What I meant that Jarman and Norman had a closer bond, but I think you?re smart enough to know why I suggested it. We could even use hairstyles to allocate BRW to Curley. I am not convinced that BRW was the ringleader....I mearly suggested a possible conversation. Jarman was much more mature from what I?ve seen and it may have been him that suggested the 18 year old father not to say anything given the circumstances at the time.
You suggested that BRW's Stooge counterpart should be Curly, because Moe and Larry were related.
But your analogy is a faulty because Williams, Jarman and Norman weren't related, much less any two of them brothers.
As far as which Stooge was the ringleader of your supposed 'conspiracy', I think it's pretty obvious that Moe/BRW would be the one.
Your imaginary Stooge conversation is similar to the one I proposed about 30 pages ago, and is pretty much the only way the Stooge Conspiracy would have been hatched.
After all, it's hard to imagine Larry and Curly volunteering out of the blue to lie for Moe.
Not that I think any such conversation actually took place at any time, whether it be on the 5th floor, stairwell, or after the Stooges were downstairs.
