There is an explanation that ought to be considered. The dead ballet dancer had a homosexual tryst with a military man, who immediately regretted it and killed his lover rather than come out. My hypothesis is that the ballet dancer intended to take the other trip, but met a charming man who promised a weekend of seclusion. The military man may have been some special category of killer with access to poisons. The military man may have been on his way to his own wedding, making this gay weekend likely his last opportunity (and maybe also his first). The military man regretted his decision somewhere along the way and killed his lover.

There are too many connections to the woman with the book for this to be random. Including the likely hood that he fathered her son, Robin.

Re: the five lines of supposed code made clearer under ultraviolet light. Someone simply used the book as a writing backboard for when trying to solve a newspaper word puzzle?
 
There is a very in-depth article on this case in the March issue of "Fortean Times" magazine. It includes lots of pictures - not sure if there is any new information in it (I haven't read the full thread, so don't know all the available details).

I've tried to post some pictures, but I can't seem to upload them. The magazine should be in the shops in the next few days.
 
George Marshall (d. May 1945)
Born: Joseph Saul Haim Marshal. Found laying deceased in Ashton Park on Sydney harbor. Likely poisoned. Possible suicide. Rubaiyat book found with him. Jessica nee Harkness (trainee nurse) resides and works in Sydney.

Gwenneth Dorothy Graham (d. June 1945)
Testified at inquest into death of George Marshall. Found dead, face down, naked, in bathtub at her Sydney residence. Wrists slit. Primary cause of death given as drowning. Report by man who accompanied Ms. Graham into her home that night. He stated Ms Graham went into bathroom and he waited for her but she never came out alive.

Alf Boxall (August 1945)
Meets in company with Jessica nee Harkness (trainee nurse), over drinks, at Clifton Gardens adjacent to Ashton Park, Sydney. Is given a Rubaiyat book signed by her. Boxall also resides in Sydney at the time.

unknown man (d. November - December 1948)
Found laying deceased on Somerton Beach, Glenelg. Likely poisoned. Later found in his clothing is Rubaiyat book excerpt. Jessica nee Harkness (nurse) now resides about 1,300ft (400 metres) nearby having relocated interstate, from Sydney.

Mangnoson (d. June 1949)
Keith and son, Clive, missing 4 days. Largs Bay 12 miles (20 kilometres) from Somerton Beach. Son found dead in a sack. Cause of death unknown. Determined to be not natural death. Stomach contents sent for further analysis. Father found unconscious, nearby, sent to Parkside Mental Hospital. Jessica nee Harkness (nurse) still resides in nearby Glenelg and at some stage works at mental hospital. According to Ms Roma Mangnoson, her husband believed the "unknown man" to be Carl Thompsen with whom he had worked in Renmark, 1939.
 
New angle. Jessica nee Harkness was a petite and pretty nurse during wartime. Said to be a free spirit. Pregnant outside of marriage. Moves in with a petty criminal finalizing his divorce. Eventually marries him. What sort of gentleman would suspect her of having something to hide in plain view?

George Marshall's wife also committed suicide, apparently, source not yet confirmed.

Jessica nee Harkness and petty criminal, Prosper Thomson, can both be linked to Sydney, Mentone and Glenelg which are all places in three different states, Australia. Both also resided sometime in the Australian state of Queensland.

Prosper Thomson's wife, Queenie, survived a plane accident in Queensland not long before her husband, Prosper (a motor vehicle enthusiast) and her were divorced. Jessica nee Harkness from Sydney followed Prosper to Glenelg with Jessica doing so via her parent's residence in Mentone. Mentone is where Prosper and Queenie resided before moving to Queensland.

Alf Boxall residing in Sydney is somehow involved.

A woo-woo magazine for people who don't mind entertaining dangerous delusions such as locating missing persons via a dream.

[Yep. Agreed. Too much testosterone and conflicting agendas have marred my last two posts re: this case.]
 
The cypher has been worked on by current technologies and it still hasn't been broken. One of the reasons stated is that it's too short to be able through algorithms. Apparently, they use the number of times each letter is used to determine what letter it actually stands for.
 
In G.M Feltus' book, the Unknown Man, he mentions "Tessie" (aka: Jessica nee Harkness) as lying by saying she was already married to Prestige Johnson and has Prestige moving in with Jessica. Yet, the Wikipedia entry on Taman Shud case, and elsewhere, has Jessica nee Harkness as marrying Prosper McTaggart Thomson and that he was already established in Adelaide when Jessica moved in with him.
