The man who saw woman who looked like Stride, on the corner of Berner,Fairclogh, streets talking to a man with a long overcoat on was indeed Mr Brown. He gave the time as 12:30, he saw nothing of the mans appearance, as he had his back to him, this is exactly what a would be killer would have done, turn his back to any one walking past. Remember when Lawende saw Eddowes with the killer, he presented his back to him in the same way. Brown heard the man say "will you", to which Stride replied "not tonight some other night", if this was the Ripper, was he suggesting that they retire to her lodgings? The Ripper knew that it was only a matter of time before someone disturbed him at his work, he was very lucky that no one stumbled on him the night he murdered Chapman. Could he have asked his victims if they had their own lodgings, he certainly asked Kelly his next victim after the double event. Stride was known to have told lies, through her vanity could she have told overcoat man initialy that she had lodgings, then when he pressed her she replied "not tonight some other night", remember she had consented to sex so she wasn't refusing him that. As regards this mans long coat the copper in Berner St. and Packer both said the person they saw with Stride had on an overcoat and all three sightings at approx., the same time. I know this seems far fetched but if true, you can link overcoated man with the Ripper. As for soiling on your own doorstep Monty, i think think the ripper definetly lived within a short walk of all his victims, say 10 to 15 minutes walk, the police at the time thought this too.
