Specifically, he is upset that the Times has run a sensationalist story about the Mummy's Curse, which has recently killed three men. Go to the newspaper section to read up on the case. The mummy in question is called Katebet's mummy, and it has been taken from Egypt to London for an exhibition. The three men who died within the past six weeks were James Windibank, Dr. Ebenezer Turnbull, and Andrew Weatherby. Windibank was killed inside the British museum. Turnbull, the organizer of the expedition, was killed inside the mummy's tomb. Weatherby was killed on the ship, as it returned to England. The ship is called the Eastern Empress, run by Captain Herman Ramsey and first officer Luther Tenney. Leave the newspaper and go to the directory. Most of your investigation will take place here. You can look up all the names in Holmes' files, and you can send the irregulars to these people in hopes of finding out more information. Sometimes this is helpful, and sometimes it is not. For example, if you sent the irregulars to Weatherby, you learn nothing at all. If you send them to Captain Ramsey, you learn that Tenney was put in charge of the investigation. Your goal in this game is to investigate the murders and determine who the culprit is. Weatherby's Death ----------------- Weatherby died on a boat, so the murderer must be one of the other passengers. Go to the Shipping Company, Jardine, Matheson & Co., for a list of passengers. You can alternately send the irregulars to get the list. If you visit Captain Herman Ramsey, or send an irregular to him, you learn that Luther Tenney was put in charge of the investigation. Visit Luther Tenney. He will explain about finding the corpse in some detail. The entire journey was rather unpleasant, because people were afraid of the mummy. There was also some fighting going on, during the voyage. Windibank fought with a reporter named Travis. Weatherby, the victim, fought was a man named Uruburu, because Uruburu was spending too much time with Weatherby's wife. Two Arabs, named Fahmi and Al-suad, were on the voyage. Fahmi was protective of a box he always carried, with Al- suad spent most of his time keeping an eye on Fahmi. A bowl of ashes, found next to the corpse, went missing. This is the last thing that Tenney mentions. If you go to visit Mr. Uruburu, he will claim that he spent most of the voyage drinking. He admits to carrying on an affair with Mrs. Weatherby. If you visit Mrs. Weatherby, she gets uncomfortable when Holmes mentions her affair, and she admits nothing. Philip Travis happens to be the same reporter who wrote the article for the times about Windibank's death. You learn this if you visit Travis or the London Times (under newspapers), or if you send an irregular to Windibank. When you visit Travis, you learn that he believes the Egyptian gods are real, and they are responsible for the deaths. If you visit Fahmi, Holmes and Watson discover that he is dead. He was stabbed in the back with a knife. Holmes quickly solves the case, deducing that the butler is the culprit. If only all his cases were this simple! If you visit Al-saud, you learn that he is not at home at the moment. If you visit the final passengers on the ship, Louise and Merril Fenwick, you learn they are quite eccentric. Windibank's Death ----------------- Visit the British Museum to speak with one of museum's leaders. He says that Windibank's corpse was found inside the sarcophagus, along with the mummy. A guard, Henry Witherspoon, was making his rounds when he saw Windibank's hand sticking out of the sarcophagus. That was when the alarm was raised. The exhibit was being put on by the museum and the London University. If you visit the University, Holmes speaks with Lawrence Feld, the chairman of the Egyptology department. Feld explains that Turnbull organized the expedition. It was his first time working with Windibank, a popular lecturer. Many students applied to be an assistant on the expedition, due to Windibank's involvement. Travis (the reporter) was rejected as an assistant, and he took it personally. Peter Smith was accepted, but he turned down the position and joined another expedition. In the end, Weatherby was chosen as the assistant. If you visit Smith, you learn that he's been out of the country for a while. Trial ----- When you think you're done investigating, go to trial. If you don't have enough clues, the Judge will send you back to investigation. The judge asks you a series of questions. Q: Who killed Turnbull? A: Philip Travis. Q: Why? A: Turnbull publicly lambasted Travis for questioning the doctor's credentials. Q: Who killed Weatherby? A: Phillip Travis. Q: Why? A: Travis was angry that Weatherby was chosen for the expedition instead of himself. Q: Who killed Windibank? A: Philip Travis. Q: Why? A: Windibank did not choose him for the expedition. That's the end of the game. See how many detective points you got! Your goal is to get as few points as possible. You can also see Sherlock Holmes' personal solution to the case at this point. 