Hello Ouma and Infobunny
Poor Ouma, nothing worse than not being able to use the pc!!!
Mine wouldn't work on day, just because it wouldn't switch on!
Ouma it also crossed my mind, that as Walter had no apparent family, he may have been buried in an unusual way?
But, who knows, perhaps the elusive Miss Andrews, may well have still been nearby, and sympathetic?
I get the feeling there is far, far more to this story that we already know. Who murdered him? Was Miss Andrews involved? Had she perhaps already swapped the diamond in advance?
The possibilities really are endless.
Well, in bygone days I have visited the Kimberley Mine museum. Infobunny, perhaps you can contact both them, and the Barkly West Museum, to see what they might know of this sorry tale.
Also, the DFA, Diamond Fields Advertiser, has been on the go for about 130 years,.......try google them, perhaps their Editor, will be kind enough to check their archives for you?
30 years to value a diamond, that beggars belief, how can people be so crooked?
Cheers
