At eleven o'clock last Friday, newsboys outside the Velvet Door were crying an EXTRA: Congress had voted to end Prohibition. Within the hour every bootlegger on North Clark Street had sold his stock at a quarter of its price. By morning there was no such vote, no such extra, and no such newsboys.

Roaring Twenties: case 28

This Evil case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 20 of them carry a clue; the other 5 only have something to say about themselves. 6 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 28 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
