Might explain his change of mind.
It had stopped raining for well over an hour from 11am.
BS man may have eaten the grapes.
Reckon BS man was Liz's bodyguard.
It was after he left that Jack struck.

Not only that, Berner Street was a route to the Swedish church, a little father south, that she visited regularly.
Plus I seem to recall one paper quoting a policeman says she was known for soliciting in the general area.

Charles Warren interviewed Packer on 4th October at Scotland Yard.
Packer had already identified Stride's corpse and been interviewed by a few people involved in the case.
Perhaps Chuckie and Mattie had tea and scones and discussed the weather....but not of "that night".
Say hi to the Gruff family for me,next time you have a tete a tete.

What did Warren know about interrogation?, Abberline was the interrogation officer, not the Commissioner.
Two ne'er-do-well private detectives are going to get an audience at a moments notice with the Commissioner of Police?
This just gets better....

There are conflicting newspaper stories about Stride's character.
Many are to her benefit.
A Club member told the Inquiry that soliciting was not a problem in their immediate vicinity.
Packer was interrogated by Warren.
Any other witness get that treatment!
Like Mary Kelly,there are curious clues that have not been looked at.
Dr. Phillips inspected Stride at least twice and came away with very detailed evidence for the Inquiry.
The very thing that gave her the name of Hip Lip Liz was not mentioned.
Cachous are an astringent medicine for that particular condition.
Phillips would have known that.

This ,of course, was specifically in regard to the fuss the newspaper article about Le G and B created.

Originally posted by Tom_Wescott View Postit gets argued that Packer sold Stride and a man grapes in spite of the wealth of evidence proving that untrue, including Packer's own denial to the police. But if for some reason a writer wants grapes or wants to create a cover-up where none existed, then they'll argue that Packer was a victim of corrupt policing. It spins the head.

Originally posted by Joshua RoganI agree almost completely, but are you sure she lived at Devonshire St with Kidney for years? She was apparently well known at the 32 Flower & Dean St lodging house, having lived there on and off for "most of the last six years", although she'd just moved back after a prolonged absence. That's according to Thomas Bates, the watchman, interviewed by the Star, 1st Oct.
He is quoted as saying of Stride;
"Lor' bless you, when she could get no work she had to do the best she could for her living, but a neater and a cleaner woman never lived."
So it seems she was very much in the habit of taking care or her appearance, not just on this one night.

Originally posted by John G View PostHi Jeff,
Yes, it's strange he appears to have forgotten about the Lawende sighting. However, he was a City Police witness, so would Abberline have had any involvement in the Eddowes murder inquiry?
Of course, he must have known about Lawende initially, if only from the press reports, but his recollection may have been defective. And Lawende didn't exactly come across as a very inspiring witness at the time, stating that he doubted he would recognize the suspect again. So maybe, when trying to recall events several years later, he assumed that he had only seen the suspect from the back. In fact, could he have got the suspect mixed up with Lawende's sighting of Eddowes, who he clearly only got a back view of?

Originally posted by Tom_Wescott View PostThere's this myth that Stride 'made herself up' that has been going around for years. I believe this stems from the fact that many of the victims were essentially homeless and wore/carried all their belongings with them. But Stride had lived in her own place with Kidney for years and possessed good clothes. That's why the press says she doesn't look like she's from the area and there was speculation that she'd been lured there from the west side. But there's no suggestion that she looked any better that day than on any given weekend. That's just the clothes she had. What I thought was most interesting is that even though she rarely lived in the lodging house, she was able to waltz in and get paid by the deputy to do cleaning. This must have stirred the ire of longer term residences who were not so cozy with the deputy. But this idea that she got gussied up with a date for a secret boyfriend falls flat when it becomes clear she was seen with different men that evening.
