MISCATONIC
UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR FOUND DEAD
Rumors of horrific
struggle – Horrible mutilation – The academic society and all of Arkham
mourns an upstanding Citizen
___________
The
late Professor Wyndham.
ARKHAM, MAY 6 – One of
Arkham’s finest academics, professor Trevor Arburthnot Wyndham of
Miscatonic University, was found dead around noon on May 5. Presumably a
victim of a gruesome homicide, the questions from the assembled press
focused on the rumors of a blood-curdling murder and much mayhem. The
Arkham Police Department has cordoned off the site of the suspected
homicide, and when asked by Mr. Edgar Murdoch of the Gazette if the
suspected murder is connected to the break-in at the Miskatonic University
two days earlier, Detective George O’Keefe could neither deny nor confirm
that this was the case.

Exhibit to Remain Closed
Indian statuette recovered
after burglary but ongoing investigation is keeping doors shut
_______
ARKHAM, May 6 — This
morning, Dr. Henry W. Jones, the co-organizer of the Wyndham-Jones
expedition, met the press to inform them that Wyndham-Jones exhibition will
remain closed. This is presumably due to the two police investigations
regarding the death of Professor Wyndham and the attempted burglary that
occurred on May 4. Dr. Jones was visibly shaken when he addressed the
members of the media, and he excused himself after reading the brief
statement. Detective George O’Keefe did mention that an artifact of the
elusive Arumbaya tribe was recovered, but no details were provided

Rioting in Germany
NEW YORK CITY, May 4 --- The
May Day rallies held by Reds in Munich were attacked by members of a fringe
party calling themselves the National Socialists. Two agitators, Mr.
Adolphe Hitler and Mr. Ernst Roehm, had arranged for what seemed to be
common thugs from as far away as Nuremberg to congregate and attack the Red
protesters just after the marching started, and dozens were taken to
hospitals all around Munich.

Shots Fired at Night?
_________
ARKHAM, May 8. Neighbors
filed several complaints regarding a number of shots being fired in the
vicinity of West High Street and Garrison Street by the antiques and curiosities shop of Mr. Jules Pollack at some point during the
night of May 6 and May 7. The Arkham Police Department did investigate the
complaints, and a thorough sweep of the neighborhood was conducted, but
without finding any evidence of foul play. However, Mrs. Elliot Spencer of
Garrison Street stated that her prize-winning poodle was more than a little
upset, barking ferociously and tugging at her leash for some time before
the supposed gunfire.
