Told often, checked in the ledger: the dispelled claims, failed in print, one by one

the closing ledger — each claim with the document that fails or bounds it

The ledger closes the leg, claim by claim: (1) "Dillinger robbed a bank in New Carlisle." He did — in New Carlisle, Ohio. The robbery of June 1933 (21 June in the gang's robbery roster) took $10,000 from the New Carlisle National Bank at Main and Jefferson in Clark County, Ohio; the U.S. Census Bureau's own Dillinger history and the FBI-derived rosters place it there, and this build's crime file dispels the Indiana reading whole. Indiana's Dillinger bank was South Bend's Merchants National, 30 June 1934 — a different town's fact. (2) "The South Shore came through in 1852." Printed on the town's own About page; failed by the railroad record — the 1851 steam road came; the South Shore is 1908. (3) "The town had a racetrack." One newspaper's line — the South Bend Tribune of 28 June 2026, "has had a racetrack, a hotel, an opera house" — unseconded by any second record reached: the hotel and the opera house carry their documents elsewhere in this build; the racetrack carries only that line, and prints as unproven at one-paper strength. (4) "The Gazette is the town's paper." Not as of 2026: the Gazette is not publishing, and the town's last home paper, the News, ended in 2015 — the one-paper town currently has no paper of its own, told whole in the Newspapers leg. (5) "hometowndays.org is the festival's site." It was; read first-hand in November 2026 it serves gambling spam, a hijacked domain trading on the festival's name, while the festival itself publishes at hometowndays.net and has announced its 2027 dates (23–25 July 2027) there. Five claims told often; five documents against or bounding them. That is the whole method of this section, and it is why the strange items that survive it can be believed.
