World Champion Dead
Halifax - A wire arrived on this desk today from our agent in New York City detective Vic Langille. He reports that a police source has given him the name of the dead man found at the Stittler Hotel last week. The name was first discovered on the hotel registry as a P. Stuffling. Further investigation has led Langille to conclude that it was none other than world heavyweight champion Phil Scott who was found shot to death in his hotel room. According to Langille, the police are on the verge of declaring it a suicide. This, in spite of the fact that friends have told our detective that Scott disliked firearms and would not have carried one.
