Richardson's View

[NotBlamedForNothing]

Thanks Dave.

Jack must have nearly buckled on that occasion.
Fortunately for him though, he did a grand job and gave the lady no time to squeal.

Does your Mum know you are up this late annoying adults on the internet?

[Abby Normal]

An interesting statement. One with an intent that's hard to decipher. Sort of like 'Abby is the one who will not be blamed for nothing'. Especially nothing concerning that paragon of probity George Hutchinson...

MA0914:

Baxter: Did he tell you what he was there for?
Chandler: Yes; he said he came to look if all was right.

Pretty vague, and it was you that told me about Chandler being caught drunk on duty.

Yes but he’d have had to have been paralytic to have missed that.

Im certainly not critical of you looking at new angles for things that might have been overlooked over the years. These cellar doors however were just a very few feet away and Richardson would have only been checking that they were still in place (that the lock wasn’t broken)

[DJA]

As you know,Chandler was demoted in 1892 and washed up at 48 years of age,when he retired from the force in 1898.

Don't ever underestimate just how incompetent police can be. That's just counting the honest ones.

[NotBlamedForNothing]

In regards to the Chapman murder, was Chandler incompetent, or was he bribed?
That brothel would have been worth spending good money on, to protect.

Now presumably Jack, having been a clients client at 29 Hanbury in the past, knew where the spare key was kept.
Did he know the same for Room 13 Millers Court?

Well he may have known the way into the room at Millers Court,if he was an aquaintance of Kelly,and the way into the backyard in Hanbury Street if he was an aquaintance of Richardson.If,If If.......

[DJA]

There was a locked door within 7' of a murder victim and no record, that I can recall, of it being opened and searched.

There was no trick to getting in, in either case.
He simply paid Mrs Richardson for time in the basement of #29, and Mr McCarthy for half the night in Room 13.
As explained in the East London Observer, Nov 10:

According to all accounts, the woman who was murdered was not a regular habitue of the place; on the contrary, she was rather well dressed, apparently about twenty-five years of age, and even good looking. As to what time she came to the house on Friday morning, and as to the description of the man who accompanied her, no definite information has been received at the time of writing, thanks to the extreme reticence of the police. This much, however, has been found, that some payment was made by the man for the use of the room; that that payment was received by someone residing in the house; and that the murderer and his victim entered the place in the small hours of Friday morning - between one and two o'clock as near as can be gathered.

In exchange for the payment, he is given the appropriate key.

Behind that door lived the leather apron - on which customers would have sex.
Early morning of September 8th, Mrs Richardson had to clean it up the best she could, in a jiffy.

Where are you getting this stuff from? Is there an alternative history of the case that no one else but you has read?
