In the photo of Millers court there are two sets of windows: I'm assuming that if's the right of the two, (and the lower right hand frame of that) which McCarthys assistant would have looked through when he saw Mary's body and also the same area from which you could open the door. Is this correct?
Where I'm still confused:
1) Where were the bed and table as seen in relation to the broken window? Were they directly accross from the window in a parallel fashion such as seen in MJK2? Meaning is what we see in MJK 2 the exact view that would have been gained looking through the window?
Looking at the room diagram this seems accurate to me, but I heard it suggested in my original thread that there was A THIRD SET OF WINDOWS directly above the bedsite table and next to the door, so when the assistant looked through he would be looking directly down (more or less) on Kelly's body.
2) In looking at the photo of Millers Court the bottom right window looks to far to reasonably unlatch the door.
WHY I CARE:
1) The fire was burning brightly (hot enough to melt the kettle), and based on the testimony of Cox, Pickett, Prater and Hutchinson I get the impression that Dorset street and the other surrounding streets were fairly packed with persons at all hours of the night. When I invision the Kelly murder I don't imagine this being a quite affair: I imagine much struggle and movement and I don't see someone in the throws of a violent lust murder being calm, composed and above all SILENT when he's hacking a body apart.
Given the hot (bright) fire, in a fairly traveled area, the almost certain noise... How likely is it that a blood soaked (how could he not be, none of the burned clothes were for men) killer in a hightened emotional state really got away without attracting any attention whatsoever? Is it atleast possible that Hutchinson who was known to be in the area, got a glimpse through the window and for whatever reason (likely fear of disbelief or accusal of himself by the police) didn't run to the nearest p.c.? And that is where he got such an increadible description?
2) I recall reading in the Mammoth Book of JTR that there was a missing key to 13 Millers Court (presumed to be in the possession of Barnett). I also recall that the door had to be broken in by McCarthy because it was locked after the murder. How would the killer have relatched the entry? Would he really be in such a calm and collected manner after what he did to think to reach through a broken window to lock it in increasingly brighter streets while needing to escape?
I'm sure I'm just missing information because these points just don't seem to fit to me. Any help is, as always, appreciated.