003b-Case Two: The Tin Soldier ----------------------------------------------------------- Inspector Smythe visits Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. He tells them that General Farmsworth Armstead has been murdered. This murder is of particular note, because General Armstead was the youngest member of the Waterloo Tontine. The Tontine was a lottery, set up for the veterans of the Battle of Waterloo (and their relatives). The person who outlives all the other ticket holders gets all of the money (which has been collecting interest in a bank for decades). With Armstead's murder, there are now five people still in the running to win the lottery: Robert Juergens, Anita and Claire Thomas, William Roland and Peter Dudley. They are all expected to attend a dinner at the Langham Hotel on the 18th, which celebrates the 75th anniversary of the battle. Inspector Smythe discusses the details of Armstead's death. Armstead collected art and published a book of some note on the subject. He was working on a revised edition of his book, featuring a new chapter about the Polar Star Diamond (owned by Napoleon's brother). An elderly Frenchman appeared at Armstead's house at 10:00 AM. The valet, David Sennett, tried to dismiss him, but the man insisted he had an important letter for Armstead. When Armstead read the letter, he insisted on meeting with the Frenchman. They met in a locked room, and a swordfight broke out. The valet ran in through the back entrance, in order to see what was happening, but by the time he arrived, it was too late. Armstead was dead, and the Frenchman disappeared, along with his letter. Seems like quite a case! The Regulars ------------ Let's see what the regulars have to say about this case. Ellis talks a bit about the history of the Tontine Lottery. 25 years ago, there were 204 people still in the running. Now, there are only five. Quentin Hogg knows the deceased, by his connection to the Polar Star Diamond. The diamond belonged to a rich Russian, and it was stolen by a French thief named Andre Matin. Matin was later found dead in the Thames; the diamond was not found. Inspector Lestrade does not want to talk about the murder investigation. He has a list of suspects and is currently planning on checking alibis. It does not occur to the Inspector that the culprit might create a fake alibi. The London Library explains that the name "Tontine" comes from Lorenzo Tonti, a Neapolitan banker who introduced the system into France. It also explains about Waterloo, which was Napoleon's final and worst defeat. Sir Jasper Meek explains that the death was due to an upward thrust of a sword, which pierced the victim's heart. H. R. Murray has the saber which was found in the victim's hand. There was dust on the saber, indicating it hadn't been used in some time. There was blood on the tip, which indicates that the victim managed to scratch his opponent with the sword, but not seriously. Langdale Pike says that the victim married into money, by wedding Lord Finch's daughter Mary. Malcolm Fitch (the woman's brother) objected to the wedding, due to the victim's reputation with the ladies. Lloyd Shoemaker would know more about that than Pike; all Pike knows is that Fitch and the victim owned stock together. Pike also mentions that the victim's book on art upset Carson Cabot. Cabot is a gem collector, and the victim's book suggested he got some jewels illegally. Cabot got in a fight with the victim and broke his collarbone. Shinwell is running bets on the Tontine Lottery. Captain Juergens is a long shot, at 25 to 1 odds. The only person betting on him is his nephew, Booth Lacey. The Other Tontine Ticket Holders -------------------------------- If you visit Captain Robert Juergens, the oldest Tontine ticket holder, he says that he hasn't seen Armstead in 25 years. If Juergens wins, he plans to NOT share the money with his good-for-nothing nephew, Booth Lacey. If you visit the Thomas twins, the two of them are sorry to hear of Armstead's death. If they win, they'd leave the money to the Ladies' League for the Preservation of Finches. If you visit William Roland, you learn that he has been suffering from gout for the past two weeks. He enjoys eating food, and his two sons own a successful import company in America. His daughter is married to a poet named Wentworth