Though Olga, the oldest, was very friendly and loved being around children, in captivity, she would seek poor children out, spending every second she could talking to them and hugging and mothering them; second daughter, Tatiana, was the most like her shy mother, Alexandra. Intellectual and always acting like a Grand Duchess, she was always in command and never relaxed in public. Once her sisters teased her in private by calling her by her title the Grand Duchess Tatiana, she blew up and immediately put a stop to it. She kicked her sister under the table and exclaimed “Are you crazy to speak to me like that?” Her family nickname was "The Governess." When the other kids wanted something they would send Tatiana to ask their parents, who could hardly ever say no to her. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Nicholas was concerned that his daughter Maria was too gentle, sweet and perfect. He was actually glad to know the rare occasions when she got in trouble and once remarked, “I was always afraid of the wings growing. I am glad to see she is only a human child.” Her sisters felt it was their job to keep her grounded, giving her a nickname which tested her good nature. They often called her their “fat little bow-wow” because the plump little girl was so eager to please. The teasing would stop once mom or dad heard about it and told them to cut it out. But they never teased her so much as to hurt her feelings, just to keep her feet on the ground. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">When Prince Philip's Uncle, Louis Mountbatten, visited Russia in 1913, he fell madly in love with Maria. He told family members he wanted to marry her after WWI. When he learned of her murder by the Bolsheviks, he would keep this photo of her in his bedroom the rest of his life. Queen Elizabeth's husband Prince Philip attended his sister's funeral in Hesse during Hitler's Third Reich. Hesse was the home of Alexandra's family.</div></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkCEkcsiTcwv_WMlz_uzjvyH3n9wFrcXW7blO142MR28Xb6It9NXPYSY2QaKEsIQqhYthm-RXhRGlF_3BoRgTkQV31y7ezM02CSlMMfwdeEcOUb_MXjVfHACNLepMo5Vu6rFkJpphx9Cul/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1146" data-original-width="1908" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkCEkcsiTcwv_WMlz_uzjvyH3n9wFrcXW7blO142MR28Xb6It9NXPYSY2QaKEsIQqhYthm-RXhRGlF_3BoRgTkQV31y7ezM02CSlMMfwdeEcOUb_MXjVfHACNLepMo5Vu6rFkJpphx9Cul/w400-h240/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Anastasia was always goofing off, telling jokes and trying to make everyone laugh, ve<span style="font-family: inherit;">ry often succeeding. </span><span style="text-align: center;">A tomboy and Daddy's girl, she wasn't as good a student as her older sisters, even resorting to an attempted bribe to get a better grade from her teacher.

They never complained and almost every day came home covered in blood from their long hours in surgery, changing dressings or emptying bedpans. Too young at the start of the war, Maria and Anastasia would write letters for them, bring food and refreshments for the wounded soldiers to eat. By 1916, they all worked 10 to 12 hours in the wards every day. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMHOJj6c-jo1_Jc8-Xq7ygnChH4_XiroQxKE2ceG0c61y8ujYkvrHeQ6-0jZvnoW_qW7Xb00loH7l77ZASJy2KaGj5C-4teJhy5sAUYjkq4-OXkdOb_pd4tMzjnp-Lfu3ERJOO6tt9M4-2/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="320" data-original-width="560" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMHOJj6c-jo1_Jc8-Xq7ygnChH4_XiroQxKE2ceG0c61y8ujYkvrHeQ6-0jZvnoW_qW7Xb00loH7l77ZASJy2KaGj5C-4teJhy5sAUYjkq4-OXkdOb_pd4tMzjnp-Lfu3ERJOO6tt9M4-2/w400-h229/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghnoRv2cOuTTyAaf_OlSZ4GXhVSf_nGmpbZvvWUKN5UgZylbrQuuuxw8xDJasQXz9Uj1PnxOeyikUJ-8mIYuahnVYUR4wOltyNPHBtDsh_1fCUAObHHMc9NiuU7kVWhTbj3gOAXIYP4ffu/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="238" data-original-width="400" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghnoRv2cOuTTyAaf_OlSZ4GXhVSf_nGmpbZvvWUKN5UgZylbrQuuuxw8xDJasQXz9Uj1PnxOeyikUJ-8mIYuahnVYUR4wOltyNPHBtDsh_1fCUAObHHMc9NiuU7kVWhTbj3gOAXIYP4ffu/w400-h238/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgsPhyo6TGt_yBLQKJlX-k6hmENZxsegdUck0HoQPZYC9CmQPdjkhYod3TpV4MnnmCMCpOld1eb4QvbHJPKha3kfxCB_p-96WWplCZoWhof46RuHX9gezEMAuyXC0CyWkqoUTjiL9FFcya/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="427" data-original-width="300" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgsPhyo6TGt_yBLQKJlX-k6hmENZxsegdUck0HoQPZYC9CmQPdjkhYod3TpV4MnnmCMCpOld1eb4QvbHJPKha3kfxCB_p-96WWplCZoWhof46RuHX9gezEMAuyXC0CyWkqoUTjiL9FFcya/w282-h400/image.png" width="282" /></a></div><br />The Czarina and her daughters.

