The article you referenced was to do with the Beale papers. Remember?

LOL! CHARLIE BUTTON, Editor & OWNER of the L'burg newspaper at that time, said that his SUB-EDITOR (John William Sherman), wrote the BEALE PAPERS PAMPHLET; it was in an article on Charlie & I will "post" the "addy" AGAIN for YOU... BBL!

Charles William Button (1822-1894): Lynchburg Daily Virginian. "Addy" not working... BUT! "Google" For good and bad Civil War editor was man of his times. The ORIGINAL newspaper article, News & Advance - Sunday, April 19, 2015 stated: "He (Button) ended his newspaper career with a bizarre interlude in which he sold the Daily Virginian to one of his sub-editors (John W. Sherman) who had earlier written a DIME NOVEL that may have sparked the BEALE TREASURE legend about a hoard of GOLD buried in Bedford. Button bought the paper back." (p. B3).

Joe must have had "actual documents" as proof for the statement of Charles W Button. :thumbsup:

Joe Stinnett is a respected journalist and I seriously doubt that his mention of Button's comment about Sherman having "written a dime novel that may have sparked the Beale treasure" was an idle punctilio statement.
 

Let's see... BPP/JP started out at 50 cents a pamphlet; dropped down to 10 cents a pamphlet... YEP, a DIME NOVEL! Heh...

If it was originally written to sell for 50 cents, then how could it have been written as a dime novel? Wouldn't that have been a 50 cent novel? :laughing7:
 

One did mention of having "actual documents", not something compiled by other researchers- the answer must lie with him.
 

"...I beg that you will not let any false or idle punctilio to prevent your recieving..."

This is the WE001 code created by George Washington's spymaster, Benjamin Tallmadge, and used throughout the Revolutionary War.

doi morris used........
Morris used code WE011 to explain the critical financial situation. WE011 had 660 elements,
which was less than older WE001, but WE011 was a two-part code. Further, single letters and
syllables were included in the list, thus eliminating the need of a supplemental substitution table.

NOTE: This is Robert Morris Jr, a Declaration Of Independence signer, and NOT the Robert Morriss character of the 1885 Beale Papers.
