Re: Chapter One - Day 3 - An Early Morning Meeting
I scan the map, as Lester says the writing is hard to make out but...
I glance up, "How close is Hill Street to Curzon where the old lady lived? And have you any idea of whether there is a Russel living in that area since if there is then we may assume that the assailant is heading that way"

Re: Chapter One - Day 3 - An Early Morning Meeting
Lester Ropes looks at the map and gets an old set of dividers out of his desk drawer. After a few minutes calculation he says; "Well According to my calculations the Russel house would be on West Main Street in the Merchant District - about where it meets Boundary Street. Probably beside where the public Schools Building is. I'll check to see if we have any Russels living in that area." He walks over to the card index file and after a few minutes returns shaking his head. "We have two Russels who are members here but none of them live in the Merchant District. Neither of them are of Arkham blood if you get my drift. I believe that one is from Canada and the other from Kingsport, but I could be wrong."

"Hmm", for a moment I glance up at the ceiling as if I might find answers there amongst the cobwebs, "So Russel seems to be a bust."
Jimmy thinking: I wish Henry was here he might no the right questions to ask. |
I look at Lester, "What's the addresses of these Russels, just in case?"

Re: Chapter One - Day 3 - An Early Morning Meeting
Lester gives the two addresses as follows;
"Elijah Russell - 493 Halsey Street over in Easttown and Melissa Russell - 63 West Hyde Street, that's over on the Northside She lost her husband some years back and has not been in for some time herself. Elijah tends to pop in about once a month."

"Perhaps with the genalogical information available at the Historical Society, we could now trace those seven families," suggests Katherine. "Some of those names are fairly common, and this could help us figure out which ones are actual descendents."

Re: Chapter One - Day 3 - An Early Morning Meeting
"Ah ..." replies Lester to Sr Katherine's statement. "... that would be Mr Peabody's area of expertise I'm afraid. And this is where the bad news comes in. Whilst doing my research today, I did notice that there are several books that seem to be missing from the library stacks. I may have missed them but I don't think so - I take great pride in my work and the thoroughness of it. Let me double check."
He scurries off and after some frantic searching and cursing coming from between the stacks and Peabody's office, Lester returns about ten minutes later. "Yes there are several documents and books missing from the local genealogy section. It is overseen by Mr Peabody himself, and he is even more fastidious about his books than I, and that is saying a great deal. I have even checked his office and they are definitely not there.
"I can search through our member catalogue to see if any of the names I gave you exist if you wish ... P. Ames, J. Crane, J. Noyes, E. Phillips, J. Pierce, A. White, and E. Williams Some families still stick to naming their first born after their father, but this comes unstuck if there is a daughter involved who got married of course."

"Perhaps the intruder also looked through and made off with the missing materials," says Katherine. "We'll just have to do our best with what remains."

Re: Chapter One - Day 3 - An Early Morning Meeting
I nod at Sister Katherine's point she may well be right. following a distant hope I turn to Lester, "These missing books, did Mr Peadbody keep a catalogue that would throw a light on the missing titles by any chance?"

"Precisely the ones we needed," says Katherine. "That confirms our suspicions. Would we be able to find this information at Miskatonic University's library? I doubt he'll have stolen from there too. He's more interested in having the information for himself than in covering his tracks, it seems. He stole these folders, but he might not have gone out of his way to wipe out all other sources of this knowledge. He'll want to track down the descendants first rather than spend time doing something else."

Re: Chapter One - Day 3 - An Early Morning Meeting
Lester shakes his head ruefully, "Sorry Sister, these were Mr Peabody's own personal interests which he donated to the society. As far as I am aware there are no other copies. Wait! Let me see the list of names again! I think I just remembered something." Lester takes the list from whoever has it and hits the paper with his forefinger. "See here we have Elihu Phillips. Now I am not saying there is a connection here but there is a Retribution Phillips lives over on Sutton Road, just off the Aylesbury Pike. I remember this because there was a piece in the paper recently about him becoming a centenarian." He goes to the stacks and pulls a folio of newspapers down and after a few minutes searching waves you over.
You see a short article, only a paragraph or two, about a Retribution Phillips turning 100 years old.

Re: Chapter One - Day 3 - An Early Morning Meeting
I scan the newspaper paragraph that Lester is pointing out, "Hmm, so if this Retribution Philips is descended from the Elihu Philips, Peabody had in his studies, chances are that this is our best lead to where the killer may strike next."
I scratch the back of my neck thoughtfully, a habit that I had developed in childhood, before replacing my hat in readiness for departure. "Is there a full address for this Philips, or do we simply cruise the area and hope we find him before the killer?"

"If he has a telephone, he might be listed in the directory," says Katherine. "We should head there right away as soon as we have the address. There's not a moment to lose! Even if a crazed murderer weren't after him, he's not getting any younger."
