The cryptic puzzle was invented by Torquemada in the mid 1920s. Standards of fairness were formulated by Ximenes, who succeeded him as compiler for the Observer newspaper in 1939.
This site has a bio of Ximenes and examples of puzzles by him, Torquemada, and some other compilers. http://home.freeuk.net/dharrison/ximenes/
