Sherlock Beale And The Case Of The Missing Facts

[bigscoop]

The Beale mystery needs to be thought of as an, “alleged crime.” What I mean by this is simply the following;


In this case there is no verified suspect, no verified accomplices, no verified victim/victims, actually there's no verified evidence of any kind. And last, there's not even any verification that a crime was ever committed. A defense lawyer's dream case, for sure, and a prosecutor's absolute nightmare that would likely get him disbarred.

"Allegedly"...? LOL! We STILL don't know about Jack (the Ripper) now, DO WE...?

At least they could confirm the crimes! lol With this Beale thing, not a single thing can be confirmed in regards to the alleged events in the narration. I just wish someone would actually find something to something, for better or for worse, true or fiction, just anything to confirm something in regards to those alleged events or the author's planted fiction, whatever the case might be.

The most overlooked question is why this "unknown" author waited until all the possible witnesses to the events in the story had passed away to contact Ward to "act" as agent of copyright, and why Ward applied for copyright on borrowed stationary with only the works title supplied to the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.
Was the "authentic statements" in the Beale Papers still being created during the application period?

COULD BE!

 

[bigscoop]

"Could be" many reasons, one being as simple as they had no idea what they were doing when they applied for copyright. Who can say.......

 

[ECS]

...or that they were still writing it after the last witness to events had passed away.

 

[Rebel - KGC]

Well, I DO believe that "they" WERE "polishing it up" (Beale PAPERS Pamphlet) for PUBLIC Review & ENTERTAINMENT...

"Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains, must be the truth". Sherlock Holmes/Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
...and the truth is that this perilous adventure and treasure of Beale only existed in the pages of Ward's copyrighted 1885 Beale Papers job print pamphlet.

Just an opinion... NOT proof.

Well, in Old City Cemetery in Lynchburg, Va., there is a plaque that sezs the Beale Treasure was buried within it. City employees DID dig there... BUT! All they found was horse shoes, nails, & clothes hanger (FACTS); they shoulda dug DEEPER, because sometimes, "treasure" is buried under metal "trash" to "throw off" primitive MD... AND! NO further digging in OCC, as "Mr. D" will get ya! Heh..

Another place is on Porter's Mountain; has "pic" of items found (belt buckle, etc) from digging in a cave, near where Buford's Tavern was; NO Treasure found, tho.

 

[Rebel - KGC]

At least, the items are SOMETHING...

... but NOT necessarily connected to the Beale story.
Like 30 gal Boone's Salt Works brine iron pots, dropped coins, empty wine bottles, all wishful speculation.
It seems that some will attribute anything dug from the ground in Bedford county as "evidence" and "proof" of Beale's perilous adventure and treasure.
Any day now, someone will turn a cave into a tourist attraction as "THE CAVE" used by farmers to store produce, but rejected by Beale as not suitable to hide the Party's treasure.

 

[bigscoop]

It's not like cast iron pots were rare back in the day......would have been rare if someone didn't have one or more of them. So here again, let's convict everyone who possessed a cast iron pot.

 

[Rebel - KGC]

Just opinions...

Stories were stated to be "connected" to the "Beale Story"... dunno.

Stories without backing evidence, are just stories.

 

[bigscoop]

While I won't reveal it, there is an official document, dated 1815, that is from a Thomas Beale to Pierre Lafitte. Why won't I reveal it? Because I'm amazed that nobody else has found it yet, or made reference to it. And also because it still does not directly make tie to the Beale tale. All it does is establish that a Thomas Beale knew Pierre Laffite, nothing more.

LOL! Define "Backing Evidence"...
