How can anyone tell by simply looking it at whether it was made 1 hour previous or one day previous?

But it's this point mostly, what was the purpose then of JTR bringing the part-apron with him if it was not for carrying the organs and wiping his hands or blade?
All these gave it a good chance that JTR wrote the graffito.Clearly the first human laws (way older and already established) spawned organized religion's morality - from which it's writers only copied/stole,ex. you cannot kill,rob,steal (forced,it started civil society).

Chances were that the dwellers of Wentworth MD would have erased the graffito if they saw it as they went up the stairs. The chalk was fresh meaning it was still bold as opposed to faded.

When thinking about whether the graffiti would have been erased by the residents, bear in mind that it was located down very low on the wall (shin high) and the capitals of the "schoolboy hand" were only 3/4" high, with the other letters in proportion.

The implication is the graffito was written the immediate previous night, in daylight it would have been seen.Clearly the first human laws (way older and already established) spawned organized religion's morality - from which it's writers only copied/stole,ex. you cannot kill,rob,steal (forced,it started civil society).

what do i think triggered the message? those pesky jews that kept interupting him that night and forced him to scuttle his first attempt, one which pissed him off so much he yelled a racial slur.
re the vague message- i dont think its really that vague. i read once an expert on cockney say it should be read as... the jews wont take the blame for anything...as in... the jews wont take responsibility.
but really for me trying to decipher the message or its motive is not really all that important. i always say if the motive is unclear, just go with the evidence. and the evidence is...it was found right above the apron, found at the same time, and the police believed it to be by the ripper. thats good enough for me.
When you look at most communications left by serial killers, they always tend to have some connection to the killings, even an oblique mention. In this case, the author took a rather weak jab at the Jews and that was it. There was absolutely nothing to be gleaned from this, apart from the idea he had anti-semitic tendencies. That would theoretically rule out Jewish suspects, but what if he was a self-hating Jew? What if he was a Jew trying to frame a gentile?
I think the lack of reference to the murders will forever leave the GSG's validity up to interpretation.

In this case why would the killer firstly walk the distance between Mitre Sq and Goulston Street in possession of incriminating evidence and risk being stopped
Second and most importantly why would the killer decide to deposit these items in a location so far away from the crime scene where they may never have been found.
We have no evidence from any of the other murders of clothing being cut or graffiti being found
I dont subscribe to the killer writing the graffiti or depositing the apron piece

I think one should also take into account "signature killings" whereby a killer will leave something at a crime scene which will easliy be found and readily identifable to the killer by officers. After all if the killer had cut a piece of apron he could have put it in an envelope and sent it to the police

We don't know how far the murderer lived from any of the murder sites, so in most instances he was always carrying incriminating evidence, whether it was a bloody knife or innards (although I won't open up that can of worms with you!) That's the element of risk that comes with the territory.
However, if PC Long is to be trusted, the apron didn't appear until over an hour after the murder. Do you think it was simply overlooked by PC Long or was it deposited later?

Well, I guess it worked Trevor, because it was found by the police and linked to the killer.
Can i clarify the apron piece was linked to the victim that is a know fact, it is conjecture to say that it was linked to the killer

But he didnt need to take that risk

1. It was there and he missed it
2. It was not there when he passed
3. It was deposited there by the victim
4. It was deposited by Dc Halse who then promts Pc Long to check all the doorways and then he finds the apron piece despite them both stating they never saw each other in Goulston Street

to me it does have reference to the murders, disparaging jews that disturbed the ripper that night. thats one of the reasons i think it was definitely by the killer. and contrary to your point..many times grafitti left by killers are sometimes extremely vague : mansin murders had pigs and helter skelter, one serial killer left smiley faces, another killer wrote on the victims walls "she saved him, can they save her" night stalker drew pentagrams, none of which reference the actual murders at all.

As to the graffito, it was small, chalked in rounded letters similar to a schoolboy's hand, covering an area of two or three bricks only. And as such, its appearance was negligible.
Detective Halse said at the inquest ' I saw some chalk writing on the black facing of the wall' and as recorded in The Daily Telegraph, Oct 12, 'The writing was on the black bricks, which formed a kind of dado, the bricks above being white'
In a confidential memorandum from Sir Charles Warren to Henry Mathews, we find specific mention of the location:Subject: 'The writing on the wall'Cheers, George
'...I accordingly went down to Goulston Street at once before going to the scene of the murder; it was just getting light, the public would be in the streets in a few minutes, in a neighbourhood very much crowded on Sunday mornings by Jewish vendors and Christian purchasers from all parts of London.
There were several police around the spot when I arrived, both Metropolitan and City. The writing was on the jamb of the open archway or doorway visible to anybody in the street and could not be covered up without danger of the covering being torn off at once.....'