Michael Smith, the author of Six: A History of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (2010) has argued: "The key link between the British secret service bureau in Petrograd and the Russians plotting Rasputin's demise was Rayner through his relationship with Prince Yusupov, the leader of the Russian plotters." <a href="https://spartacus-educational.com/SSrayner.htm">https://spartacus-educational.com/SSrayner.htm</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The British Secret Service operated out of the American Owned Hotel Astoria, which had been completed in 1912 and was also the place Yusupov and Rasputin brought many of their lovers. Yusupov brought boys and girls, while Rasputin loved romancing the elite women of the nobility and rich. Rasputin knew Rayner and probably met other British Spies at the hotel in the course of his socializing, all of whom were plotting his murder since early in the war. After Rasputin's Assassination and the end of WWI, Rayner would return to Russia as part of a British Trade Mission lasting through the early 1920's. He was probably a full time British MI6 spy at that point.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFzeyGd0QLHbBqReAqhsvKzNcJi3QRTlaUXNHDvGQ1rB7jtWZHkH4dbhFCdja4Doj-a1TKUcBI4l2eg3O6RXRldTJBdyZb9s8NVY4i8RT6WJHdHawNiYVS9QT3ScCOhQJlYcTabFqe-PI6/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFzeyGd0QLHbBqReAqhsvKzNcJi3QRTlaUXNHDvGQ1rB7jtWZHkH4dbhFCdja4Doj-a1TKUcBI4l2eg3O6RXRldTJBdyZb9s8NVY4i8RT6WJHdHawNiYVS9QT3ScCOhQJlYcTabFqe-PI6/w400-h266/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">By the time of Lenin's Communist October 1917 Revolution, 2,254,369 Russian soldiers had been killed in action.

Hapsburg Archduke Franz Ferdinand was a liberal and favored reform and some sort of devolution, which would have given Bosnians and Serbs a degree of self-government within the Empire, a first step towards their longtime goal. Serbian Military Intelligence chief Dragutin Dimitrijević, codename "Apis," wanted power for himself and he wanted it now, he planned the massacre of the Serbian Royal Family in 1903 and hired Princip to kill the Austrian Royal Family in 1914 to reach that goal.

I understand its action must be judged as trending to get full guarantee that the Serbian promises shall become real facts. This my reasoning is borne out by the statement of the Austrian cabinet that Austria does not want to make any territorial conquests at the expense of Serbia. I therefore suggest that it would be quite possible for Russia to remain a spectator of the Austro-Serbian conflict without involving Europe in the most horrible war she ever witnessed. I think a direct understanding between your Government and Vienna possible and desirable, and as I already telegraphed to you, my Government is continuing its exercises to promote it.

The stumbling block is Serbia, which was known to be behind the assassination, long before the proof would turn up. Serbia had a reputation of breaking agreements. If you remember Serbia in 1990's when they practiced "ethnic cleansing"/GENOCIDE, they have a reputation as among the world's great malefactors.

Which makes Gavrilo Princip as great a mass murder as Adolf Hitler, Joe Stalin, Pol Pot and every bit as evil.

Both men warned against any wars while the Russian economy grew even faster than the US in the late 1890's and early 1900's. Growing pains would make Russia vulnerable to unrest if any military situation or war arose. But then you had Grand Duke Sergei giving exactly the opposite advice, supporting war with Japan after they provoked a fight, even after other countries offered to intervene in the name of negotiations and peace after Japan's surprise attack on Port Arthur, Russia's only warm water port. </div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSdk4oEzo_idNHzmKpbI4KNWe4i1wu3m5nXqRe-6OLO980E0R011B1UMShCNZ4kAfhNO0dkmPQyFsNwesfa9aUMEZ-DSoKhUnDlQTm5a1agZAhTqYk0NRQAkseSI-eGPWLgXpkLk6wzqi3/" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="623" data-original-width="934" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSdk4oEzo_idNHzmKpbI4KNWe4i1wu3m5nXqRe-6OLO980E0R011B1UMShCNZ4kAfhNO0dkmPQyFsNwesfa9aUMEZ-DSoKhUnDlQTm5a1agZAhTqYk0NRQAkseSI-eGPWLgXpkLk6wzqi3/w400-h266/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;">Czar Nicholas II of Russia's telegram to Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany July 29, 1914, 1 AM : <span style="font-family: inherit;">I foresee that very soon I shall be overwhelmed by the pressure forced upon me and be forced to take extreme measures which will lead to war.

