"GIRL STRANGLED IN PARLOR AS FAMILY SLEEPS UPSTAIRS," Toronto Star. June 1, 1943. Page 2. ---- Youth, 18, Tells Police Girl Is Dead on Chesterfield ---- AT FORT WILLIAM --- Special to The Star Fort William June 1 - Miss Antonetti Rossetti, 17. Larks St., is dead and an 18-year-old youth is being held by police as a result of an apparent strangulation case here today. The girl, according to police, was found lying on the chesterfield in the front room of the home of her uncle, Antonio Leonzio, who, together with his wife and family, were asleep upstairs, and who knew nothing of the case until police called to investigate.

In a statement issued today, police said the suspect came into the police station about 1 a.m. and reported to the sergeant, Charles Palmer, that the girl was dead.

He is being held by police pending investigation and instructions from the crown attorney.

The youth is said to have given police a letter purported to have been written by himself and to have made a statement.

"As a result," police stated. "Sergt. Palmer and Con. Harry Turner went to the home and found Miss Rossetti dead on the chesterfield, apparently strangled. No weapon or instrument was found."

The suspect, police said, has been living in west Fort William and has been keeping company with the girl.

Yknow all things considered, Blutch and Chesterfield are probably the 22nd cavalry’s best Corporal and Sergeant ever. It’s possible their predecessors never lived long enough to do much of anything, especially considering they were given these promotions on their First Day

Die Comicserie Die Blauen Boys (Les Tuniques Bleues) verbindet auf einzigartige Weise Humor mit historischer Genauigkeit und spielt während des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs (1861–1865). Die Hauptfiguren, Sergeant Cornelius Chesterfield und Corporal Blutch, sind Soldaten der Unionsarmee, die in zahlreiche turbulente und oft komische Situationen geraten. Während Chesterfield ein pflichtbewusster Patriot ist, versucht der skeptische Blutch, den Schrecken des Krieges zu entkommen – ein Gegensatz, der für viel Situationskomik sorgt. Die Mischung aus Satire und historischer Tiefe Obwohl Die Blauen Boys eine humoristische Serie ist, nimmt sie sich durchaus historischer Themen an. Die Comics zeigen das Leben einfacher Soldaten im Bürgerkrieg und lassen die Leser in bedeutende Ereignisse der Zeit eintauchen. Dabei begegnen Chesterfield und Blutch historischen Figuren wie General Ulysses S. Grant oder Robert E. Lee. Raoul Cauvin, der Texter der Serie, verarbeitet in seinen Geschichten oft satirische Elemente. So werden militärische Hierarchien, Kriegstreiberei und die Absurdität von Konflikten mit einem Augenzwinkern hinterfragt. Dennoch bleibt die Serie respektvoll gegenüber der historischen Realität und vermittelt ein Bild des Bürgerkriegs, das sowohl unterhaltsam als auch nachdenklich stimmt. Der Zeichenstil: Von Salvérius zu Lambil Die visuelle Gestaltung der Serie veränderte sich im Laufe der Jahre. Ursprünglich wurde sie von Louis Salvérius gezeichnet, der einen eher karikaturhaften Stil pflegte. Nach seinem plötzlichen Tod 1972 übernahm Willy Lambil die Illustrationen und gab der Serie einen realistischeren Touch. Lambils detaillierte Darstellungen der Uniformen, Landschaften und Schlachten tragen zur authentischen Atmosphäre bei. Die Veröffentlichung in Deutschland In Deutschland erschienen die ersten Geschichten ab 1969 in verschiedenen Verlagen, darunter Kauka, Bastei und Carlsen. Seit 2004 wird die Serie von Salleck Publications fortgeführt, wo auch ältere Bände neu aufgelegt werden. Fazit: Ein Klassiker für Fans von humorvollen Historiencomics Die Blauen Boys bietet eine perfekte Mischung aus Witz und geschichtlichem Hintergrund. Die Serie zeigt, dass selbst ernste Themen wie Krieg mit einer humorvollen Note erzählt werden können, ohne dabei den Respekt vor der Historie zu verlieren. Wer Abenteuer, Satire und Historie in Comicform schätzt, sollte diese Serie auf jeden Fall kennenlernen.

