James,

The 'Ramey telegram' may be indecipherable, however, as the printing
consists of fixed spacing, this offers important clues to the
probabilities.

The number of letters in each word and the relative spaces between the
words and lines seems to be consistent, verifiable by reference to any
lines above or below.

As such, this is the template for the portion of the message which is
relatively visible:

[All of the following requires a 'fixed font']


...  *** *** ******* ** *** ***** *** ********* ** ***
... ** **** *****, ***.
...   ** *** ****** **** **** **** *** ****** ********
...    ** **** ****** ** ****** ******* ** *****??? *****(?)
...        **** **** ******** ******* ** ***** *** *****
...     **** **** *** ** ** ******* ******** ***** ****
...    **** *** **** ********* *****.

...                                  ******


On the forth line, it's not clear if there are three letters as
designated by '?' at the end of the second-last word. However,
the spacing suggests they should exist.

The exact length of the last word may be longer than five
characters, that isn't clear either.


Unfortunately, the available scan still leaves much of the
message illegible and there are many letters which can only be
guessed at. We can however determine the length of most visible
words and that proves what isn't possible.


Neil Morris' interpretation of the message was:

 1) ---------------------------***ARY WERE --------------------- AS

 3) -------------*** at FORT WORTH. Txe.

The differences are indicative of the inherent difficulties.

Based on my analysis, some of the contents from previously
suggested translations would remain conceivably correct,
however, other interpretations can not be.

For example, "SITE TWO S.W. MAGDALENA, N.MEX", as above,
obviously isn't sustainable.


I would only be confident about "FORT WORTH, TEX." being visible
at the end of line two, perhaps "POWERS" as being the third word
in line four.

The word suggested to be 'VICTIMS' could in fact be many other
seven letter words, possibly 'REMAINS', as in, conceivably :

...  *** THE REMAINS OF THE ***** YOU FORWARDED TO THE
... AT FORT WORTH, TEX.

or, perhaps:

...  *** THE REMAINS OF THE ***** YOU REQUESTED TO THE
... AT FORT WORTH, TEX.


As the telegram has presumably been received by Ramey, it would
make more sense if he was being informed about something he had
requested, rather than forwarded.

At that point, with the 'debris' having only been received, what
would Ramey have been able to forward and for which receipt was
being acknowledged?


Incidentally, for those who maybe aren't aware, the scanned
'Ramey telegraph' image is available at:

http://adm2.ph.man.ac.uk/ftw-pics/new-1/rmysignl.htm


I'm reasonably sure the template outlined is accurate.

If disputed, the factual evidence would be welcome.

Otherwise, it does require a rethink of the claims being
publicised.
