Re: THE "GERMAN" CLUES

djui,
To call this list an "Original" list of clues would just not be right. But I think I know what you mean by your use of the word. "The list as it appeared before it was altered and added to" right?
I was not given a copy of the list, and I don't think Clay was either.
I could probably make a recreation of it from memory, but if I did, that list would be forever traceable to me, and I do not want my name associated with any list of German Clues.
I can only assume that the source of the clues was changed from a letter, to Herman, because "someone" else thought it made more sense also. Whoever that was didn't stop to think how utterly naive it was, to expect everyone to believe that Herman, would be passing that kind of information over to the Holmes camp.