She felt workers had no rights and as an entitled petulant child, she was going to make sure it never happened again. </span></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXz1tGc50AyiZMcUMj-sDx6QIhPjRtg545MnNct9xIAUZnAhah9TG_Gg2IjyXypms0_NgTeAFl5KQo7gpV95oVsDyYnUDAupH39PM0spGaWh4tT7FbmEwEt4xSWSKwKM6RLvBtf3aBOzDk/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="673" data-original-width="962" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXz1tGc50AyiZMcUMj-sDx6QIhPjRtg545MnNct9xIAUZnAhah9TG_Gg2IjyXypms0_NgTeAFl5KQo7gpV95oVsDyYnUDAupH39PM0spGaWh4tT7FbmEwEt4xSWSKwKM6RLvBtf3aBOzDk/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzAhOZF_FAXKYBATBcTEGka5OTS7QpOqGMFozya9_KkuoNnBloSWzHh2KoW1Lhzeivs8vpeg9AYsLjzNGRUqNxZEv9uCYIitiTNUFP_BKE-kkbNvVhrcHrTU-xIDP8dxiIUuYNm8_quXO-/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="400" data-original-width="278" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzAhOZF_FAXKYBATBcTEGka5OTS7QpOqGMFozya9_KkuoNnBloSWzHh2KoW1Lhzeivs8vpeg9AYsLjzNGRUqNxZEv9uCYIitiTNUFP_BKE-kkbNvVhrcHrTU-xIDP8dxiIUuYNm8_quXO-/w278-h400/image.png" width="278" /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzAhOZF_FAXKYBATBcTEGka5OTS7QpOqGMFozya9_KkuoNnBloSWzHh2KoW1Lhzeivs8vpeg9AYsLjzNGRUqNxZEv9uCYIitiTNUFP_BKE-kkbNvVhrcHrTU-xIDP8dxiIUuYNm8_quXO-/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0RG_djUVWgRoViil8pvjJxmMN7infos9wLQfGF3CgeCS9aF0CvvdIro6rqCKcUpI0AK4wLykowEvCO9BqAUYCvn0zsKaDpywRMt9jv4qp9z3Uby5rY_Mw__RbKj0hciwHmZ0ER8P7lnZE/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1026" data-original-width="2000" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0RG_djUVWgRoViil8pvjJxmMN7infos9wLQfGF3CgeCS9aF0CvvdIro6rqCKcUpI0AK4wLykowEvCO9BqAUYCvn0zsKaDpywRMt9jv4qp9z3Uby5rY_Mw__RbKj0hciwHmZ0ER8P7lnZE/w320-h164/image.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For those who have forgotten who Ayn Rand and the Russian Right-Wing were and why they opposed Nicholas II and what they really believed:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>In a Speech to West Point Cadets, Ayn Rand made this speech as reported by Salon Magazine. </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In a logical sleight of hand that would even confound and bewilder even Lewis Carroll, Ayn Rand proclaimed in the 1974 Q&A that it was in fact indigenous Americans who were the racists, not the white settlers who were ethnically cleansing them. The laissez-faire leader declared that Native Americans did not "have any right to live in a country merely because they were born here and acted and lived like savages."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">"Americans didn't conquer" this land, Rand asserted, and "you are a racist if you object to that." Since "the Indians did not have any property rights -- they didn't have the concept of property," she said, "they didn't have any rights to the land."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If "a country does not protect rights," Rand asked -- referring specifically to property rights -- "why should you respect the rights they do not have?" She took the thought to its logical conclusion, contending that anyone "has the right to invade it, because rights are not recognized in this country."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Rand then blamed Native Americans for breaking the agreements they made with the Euro-American colonialists. The historical reality, though, was exactly the contrary: white settlers constantly broke the treaties they made with the indigenous, and regularly attacked them.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">"Let's suppose they were all beautifully innocent savages, which they certainly were not," Rand persisted. "What was it that they were fighting for, if they opposed white men on this continent? For their wish to continue a primitive existence, their right to keep part of the earth untouched, unused, and not even as property, but just keep everybody out so that you will live practically like an animal?" she asked.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">"Any white person who brings the elements of civilization had the right to take over this continent," Rand said, "and it is great that some people did, and discovered here what they couldn't do anywhere else in the world and what the Indians, if there are any racist Indians today, do not believe to this day: respect for individual rights." <a href="https://www.salon.com/2015/10/14/libertarian_superstar_ayn_rand_defended_genocide_of_savage_native_americans/">https://www.salon.com/2015/10/14/libertarian_superstar_ayn_rand_defended_genocide_of_savage_native_americans/</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In fact, Lenin and the leftists saw Stolypin's economic policies as the greatest threat to their movement, because his policies were working. Witte was sent to the US to negotiating a peace agreement with Japan, moderated by Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. Russia came out much, much better than anyone expected.

