Was Dutfields Yard Really Empty?

D'oh! Too subtle, Mike! Either that, or I'm slow this morning

Ah, but it's Friday evening for me. Only 4 classes more to teach and I have a 3 day weekend. If only there were someplace to go, or decent beer to drink. Still, days off are not to be dismissed lightly... much like a dung heap.

Harry,

Even now in the digital age, you would expect many witnesses to be somewhat inaccurate in their timings. But in those times witnesses could be and WERE off by as much as an hour. Edward Spooner's timings, for instance, were atrocious. However, James Brown felt morally certain he had seen Liz with a man and we must remember that Liz Stride, unlike most other victims, was rather unique looking. She was dressed better than other women of the area and had that unique and memorable mouth. What's interesting to me is that if Brown did see Liz around his stated time, then the man she was with was quite possibly Pipeman.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Tom,
I certainly agree with you on the last part of the above post.
