Bøker av Jim Morris

This is a fresh examination of the âEUR¿intelligenceâEUR(TM) gathered for the great train robbery. The suggestion of an Irishman (âEUR¿The UlstermanâEUR(TM)) was simply part of a package created by the robbers in time for their release from prison and to contribute to the subsequent book âEUR" everything since has compounded the âEUR¿mysteryâEUR(TM). Gordon Goody was one robber who âEUR¿metâEUR(TM) The Ulsterman and speaks highly of The UlstermanâEUR(TM)s information, but this information could easily be found elsewhere, and some of it is incorrect. So who else might have given âEUR¿intelligenceâEUR(TM)? One by one, other âEUR¿suspectsâEUR(TM) are identified and discounted, but with evidence for their defence. To use the metaphor âEUR¿hidden in plain sightâEUR(TM), one can identify another âEUR¿suspectâEUR(TM) with all the attributes The Ulsterman was said to have. If the reader is willing to look at the evidence afresh, itâEUR(TM)s necessary to consider not what the robbers et al have said, rather what they havenâEUR(TM)t said. The robbers were dishonest men who frequently lied âEUR" but writers and commentators have followed what they have said. And it hasnâEUR(TM)t really led anywhere. To unravel the yarn presented, it wasnâEUR(TM)t a senior official in either the Post Office or British Rail. It was an âEUR¿ordinary thiefâEUR(TM) with an extraordinary ability to blend into the background, and have fingers in a great many pies. LetâEUR(TM)s expound the myth.

Presents the story of Jim Morris' departure from the minor leagues after a string of injuries, his career as a high school physics teacher, and his eventual return to the minors followed by an all-star career in the majors.

There was a quaint British convention under which executions were stopped and sentence commuted if scheduled to take place on the day the sovereign died. Alfred Moore was doubly unfortunate: still protesting his innocence he was on the scaffold an hour before the death of King George VI was announced.
