Sherlock Holmes: Silver Blaze

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - Silver Blaze

Background:
The horse Silver Blaze, owned by Colonel Ross, goes missing a few days before the Wessex Cup
The trainer, John Straker, is the ex jockey. He is married and lives very close to the stables.
Also working there are 3 lads and they watch over the 4 horses in the stable.
One of the lads stay up each night keeping watch while the other two sleep in the loft above the barn.

Case:
Two of the lads go up to the house to eat dinner. The third one, Ned Hunter, stayed at the stables keeping watch. The made, Edith Baxter, went to bring food to the barn and a man stops  her. He is described as gentlemanly and was holding a cane. He bribed her, wanting information about the top two horses, Silver Blaze and Bayard.

The next morning, Mr Straker (the trainer) and Silver Blaze were both missing. Straker's coat was found on a bush and him dead a few yards over. He had suffered a heavy blow to the head,  was covered in blood, and had a huge gash on his leg. He was also holding a red and black cravat which belonged to the stranger from the previous night. There were hoofprints where the struggle took place.
The stranger was later identified as Fitzroy Simpson and arrested.

Result:
The trainer bet against his own horses and wanted to make them lame with a small cut to the leg. The horse knocked him down by accident. Simpson merely wanted information on the horse because he bet against them too.

Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Copper Beeches

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Adventure of the Copper Beeches

A young woman, Violet Hunter, visits Holmes because she received a peculiar job offer. She usually works as a governess and when she went into the agency, there was a man (Jephro Rucastle) there who told her she would be perfect for the job. He said she wouldn't have to take care of the child that much and that she would mainly be hired to do certain things (wear specific dresses, laugh at his jokes, sit by the window while reading a book). But most important, she has to cut her long hair.
Holmes forms a theory about the job but tells her to take it anyways. A few weeks after taking the job, she messages for them to go meet her. She tells them about the strange things that have happened while at this job. When she sits by the window reading, she is never allowed to look out the window. So when she brought a mirror to peek behind her, she saw a man there. The owners of the house asked her to wave him away. She never had to read by the window again after that. Another strange thing was that the dresses she had to wear fit her perfectly. And that in the bottom drawer of the wardrobe in her room, there was a braid that looked exactly like the one she had cut off before accepting the job.
But most peculiar of all, the way to the attic was locked and when looking from outside, one of the windows were clearly shuttered. She investigated before sending for Holmes and encountered a scary creature behind the shuttered room in the attic.

Result: Turns out the man outside(Mr. Fowler) was the betrothed of the family's daughter (Alice). They hired Miss Hunter who resembled Alice to convince Mr. Fowler to go away and that Alice no longer wished to see him. The night that Holmes arrived, Mr Fowler devised a plan to rescue Alice, with success. Miss Hunter later became the principal of an all girls school.

Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet

Described as a very peculiar case. Alex Holder of the bank Holder & Stevenson of Threadneedle street was visited by a nobleman. The noble offered up his beryl coronet (a jeweled crown of sorts) as collateral for a loan of £50,000. Holder gave up his own money for the loan.
He took the crown home, told his kids Arthur and Mary (adopted niece). He woke up in the middle of the night to see his son holding a twisted up crown with three of the jewels missing. The son was arrested.

Result:
The daughter had run away with the neighbor/friend, Sir George Burnwell.
She had handed the crown through a window to him which the brother had witnessed. Arthur chased Sir George and fought for the crown, thus twisting it. A piece broke off and Sir George got away. The son didn't want to say anything in order to protect Mary.



Here's a picture of a jeweled coronet I found online
