Arthur Blackwood, an influential New York attorney, has contacted his cousin, Calvin Bradley, in a desperate plea to find evidence that will clear his good name. Eight months ago, Arthur and his wife, Rose, were vacationing at their summer cabin, near Whitehall, Washington County, New York. The cabin, with its peaceful view of Castle Creek, a tributary of the Mettawee River, was built by Arthur’s great-great-greatgrandfather, Milton Blackwood, in 1717. But the relaxing month-long vacation Arthur and Rose were enjoying ended in terror and tragedy. In the early hours of July 19th, 1928, Arthur was found wandering the North Ash Trail by John and Helen Turner. Arthur was disorientated, and his arms and chest were covered in blood. Rose could not be found and Arthur was arrested for the presumed murder of his wife. The murder trial begins on March 18th, 1929.
The New York State Police and the local Washington County Sheriff ’s Department have completed their investigation of the Blackwood cabin. All pertinent evidence was collected, photographed, and cataloged, and will be presented by the prosecution at Arthur’s upcoming trial. Arthur’s defense attorney (and business partner), Joseph Klein, is doing his best to keep Arthur out of the electric chair but with a lack of evidence to the contrary, Klein fears that Arthur will spend the rest of his days behind bars. Arthur’s mental faculties have returned, somewhat, and he’s begun babbling about how Rose was taken by "darkness." Society at large believes Arthur Blackwood to be a cold-blooded killer who should fry for his crime. It is down to you to discover whether Arthur is innocent or guilty.
Today is Saturday, March 2nd, 1929, eight months after Arthur Blackwood was arrested for the murder of his wife. As you enter the law office of Joseph Klein, you look upon a breathtaking view of the New York skyline. Klein bids you welcome and gestures for you to take a seat.
