I read that Kelly received a _lot_ of money from
Rosenberg, over the years. There are apparently
still records of that. It is also stated that he
gave some of his powder to Rosenberg, but this
could be more legendary than anything else.

Rafal got information a year or so ago, that 
Jacobus and Kelley met each other in the interval.
That's quite interesting, although I am not
entirely sure of its significance.

Some of this is of course legendary, although I'll
be the first to admit that I don't indicate that
too clearly on my own web site.

:-)

Another important Jesuit school in the area was
Jindrichuv Hradec (Henry's Castle?) which goes by
the German name Neuhaus. Both Jacobus and Marci
were there (but presumably not at the same time).

Cheers, Rene
