Chapman Timeline

[Doctored Whatsit]

Inquest testimony does not mention clocks out by 10 mins as far as I can see.

Coroner: "There was some conflict in the evidence about the time at which the deceased was despatched. It is not unusual to find inaccuracy in such details, but that variation was not very great or very important."

So spoke a man of the Victorian era who was very experienced in judging estimated times. And once again, it has to be stressed that Long didn't see a clock. she heard it strike what she thought was the half hour, but which could have been quarter past. Quarter past, as has been previously pointed out, fits better with her stated time of leaving her house at 5 am.

Why do you go on about what is already known herlock .?

If Cadosch claimed the "No" at his time of 5.20am being obviously Chapman, then Long is wrong at 5.30 with her identifying Chapman .

Inquest testimony does not mention clocks out by 10 mins as far as I can see.

Stick to what is known , not dodgy clocks. ,

If we decide to bring in unknowns to the table, anyone can make up anything to fit any theory. I'd rather we stick to the inquest evidence alone .
But you believe whatever makes you comfortable.

This is a very poor reading of the evidence Fishy. Please look again.

Cadosch said that he got up around 5.15 and 10 minutes later went into the yard.

I’m suggesting the very real possibly that he might have got up at 5.20

5.20 + 10 minutes = 5.30 when I went to school Fishy, I don’t know about you.

Then we have to factor in the time that he spent in the loo (because he heard the ‘no’ when he returned to the back door.) So how long? 1 minute, 2 minutes.

This would leave him hearing the ‘no’ at 5.31 or 5.32. A minute or two after Long saw the couple out on the street.

I realise that your error is embarrassing but an error is an error. Don’t worry though Fishy…I know that you never own up to errors so I fully expect silence on this point.

….

So, no problem Fishy. If you are happy to be the only human being in the world who believes that all clocks and watches are always synchronised; and have been since the Victorian era, I’m perfectly happy for you to hold to that fantasy.

….

So the only question now is, will you battle on with a totally lost point (Trevor-style), try to change the subject or completely ignore the point. I can’t quite decide which one my money would be on.
