A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 242 Hey, trouble is coming

Hector Fellowes, the owner of the "Daily Saint-Denis", came to the office of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. He usually did not appear here. Once he showed up in the editor-in-chief's office, everyone knew that he might have to work overtime tonight.

Fellows said straight to the point:

“We will always suppress news reporting on workers’ strikes and then publish this article.”

The editor took off his glasses. He stood up and went to the door. After closing the door, he also pulled down the blinds on the glass window to block the view from outside. Then he returned to his desk, put on his glasses again, and looked at From Fellowes' manuscript.

The above is an article refuting the previous mining accidents and what other newspapers reported. It also emphasized that the mine owner Archibald Jameson was the largest and most generous employer in the area. It was also interspersed with Several unfounded testimonies of workers, and finally the accusation and rejection of the workers' organization for failing to ensure the personal safety of workers.

The editor-in-chief looked at his boss seriously and seriously, and then pointed out:

"Mr. Fellows, I am a professional journalist with professional ethics. Your method is too simple and crude, but it just so happens that I have a better one here."

As he spoke, the editor took out another manuscript from the drawer and handed it to Fellows, and then continued:
"The best way to make the impact of a report disappear is not to publish another report that refutes it, but to divert the public's attention with more explosive news."

"This is real?"

"It's not fake anyway."

"Okay! The sales volume of this issue must be good?"

Otherwise, he asked him to be the editor-in-chief. Fellows read the manuscript in his hand again, nodded and said with a smile:

"Okay, this is good. Of course, don't waste my manuscript. Just find a small corner and post it. I can rest assured that you will do the work. The bonus will be doubled at the end of the month. Do your best."

……

The next day, the newsboys selling newspapers on the streets, without exception, shouted the headlines on the front page of the "Journal of Saint-Denis".

"Extra! Extra! Well-known industrialist Arthur Callahan is suspected to be a member of the Van der Linde Gang!"

"The number one gangster in the West, the number one gang thug"

"The famous French noblewoman, Lucia Carrasco, died tragically at the hands of gangsters!"

"Come here!"

"Hey kid, give me one!"

Today's newspapers were particularly easy to sell. I thought that I would definitely be able to sell the amount required by the masthead today, and I would finally be able to avoid being beaten when I went back, so the newsboy shouted even harder.

And this scene is happening in the streets and alleys of Saint-Denis.

I have to mention here that although the "Journal of Saint-Denis" seems to be just a city newspaper, in fact it was transported to the New Hanover area and the entire state of Lemoyne with the freight train in the early morning. Even further afield.

Overall, the influence of this newspaper cannot be underestimated.

No, Malloy, who is in Valentine, has just bought a newspaper from the newsboy standing on the roadside, and is now frowning at the content, even though he already knew that Ya Arthur didn't know how he solved his wanted case, but Arthur's solution was definitely not something that could be mentioned in the newspapers.

The "Spring and Autumn Writing Style" of the newspaper in his hand will obviously cause Arthur a big trouble.

Malloy stood there and read the newspaper again. Without looking back, he ordered Cole, who was following behind him:

"Cole, go get Kieran for me."

"Mr. Sheriff, is this a slander? Is someone trying to frame Mr. Callahan?" the newsboy said with an indignant look.

Malloy was not surprised by the attitude of the newsboy in front of him.

Nowadays, there are no locals in Valentine who would say anything bad about Arthur. The New Hanover charity group that Downs created before was originally called the New Hanover Begging Group when it was in Downs' hands. .But after Arthur took over, he left it in the hands of Mrs. Downs, who had more financial support from Arthur than before, as well as some ingenious philanthropic measures that were not available before.

Not only did this West Hanover charity do a lot of good, it also gained an excellent reputation.

Newly built orphanages, rescue stations, and free dinners provided regularly in churches...

Thinking of this, Malloy said firmly to the newsboy:

"Of course, Arthur is a good man, and this is because someone wants to attack him."

"I knew it!"

"Go ahead and sell your papers, kids don't worry about that."

The newsboy said stubbornly:
"Hmph! I'll tell everyone who comes to buy a newspaper the truth! Stop looking down on people, Sheriff."

Similarly, many people who knew Arthur Callahan or knew Arthur Morgan also saw the contents of this newspaper.

In the Lemoyne State Court Judge's Office, Judge Meredith Holden called the clerk Henrietta Blakely with a bad look on her face and ordered:

"Run to Rhodes Town immediately and ask Chief Taylor where Mr. Callahan is now."

"Judge Holden, I think it may not be a good decision to contact Mr. Callahan at this time." Blakeley said worriedly.

Meredith waved the newspaper in her hand in front of Blakely and said:
"I understand your concerns very well, go now."

"……OK."

Rhodes Town, Sheriff's Office, there is a stack of the latest issue of the "St. Denis Times" on the desk of our Sheriff Martin, and on the sofa next to him, Martin is sitting across from Baird, the governor's secretary.

"So Mr. Callaghan is not in Rhodes Town?"

"correct."

Baird looked at Martin who was sitting opposite and smoking and asked:
"Did he go to Saint Denis? He must have been, or the Saint Denis Times wouldn't have published this, Sergeant Taylor. Do you know what he intends to do when he goes to Saint Denis this time?"

"Mr. Baird, if you are really concerned, you might as well go to Saint Denis yourself. I don't have any news to tell you."

The above-mentioned interesting reactions or conversations are taking place in the mayor's office, the Hongmen Hall, the Cornwall office, the Pinkerton Building, the homes of association directors, etc. Although they may be different, the ones in this newspaper The news really attracted their attention.

As for our client?

On the third floor of the Saint-Denis Hotel, Henry delivered today's newspaper to Arthur with a complicated expression. Arthur, who had just woken up, was wearing a nightgown. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Henry's expression, and he asked:

"What's wrong? Are Karl's people causing trouble for you?"

"No, Mr. Callahan, you should read today's newspaper first." With that said, Henry handed the newspaper in his hand to Arthur.

"..."

After looking at the title and content above, Arthur felt quite strange for a moment.

So, is this considered famous?
It says 'well-known industrialist'.

However, it doesn't seem to be a good thing.
