Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Volume II Hints
What should I learn from the Times?
1 of 10: You didn't learn anything about the case from the introduction, so you should probably look in today's paper for the details.
2 of 10: The title of this case should tell you what to look for. Look for two two different cases about lions.
3 of 10: The first one is about the death of two lions in Hyde Park (page 1, column 3). All articles are in the August 17, 1888 issue unless otherwise noted.
4 of 10: But there's also information on the death of Stephen Lyons (page 2, column 2).
5 of 10: You will eventually need to find the owners of the two dead lions.
6 of 10: They were part of a circus show.
7 of 10: They're part of Hengler's Circus (page 1, column 2), so go visit the owner.
8 of 10: You will also find a bit of information on Thomas O'Neill. Look in the July 4, 1888 article on page 2, column 3.
9 of 10: And find some information about what happened in Germany.
10 of 10: Specifically, about the theft of the Oldenburg Jewels. It's the next article down after the one about O'Neill and the robbery at Garrard & Company.
