strange

Hello Velma. Thanks.

"Not to mention that she was killed in a place almost completely surrounded by policemen and none of these trained people saw or heard anything -- going from memory of a long ago thread now."

Your memory serves you well.

"broke all day, but roaring drunk -- or was she?"

There were no fewer than 4 officers--Robinson, the one who helped her to Bishopsgate, Hutt and Byfield--who would affirm that she was completely snoggered.

"Released too soon . . . if she was really THAT drunk, would she have been released so soon?"

She was questioned and pronounced sufficiently sober.

"surrounded by policeman but murdered and mutilated by a speedy, silent wraith."

Yes. And this has intrigued me for nearly 40 years.

"a lot of very strange circumstances by the way I see things."

But the strangest of all are John's dicta.

Cheers.

Hello Barbara. But if John is truthful, they had spent that money by mid-day Saturday. Kate was then supposedly off to Annie's for more funds.

Cheers.

...now leaving aside the dubious tale of visiting her daughter, that afternoon somebody for sure plied her with multiple drinks to get her into that sort of state...this surely wasn't just a large measure of gin, indicating a client perhaps...this was more in the nature of a prolonged drinking session leaving her totally rat-arsed...

So who bought her the drinks? And in what expectation?

I always thought it obvious. She got the money when she pawned John Kelly's boots.
