One on one with Stephen Senise

Meep! Meep!

[Joshua Rogan]

You know what these artistic types are like - bunch of psychpaths!
Besides, this one's middle name is Wylie. Which is probably why he was never caught.

[Sam Flynn]

But could Toppy draw?

He could certainly paint an impressive picture.

The Conan Doyle illustrator George Hutchinson surely isn't the down-at-heel witness from the Victoria Home. Besides, the last thing we need is yet another (quasi) celebrity, and an artist to boot, to be dragged into the ripperological mire.

[Joshua Rogan]

Ah, but Toppy was Hutch... as far as I'm concerned, at least.

But could Toppy draw?

Incidentally, wasn't MJK said to be a bit of an artist? Maybe that's how her and (this) Hutch became acquainted?

[Sam Flynn]

Top find Simon - or should that be Toppy find?

Morning Advertiser 13th Nov
"The court is being held in a small committee-room on the ground floor, a place altogether inadequate for so important an inquiry."

Echo 12th
"the Court was mainly occupied by the Jury and newspaper representatives.
Only a few of the public could be admitted, in consequence of the want of space, the larger hall in the building not being placed at the Coroners' disposal, for some reason not explained."

I can't find it now but I believe another report gives the reason that the rather spacious main hall was unavailable, which was that it was being refurbished, or repaired.

Thanks Joshua, yes I seem to recall a figure like 6 or 7 members of the public in attendance. It was a small number, regardless.

On or off topic, I still seem to make people a bit cross!

Anyone who would get cross with you has mental issues.

But I was just addressing your comment from your earlier post where you wrote-
"We also know from the research of Chris Scott, and her own statement that Sarah Lewis lived in Great Pearl Street. "
I thought this may give people the wrong impression, given that Chris did an ID of Sarah Lewis. He didn't link his Sarah Lewis to Great Pearl Street.

Thanks Debs, I should have worded it different.

Hi Debs!!

There were Keylers living at 8 Diamond Court in 1871. This was a court leading off Great Pearl Street between numbers 22 and 24.

No researcher has linked a Gallagher/Keylor family to No.2 either.
Renters don't always leave a traceable record.

I'm not sure that any researcher has ever linked a woman named Sarah Lewis to the actual address of 24 Great Pearl Street given by the witness Sarah Lewis in her police statements.

No researcher has linked a Gallagher/Keylor family to No.2 either.

Hi Richard,

It may be something. It may be nothing.

But it sure provides a suitable name for Abberline's imaginary witness.

Regards,

Simon

Hi Simon.
Wow, that is one coincidence , the dates are there, one of the main witnesses name is there.
Trouble is,.. any significance ?
Regards Richard.
