It would be quite a paradox if it were falsely perceived that a man was being pursued along Fairclough street at 12:45, and yet we have Schwartz, claiming to have been pursued down the street at pretty much the same time.
Could it be that knowledge of this misconstrued chase provided the template for Schwartz' account (or at least that part of it)? Yet that begs the question; why does Wess imply that 'the public' had possibly misunderstood the situation, yet still place the event after the murder? Also, why did he conveniently forget the name of the man who supposedly gave chase? Yet the most important question for the misconstrued chase theory is; why were perceptions not corrected when the two men doubled-back, and stopped to pick up Spooner? According to the Echo report, the man pursued escaped.
You're also claiming that Schwartz and Pipeman ran down Berner street, rather than Fairclough. Presumably this is because if they had run along Fairclough, Spooner would have seen them and reported it. Yet that leaves us with a curious coincidence. Spooner did report that a man 'pursued' him, as he was running to the yard - Mr Harris. He said: He came running after me.
