Maiming Threats
SHERLOCK HOLMES SCEPTICAL OF THEIR GENUINENESS.
There has been no fresh case of horse-maiming in South Staffordshire. "Count von Darby" is evidently not likely to take precipitate action.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of "Sherlock Holmes," who look great interest in the new famous Edalji case, is greatly interested in the latest phase.
Sir Arthur, who is on holiday at Southsea, told a "Daily Express" representative that the new outrage was a result of the some bloodthirsty form of mania as inspired those of years ago. He was never quite satisfied that they were the work of a gang, and never satisfied that more than one person was engaged in them.
He did not know whether the postcards now received might be the work of a fake imitator.
