Who Killed Julia Wallace? - New Evidence

[moste]

Yawn...

"Also Wallace walked past Caird's home on his way to the first tram stop on the night of the murder...."

NOPE.

You see, anyone who knows the area, or is a real researcher of the case, understands that no-one would take that unnecessary, fanciful route.

Because there was an alley next to 24 Richmond Park (next to the Church Institute) which leads into Sedley Street, A left turn into Pendennis Street, then a right into Castlewood Road leads to Belmont Road where Wallace caught a Number 26 tram on the night of the murder.

The correct alley route is the one filmed in the excellent "Man from the Pru" film... (excellent when it sticks to facts, less so with its flights of fancy)

Oh, and I do hope all those sock-puppets who spent a thread talking gibberish to themselves took their one chance offered by the Mods to fess-up?

Does this work for you Sherlock H?

[moste]

That's because he does. The very best out of anyone but the Johnstons and Holmes or anyone else on that strip of houses.

He can watch one way from his actual home.

He wouldn't have to watch both entrances anyway, but if someone did, at WORST it's one turn. They only have to stand at the bottom of Richmond Park, NOT on the Breck Road end, the other side.

Caird can’t watch anything down his own street because the houses are staggered , as in, not aligned.

Yes I know the route, it's stated very clearly in Hussey's book, are you familiar with that one? Brief memory lapse my end.

Hussey's theory is okay (that someone posed as Qualtrough to sneakily steal from the house), it just doesn't work with one person for obvious reasons. Better you have someone in the front and the back.

Hussey's "Mr. Qualtrough" in the front, somebody else in the back. Then a case can be made for that. I wish Antony had put some thought into it and made the idea into something feasible because it can work, but it seems like he chose to copy two previous authors without expanding upon their idea which is disappointing. That's capitalism though... Publishers want, authors deliver, all about the bottom line!

I am also saddened about the miss of the importance that McCartney asked at the club where Wallace lived, which he answers, because that event is very important for potential readers.

Chess club members have the means to carry out this act if Wallace gave his address in that club (because he also spoke extensively about details of his trip). Caird has the most of all of course, due to the facts listed.

Caird is criminally underinvestigated... Seeing as he knows Wallace's business, the client he's meeting, the time of the appointment, the location of the appointment, the route he's going to take, the interior of Wolverton Street to a remarkable degree, and can verify Wallace's receipt of the call.

Adding to this he was not expected on the Monday, but regularly attended on Thursdays when Parry would be there, and had at least 2 mutual acquaintances with Parry who is the best suspect as the caller.

From previous posts I was under the delusory impression that Caird, was living in a location that gave him a perfect sentry position for comings and goings at the Wallace household. Clearly from your map, WWH, this is not the case, in fact in order to reconnoiter Wallace’s home , it would be necessary to negotiate a couple of street turns , and then only be able to observe one entrance to the Wolverton home.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks for posting these SH

Excuse my nitpicking here WWH, but the distance from Wallace's front door to Caird's front door is almost exactly 160 yards, which takes about a minute and a half. I know, I walked it last night with my little dog Max. 30 seconds if you're a Linford Christie.

The homes are notably close as to make travel between them extremely trivial, especially in a hurry... Your time is about right for a leisurely/average walking pace, but for some reason your wording and time makes the homes seem much farther from each other than reality.

They're basically neighbours:

The route from the back of Wallace's to Caird's (the escape route) is illustrated by the red line. If he went home first then to Wallace's he'd possibly go to the front door, though we can't be 100% sure of what precisely took place (e.g. in a distraction robbery someone unknown to Julia would probably be at the front door and an accomplice in the back) or whether Caird himself did anything more than ensure receipt of the call IF he's even involved at all.

It should just be kept in mind that he is a very underinvestigated lead in the case, and on facts alone and nothing more, he is the most likely candidate for involvement in the crime if Wallace is innocent. We can establish he has ALL knowledge and means necessary to have taken part, and know for a fact he was around the home within the window of time Julia died in. We do not know those things factually in the case of any other suspect, but with Caird it's all proven.

Also Wallace walked past Caird's home on his way to the first tram stop on the night of the murder. There's not enough investigation on Caird to refute or know for sure when he arrived home, but if he (or an accomplice/friend/family member) was at his Letchworth Street home, they could quite literally watch Wallace go on the trip from the window lol. They would actually see him walk by... And Caird knew which route Wallace was going to take since he (Caird) questioned him on it, in a rather pressing manner actually.

Caird, on the night of the murder, said he was at his home (which is of course 30 seconds from Wallace's house) by 7.45 PM. It's in the police files.

Hi Sherlock,

Im a complete cave man when it comes to technology but I have an iPad (wasted on me) so I don’t know if that has anything to do with those articles not appearing?

Hi HS,

For some mysterious reason they have now done a vanishing act. Gremlins in the works. I'll try posting each related article separately in chronological order a little later today and see if that's successful. They certainly give revealing pause for thought about Parry's and Lily Fitzsimon's characters.

[Herlock Sholmes]

Hi HS,
Maybe try again a little later. Just logged in and they are showing up on my laptop.
