That is an interesting suggestion.

Please see this thread about a leading candidate to be the witness Israel Schwartz.

Thank you for highlighting this link.

I find it rather compelling and intriguing.

Excellent research!

Why would Stride tell Elizabeth Tanner the deputy at 32 Flower and Dean Street that she has been living with her man at Fashion Street and not Dorset street. Tanner says that she often saw her in the 3 months before her murder. (Inquest evidence)

This seems to be evidence that Stride was a liar

OR

there is a connection to Fashion Street that needs exploring.

Yes, Fashion Street (or Court?) is more important a location than we realize.

Both Stride and Eddowes mention it...and they were both murdered on the same night (morning)


Did Stride have a new lover, and if so, did her new lover (post-Kidney) live in Fashion Street?


Fashion Street connects both victims, but not just in the typical "lodging house" way.


There's more to uncover here.

I very much doubt whatever is uncovered will help in any way solve the 135 year old mystery

Who supposed the second man was an accomplice? Swanson's report states "Schwartz cannot say whether the two men were together or known to each other". It's almost as though Schwartz gave further evidence at some point.

That is an interesting suggestion.

When doubts were raised about the story, perhaps the police requestioned Schwartz in an attempt to obtain additional information.

The Star, Oct 2: In the matter of the Hungarian who said he saw a struggle between a man and a woman in the passage where the Stride body was afterwards found, the Leman-street police have reason to doubt the truth of the story. They arrested one man on the description thus obtained, and a second on that furnished from another source, but they are not likely to act further on the same information without additional facts.

It would seem that one man was arrested based on his appearance (I guess he must have been wearing a peaked cap), but the other man was arrested "on that furnished from another source". I take that to mean a description that did not come from Schwartz. How is that possible? Schwartz told Abberline that he and the two men were the only men on the street. So, who was the other source? Perhaps it was Fanny Mortimer's description of black bag man.
