Was Joe Barnettīs alibi accepted lightly?

[David Orsam]

Well, no search no sources. That is what I find all the time.

I was asking if you had a source my dear boy.

It transpires that you don't have a source.

What a shame.

[Pierre]

I have no intention of doing any searches my dear boy.

Do you have a reliable source for your statement or not?

Does the British Nespaper Archive have a reliable source for it?

Tell me when you have done your search.

Do you have a reliable source or reference for the statement "People used false alibis in 1888 and alibis were of course tested"?

My dear boy, do you have any source or reference for that statement?

Do a search in the British Newspaper Archive on the word alibi for the year 1888 and you will find the sources.

[David Orsam]

Depends on your own opinion probably.

Newspapers are reliable source material then?

He had an alibi-

he was playing wisk and was at his boarding house.

Hi Abby,

Do you have any source for that statement?

suspects often get away with false alibis.

Do you have any reference for that statement?

Why in the world would the police let his alibi go untested or take it lightly when he was the most likely suspect in one of the most gruesome murders in London history?

c.d.

Yes, why indeed.

Barnett was a suspect and questioned closely by police. He had an alibi-he was playing wisk and was at his boarding house. plus he didn't act suspiciously-cooperated with police and appeared at the inquest.

Now that being said. she had recently broken up with her, he was at her place earlier the night of her death, and suspects often get away with false alibis. plus the heart thing. he could have snuck out of his boarding house perhaps in the middle of the night. I still have him on my second tier of suspects.

[c.d.]

Did Barnett need an alibi?.Doesn't appear he was a suspect,and the fact he gave evidence of residence under oath,might have negated a need for a check.

Hello Harry,

He lived with the victim and was her lover with whom he quarreled. Surely that made him a suspect?

c.d.

They would have to know if Barnett can go in and out of Bullers between 2-5 A.M. without somebody knowing.He played whist until half past 12.I do not know about his employment though at that day.
Blotchy is the better suspect in Kelly's case - he could have returned to Miler's Court to kill. Here is a drunk woman,asleep,alone, who's door can be opened without a key.After the double event it was harder,because of more police, to roam the streets.
