John mentions Bloods claim that Bess was very frail and often sick, and she never weighted more than 98 pounds. How well did she really know Bess? How much time did she really spend with Bess? Did Bess like Marie?ģ.
How reliable was Marie Blood as a source of historical facts? Did she have a track record of making revelatory statements which were subsequently and widely accepted as true by careful and reputable Houdini historians, or was she a font of misinformation and sensationalism (in the spirit of promoting her uncle/family)? Over time, were her statements about certain facts and events consistent, or inconsistent?Ģ.
Im no Houdini historian, and havent read much about Houdini in many years, but here are some questions which come to mind in connection with Marie Bloods claims:ġ. Interesting piece, but perhaps it would be more prudent to say that this may be the reason why Harry and Bess never had children, rather than stating it as fact?
