The Argument	The origins of Sherlock Holmes led to a fierce legal battle in the earlier part of this century. The MURDER ROOMS site hopes  to  uncover more of  the story of this strange battle and is eager to hear from anyone who could shed further light on the following mysteries :   The discovery that Doyle actually studied with one of the 19th century's most notorious serial killers in 1878, exactly the same year Doyle met Joseph Bell and the idea of Sherlock Holmes was born The alleged sightings earlier in the last century of an actual manuscript of Bell's cases written by Doyle. If it ever saw the light of day. ‘Joseph Bell’s Criminal Cases’ by Arthur Conan Doyle would mark the uncovering of one of world’s greatest mysteries. For we would finally have laid our hands on something once thought to be utterly impossible: The True Stories of Sherlock Holmes... The continuing mystery surrounding Arthur Conan Doyle's father, Charles Doyle, who was locked away in an asylum painting strange, often supernatural pictures, until he died in total isolation in the same year that Sherlock Holmes died at the Reichenbach Falls.
