Morse's suit

[Airmid]

Do we know what kind of suit Morse was wearing when he came over to Fall River?
In this newspaper article (http://lizzieandrewborden.com/Resources ... -1892c.htm, Mr. Davis' daughter describes it as a "light gray suit". I'm pretty sure I read something about Morse's suit in the sources too, but I can't find it anymore.
Do any of you remember something about it?

Airmid.

Yes! It was a gray suit which apparently he wore for all occasions and seasons. Maybe he was as "thrifty" as old Andrew.

Which reminds me...Some have made much of the fact that Morse apparently showed up the day before the murders for a visit of a few days with neither luggage, nor change of clothes, nor so much as a toothbrush. The implication being that perhaps Uncle John had nefarious purposes in showing up thus unannounced. But I wonder, if he was such a boon companion of Andrew's and had a penchant for showing up from time to time, if he did not keep a change of clothes or two and some personal hygiene gear stashed at 92 Second St. Perhaps in that dresser beside which Abby lay?
Then again...there IS his phenomenally detailed alibi.

That's pretty interesting! Hmmm...

If traveling light was not his usual habit, this tells me that Uncle John did not expect to spend the night there. Something delayed his departure. We know he went to visit his niece and nephew who were leaving that morning, so maybe he would've stayed over there.
Those who have the citations can comment on this explanation.

Morse claimed he could have gone back home on Wednesday on the Six O'Clock train. (Or six-thirty?) Well, sixish.

We don't know how long the Morse kids were in town visiting, nor how long they were at the Emery's, nor whether they stayed with other relatives. We don't know when they left New England to go home, either.

As I remember from reading the books over 2 years ago, on Thursday morning Morse was in a hurry to visit his niece and Nephew (married) as they were scheduled to leave FR and return out of state. But I don't have a perfect memory.
