Thanks to everyone who wrote with suggestions about finding out more about a murder in Campbeltown. I visited Campbeltown last weekend but it turns out that older copies of the paper are kept in Oban and I didn't have time to go there. I managed to get to the Mitchell Library for a short time and found a small piece in the Glasgow Herald which makes me think that more local papers would have had a lot more. There was a piece in the Monday paper detailing the murder events which took place in the early hours of Sunday 2nd May 1897 but says that the husband who killed his wife ran off. In Tuesday's paper it detailed that he was still on the run from the police and there was nothing for the remainder of that week which was all I had time to check. It will be very difficult for me to get to Oban and I wondered if anyone who lived locally would be able to do the research on my behalf either for a fee or I could do some research in Glasgow in return either at the Mitchell Library or at Park Circus. If anyone is interested could they contact me privately at casalveta@ntlworld.com Thanks again to everyone who replied to me before. Carla (Scotland)
