Chapman's Death

[Nothing to see]

Hi Michael

I've just realised that my 'brilliant theory' has a fatal flaw which makes it an absolutely rubbishy theory so I'd better shut up about it

Cheers to you.

That's a pity. I was looking forward to reading it. Still don't want to share?

[Mitch Rowe]

I dont know about that? Almost nothing is definate. There are alternative interpretations of many events that occured. Apart from the inquest testimony theres not much else to go on.

Look guys

Forget this 'witness' stuff please.

The only really problematical thing here is the doctors' time of death estimate.

And I have a brilliant theory on that, if I say so myself.

If anybody is interested

Do tell.. compadre.

Cheers Stephen

Cadosh at the inquest:



Maybe this "No" has nothing to do with the murder at all and came from somewhere else.

Right.. The best thing to do was to put Cadosch exactly where he was when he heard the sounds and then make a few sounds like a lady saying no in the general area where Annie was found and then ask Cadosch if that sounds like what he heard.

Because Im wondering if the noise he heard that sounded like a great packing case hitting the fence wasnt actually the front door hitting the wall?

Maybe the "no" was actually the back door creaking? We have no idea unless the experiments are made.

Its too bad that area is gone. We could have performed sophisticated experiments with acoustics and maybe it could have helped.

I never really had doubts about Cadoshe's statement, not even in his timing. It was just a thought a had and I wanted to hear/read some opinions. Maybe I shouldn't submit any posts while at work.

I also believe that the last two known words in Annie's life were "Yes" (on the question "Will You?") and "No".

Hi Frank, that's doubtful, since he feels it came from the backyard of 29. I think we're on safe ground there. Plus, by this point the police would have questioned all neighbors about their movements this morning. It doesn't appear they turned up anything that would cast doubt on Cadosche's story.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Cadosh at the inquest:

I heard a voice say "No" just as I was going through the door. It was not in our yard, but I should think it came from the yard of No. 29. I, however, cannot say on which side it came from

Maybe this "No" has nothing to do with the murder at all and came from somewhere else.

Man, if CSI was around in 1888 we'd probably know who Jack was.

Unfortunately, it wasn't. Best guesses.

[Mitch Rowe]

Yeah I read it but I still go for Cadosche. He was how far from the fence?

It makes a lot more sense to me than Long. She was wrong. IMO.

Mere feet from the fence. Thats why I go for the solid fence theory. As far as what he heard I have no idea. They should have put him back in his place and tried acoustic experiments. That may have resolved some questions.

people correct me if im rong. I do seem to remember Schwartz pointing out that it was Kosminski he saw with liz and he was attacking her too i think. I could be rong, but Schwartz then said he did not want to testify against kosminski because he didnt want to be the reason for the hanging of a fellow jew. Doesnt that make kosminski the prime suspect?

Hi. Schwartz is a Jack witness. He never said anything regarding Kosminski.

Course I think Schwartz saw Liz's killer...for just about the same reasons.

Here is a dissertation on the subject of the timing errors in case anyone hasnt read it:
