Tuesday, January 22, 1924. Um. . . who?


Reporting on the death of Lenin, sort of.

An autopsy was performed on the body of the Communist leader which found he had suffered, it claimed a cerebral hemorrhage, although that has been disputed since that time.  Lenin's brain was removed on January 24 and sent to the Brain Research Institute in Moscow under the direction of a German neurologist, Dr. Oskar Vogt.


British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin resigned following a vote of no confidence.  Ramsay MacDonald was summoned by the King to form a government and to become the first Labour Party Prime Minister.
