The Apron Again

[Chava]

Well she had a white-handled table knife with her for a start. And if you're wondering how sharp it could be, I'd like to reference the following from John Richardson's evidence at the Annie Chapman inquest:

"Did you go into the yard? - No, the yard door was shut. I opened it and sat on the doorstep, and cut a piece of leather off my boot with an old table-knife, about five inches long."

Hello Maria. Thanks for that.

placement

Hello Trevor.

"Well you would have expected that with the killer cutting and slashing away at the abdomen with a six inch sharp knife."

Could be. Wonder why he placed it outside the abdomen on the ground?

Cheers.

dullard

Hello Chava. Indeed. But he later admitted that it did not get the job done and he had to use another.

Cheers.

Curious

Can you please furnish some documentation to back up that statement?

There is no documentation its a question of how you interpret Sequerias statement

From what I'm finding: Sequera specifically mentioned the light: "Where the murder was committed was probably the darkest part of the square, but there was sufficient light to enable the miscreant to perpetrate the deed. I think that the murderer had no design on any particular organ of the body. He was not possessed of any great anatomical skill."

To enable the murder amd mutilations to take place not the removal of the organs

[/B]The information here on Casebook, under Witnesses continues: "He agreed with the findings of Dr. Frederick Gordon Brown, but disagreed with Brown's belief that the killer displayed anatomical knowledge.

Well there had to have been some anatomical knowledge because Brown stated there was. In the Chapman murder Phillips said the same. And my experts concur having read the Doctors inquest testimony.
It appears that in any area Sequera disagreed with Brown, it was mentioned. Since Brown thought 5 minutes was the minimum amount of time required for the mutilations, the information posted here indicates that Sequera agrees.

What documenation is there for your statement about what Sequera agreed with?

Also, while we're on the subject: What instrument did Eddowes have available with which to CUT her apron, since testimony states that it was cut, not torn?

Thank you,

Trevor,

How many times do you have to be asked to stop inserting your cxomments in quotation boxes?

Trevor,

Don.

Well I do it because some posters on here seem to have difficulty in comprehending and understanding the content of my posts when done in normal text so I highlight it.

In your case I will use bigger print and joined up writing with pictures so at least you will be able to understand

Trev,

In case you have a day job, keep it rather than contemplate a career in comedy of any sort. As it is, you might for the sake of comity accede to the polite requests of many.

As to the timing and other observations,itis probable that such were recorded at a later time.I doubt that each person involved stood by with a notebook in hand recording minute detail.Therefor all reports should be allowed some latitude as to the exactness of their contents.

[lynn cates]

fixing of time

Hello Harry. I agree with the possibility that times were off. And this can happen WHENEVER times were recorded/reported.

For any who argue earlier times for any event, they could have been later. But the converse also applies.

Cheers.

I agree with you Harry however it must be noted that whilst waiting for Morris, Watkins checked the time by his own watch.

As a PC of some years he would have noted it, either mentally or in his notebook. Its in the regulations that if possible, times are noted or assessed to the nearest minute.

That said, how exact Watkins timepiece, or the Post Office clock, actually was?

To analyse to the exact and swear by them (seemingly when it suits in this case) is a futile act as we have no idea how exact the timepieces were.

Though I was the obnoxious arrogant one who resorts to personal attacks when my arguements are weak? Seems not.

You never see Evans, Begg or Fido resort to such childish antics. Its why they have respect, well one of the reasons. The other is they know what they are on about.

The fanatists amuse me.

You need to chill out life is to short go with the flow enjoy yourself nothing better for the system that to smile.

Perhaps we should form a comedy club on here and invite Messrs Begg and Evans and Fido/ Perhaps we might find that they are not gods but mere mortals with their own individual sense of humour

Bring back the "Wheeltappers and Shunters Spcial Club"

Trevor,

I agree.

[John Bennett]

Whoever killed Eddowes, whether it was Le Grand, Jack the Ripper, or John Bennett, it was not someone who was a novice to murder.

It wasn't me, honest! I was in prison in France/playing cricket/escaping to America/staying at Balmoral at the time.
