Rene Castellani: The Dizzy Dialer
In 1965, Rene Castellani was working as a radio promotions manager on his show “The Dizzy Dialer” in New Westminster, and slowly killing his wife, Esther Castellani, by poisoning her with arsenic. This had been going on for a period of several months with no one noticing, not even the doctors. Mrs. Castellani had gone to the hospital many times but doctors could not discover what was causing her illness. After having been sick for nine months Mrs. Castellani died on July, 11 1965. The autopsy report showed that Mrs. Castellani had died from "a viral infection and heart attack." Several months after her burial, a woman named Adelaide Miller, presumably Rene’s accomplice, who planned to marry him after Rene had collected the insurance money,

    Potassium and Tiffany Lamp

    I believe that Horace Throat commited the murder of Mr. Dusty Mantel at the Inn owned by Mrs. Eve Dropper. Although all the occupants of the Inn had it in for Dusty due to his immoral means and conniving ways, only one of them brought his life to a sudden end. Both Anita Mann, his girlfriend, and Chester Drauers were conspiring against him. She wanted out of the relationship because she was “tired of Dusty beating on her” and Drauers wanted the Tiffany Lamp because he had knowledge of its true value. Drauers told Anita that he would take care of everything and later after the auction he phoned the mob boss, Don Angelini, for a hit on Dusty. Don said it would take two days time and there would be a man. Since two days did not pass from this call and there was no other man or suspect I ruled out Drauers and Anita’s involvement in his death even though they had direct contact with his tea cup. OJ Glasse was being blackmailed by Dusty Mantel, about the second and final Will that he discovered on his dead brother’s desk. He works for the FBI as a bio-chemist and would probably have access to potassium cyanide, but he “couldn’t even kill a rat for an experiment”, not to mention there was no direct opportunity after Dusty left to change. Tiffany Glasse had been robbed of her father’s fortune by Dusty, yet, she did not seem to know about it. She did know that he had outbid her for her mothers beloved Tiffany Lamp from which she was named. Eve Dropper overheard them arguing and yelling at each other, presumably about the lamp. She wasn’t near his table before he died and she did not have the opportunity to poison Dusty. Eve dropper was my next suspect idea, but I too, ruled her out as the murderer. She had it all, motive, opportunity and Ability (to some extend). She was the reason he left the room to change and he was about to inform her about the foreclosure on the Inn. There was only one commonality with the rat poison and the tea cup: Sodium, an alkaloid. Although he…

    but before this, two of her children, Caroline and Axel died during infancy, of acute colitis which has symptoms of nausea, lower abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fever which are similar symptoms of different forms of poisoning. Although Belle was never accused of poisoning her children, there are suspicions that she was responsible for their deaths. Coinsedently, both children had life insurance, and the companies paid out. But her first known murder was of her husband, Mads, on July 30, 1900. On that day, Mads two life insurance policies overlapped on that same day of his death. When the doctors examined his body, they found what looked to be strychnine poisoning, But prior to that, the sorenson family doctor had been treating him for a case of enlarged heart so instead he concluded that Mads had died of a heart…

    The patient had lots of scarring tissue on his heart showing that he had previous damage to his heart before. There was little good cell tissue located on his heart indicating that he has had problems with this for a while. When looking at the lungs there were many white spots located on the lungs indicating talcum powder which is used as filler in many drugs this indicates that he may have snorted the drugs into his system.

    Galileo Letter To Castelli Summary

    In Galileo’s letter to Castelli, Galileo explores the validity of the many interpretations of the Holy Scripture. Galileo states that if the “Holy Scripture can never lie or err and that its declarations are absolutely and inviolably true,” but its interpretations are not always true. He also states that taking the text literally would create not only “contradictions, but also serious heresies and blasphemies”. Galileo explains since Scripture is a dictation of the Holy Spirit has to be dictated in such a way to reach all types of people, not just the highly informed intellectuals. Scripture must also be written to persuade individuals to want to seek out salvation. Additionally, some of its interpreters can make mistakes and alter the true meaning of the scripture based on their own line of thought. Therefore, individuals cannot assume that “all interpreters speak by divine interpretation” and are revealing the absolute truth.…

    Woman Dies a Brutal Death in the Valley of Ashes - "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald -write a news report on one of the major incidences in The Great Gatsby

    Mavro Michaelis, a good friend of George Wilson's, had this to say "She rushed out into the dusk, waving her hands and shouting." (Fitzgerald 130) It caught Michaelis' attention but "before he could move from his door, the business was over." (Fitzgerald 130)As she blindly ran into the street like a madwoman, she was struck and instantly killed by the 'death car.' (Fitzgerald 131)"Michaelis and another man reached her first, but when they had torn open her shirtwaist, still damp with perspiration, they saw that her left breast was swinging loose like a flap, and there was no need to listen for the heart beneath." (Fitzgerald 131)Michaelis described the deceased's face by saying "the mouth was wide open and ripped a little at the corners, as though she had choked a little in giving up the tremendous vitality she had stored so long." (Fitzgerald 131)A man who was present at the scene of the crime said that "it was a yellow car, the car passed me down the road going faster than forty. Going fifty, sixty." (Fitzgerald 133)When Wilson learned of the car that had killed his beloved wife, his emotional state became further deranged. Alex Goodall, a neighbour, had this to say: "He grew quieter and began to talk about the yellow car. He announced that he had a way of finding out whom the yellow car belonged to, and then he blurted out that a couple of months ago his wife had come from the city with her face bruised and her nose swollen." (Fitzgerald 149)"Her and her husband were having some sort of trouble…He had kept her locked up for a few days and was now suddenly talking about moving away from here. I think she was justtrying to escape him," said Michaelis.…

    Compare And Contrast When People Come To Move So Fast

    (SIP-A) When Mildred overdoses, she almost dies, but when Montag talks to her about it, she brushes if off and doesn’t think about it, she just moves forward. (STEWE-1) When Montag comes home from his work, he finds his wife on the ground next to a empty pill bottle. Mildred is dying, because she was moving too fast to realize what she had done. This happens so frequently, because the men who save her are not medics, instead they are plumbers. When Montag mentions this to them, the plumber simple says “‘Hell!’ The operator’s cigarette moved on his lip. ‘We got these cases nine or ten a night. Got so many, starting a few years ago, we had special machines built. With the optical lens, of course, that was new; the rest is ancient. You don’t need an .M.D., case like this; all you need is two handymen, clean up the problem in half an hour’” (Bradbury 13). This happens so frequently in the society that even plumbers are able to revive people like this, an overdose state. (STEWE-2) The next morning, Mildred wakes up, the seashells already in her ear, and moving from one thing to another. ‘Yes,’ he said. ‘I wanted to talk to you.’ He paused. ‘You took all the pills in your bottle last night.’ ‘Oh, I wouldn't do that,’ she said, surprised. ‘The bottle was empty.’ ‘I wouldn't do a thing like that. Why would I do a thing like that?’ she asked. ‘Maybe you took two pills and forgot and took two more, and forgot again and took two more, and were so dopy you kept right on until you had thirty or forty of them in you.’ ‘Heck,’ she said, ‘what would I want to go and do a silly thing like that for?’ ‘I don't know,’ he said. She was quite obviously waiting for him to go. ‘I didn't do that,’ she said. ‘Never in a billion years.’ ‘Alright if you say so,’ he said. ‘That's what the lady said.’ She turned back to her script. ‘What's on this afternoon?’ he asked tiredly. She didn't look up from her…
