Midnight Magazine, October 21, 1922 This issue opens with a contest announcement—Midnight's "Thrill Contest" closed October 14th, having received overwhelming reader submissions of midnight adventures. Prize winners will be announced in the November 11th issue. The main feature, "Was His Last Sermon a Prophecy of His Murder?" by Arthur A., investigates the recent New Brunswick, New Jersey murder of Reverend Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, found together beneath an orchard tree. The article examines Hall's character and his relationship with Mills, noting community perceptions and the tragedy's class dimensions, while questioning whether Hall's final sermon text—"God is our refuge and our strength"—foreshadowed his fate. Contents include confessions ("Why I Am a Spendthrift" and "Why I Shall 'Fall' No More"), adventure stories by John R. Coryell and William F. McMorrow, and features like T. Howard Kelly's "Find a New Yorker in New York!" and a pictorial on Broadway's prettiest lips. Coming attractions preview "The Villains of the Village," about a wealthy man finding life and love in Greenwich Village.
