"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.
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 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.
