The new Wall Writing photo discovery – a joint statement

[Tom_Wescott]

Holy crap, Hutch writes only his second post on this site and he's placed under a gag order. I'm tempted to go ahead and post the photo here myself.

And how about some congratulations to John Bennett and Laura Prieto for being the ones who discovered the photo.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Apologies to those working on this find for "outing" it. I didn't want the Police sitting on it or worse "losing" it. Had I known of your involvement I would have left it alone.

It could be the most important in 124 years. I look forward to you publishing your research.

Hutch,

Please don't beat yourself up over this.

The announcement comes secondary to the content. What is important to Rob and I is that the truth of what happened and why is maintained and not clouded.

Hence our statement.

We would hate to think that you feel you have done some great wrong, you haven't. As stated on another thread its a risk all researchers take.

What is important is that we establish what is known, hence my mail to you.

Finally we appreciate your gesture in not commenting until release, whilst that is your choice we must admit it will help for now.

Thank you

Cheers
Monty

Hello MB, Jason. If you need patience, try dealing with an archive. Last I heard, Methuselah was still waiting on a university archive for copies. (heh-heh)

In ripper studies, something is ready whenever it is ready. And after 124 years . . .

Cheers.

Thank you Chris, and everyone else.

Yes, we shall endeavour to present it properly, with research, which can properly be debated across all forums and mediums.
