The archive is bound in five books. View the facsimile pages in this paper, or take the original PDFs. Collection dated July 2026.
Volume I
This first book gathers the primary documents and forensic plates of the collection — clippings, photographs, and document images against which the later volumes are checked. It preserves the material examined in the investigation; it does not close the case.
20 PDF pages · 20.8 MB
Volume II
Contemporary newspaper columns record how the death was told to the public in 1936, and how the family later fought over the will and the estate. The plates keep those headlines and the disputes that followed.

Volume III
Personal photographs, funeral-related material, and research notes widen the record beyond the day of the death. The plates here are the private and documentary remainder of the collection.
21 PDF pages · 16.9 MB
Volume IV
This volume tests the reported office sequence — window clearance, timing, and witness proximity — against the plates. It is the collection’s argument from space and time, not a courtroom finding.
15 PDF pages · 0.03 MB
Volume V
The closing book examines witness accounts, institutional conflict, and the human evidence surrounding the death. It sets those names and proposed motives beside the earlier volumes.
