The Diary does mention Lowry asking for the book “long before” the Kelly murder. It’s before his visit to Michael at the “end of June”.
So he’d have waited about six months before returning the pages and/or the “items” in them.

In the Diary, Lowry "makes him" rip out the pages after the MJK murder.
So if Maybrick was using the inside cover as a cutting board, then the stains obviously wouldn't get on his confession.
Barrett must have done the same. Good thinking! Leave just one page just in case it's still wet which it would probably be in his case.

"I send you half the Kidne I took from one women prasarved it for you tother piece I fried and ate it was very nise"

Wow, it looks like I'm actually going to the one who has to write this. Help! Help!
Maybe we should have a Buwler-Lytton contest on a "wet weekend". Best narrative that begins with "It was a dark and stormy night" wins.

4. We (actually I and no one else) can concoct—I mean construct—a seamless narrative of how Michael Barrett created his masterpiece.
The story is “analogued” in my head. I assure you there are no holes or seams visible and it will explain everything. Now I just have to get it down in the casebook. It might take a while but just be patient. I’ll just set the opening scene:
It was a dark and stormy night one wet weekend…

Yes, it was in the library so he could have found it with five hours of research. But, around here, five hours of research constitutes a "Library Miracle". So we can rule that out. There are no miracles!

As you said, it's important to be fair. That means you have to be able to suspend disbelief and see things the way the other side sees it, if only for five minutes. So here goes:
The proof that Michael Barrett wrote the Diary
1. He had it in his possession.
PS Possession is 9/10ths of the law.Last edited by Lombro2; 02-13-2025, 05:04 PM.

Come over to the proper thread and let us all know why you are conceding that the scrapbook is a hoax when you know deep down it ain't.
