Much as I adore old-fashioned photo illustrations, old newspaper layouts like this drive me slightly mad.
Multiple screaming (and competing) headlines: one eight columns, then seven columns, down to our six column headline:
OFFICIALS OF CITY COUNTY AND UNIVERSITY PROBE DEATHS
That leads to: MYSTERY STRYCHNINE BOTTLE IS TRACED
The story that follows is one we've seen before:
COLUMBUS, Feb. 6 -- Mystery surrounding the seemingly surreptitious appearance of the bottle, containing about 300 grains of strychnine on a shelf in the college of pharmacy laboratory, Ohio State university was cleared up here today by police officials probing the mysterious distribution of capsuled strychnine which resulted in the recent death of two Ohio State university students and serious illness of at least three other students.
At least it's a nice photo of Harold E. Gillig.
