The Apron Again

[Phil Carter]

Hello Curious4,

Point to ponder perhaps? I would have thought that most 'trophy hunting killers' KEEP their trophies, not throw it away after 35mins or an hour, i am no expert but maybe you or someone else may be on this point?

Best wishes

Hello Phil. Thanks. Oh, dear--that?

Well, perhaps one should strive for quality, not quantity?

Hello Phil. Thanks.

Hello Lynn,


Keeping it in the Yuletide spirit...

On the 5th day of solving, the case it gives to thee..
5 Copper's grins..
4 missing papers
3 Street exits
2 apron pieces
and a timeline that doesnt add up.

Hello Phil. But given the thread (and needing a rhyme):

"And an apron 'neath the old GSG."

Cheers.

Ah, you got my point then. Good.

Serial mutilation is just one illogical act. But it's one hell of an act to follow, and few men would be illogical enough to try it.

Love,

Ah, I had gotten the point many moons ago.

I find its selective.

I see a good deal of expertise with killing and ripping Polly and Annie; but a mere random encounter.

And I see the exact converse with Kate--no expertise with the knife; lots and lots of pre-planning.

Cheers.

Trying to explain the behaviour of another according to our own presupposed canons of human behaviour is a tricky undertaking. Would it were discontinued.

[QUOTE=lynn cates;200604]Hello C4.

"why use rag, when there were plenty of copies of old newspapers'

Texture, I think.


Hello Lynn,

I can remember in my childhood when it was still fairly usual to cut up old newspapers into similar squares, make a hole in one corner with a meat skewer, thread a piece of string through, then hang the little 'package' up on a nail in the toilet within reach of the user. I can only remember this in outside toilets, and mainly with the older generation. This would have been in the 1950's.

It was normal even with the middle classes in Victorian times.

By the time I was born in 1946 most people were using toilet rolls called Izal. These were definitely better than newspaper but had a 'toilety' smell and were far from soft! I would know that smell anywhere!

Hi Carol,

Izal. What precious memories you conjure.

If I remember correctly, printed across the bottom of each sheet was "Now Wash Your Hands".

Regards,

Simon

Hello everyone,

I've just read through my post number 429 and find I left something out.

When Eddowes 'maybe' had cut off the apron piece she could have used some of it to cut out other items, such as smaller rags for her period? Perhaps she borrowed a pair of scissors? Then the apron 'piece' would not have been so awkwardly large to use as a maxi sanitary rag.

Some witnesses say 'half' of the apron, while others say 'portion' or 'piece'.
