I think today it's obvious that Balmer "fitted up" the two men, George Kelly and Charles Connolly, as the men responsible for the Cameo murders. That the Crown failed to prove its case, that the convictions were "unsafe" to put it technically, has now been upheld by the high court. But the point is that I don't think that was obvious when Richard Whittington-Egan published his Liverpool Roundabout way back in 1957. I don't believe people were jumping on his case back then for being wrong.
