This is how the author claims he numbered the ciphers, according to their length, this he claims he did before he proceeded to attempt to decode them. But here's the thing, how did he know that the original coder had even numbered the ciphers 1,2,3? As far as he knew before this point is that inside the iron box there would be some letters and some unintelligible pieces of paper that, only with the correct key, would they direct him to the vault's location and the residences of those who were deserving. Let's see, that's only two pieces of information and no specific references at all to 1,2,3. This 1,2,3 reference doesn't come along until after he claims that he decoded C2, only then did he encounter references to numbered ciphers. So how did the pamphlet author even know that the ciphers were numbered, or that they needed to be numbered? Did Beale tell him in one of his letters that inside the box would be found cipher 1, cipher 2, and cipher 3, and then go on to explain exactly which cipher contained what? NO!!!!!
In fact, Beale never even offers hint as to how many pieces of unintelligible papers would be in the iron box. So "hook, line, and sinker," as even today true believers are still taking the bait and being reeled into the net and carted away onto to the frying pan.
