist has chosen not to note his name, and instead has continued to listen to Cross, and has then heard and written down his address.
At the start of his testimony, we know Cross has given us the names of the following streets - Doveton street, Broad street, Parsons street, Brady Street, and Buck’s Row, not one paper gives us all of these. Why ?
Why do we have two different times Cross left home, twenty past three and half past three?
Is it not more useful to realize that the Star differed in BOTH respects visavi the other newspapers? They ALL had a name for him correctly heard or not, and NONE had the street. They are ALL in accordance, whereas ONE single paper is totally out of line with the others.
‘Just then they heard a policeman coming.’ - Daily Telegraph 4th Sept. 1888
Where has this line come from, has the telegraph reporter asked someone ?
They asked, Mr Lucky. They did not hear, they asked, that´s why.
Why did they ask ?
Why did no one else ask ?
And why didn’t they ask what his name was, while they were at it?
