Episode Synopsis

"all the main ones in the press reports" [THOR]  Sherlock Holmes knew how to use newspapers to his advantage. Time and again, we see him scanning the agony column and making clippings.   He told Watson "The press is a most valuable institution if only one knows how to use it." Just how did he use it and in which cases? It's just a Trifle.    If you have a question for us, please email us at [email protected].
