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.

Wyndham 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

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.
