Douglas Henslowe's Safety Deposit Box
PHOTOGRAPHS
A dozen fading photographs wrapped in tissue and placed in a yellowing envelope.
Perverse and disturbing pictures. Clearly taken from concealment, with each capturing between three and a dozen people engaged in depraved sex acts in a variety of interior and exterior locations. Slightly more than half of the photos were taken indoors in one or more residences of opulent and yet tasteful decoration and costly furnishings.A few photos were taken outside, apparently in private gardens.
Two photos were taken in the same non-opulent working-class apartment or servant’s room. Those in the photos are well coiffed, some wear elaborate jewelry, although there is no clothing in evidence to give clues as to the social status of the individuals shown. One man, apparently of Latin American descent, recurs in all of the photos. He is participating with obvious gusto in all the various activities on display. Edgar Job appears in two of the main set of interior photos.
BOOKS OF ACCOUNT
Appear to have been actual working books, as opposed to copies. The books appear to have been written in some sort of code. There was a buck sheet tucked into the back cover of the book.
BOOKS OF ACCOUNT (DECODED)
BOOKS OF ACCOUNT (DECODED)
The books of account record information about the inventories and sales of a product identified by the letter “N”. The “N” was tracked in very small volumes of liquid ounces. The distribution occurred through a network of anonymous retailers identified by code names like “Slick”, “Moses”, and “Umbrella”. A single unit volume of “N” appears to have fetched roughly $3 of “retail” price. The code names “Black” and “Towncar” are used in the book. “Towncar” was clearly the code name of the accountant who kept these books.
Olivia Clarendon
Back in 1924 Olivia wasn't the movie star she is in 1936. Still, she seemed to have made it into a lot of the photographs found in Douglas Henslowe's Safety Deposit Box, where she was found performing depraved and perverse acts with the likes of Ramon Echevarria, Edgar Job, Richard Spend, George Ayers and a dozen others.
Ramon Echavarria
The ringleader of the 1924 cult that numbered Edgar Job, Richard Spend and Olivia Clarendon. Was killed during the raid by Vince Stack, who blew his head off with a shotgun.
Richard Spend's sister, Yolanda Spenzel, was able to fill in the first name of this degenerate: Ramon.

"John Smith" and his Asian associates
"JOHN SMITH" |
Very
little was known about this man. We encountered him and
his Oriental hanger-ons in a diner in Savannah. No-one spoke, and "John Smith"
handed me a note. After I had read the note, one of the Asians
looked at a child who was enjoying an ice cream with its parent, and
opened his jacket to reveal a hatchet. The threat was clear.
The Orientals were all showing Thai tattoos (Marcus recognized them as such).
If Smith had any of these tattoos, they must have been hidden underneath
the jacket he wore.
Telegram found in Hotel Adelphi, Savannah
This telegram was found in a book in "John Smith's" room in Hotel Adelphi, on Barnard Street in Savannah. This John Smith is the Caucasian male that was accompanied by a group of tattooed Asians.
Henslowe's Notebook
The notebook of Douglas Henslowe, found buried in a box in the Henslowe family cemetery. A combination diary and sketchbook that detailed Henslowe’s memories of the investigation he undertook with Walter Winston and company in ’24, written in a mad shorthand in a jumbled stream of thoughts. It contained pages and pages of sketches, drawn presumably from Henslowe’s memory, of gruesome, violent images of figures dancing or writhing against huge, licking flames. Another disturbing theme throughout included various drawings of a multi-limbed, headless form with arms, or tentacles, or legs, ending in dripping mouths, biting off heads and tearing human figures apart. The notes also made mention of the three other members, Vince Stack, Katherine Clark and Franklin Cormac Kullman.

Dr Keaton
DR KEATON |
Dr.
Jonathon Keaton was the head doctor at Joy Grove Sanatorium in Savannah, Georgia and was treating both the patients, Douglas Henslowe and Edgar Job.
When confronted with the evidence that he was fraudulently charging Mrs Victoria Henslowe for the treatment of Edgar Job, he reluctantly agreed to hand over Douglas Henslowe to a private doctor. In return Joy Grove was offered monetary assistance from Janet Winston-Rogers.