Pride festival criticized for “throw a milkshake at Nigel Farage” game

A carnival game at a Pride festival in England over the weekend has been deemed in poor taste and accused of setting “a dangerous precedent” for its call to “throw a milkshake” at far-right British politician Nigel Farage. Farage has been publicly splattered with two milkshakes in the past by people who disagree with his politics. Farage has a long history in the UK of stoking anti-immigrant fervor with his xenophobic policy positions and nationalist worldviews. As leader of the Reform UK party, he pledged to “ban transgender ideology” in schools and stop social transitioning. Related JK Rowling defends Nazi-loving transphobe as activists throw tomato juice at her Posie Parker was met with 5000 protesters in New Zealand after her Nazi-supported protest in Australia. The “Toss a milkshake at Nigel Farage” game was set up at the Chesterfield Pride festival grounds on Sunday by the Chesterfield and North Derbyshire branch of Stand Up Against Racism. The group described it as “harmless fun.” Global perspectives delivered right to your inbox Our newsletter bridges borders to bring you LGBTQ+ news from around the world. Subscribe to our Newsletter today Others did not so much share the group’s opinion, including the intended “victim” of the game himself. “I’m all for a laugh, but this goes too far,” Farage said on Thursday. A Derbyshire local agreed, saying the game was “not just disrespectful, it’s a dangerous precedent.” Police at the Pride festival were alerted to the game, which asked carnival-goers to throw different “flavored” sponge balls at a cardboard cut-out of the Reform UK leader. They declined any action. Prizes for hitting Farage with a “milkshake” included sweets and a Stand Up to Racism badge. A spokesperson for the group sponsoring the game called the controversy manufactured. “We like to think it’s the sort of game that Nigel himself would smile at. He is surely aware that although four million people voted for him, many more object to his views on LGBT rights, women’s rights and migrants,” the group told the Derbyshire Times. “Nobody was harmed and many people had a good laugh and welcomed our presence. Some community police officers did stroll past but clearly thought it was harmless fun, too.” A spokesperson for Derbyshire Constabulary confirmed that it had received a complaint about the stall and added, “The report was reviewed by a sergeant and it was deemed no laws had been broken. No further action is being taken.” Conservative chat show host Alex Phillips, a former member of the European Parliament and colleague of Farage, saw things differently, describing Farage in terms similar to those Donald Trump’s supporters did following his attempted assassination two weeks ago. Nigel Farage's fear of being the next target is a stark reminder of the dangers of political violence.

Whether you love him or loathe him, he is doing it for you,” Phillips said. “And frankly, Chesterfield Pride needs to grow up, because they would not accept this if this was against a gay politician.” Chesterfield Pride declined to comment on the controversy. Farage, 60, has been assaulted twice with milkshakes: first in 2019 when a Brexit opponent threw one at him, accusing the then-leader of the Brexit Party of “spouting bile and racism” in the lead-up to European Parliament elections.  Farage pushed for Brexit, the controversial plan to withdrawal the United Kingdom from the European Union.

Edward Gardner, Co-Founder Of Soft Sheen Products And Titan In Business And Philanthropy, Passed Away At 98

Many are mourning the loss of Edward Gardner, a Chicago titan in business and philanthropy.

Gardner, the co-founder of the hair care company Soft Sheen Products Inc., died Monday surrounded by family. He was 98.

Gardiner and his wife, Bettiann, founded Soft Sheen in 1964. The company grew exponentially, and was the latest Black-owned beauty company in the U.S. by the late 1980s.

Gardner was also known for his dedication to the arts. He and his wife spearheaded the development of the New Regal Theater at 1641 E. 79th St. The theater drew acts from Gladys Knight to Tyler Perry in its years of operation.

Gardner also helped create the nonprofit Black On Black Love, which addressed violence.

In addition, Gardner used Soft Sheen's advertising and communication resources – leveraging an effort to raise $300,000 and staff to mount a campaign that registered more than 200,000 voters 40 years ago, a news release noted. That effort led to the election of Mayor Harold Washington as Chicago's first Black mayor.

At the age of 87 in 2012, Gardner organized more than 1,000 demonstrators on a march to protest a lack of Black workers at a South Side construction site.

Gardner was also a co-owner of the Chicago Bulls and a board member at Chicago United and The Chicago Urban League. He was born Feb. 15, 1925, to Frank and Eva Gardner in the West Chesterfield neighborhood.

Gardner graduated from Fenger High School and Chicago Teachers College-now CSU. He was also a sergeant in the U.S. Army during World War II.

His son Gary remarked,

"He was my father, my hero, my teacher," Gardner's son, Gary, said in a news release. "He taught me how to engage people with humanity and humility."

Gardner's daughter, Terri, added: "My father saw the untapped potential of his community. He believed that with access to opportunity, hard work, a quality education and safe neighborhoods, there is nothing we can't achieve."

A private family service is planned. -(source: cbs news)

Marleybonean Dog Breeds

back to your regularly scheduled lore posting

Certain dog breeds seem to be associated with specific occupations/genders in Marleybone. I looked through many of the Dog NPCs in Marleybone (both W101 and P101) and Celestia, and I was definitely able to make some connections.

"Marijuana Trial of 5 Men Opens," Windsor Star. July 7, 1933. Page 5 & 6. ----- Mounties Tell Story of Sandwich West Raid; Seeds and Vegetable Matter Exhibits ==== The story of a raid by eight Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers on the premises of Michael Rainone in Sandwich West Township was related before Magistrate J. A. Hanrahan in the county police court Tuesday after-noon as trial got under way of five men charged with possession of marijuana.

The accused are, Michael Rainone. his son, Herman Rainone; Robert J. Bezaire, Ross W. Gray, and Julien Bolsmier. All five pleaded not guilty. Their defence counsel is Cecil R. Croll. W. E. Kelly, prosecutor for the Dominion Department of Justice, represents the Crown in the case. The trial will be resumed at 3 p.m. Thursday.