Cobbett. You can visit Wentworth Cobbet (and his wife). Wentworth works on poetry every day, from ten until noon. That gives him a solid alibi. If you visit Peter Dudley, he seems unlikely to have killed anyone. He is a poor worker, and he tries to keep positive by saying that he is now the youngest ticket holder. Investigating the Victim ------------------------ If you visit Lloyd Shoemaker or Malcolm Fitch, he confirms that the victim had an affair with a woman in France, after preparing his marriage. The French woman gave birth to Armstead's son. If you visit Booth Lacey (the nephew of one of the lottery ticket holders), you learn he is at the Red Bull Inn. If you go there, you learn that Lacey is a con artist, working at London Bridge Station. He has an alibi for the murder; he was conning a free meal from the people at St. Mary's Church. If you go to the church, you can double-check with the priest, who confirms the alibi. If you go to Carson Cabot, who once fought with the victim, you learn that he has an alibi. He was at home all morning, and Holmes quickly confirms this. If you go to Armstead's home (or to David Sennett), the valet explains more about his death. The saber he died holding was usually kept above the display case, showing the Battle of Waterloo. For some reason, the figurine of Napoleon has been turned backwards. The portrait of Armstead's deceased wife is above the display case. The valet talks about her. She was a nasty woman, and Armstead seems to have married her, just for her money. The valet confirms that Armstead and his brother-in- law owned joint stock together. On the day of his death, Armstead was working on his writings about the Polar Star Diamond. He was scheduled to meet Pierre Matin, about the diamond's current whereabouts. Armstead's old friend Jean Paul Gerard is in town, and he is staying at the French Embassy. The valet concludes the discussion of Armstead, by gibing more details on the murderer. Holmes notes the difficulty the culprit must have had in escaping. If you go to the French Embassy, you talk with Armstead's old friend, Jean Paul Gerard, about the time Armstead spent in France. Armstead had a liason with a young girl during this time, because Armstead disliked his fiancé (whom he called "Horseface"). The previous week, the two of them saw a play headlined by Phillip Arneau. If you visit the Princess Theater, the manager talks about Phillip Arneau. He portrays Napoleon in their popular play. Arneau had a hard life; his sister died years ago, under tragic circumstances, and his mother died recently. Arneau is staying at the Grand Hotel. If you go to the Grand Hotel, Holmes and Watson get permission from Inspector Lestrade to examine the room. There, they find a sword disguised as a cane. There is a very tragic letter on the table, which appears to be the one the victim read before his death. If you go to the Bridgehouse Hotel (under hotels) to speak with Pierre Matin, you learn that he has just been killed, shortly after getting a telegraph. The telegraph appears to deal with the fact that Matin knows who has the Polar Star Diamond. The hotel clerk says that Matin's last visit was a large Russian man. If you visit the Russian Embassy, you learn that Count Rostov (a former owner of the Polar Star Diamond) is in town, at the DeKesyer's Royal Hotel. You can visit him there. The Count claims that his valet, Vladmir, found Matin dead at the hotel. Like Quentin Hogg, the Count believes that Pierre Matin's brother, Andre, stole the Polar Star Diamond years ago. The Count came here to London to talk to Armstead about the diamond, once he caught wind that Armstead was writing about it. The Count is unhappy that both men who knew about the diamond have been killed. If you go to Norgate and Co. Publishers (under newspapers), Wells Osborne talks about General Armstead's book. The first version of the book was very successful; the libel suits that were filed against the book only seemed to increase its popularity. The man talks about the upcoming revised edition, with a chapter on the Polar Star Diamond. As far as the publisher knows, Pierre Matin was going to reveal the location of the diamond, in exchange for money. Unfortunately, it seems both men were killed before they could meet. Trial ----- When you think you're done investigating, go to trial. If you don't have enough clues, the Judge will send you back to investigation. The judge asks you a series of questions. Q: Who killed General Farnsworth Armstead? A: Phillip Arneau. Q: What was the motive? A: To avenge the honor of Arneau's sister. Q: Why was the figure of Napoleon turned around? A: His murderer was the actor who was portraying Napoleon, Pillip Arneau. Q: What name did the General call Mary Fitch? A: Horseface. 