      It should be noted that Reb Yudel does indeed give credit to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for at least part of the Choshen story.

       

      See page 5 of the preface and page 26 of the book Choshen Hamishpot discussed by Dr Leiman.

        R' Leiman mentions this in his published article on the topic.

      I enjoyed the lecture but it seems to be incomplete and ends with the beginning of the story of Johan Sylvester.  Is it possible to get the end of the lecture?
