The Abberline Diaries

[Herlock Sholmes]

Just a question that surfaced when reading barnflatwyngardes post:

Was there ever any diary, written by a person of fame, that was discovered only after that persons death - and that was NOT a fake? Hitler, Mussolini, Maybrick, Abberline ...

Hi Fish,

Hope you enjoyed Norway.

Let's hope a Lechmere Diary never surfaces because we can guess who will get the blame

Folks,
I am listening to the latest, excellent, Rippercast, and Paul Begg refers in passing to the so called "Abberline Diaries" as used by Melvyn Fairclough to support his "Royal Conspiracy" theory in his book "The Ripper and the Royals".

Has anyone apart from Mr Fairclough ever seen these "diaries"?

Is it now generally accepted that these "diaries" were faked by Joseph Sickert?

It would appear so.
