Trivials

The most infamous Sunday Graphic number was from 15 September 1935. Packages of human flesh, found in Moffat (Scotland), were surrounded by sheets of a local edition of this paper. This paper, which had been delivered to the home of Buck Ruxton from Lancaster, Lancashire, became part of the evidence that helped the investigators and prosecutors to convict Ruxton for a double murder.
