"In 1909, Oscar Slater, a German Jew of uncertain occupation, was sentenced to death in Edinburgh for the brutal murder of an old Glasgow lady. He had been arrested in New York, travelling under a false name. This is the story of how he was reprieved, how he spent a life-time in prison and how he lived to see his original, unjust conviction quashed in 1928.

"This dreadful case remains a mystery. In this entirely fresh study Peter Hunt has had access to a mass of hitherto unpublished documents, drawn chiefly from the archives of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who spared nothing and no one in his efforts to get Slater released." (Jacket)

"The cause was supported by the legal press and eventually an appeal, financed by Conan Doyle, was heard in 1927. Slater was freed and awarded £6,000 though he never repaid Doyle the £1,000 he had put up. Slater married and lived in Ayr until his death in 1948."

He worked tirelessly, with others, for nineteen years to effect the release of Slater, who was unjustly convicted of murder in Scotland in 1908. The miscarriage of justice was monumental, and the article highlights the proceedings of the case, which contrasts itself vividly with the administration of law and justice as we know it today.

"1890-1891 were pivotal years for Conan Doyle. During this period he became restless with his life, impetuously travelling to Berlin to investigate Koch's tuberculin cure; abruptly leaving his general practice in Southsea; going to Vienna with the intent to study ophthalmology; briefly opening an oculist's office in London; demitting from medical practice; and launching into a phenomenal career as a full-time writer. He was a man of exceptional energy, enthusiasm, curiosity and talent who was now well on his way to becoming one of the best known men in the world."

Canadian professor Dr. Alvin E. Rodin spent several days in Portsmouth and Southsea in 1982 and exploded the myth that Doyle was a struggling, starving doctor who took up writing as a way of improving his financial circumstances. The evidence shows that he was actually a successful physician and only left Southsea because he was getting bored with general practice and, also, wanted more time for writing, which was his first love.

"Best known as a writer of detective fiction, Arthur Conan Doyle was formally trained as a physician and practiced medicine from 1881 to 1891. He wrote articles on several medical subjects as well as an extensive thesis on tabes dorsails for an MD degree. The thesis is a comprehensive and well-written summation of the subject. Its literary qualities were as unique to scientific writing in his day as they would be today."

C4668. Rodin, Alvin E., and Jack D. Key. "Doctor Arthur Conan Doyle's Patients in Fact and Fiction," Medical Heritage, 1, No. 2 (March-April 1985), 80-98. illus.

Information from various sources was gathered on 38 patients seen by Doyle while he was a practitioner in Southsea Portsmouth (1882-1890) and thereafter. A review of his writings, both Canonical and other, reveals a marked concordance between fact and fiction, including specific diseases, nature of patient/ physician encounters, and personalities of patients. Thus it is evident that Doyle drew heavily on his medical training and experience for his writing, not only transferring the investigative orientation of medicine to Sherlock Holmes, but also including actual medical practice events in many of his fictional works.

"The discovery in 1909 of Iguanodon footprints in the Wealden Beds at Crowborough, Sussex, excited the attention of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and served as a stimulus to his writing of The Lost World. One of the footprints was illustrated in a later edition of this work, done in the form of an expedition report -- the only published report of the find."

C4687. Bonheim, Helmut. "Sherlock Holmes in Canada," SHJ, 16, No. 4 (Summer 1984), 116-118.

Resemblances between Amos Green and de Catinat in The Refugees and the Great Detective. At a time when Doyle wanted to get away from Holmes and try his mettle in what he thought of as a more elevated literary genre, he repeatedly reverted to the characteristic gestures of the genre that had made his name a household word.

C4688. Campbell, Karen. "The Adventure of the Monmouth Rebellion," CH, 8, No. 2 (Winter 1984), 7-11.

Striking similarities between Holmes and Decimus Saxon, who fought in the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685 (Micah Clarke), suggest that Saxon was Holmes's great-great-great-great grandfather. The author ends her excellent paper by recommending that "when you have finished the Canon and want more Holmes, do not go to the pastiches. Go back to Doyle. Go back to The White Company and The Lost World and Micah Clarke, and you will find Holmes and Watson there more certainly than you ever will in any 1970's potboiler. Of course the characters will have similarities! They were all created by the same man: imbued with his values and ideals," which Campbell expresses in a moving poem, in eight stanzas, entitled "They Served the Cause of Justice."

The following is the first stanza: "Conan Doyle made many people -- / the creations of his pen -- / and the whole world came to love them / even more so now than then. / How did Doyle succeed in winning / where the other writers failed? / It was for their love of justice / that the men of Doyle were hailed."

C4699. Fleissner, Robert F. "The Original Baker Street Mystery," CH, 12, No. 3 (Spring 1989), 19-25.

When does the Canon really begin? "Uncle Jeremy's Household" has clear raw material relating to Sherlockian stories, including notably Baker Street, a Watson-like narrator, a strong-willed woman looking ahead to Irene Adler, a prototype of Holmes in Hugh Lawrence, and specific correlations with Spec and Sign. Correlations with Dickens, notably David Copperfield and The Mystery of Edwin Drood, are indirectly germane; also ones with Wilkie Collins.

C4700. Goslin, Vernon. "`We Used Something of the Sort Before,'" SHJ, 14, Nos. 3-4 (Summer 1980), 106.

