What was sthe real purpose of the red headed league?

Answer 1

The Red-headed league was dissolved because they have already finished digging the tunnel in the Bank. They no longer needed Wilson to stay in the office to disguise John Clay's absence while he was off digging the tunnel.
The red headed league was only a distraction to get Mr.Wilson away from his pawnshop so that the thieves could dig the hole. After the hole was dug, there was no need for the red headed league so they closed it

Answer 2

If you mean the story, it starts in the sitting-room of Sherlock Holmes. If you mean the actual League, it was started by the late Ezekiah Hopkins, of Lebanon, Penn., U. S. A, and one is left to presume he also started the League there. But we know the League is fictitious, don't we?

Answer 3

The story deals with a case in which a red-headed shop keeper is conned into working (for a considerable daily wage) at a meaningless job working for a fictitious organization called the "Red Headed League" while the con men tunnel from his shop to a nearby bank.

The story is noteworthy for containing one of the most obvious major plot holes in any Sherlock Holmes story: Had the con men simply paid the shopkeeper for one more day they would almost certainly have succeeded as the shopkeeper's suspicions would not have been aroused until after the bank robbery occurred.

Answer 4

Watson and Holmes begin a conversation regarding the interests they share in Holmes' cases, and the conversation ends with Watson attempting to deduce things about Mr. Wilson then Wilson commences his unique story from the beginning.

Answer 5
