    Tom, with "intact" I meant that the contents of one of her pockets were intact, as in, still inside of her pocket. Unless I'm misremembering this?

    When I first came to Ripperology I was envisioning Stride having initially offered her client/not yet assailant cachous. Have to confess I haven't thought about this for quite some time.

    I'm afraid I don't have my mind much on Ripperology right now. My laptop had a fall off my desk and the metal part of the charge cable (which was the last one on American soil) tore and opened up like Stride's flower. Luckily I recently got a spare charge cable from France which I'm using now, otherwise my comp would go dead in less than an hour, and I've got a deadline! (Charge cable before last overheated and caught fire like a barbecue when I was in Chicago, lol. Apple hardware is a bit flimsy.)

    Hi Maria. When people are robbed, their pockets are generally left in tact. Nothing regarding what I posted would suggest the necessity to cut Stride's pockets. Quite the opposite, actually. And for the record, it's the most sensible and likely solution to the cachous mystery ever presented. I would ask if anyone would care to know what the second most sensible solution is - which has never yet been put forth - but clearly they'd rather talk about flowers. And they're not even getting that right.

    Yours truly,

    Not with a 10 ft poll.

    This has been already discussed in the past. I think the idea of a fake robbery fits with Chapman's ring intendations on her fingers and possibly with Eddowes as well. As for Stride, one of her pockets was intact, if I'm not mistaken.

    I still say the cachous isn't that big of a mystery. She had no money on her when found, though she should have had some. Her clothes had not been interfered with after death. This suggests she was robbed before she was murdered and the cachous was in her hand because it was in the same pocket with the loose change that she took out for the murder. Same M.O. we see in Hanbury Street and Mitre Square where each of the victims also had personal items nearby.
    Nobody want to touch this?

    Hi Lynn,

    It looks ok to me, it could very well be that it happened this way, especially the way her throat was cut.

    Greetings,

    Chest Bruise

    Now what do you make of that chest bruise?

    Yours truly,

    Hi Tom,

    BS Man seems to have been quite a powerful guy and Liz Stride was quite a slightly built woman. If he knelt on her chest, she wouldn't cry out because she wouldn't be able to breathe. I offer that only as a possibility, not as a definite btw.

    Regards, Bridewell.

    They could have met anywhere and walked up to the gates before Schwartz came along.
    Inside the IWMEC perhaps?

    Regards, Bridewell.

    geraniums

    Dunno, any time if he had a hot-house. They are not hard to grow. Try this:

    Hello Lynn.
    Really?, strange that someone would mistake maidenhair fern for asparagus, I mean they don't look even remotely similar.

    Dickens mentions geraniums as buttonhole flowers several times. And there are many varieties of scented geraniums, from lemon and orange to eau de cologne.

    Best wishes.

    We can do a great deal with the genetics of a geranium today (like 'scented') that could not be done a hundred and fifty years ago. By the way, what time of year was the geranium used for a buttonhole by Dickens?
    Just me being Curious this time
