Annie Chapman

John Evans "
"I last saw her there on Saturday morning, and she left at about a quarter to two o'clock. I was sent down in the kitchen to see her, and she said she had not sufficient money. When she went upstairs I followed her, and as she left the house, I watched her go through a court called Paternoster-street, into Brushfield-street, and then turn towards Spitalfields Church".

Long saw Chapman with a man and they ended in the backyard.

What was Eddowes doing in Mitre square with the "sailor man" early in the morning.
What was Kelly doing with Blotchy?

Silly.It's c;ear they were prostituting.part-time or not.There was nothing wrong being a prostitute,that's what was only available to get money
.Still with "dignity",at least they did not swindle anybody.

That last bit has to go down as being your personal opinion of the overall matter, but in fact there is evidence in ONLY 2 cases that victims were soliciting when they met their killer. No evidence Liz was, no evidence Kate was, nor is there any evidence Mary was. Polly admitted "earning and spending" that last night, and Annie told her friend that she needed to pull herself together so she could get doss money. In the case of Mary Kelly we know she hasn't been working the streets as much in the time leading up to the crime,..she has about 2 weeks arrears on her room.

This seems like some innocuous and just a matter of opinion, but to me its a critical point. If they were soliciting, then the idea they met a stranger posing as a client fits naturally. If not....what was Liz doing there and why was she groomed and dressed nicely, who was this sailor man that Kate met up with and what had she planned to do..other than heading in the direction of Kelly, that is. And if Marys killer was in her room with her permission when he struck, then the possible "stranger" element is eliminated.

The randomness of the first 2 attacks seems to suggest an opportunistic killer and someone who likely preferred to target middle aged women who had diminished capacity in one way or another. Polly it seems was drunk, and Annie was ill.