003c-Case Three: The Mystified Murderess ----------------------------------------------------------- Watson is reading an article in the paper about a series of burglaries. The seventh burglary took place at the home of Sir Sanford Leeds. The burglar only steals one valuable item from each house, and he seems to know where the item is located ahead of time. After this, a man named Gerald Locke comes in to see Holmes. Locke is courting Miss Frances Nolan, who was arrested for the murder of Guy Clarendon (a second suitor). She was found with a pistol in her hand, near Guy's body, but Locke is convinced she is completely innocent. Clarendon, the victim, was a noted athlete, but a bit of a bounder. His father all but disinherited him, and Locke believes that Clarendon's bad actions are the cause of his death. Watson inquires about Miss Frances Nolan. Her parents were killed, when someone bombed their carriage. Their other daughter, Loreta Nolan, managed to survive. The two sisters are the only heirs to Malcom Nolan's company. The Regulars ------------ Let's see what the regulars have to say, eh? Edward Hall, being the barrister at the place where Miss Nolan is being held, is able to let Holmes and Watson in to see her. She claims that she remembers nothing, besides waking up at Halliday's with a pistol in her hand, standing over Clarendon's body. The only thing she remembers before then is having dinner with Dr. Trevelyan. Miss Nolan says she first met Clarendon at the estate of Cornelius Oldwine. She went there to pick up her sister, and she was surprised when Clarendon professed an interest in her. The two soon fell in love, and he proposed on June 5th. Frances says that there are two other times she has had memory loss. The first time, she suddenly awoke on a horse, despite the fact she is terrified of them. The second time, she woke on Newgate Station. Quentin Hogg and Inspector Lestrade think the Clarendon murder is pretty open and shut. At the London Library, Holmes and Watson read up a bit on hypnotism, as a medical practice. Sir Jasper Meek knows the man was shot at close range. He believes the murder must have occurred somewhere between three and nine in the morning. Murray confirms that the death was due to a shot to the chest, from a low caliber bullet. He notes that the lower part of the victim's shirt had traces of wine. Disraeli O'Brian notes that the victim and Loreta Nolan have had several complaints filed against them. They were cited for public drunkenness and unusual pranks, but no one ever pressed charges. Langdale Pike elaborates on the victim and Loreta Nolan, calling them "The Terrible Twins" due to their habit of pranking others. Guy and Loreta were not romantically involved. Pike does not believe Clarendon was sincere when he proposed to Frances; Holmes concludes that his interest in Frances was limited mainly to her sizeable bank account. Porky Shinwell knows that the victim owed seven thousand pounds to Kilgore, the owner of a local gambling establishment. Gus Bullock, a guard at Kilgore's, was instructed to throw the victim out, should he ever try to end the establishment. A month later, though, things turned around completely. Kilgore and the victim were seen having a grand time together, as if they were good friends. A third man, a thief named Calvin Leach, was part of their little group. Sommerset House has the will of Malcolm's Nolan. His money was separated equally, to his two daughters. This means each daughter received one sixth of the Aberdeen Navigation Company. The Society Burglar ------------------- The Times contains more details about the Society Burglar. This includes a list of victims. When you visit the latest victim, Sir Sanford Leeds, he mentions that his wife is distraught over the theft of her tiara. She last wore it at a party, during which Clarendon poured champagne on her gown, as part of a prank. She kept the tiara in the bottom drawer of her bureau. The thief took nothing besides the tiara. Roger Baker was able to replace the stolen item, without much trouble, so he is hardly bothered by the theft. He confirms that the thief did not search around for the item. H. C. Hardinge says that his wife debated whether or not to wear her bracelet to a party. She decided against it, and when they arrived at home after the party, the bracelet had disappeared from her jewelry box. Otis Richmond thought a servant was the thief, as there was no sign of a search, nor was anything disturbed. He didn't realize it was a genuine thief, until he learned of the rash of thefts through the