The Museum Of Drugs Paraphernalia And Related Antiquities has at long last tracked down an image of Donald Kimfull as he appeared in later life, reinvented as Joseph Dean of Dean's Bar Tangiers. According to a number of sources, including April Ashley, Britain's first person to undergo a successful gender realignment operation, Dean of Dean's Bar was allegedly none other than the elusive character involved in the supply of cocaine and opium to the late Billie Carleton 1918. Avoiding the inquest into the actresses death, Kimfull went on to become the proprietor of the Bar in Tangiers, host to the literary and art set alongside international spies. The bar went on to become the template for the movie Casablanca.

That's an amazing find.

It's not 100% certain that Don Kimfull is Dean. We have only Gerald Hamilton's word for it, and that isn't worth much. But assuming they are one and the same, I'd love to know what happened to Kimfull between the Billie Carleton affair and his arrival in Tangier
I have seen it suggested that Kimfull was in Berlin in the 1920s
