The police conducted interviews but they neither dismissed Hoschberg and Kozebrodski, nor concluded that Diemschutz discovered the body at 1.00.
Smith testified he saw Stride between 12:30 and 12:35 and that he was back at the start of his beat, the Harris corner at 1:00 - i.e. 25-30 minutes later - the time duration that he stated for his beat. This is the "exact" time Diemshitz testified he was at the same corner, but Smith's testimony did not support him. Lamb testified he was at the yard at, or before one. This does not support Diemshitz. If you're going with the people who were there on the scene and spoke to witnesses face to face, and then gave testimony that conflicted with Diemshitz, your only conclusion can be that they considered Diemshitz to be mistaken or that they were aware of the problem of clock time zones.
The police were not in a postion to dismiss the evidence of Hoschberg and Kozebrodski. The police were not there when the body was discovered, and the testimony they gave certainly did not support Diemshitz version of the event.
You are free to disagree with me on you last point, but realise that you are also disagreeing with the Jewish merchants who suffered property damage as a result of the previous murders and with Sir Charles Warren.
Cheers, George