Times. Bradford Lewin says they were at a reception at Buckingham Palace. Returning home, the wife's favorite ruby earrings were missing. Bessie Dearth, a widow, received the necklace for her 50th anniversary. The house was empty, as she and Sibyl (her housekeeper) were at a charity event during the theft. She kept it hidden inside a book, but the thief went right to it. Nancy Judd's pendant was a family heirloom. She kept it hidden inside a shoe, and she doesn't recall telling anyone about it. Investigation ------------- If you visit Gerald Locke (who brought the case to Holmes' attention), he confirms his belief that Clarendon was a scoundrel who was only after Frances' money. Frances and Locke fought over Clarendon. Locke has an alibi for the murder; he has been on holiday all week, playing in a cribbage tournament. Sir Francis Clarendon (father of the victim) confirms that his son was a ne'er-do-well. He disliked his son's gambling habit, and he disliked the fact that his son spent so much time with Loreta Nolan. Once Sir Francis refused to give his son any more money, his son stopped visiting him. The butler at the estate mentions that, a few weeks ago, Guy appeared unexpectedly. He was badly beaten and refused to say who hurt him. Halliday's Private Hotel (under hotels) is the scene of the murder. Clarendon had lived there for a while, though at one point, he asked to switch rooms. Loreta Nolan visited him often. Once, an angry man came to visit him. On the night of the murder, Frances murder came in. She went directly up the staircase. The clerk heard a gunshot shortly afterwards, and he ran upstairs to find the corpse and Frances' unconscious body. Surprisingly, I would say, Mr. Clarendon was always at home before ten o'clock, when the front doors of the hotel are locked. Inside the room, Holmes and Watson find a bank statement, as well as a blood stain and a sherry stain. The victim had an outfit which was all black, include a pair of shoes that were dyed black. There are ivy vines, leading up to the window. You can go to Frances Nolan's house to talk to her maid, Grace. She talks about the night of the murder. Everything was normal, and everyone went to bed after Dr. Treveylan left at 10:00, after the dinner. Late that night, the maid was awoken by a noise, but she went back to sleep. She saw Miss Frances leaving early the next morning, sometime between 7:30 and 8:00. It struck her as unusual, as Frances never leaves before breakfast. When you visit Loreta Nolan, she does not seem to be particularly disturbed by the recent events. She last saw the victim at a party, the previous week. She doesn't believe Clarendon was going to marry her sister, and she understood that Frances was going to talk to Clarendon about the marriage. Doctor Percy Trevelyan is Loreta's doctor. He dines with Frances every Sunday, and he visited her the night before the murder. He speaks mainly about Loreta, who has some psychological issues as a result of seeing her parents' death by explosion. Loreta has created a fantasy world, in which she is a princess. Doctor Jerrold Mason is Frances' doctor. He does not understand the cause of her blackouts and loss of memory. If you visit Cornelius Oldwine, he talks about the party where Clarendon and Loreta Nolan swam in the fountain. Loreta later got pneumonia, forcing her sister Frances to come and bring her home. That is where Frances first met Clarendon. Claude Kilgore, the gambler that Clarendon owed a debt to, admits to meeting Clarendon a few times. He claims he does not know Calvin Leach. If you visit Calvin Leach, he makes the same claim. Was Porky Shinwell mistaken when he said all three men were friends? Gus Bullock, the guard at Kilgore's, is a rough fellow. He seems pleased by Clarendon's murder, saying he got what he deserved. The final place you must visit is S. Goff's gun shop. He remembers a woman named Frances Nolan, who arrived to purchase a gun. Curiously enough, he gives a description of Loreta, not Frances. Trial ----- When you think you're done investigating, go to trial. If you don't have enough clues, the Judge will send you back to investigation. The judge asks you a series of questions. Q: Who killed Guy Clarendon? A: Loreta Nolan. Q: What was the motive? A: She had her eye on the Cleopatra Tiara. Q: Why did Frances Nolan go to Halliday's? A: She was hypnotized by her sister Loretta. Q: Who was the Society Burglar? A: Guy Clarendon. Q: Why would Guy Clarendon do such a thing? A: His father cut him off, financially. 004-Quick Walkthrough ----------------------------------------------------------- Case One -------- The fastest route through this case is 35 points.
