far as number of edits, although I suspect this article was transferred from a userspace draft), I usually keep the changes down to minor revisions and additions of material. It wasn't technically necessary for you to request a second opinion, but I will give it to you anyway. I gave the article a quick read, and couldn't find anything wrong. I'd say go ahead and pass it. --

results, one of which I can't read. That's not the one I mentioned, though. What happens if you search for "Written in Blood: A History of Forensic Detection‎"? That's the book with the info, and I am able to access the relevant chapter. Let me know ... if not, we'll have to figure something out. I'm

It doesn't say, but I assume the answer is "he wasn't formally charged": the intent was probably not to charge him with anything (and this is 1913. Police guidelines are a bit, ahem, "looser" than they are now) but instead to prevent Williams knowing who had trapped him. I've clarified the gun point

its nomination should review the article. It is ok to embrace the spirit of "fix it yourself" and make any changes you deem necessary to improve the article. Although I'm not sure many other editors take it as far as you have in this case (you currently rank as the top contributor to this article as

one - the others you could get via inter-library loan. I saw from your user page that you're at university - does your university library perhaps have any of the titles? If not, I'm sure they can get them for you. Or maybe not - how does that work in the UK? I'm in the US... if you can't get them, I
647:
Here is where the big problem lies. Only two sources are cited, and as a result some issues brought up on the article are never fleshed out. For instance, no reason is given as to why Williams was hooded. I found a source through Google Books that does give a reason, as well as other information not
1188:
A critical point seems to be the recovery of the gun that was allegedly used. It is stated that a gun was buried on the beach, but there is no mention of its recovery, although this is implied in the statement "by firing the gun ..." It seems to me a important - if the gun was recovered from where

Excellent, thanks so much for going above and beyond :). And you get GA credit as well, so everybody wins :). Actually I did just have a thought; while I left most of my law books at home I do have a biography of Cecil Whitely sitting on my desk, so I'll see if there is anything in there. I think I
807:
Ahhh... I think you've hit on it. That must be it; that does sound familiar. Well, I think this is what we'll have to do. I will add what I can to the article, and ask for a second reviewer rather than passing it on my own steam. I think that will be okay; if not, I'm sure someone will be eager to

This case is repeatedly featured in the opening credits of the BBC's version of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries (the Jeremy Brett version). did you know? There is a wide shot that tightens in on a paper boy hawking a paper, and then focuses on a paper that refers to the Eastbourne murders.
630:"Florence Seymour was the first person called to the witness box, and said that her statement was false, and that Edgar Powers had told her that she would be charged with murder if she did not make such a statement" - repeated "and"s in a sentence are awkward 902:
Thanks for chipping in, ErgoSum. I realize I've contributed to the article more than is appropriate, and that's precisely why I requested a second opinion. I would prefer it if you would pass the article rather than me, again for that reason.
792:
Yeah, that was my thinking too. Written in Blood: A History of Forensic Detection comes up with one book on "snippet view". Is there something where perhaps the publisher has only consented to it being on google books within the US?
624:"When Seymour and Powers went to do this several policemen (who had been lying in wait) immediately arrested her and Powers, (who was released a few hours later)." - punctuation incorrect (or perhaps the sentence needs to be recast) 702:
Excellent, I'll get to work on your points immediately. Fantastic finding the reason he was hooded; I've read three books on the subject, none of which gave any kind of detail on that. I'll work that in in a tick.
758:
Thats the thing, I can't read "Written in Blood" at all. The UK has an inter-library loan system, but it is incredibly slow (in my experience, 2-3 weeks). I'll check the library, but I doubt I'll find anything.
484:. This cannot be correct as Crown Courts were not created until 1972. Can someone go back to the original references and find out where the trial actually took place - possible the Lewes Assizes. Similarly, the 1163:
After a thorough reading, I corrected a few minor copy issues. Interesting article, good job by Ironholds, and I commend Ricardiana for going above and beyond what is expected of a reviewer. Article passed.

Outdent: righto, at the moment the stuff in the book only backs up things already there, so I'll let you add your stuff in before I fill it with lots of little ref tags.
1269: 1210:- the forensic expert used a different weapon of the same make and model to demonstrate similarities between Williams's weapon and the gun used to kill the victim. 343: 1254: 254: 687:
I am putting the article on hold. The main issue is with the sources - as more exist that provide helpful, relevant information, they should be incorporated.

found in the article regarding motivations of witnesses, details on the use of ballistics (important as this is an early use of that sort of evidence), etc.
1264: 1249: 353: 778:
not sure how much I can contribute to the article and have it be kosher for me to pass it, is my only concern, or I would just add stuff myself.
551:
Done. occasional confusion of commas, and some of the pronouns were ambiguous, a few other ambiguities in clauses and prepositional phrases.
522:
On a different note, would you like me to fix up the grammar and punctuation? It's a bit ...ummmm... more flexible that it needs to be. :)