Doyle's other short stories bear some interesting resemblances to the Canonical tales; e.g., the repetition of surnames and plots. They should be read by all Sherlockian students, especially the last twelve stories that appear under the general title "Tales of Long Ago" in The Conan Doyle Stories (John Murray, 1929).

C4701. Heleno, Carlos. "The Lost World Regained," BSM, No. 71 (Fall 1992), 12-20; No. 72 (Winter 1992), 1-10.

A study of the major subjects influencing Doyle's writings, including the Victorian conceptualizations of evolution, anthropology, archaeology, and extinction, as well as a look at the popularity of the "lost world" theme in early science fiction writings, the characters' human models, and the literary elements of style and comedy -- all in an attempt to regain the Doyle of The Lost World.

Attention is drawn to many striking parallels between Holmes and Watson and Hugh Lawrence and J. H. Thurston of "Uncle Jeremy's Household," a Doyle story that ran in B. O. P. several months before the publication of Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887. Further comments by the author appear in SHJ, 8, No. 2 (Spring 1967), 58.

C4703. Kiser, J. David. "A Case of Identity: Was Watson Jephson?" BSJ, 30, No. 2 (June 1980), 98.

Similarities between the mystery of the Marie Celeste, published under the title "J. Habukuk Jephson's Statement," edited by Doyle (The Cornhill Magazine, January 884), and the Canonical tales suggest that Watson, under the name "J. Habakuk Jephson, M.D.," also wrote this earlier story. The story of the Marie Celeste could have been one related to Watson by Holmes himself, and is in itself reminiscent of the Alicia (Thor) and Sophy Anderson (Five).

The Doyle of the mid-twenties was altogether different from the Doyle who took pains, and even pleasure, in writing the Holmes stories. He had become a kindly but nevertheless egocentric literary giant, trying to persuade a slow-witted world of his own supreme discovery."

A well-researched and balanced account of Doyle's devotion to spiritualism. Hall also presents an unconvincing but nevertheless interesting case that the stories in The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes were actually written before Doyle's conversion to spiritualism in 1916. These stories were rejected by the author because they did not meet his high standards. Later, when Doyle needed additional money to further the cause of spiritualism, he agreed to let Greenhough Smith publish them. This would explain the contradictions between Doyle's pre- and post-1916 writings, such as Holmes's remark in Suss, published in 1924, that "this Agency stands flat-footed upon the ground, and there it must remain. The world is big enough for us. No ghosts need apply."

The article discusses Doyle's visit to Winnipeg in 1923 on behalf of Spiritualism, including his arrival, his attendance at various seances, his recollection of a baseball game, and his speech before the local literary society. It also analyzes the criticism of Doyle that appeared in the local press and his response to it.

C4783. Homer, Michael W. "`Recent Psychic Evidence': The Visit of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to Utah in 1923," Utah Historical Quarterly, 52, No. 3 (summer 1984), 264-274.

When Doyle brought his spiritualist crusade to Utah in 1923 he was apprehensive because he knew that the predominantly Mormon population was opposed to his spiritualist ideas and because Stud was patterned after contemporary sensationalist accounts of the Utah religion, including attacks on autocratic authority, polygamy, and avenging angels. Furthermore, several years before his visit he had renewed his attacks on the "murderous impulses" of the "early Mormons in Utah" in a book written to advance the cause of spiritualism.

Nevertheless, despite these problems, Doyle's visit to Utah was successful. More than 5,000 people attended his presentation in the Salt Lake Tabernacle to hear him proselyte the cause of spiritualism and relate his experiences which he felt proved the existence of life beyond death. Although his spiritualist message had been criticized by the Mormon press several years before his visit, nothing but positive comments were made about him during his visit to Salt Lake City, even by the Mormon-controlled Desert News. However, one non-Mormon doctor did ask Doyle to apologize for his uncomplimentary characterization of 19th century Mormonism contained in Stud. In response, Doyle acknowledged that his account of early Mormonism was perhaps "rather sensation and over colored" but he refused to apologize, stating that he would rather speak of Mormonism as he found it on his visit to Utah rather than speculate on what may have been. True to his word, Doyle spoke favorably of Utah and its people in his book, Our Second American Adventure, and even stated that "the world would be none the worse in consequence" of the spread of Mormonism.

Doyle maintained a lengthy correspondence with Miss Ada Besinnet (c.1889-1936), a prominent socialite and spiritualist medium who lived in Toledo, Ohio. They met in 1921 during her six month residence in London at the invitation of the British College of Psychic Science. Sir Arthur and Lady Conan Doyle invited her to their Sussex home for a weekend. She held a special séance in which contact was established with their departed relatives. In 1922 Doyle travelled to America for the first of two extended speaking tours on behalf of spiritualism. A highlight of the trip was a visit to Toledo and another séance with Besinnet. On his second lecture tour in 1923 Doyle returned to Toledo for a séance and also met her in New York for yet another sitting. Harry Houdini wrote to Besinnet several times, requesting a séance. Doyle advised her to refuse to meet with Houdini and Besinnet heeded Doyle's advice.

"There are interesting similarities between Conan Doyle and Hamilton. Both were practising physicians, although the former practised for only some ten years. Both were ardent investigators of psychic phenomena, as were their wives. They became greatly engrossed in the subject, and although both wrote and lectured on it, Conan Doyle's activities were much more extensive and evangelistic. This may be the reason why his reputation appears to have suffered, and why Hamilton's did not."
