    The only "hole", around here it seems is the one you keep digging for yourself

      • Well this is a bit embarrassing.

        According to Robert Smith in the 2019 version of his book, at a 2018 meeting with James Johnston and Keith Skinner:

        “Lyons had admitted on film that he had indeed been working at Battlecrease on 9thMarch 1992…”

        Now Caz tells us for the first time, six years after Smith’s published claim about Eddie having admitted being at Battlecrease on 9th March 1992, that:

        “having revisited Eddie's fascinating account from 2018, I can confirm that no actual dates were mentioned by him”

        She then asks a strange question “how could they be?”, as if the idea of Eddie having mentioned that he was in Battlecrease on 9th March 1992 was an obvious impossibility, despite it being the very thing we’d been assured had happened!

        And still, incomprehensibly, no transcript is provided of what Eddie Lyons said in February 2018 let alone the video recording of the event. We have to rely on Caz’s own interpretation of what Eddie supposedly said. For some reason, we are not allowed to see for ourselves what he said and she doesn’t quote a single word spoken by him.

        Unsubstantiated, unsupported claims are utterly worthless I’m afraid, as Smith’s unsubstantiated and unsupported 2019 claim proves​.

          You even have another fairly valuable artifact in its own right you can use.

          It’s been over 30 years now. What exactly are you waiting for?

          It is pretty easy to prove, actually. We know the diary wasn’t written before 1945 due to the inclusion of the modern expression “one off instance”. Q.E.D. it couldn’t have been in a cubby hole for 103 years prior to 1992. End of story.

          But the location of the diary wasn’t what Caz was talking in her most recent posts. Her only point was that Eddie Lyons was working in Battlecrease on 9th March 1992. She hasn’t provided any evidence to support this claim but, even if it’s true, it’s still a million miles from Eddie Lyons finding (and stealing) anything in the house that day, let alone the diary of Jack the Ripper.

          • The journal “intrinsically”, like the gold watch cannot be proven to have been circulating for any part of 103 years.

            • You really think a thief is going to put himself at the scene of the crime.

              You have no concept of the criminal classes.

                According to Caz, Eddie Lyons voluntarily and freely gave up sufficient information in 2018 which put himself "at the scene of the crime", or, rather, at Battlecrease on 9th March 1992.

                I guess this must mean that there was no crime, otherwise, by your own logic, he wouldn't have done this.​

                  That's literally what C.A.B. and Robert Smith and Jay Hartley claimed he did do---unnecessarily placed himself at the scene of the crime.

                  Even the worst batter in MLB history didn't bat .000, but every post shows you defy the odds, Marcus!

                  • What does Robert Smith and Jay Harley claiming it have to do with what was actually said versus implied.

                    I guess CAB this year is the only besides me who understands the criminal classes. “How can it be that he would do that?!” Exactly.

                    If that what Caz means, it makes me wonder who she’s been hanging out with lately.

                      That's not what she's saying, Marcus--but you do you.

                      She's clearly saying Eddie DID put himself at the scene of the alleged crime:

                      Originally posted by caz View Post

                      For whatever reason, it was the brief March job that Eddie was recalling, so the question is: what made that earlier occasion memorable, so long after the event, while the longer job in the July with the boss's son didn't even merit a mention?


                      But whatever. It doesn't matter.

                        Echoing Roger, CAB wasn't saying what you think she was saying Lombro. Go back and read her post over again more carefully. She was talking about the impossibility of someone (anyone) remembering where they were on a specific date from 26 years earlier. But, like I said, that's precisely what we were told Eddie had been able to do.​

                        • Right! He remembered 26 years later because that was the day he stole the Diary from Battlecrease.

                          That’s what Caz was getting at. I should have known she wasn’t exhibiting inside knowledge of the criminal classes.

                          But just what are you getting at? He said. She said He didn’t say. But she said…. He described the right day but not the date so there’s no confession but he described the right day which he wouldn’t do if he was guilty….. So Lombo is wrong because he described the right day….Which he said a criminal wouldn’t do.

                          26 years later.