OFFICER EXHIBITS SEEDS Highlight of the opening day of the trial was the submission of evidence in the form of seeds and vegetable matter by Sergeant G. R. Johnson, R.C.MP. of Toronto, who for the past seven years has devoted his en-tire time to investigation of plants under the Narcotic Drug Act.

One exhibit was a green tin bread-box tied with a cord sealed by red sealing wax which Sgt. Johnson said he found in Rainone's house, located 140 feet south of Tecumseh road near Rankin avenue. It contained a multitude of seeds and vegetation which "gave off a terrible stench" when he opened it at the time of the raid, the Mounted Police officer testified.

Constable Cyril A. Lazelle identified a red tin can formerly used as a tobacco tin, which he said was found containing green vegetation substance on the warming closet of the cook stove in the Rainone kitchen.

"SPICES FOR SPAGHETTI" He testified that Constable William S. Ramsay remarked, "You are in the business," and that Michael Rainone replied, "That is what you think, but it is only spices for the making of spaghetti."

Rainone, a ruddy faced man with greying hair, sat stolidly in the prisoner's box with a bored look on his face during the testimony. Of the four other accused, Bezaire is the eldest although a young man, and the others are youths. These showed a lively interest in the testimony. According to witnesses all were making their home in Rainone's house, a two room shack with an upper floor reached by a ladder through a hole in the kitchen ceiling.

In cross-examining witnesses, Mr. Croll sought to emphasize the confusions and extreme disorder of the premises, pointing out that there was a little of everything on the place, Sgt. Johnson, however, maintained, that although the interior of the house was ill-kept there was not a great amount of disorder indoors.

A series of sealed packages containing what Sgt. Johnson described as seeds and green leaf substances were filed as exhibits. The material in the packages was gathered by different members of the raiding party in their search of the premises, Sgt. Johnson stated. TOBACCO AND CHAFF Sgt. Johnson identified the property of Michael Rainone, a light brown overcoat a pocket of which he said contained tobacco and green leaf chaff. When a fin was found containing ground up leaves on top of the stove, Mr. Johnson said he arrested Michael Rainone for possession of marijuana.

When he arrived at the premises, Sgt. Johnson said Michael Rainone was the only one of the accused there, but there were two women, one a girl just over 16 years, sitting on a chesterfield in the living room. The raiding party was at the place somewhat over two and a half hours, he said, and during that time all the accused except Bolsmier arrived at the house and were placed under arrest. The witness said that the first time he had seen Boismier was in the courtroom. Bezaire arrived 20 minutes after the officers had arrived. Gray about an hour later and then Herman Rainone arrived on the scene. Herman was questioned by Sergeant R. L. Woodhouse, Sgt. Johnson stated.

BOX IN LIVING ROOM The green box, from which a foul odor had issued when opened, the witness said, was found on the floor of the living room between the chesterfield and a radio.

Sgt, Johnson, under cross-examination by Mr. Croll, said that there was a great deal of filth such as rotting manure in the yard, but some semblance of home-like things in the house, such as ornaments atop the chest drawers.

In conversation with Michael Rainone, Sgt. Johnson testified that the accused told him "he collected bread and cigaret butts from restaurants." "That's a new one on me," ejaculated Mr. Croll.

OTHER WITNESSES William Taylor, a bus driver for the S. W. & A. Railway Company, who owns a home on Tecumseh road near the Rainone house, testified that he had known Rainone and his son for some time and that to the best of his knowledge Bezaire and Gray lived at the Rainone shack. He wasn't sure whether Boismier also lived there but said he had seen him frequently about the place. Mr. Taylor said that Rainone had cultivated his land last year and had started cultivation this year.

Edward E. Beals, a real estate man who said he owned 3,000 lots in Sandwich West, testified to the purchase of the property by Rainone. Thomas Green, registrar of deeds for Essex County, testified to the ownership of two lots by Michael Rainone at the scene where the raid took place, that Rainone was the registered owner and had acquired title in 1941. A. W.Spurgeon, photographer, identified numerous photographs he had taken of the house and property for the R.C.M.P.

The raid was conducted on June 12 by the R.C.M.P. officers headed by Staff Sergeant A. W. Anderson. Officers who took part in the raid, who have yet to testify in the trial, include Corporal Woodhouse, Constable Ramsay, Constable Roy S. McLeod, Constable Randall B. Hara, Constable B.Murray Lamb and Mr. Anderson.

The charges now being heard are a follow-up on the arrest and conviction of J. L. Brooks, of Victoria boulevard, Sandwich West, for the sale of marijuana. He was sentenced to three years in the Kingston penitentiary and fined $900.

I can't help but think about how the Sarge only outranks Blutch by pure random chance. In another universe, Blutch is a Sergeant and Chesterfield is a Corporal and I think that's really funny tbh I don't think anything changes, Blutch can try to pull the "I'm your superior" thing but Chesterfield still has a gun nothing changes because they'd still be fighting like they normally do and if anything they get sent on even more missions because the sergeant would be a fucking disgrace they're trying to get rid of. Also there's probably a good bit of "if I work hard I can outrank you"
