This seems to be wandering a bit, so... RECAP: Bugs refers to a man’s name. Both Bugs and Henry are H A M. ‘They’ are H A, but a mixture of M and F. Clamping down is not car clamping and has nothing to do with sports. Clamping down is somewhat (indirectly) related to limiting his freedom and is not related to the commission of a misdemeanor. Henry is possible in danger for his life. But his possessions are not in any danger. Bugs would have helped Henry, but ‘they’ found out about Bugs. They are with the government and there is something illegal involved here, but it is not drugs. He is the same as him and Henry, but he is not Ben Segal. Bugs is not one of ‘they’. Bugs did not get the word that was sent even though it was, in fact, more than one word. Henry’s name in the title is relevant due to an obscure hint that is lurking. Bugs did not help Henry. Bugs’s name is relevant in the same way Henry’s name is relevant. There are no mobsters involved with the puzzle. Henry was in prison, but Bugs was not. They are not prison officers nor police, nor law enforcement officers. Henry has done something illegal. BLOOPER: Bugs has not done anything illegal (at least as far as we know). ‘They” are with the police at times, but are not police officers. The illegal thing involved here is murder. Elvis is the king. Henry sent word by letter. In some way, it was intercepted and ‘they’ read it. Henry murdered someone, but Bugs did not. If Bugs had helped Henry, he would not have been involved with murdering someone. Henry and Bugs were not going to murder someone. Henry and Bugs had not already murdered someone. ‘They’ are not detectives, FBI, undercover agents, or law enforcement per se’. ‘They’ might kill Henry at some point (indirectly). Bugs was not in danger. Bugs and Henry were not both in jail. |

HINT: In Henry's letter, he characterized his emerging alibis (presumeably for Henry's lawyers as well as....) and spoke of a witness (presumeably false witness) and when this person would be available to testify (lie in court). What's left? Why didn't Bugs get the message? |

This is reminding me of the one where a man in jail gets a note from his Dad about not being able to dig up the back garden to plant potatoes without his help, to which he replies ("Whatever you do don't dig back there - it's where I've hidden the swag.") The authorities read all the outgoing mail and show up at the old man's place, dig up the entire back yard, and find nothing. When the father sends a puzzled note back to his son the response is "Don't worry about that; now you can plant your spuds." Was the witness an actual real human-type person? Did Henry know that his mail would be read? |

Did Henry attempt to take some precautions to ensure that his mail would not be read? eg, send it through unusual channels? via a visitor? pigeon post? |

Did he make a mistake when addressing the letter? Forget to put a stamp on it? |

did he put the wrong name? address? post code/zip code? did the letter ever leave the prison? was all his mail read? or was something suspicious about this one? was it returned to the prison due to the mistake in address? |

******** SPOILER *********** Quinton Thomas (Henry), 22, inadvertently strengthened the murder charge against him in April when he mailed a letter from the jail in Rockville, Md. (to Bugs), believing that the contents would not be read by jail officials. However, Thomas had gotten the recipient's address wrong, causing the post office to "return to sender," and, as longstanding policy, officials inspect all incoming mail (for contraband). According to an August Washington Post report, Thomas characterized his emerging alibis and also wrote about a witness, "This white (expletive) can't make it to court on May 7 through May 12, ya feel me. I don't care what you gotta do, you don't even gotta stink the cracker, he just cant make it to Rockville that whole week, Homie." [Washington Post, 8-10-07] Thanks so much for the hard work, folks. Nicely swooped damia...that was almost Bodo-like |
