QUIET RETURNS TO THE CARROLL BOARDING HOUSE

Further to our report of Saturday. The matter, if there was a matter, appears to be over.

Those who looked into the trouble at The Carroll Boarding House have little to say for publication.

Neighbours report the place quiet since.

Chief Harker told the Gazette there was 'nothing whatever in it'.

"NOTHING IN IT," SAYS CHIEF OF WHATELEY RESIDENCE TALK

The earlier trouble ended 2 October. It was thought settled.

Readers may remember the business at Whateley Residence, which ended 2 October without anyone much the wiser.

Residents near Town Hall & Registry of Deeds were talking yesterday of little else. According to a night watchman, registry clerk reports receiving antique coin for the Gallows Lane taxes.

Police declined to comment.

One reader suggests a prank by students; another, less charitably, suggests drink.

The Gazette understands from a person with knowledge of the matter that the police are watching a house in Downtown Arkham.

AROUND TOWN

There is talk in the neighbourhood of Saltonstall Street Mansions of a young woman with luggage, seen about the streets at odd hours and speaking to nobody. One resident insists he is no stranger at all, but cannot say who he is.

A local rumour about Sanitarium Administration is doing the rounds again, decades old.

Neighbours near Warden's Cabin in a dispute over a fence; police called, nobody charged.

IN BRIEF

A photograph taken in the course of a private inquiry at Warehouse No. 7 — the Stair Below on Friday 15 October is now said to show Miss Nellie Lovell, night watchman. The Gazette has not seen it.

From the editor
