Hi all
What time do you think we can assume the fire in the grate might have been alight?
Considering Hutchinson (supposedly) saw nothing at 2.45am and Prater 1.30am
[Coroner] Did you hear beds or tables being pulled about?
Elizabeth Prater: None whatever. I went asleep, and was awake again at five a.m. I passed down the stairs, and saw some men harnessing horses. At a quarter to six I was in the Ten Bells.
Though it could have been burning at 5am and she might not have noticed it, although it would still be dark at that time and a fire would glow obviously in the dark.
If (eyes roll) these statements are true, could the ripper have stayed in her room so long and lit a fire between 4am-5am or 5am-6am and not worried about anyone else coming into the room?
Cheers
