Once they got past the smell, the contents of the manor and Chicken House inundated the investigators anew. The whips, the chains, the handcuffs, the Satanic art, the black candles everywhere, the pornography, the endless graphically sexual letters from prisoners and other men—all unnerved them. When they discovered the skulls scattered around the house, their original thoughts were that these were yet more remains of murder victims, perhaps murdered by the latest victims. Some of the skulls were replicas, but two—one found by the desk and a more worn one on the clock—were actual human skulls. These skulls were identified as having come from Loyola, as according to Bobby Gilliland, they had characteristics of skulls that came from the same region from which Loyola got its anatomical skulls. Bobby actually had an encounter of the entirely too-close kind with one of the skulls. In those days, not only was smoking allowed in public buildings, but it was not uncommon to see investigators smoking during the examination of the crime scene itself, and this stupefying scene was certainly no exception. Bobby was smoking as he examined the professor’s library and stretched his hand out to tip his ashes into what he thought was an ashtray on Scudder’s desk when one of the other officers yelled, “What are you doing??” The item he had almost desecrated with his cigarette was actually one of the human skulls! (These skulls were not as unique a souvenir as one might think. One of the family members suing for “desecration of a corpse” in the crematory case displayed a relative’s skull on a bookshelf.)
