When you look at the 1885 Beale Papers on its merits-when and where it was published, who was the printer, who holds the copyright ownership, the "borrowed" tales from other outside sources, ciphers similar to those employed by the Confederacy, the Risqué bloodline connection, it demonstrates that nothing is more deceptive than obvious fact."Once a again, is there any evidence outside of the pamphlet that can show the chain of custody of the ciphers and then the story from Beale to Morriss, then from Morriss to "unknown" author, and then from the "unknown" author to Ward and Sherman?"
Obviously, the only place that lengthy string exist is in the pamphlet story. We could only hope that we could eventually arrive at all of that outside of the pamphlet...
Suggesting that the author simply grabbed prior information in the writing of his story is easy to do.... it's a strong theory, and even one that I've not discounted... Maybe you should try to find that evidence outside of the pamphlet. A simple communication between Ward and Sherman, or even Hutter, in regards to their conspiring to write the story would do it...
