Reasons For Leaving Baskerville
Dear Sir Henry Baskerville, October, 1889

I know now that I am a suspect in the murder of Sir Charles, your uncle. So I would like to review all the events that could be of some importance to get me off the radar. Just so we are on the same terms. When you sent me the telegraph, as I have already told you, I was in the box room so Mrs. Barrymore received, and replied to it. Since then I have been preparing for your arrival. Just making the house warmer, and notifying the whole town of your arrival. Sorry I didn’t get to lightening up the Dining Room, I couldn’t get to it in time. I have barely left the hall since. Our reasons for leaving Baskerville Hall are solely because of our sorrow and grief. It is not that we are trying to get away from a murderer. I am appalled and slightly hurt you would think of me to have an affair. Even though it was that

My top two suspects are, Mr. Frankland, and Mr. Stapleton. Both very odd creations of god. I have been spying on these two while you and Watson were out. Mr. Frankland, who you might have been introduced to already, is an elderly choleric who lives roughly 4 miles away from the Hall. I went to him at about three on Sunday. He spends his days arguing for the sake of arguing, or sweeping the landscape with his giant telescope. Him and your uncle could’ve easily had a falling out that ended with someone getting killed because of his stubbornness. Then there is Mr. Stapleton. Very odd indeed. I visited him early in the morning the following Tuesday. He is a invested naturalist. I heard that he was overtly open with Watson when most residents of the moor, as you know, are confined and shy. He could be trying to find out what Watson knows and steer him off the trail. Stapleton’s great knowledge of the Moor and Mire it could let him navigate around and if Charles knew something he didn’t want getting out he could’ve killed

    I believe that Horace Throat commited the murder of Mr. Dusty Mantel at the Inn owned by Mrs. Eve Dropper. Although all the occupants of the Inn had it in for Dusty due to his immoral means and conniving ways, only one of them brought his life to a sudden end. Both Anita Mann, his girlfriend, and Chester Drauers were conspiring against him. She wanted out of the relationship because she was “tired of Dusty beating on her” and Drauers wanted the Tiffany Lamp because he had knowledge of its true value. Drauers told Anita that he would take care of everything and later after the auction he phoned the mob boss, Don Angelini, for a hit on Dusty. Don said it would take two days time and there would be a man. Since two days did not pass from this call and there was no other man or suspect I ruled out Drauers and Anita’s involvement in his death even though they had direct contact with his tea cup. OJ Glasse was being blackmailed by Dusty Mantel, about the second and final Will that he discovered on his dead brother’s desk. He works for the FBI as a bio-chemist and would probably have access to potassium cyanide, but he “couldn’t even kill a rat for an experiment”, not to mention there was no direct opportunity after Dusty left to change. Tiffany Glasse had been robbed of her father’s fortune by Dusty, yet, she did not seem to know about it. She did know that he had outbid her for her mothers beloved Tiffany Lamp from which she was named. Eve Dropper overheard them arguing and yelling at each other, presumably about the lamp. She wasn’t near his table before he died and she did not have the opportunity to poison Dusty. Eve dropper was my next suspect idea, but I too, ruled her out as the murderer. She had it all, motive, opportunity and Ability (to some extend). She was the reason he left the room to change and he was about to inform her about the foreclosure on the Inn. There was only one commonality with the rat poison and the tea cup: Sodium, an alkaloid. Although he…

    The letter was dated September 27th, 1888, only a month after the first murder connected to Jack the Ripper, meaning this was far from over. At first, the police thought nothing of the letter, thinking it was another Hoax, and was even believed that a journalist had written it to further stir up the story. In the letter, it mentioned the phrase ‘clipping the lady’s ear off’ and the next victim, Catherine Eddowes was found missing an earlobe, keeping true to his promise(Casebook.) Hundreds of letters where then sent in, copying the…
