Scholars have long been tantalized by the prospect of finding the papers 6 million at a London auction on May 19 Author John Dickson Carr referred to them in a biography published in 1949 but no more was seen or heard of them In the intervening years, many scholars began to doubt the existence of the manuscripts and sketches by the physician who created one of fiction's best-loved characters More than 40 years ago, private papers and personal artifacts that belonged to the fictional sleuth's creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, were reportedly spirited away during a family dispute over the author's estate Christie's expects the treasure trove of more than 3,000 items to fetch up to $3 "It is an extraordinary collection," she said A highlight of the collection is the author's drawing for the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes in the novel "A Study in Scarlet," with the original title of the book, "A Tangled Skein," crossed through 'Lost' Papers of Doyle to Be Auctioned Mar 17, 5:16 PM EST It was a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes himself Many other pieces in the collection have a very personal slant, such as the brass nameplate Conan Doyle hung outside his fledging medical practice in Southsea, southern England, in 1882 Wodehouse, and former leaders Winston Churchill and Teddy Roosevelt "I have been doing this for 25 years and it was one of the most remarkable experiences of those 25 years "A Study in Scarlet" was published in 1887 The author died in 1930 Watson, who, like Conan Doyle, was a physician, a writer and had served in the British army The artifacts then remained sealed in cardboard boxes for a few years until the family called Christie's last year com</p > Christie's will display several of the pieces up for auction at its New York Rockefeller Center salesrooms, March 29-April 1, before placing the full archive on view at its central London office, May 14-18 Others feared they had been destroyed Jane Flower, a manuscript consultant at Christie's, said the collection had been held at the unidentified law firm for several decades until the legal dispute was resolved and that they were returned to the beneficiaries of Ana Conan Doyle, the wife of the author's youngest son, Adrian christies The archive also contains the manuscript of the author's multi-volume history of the Boer War, in which he served as a military doctor, and World War I Other personal mementoes include his wallet and passport, engagement diaries and account books and the gold medal he had struck for his wife shortly before his death, engraved "To the best of nurses Christie's auction house provided an ending to the story on Wednesday, saying the "lost" collection had been held for decades at a London law office â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Christie's: www Ana Conan Doyle's beneficiaries are the vendors for the auction Over the following 40 years, Conan Doyle published 56 short stories and four novels featuring Holmes and his faithful sidekick, Dr G " There are also letters written to Conan Doyle from contemporaries including Oscar Wilde, Bernard Shaw and P Flower, who had the task of breaking the seals, said she was astounded at the extent of the archive when the documents began tumbling out " There is considerable correspondence relating to Conan Doyle's involvement in numerous court cases where he believed a miscarriage of justice had occurred He said the vast number of cable channels doesn't make up for that because they are "owned and controlled by a smaller and smaller number of companies The two FCC Democrats say Powell is rushing to vote without properly advising the public about what's at stake The Federal Communications Commission is to vote June 2 on broad changes in media ownership regulations that critics fear will lead to more takeovers " Murdoch's proposed acquisition of DirecTV, the nation's largest satellite television provider, means "a troubling situation is about to get much worse," Kimmelman told the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee Smaller broadcasters and network affiliates worry that a higher cap will allow the networks to gobble up more stations and limit local control of programming , asked Murdoch if he would go on a buying spree if the rules are changed An FCC attempt to keep the 35 percent cap would likely spur another court battle Critics warn that eased ownership rules could lead to a handful of giant companies controlling what people watch, hear and read The major networks want the cap eliminated Murdoch said he didn't plan to do that, prompting chuckles from some committee members and spectators "By deregulating a big business, you can choke the life out of a small one FCC Chairman Michael Powell and the two other Republicans on the five-member commission favor easing ownership regulations, an outcome sought by many large media companies Those companies along with NBC persuaded an appeals court last year to reject the current cap and send it back to the FCC for revision households "I don't like caps, but in the media area the probabilities of concentration and limiting people's access is something that you need consider," Lott said "It is simply good business S "The only way a free broadcaster can really stay in business against a hundred cable channels is to identify with these local communities," Murdoch said " Murdoch said his proposed acquisition of DirecTV would not harm competition or limit consumer choices and Viacom Inc "â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: FCC: http://www fcc Sen : http://www bought more than 30 stations their local news content has increased 60 percent, he said com Murdoch dismissed claims that mega-media companies like his aren't interested in local news Since News Corp Thomas Fontana, a TV producer and writer who created the HBO show "OZ," told senators that independent television programming already is scarce and weaker rules will make it worse Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz He said the merger will improve DirecTV, providing consumers with more local TV stations and better high-speed Internet access Gene Kimmelman, public policy director for Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports magazine, said Murdoch already owns "a programming juggernaut newscorp " The FCC is considering eliminating many of the restrictions on a single company owning combinations of newspapers and TV and radio stations in the same city " Murdoch's company, News Corp Another proposal would raise a cap preventing one company from owning TV stations that reach more than 35 percent of U News Corp Trent Lott, R-Miss , joined several Democrats on the committee in supporting the existing cap "It is dangerous gov News Corp , which owns CBS and UPN, stand to benefit from a higher cap because mergers already have left them above the 35 percent level If the government wins, it could force the companies to sell stations Murdoch Wants Eased Media Ownership Rules May 22, 9:54 PM EST Supporters of media-ownership restrictions faced off Thursday with Rupert Murdoch, who rejected their arguments that his owning of dozens of media outlets limits news coverage and harms competition , owns Fox News Channel, 20th Century Fox TV and film studios, the New York Post and other newspapers in England and Australia, as well as other media properties And with that you lose energy, imagination and entrepreneurial spirit," Fontana said Kimmelman said eased ownership rules could "undermine media coverage of local issues and concerns |
