Brian Leno has unleased a flood of breaking news stories on the suicide of Robert E. Howard, who shot himself in the head and lingered for hours before death.
Scott Connors just popped in the notice above, which he found credited to the Heraldo d Brownsville — and also dated June 11, 1936, like the ones Brian turned up. I suspect the name might translate into the Brownsville Herald, but whatever.
Brownsville is the large city at the southernmost tip of Texas, on the gulf, so the REH news was spreading far beyond his own section of the state.