Stolypin was murdered by leftists at the Kiev Ukraine Opera House with the Czar and his daughters Olga and Tatiana in attendance on September 18, 1911. Stolypin was shot twice, once in the arm and once in the chest, by Dmitry Bogrov, a Jewish leftist revolutionary. Bogrov ran to one of the entrances and was caught. <b>Wikipedia</b></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSUJgEdAPtr_72GGpIenQj2z3bMz6QeW-0ocws12lA4nPJbq6P7Be-FO2pcwY3xLrGogqC6-2H8XKaBZmAtcoueTNI69k9vM2eWAxU1vLylepdnAL3RYactoSRtXKdM01Jqu3ycg2L8nXE/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="385" data-original-width="220" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSUJgEdAPtr_72GGpIenQj2z3bMz6QeW-0ocws12lA4nPJbq6P7Be-FO2pcwY3xLrGogqC6-2H8XKaBZmAtcoueTNI69k9vM2eWAxU1vLylepdnAL3RYactoSRtXKdM01Jqu3ycg2L8nXE/w228-h400/image.png" width="228" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxEloH7mkZT7LRX-x8Ray8OxyUVyCIN6UpuKl4VvQxiGpm3rjryaIiPJq5-JlUMghtfbvMql4xUrKs3lvt6C6QA4h8f3KOgPF_Gks8xbltqKwelHYxsDj-MXtmv-QEcZImgOvQKpbNx9Ja/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxEloH7mkZT7LRX-x8Ray8OxyUVyCIN6UpuKl4VvQxiGpm3rjryaIiPJq5-JlUMghtfbvMql4xUrKs3lvt6C6QA4h8f3KOgPF_Gks8xbltqKwelHYxsDj-MXtmv-QEcZImgOvQKpbNx9Ja/w400-h268/image.png" width="400" /></a></div></div><br /></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: center;"><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Stolypin rose from his chair, removed his gloves and unbuttoned his jacket, exposing a blood-soaked waistcoat. Stolypin made a gesture to tell the Tsar to go back. He never lost consciousness, but his condition deteriorated. He died four days later. Stolypin's policies favored improving the life of peasants and rural farmers, who made up 2/3's of the Russian population, support for the church and the middle class. His plan was working, even labor leaders were beginning to waiver, as the lives of Russians improved dramatically. Lenin's Bolsheviks and leftist radicals saw him as their greatest threat. Stolypin had to be elminated quickly.

Saturday. Until now, everything was going, thank God, like clockwork, but today there was a great mishap. The crowd staying overnight at Khodynka, awaiting the start of the distribution of lunch and mugs pushed against buildings and there was a terrible crush, and awful to say trampled around 1300 people!! I found out about it at 10+1⁄2 hours before the report by [minister of war] Vannovski; a disgusting impression was left by this news. At 12+1⁄2 we had lunch and then Czarina Alix, Alexandra, and I went to Khodynka to be present at this sad "national holiday." Actually there was nothing going on: we looked from the pavilion at the huge crowd that surrounded the stage from which the orchestra played all the time the anthem and "Glory." Went to Petrovsky Palace, where at the gate I received several delegations and then entered the yard. Here dinner was served under four tents for all township heads. I had to make a speech, and then another for the assembled marshals of the nobility. After going around the table, we left for the Kremlin. Dinner at Mama's at 8. Went to the ball at French Ambassador Montebello's. It was very nicely arranged, but the heat was unbearable. After dinner, left at 2 PM.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">— From the diary of Emperor Nicholas</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the crush to receive the gifts celebrating the new czar, 1282 Russians were crushed and killed, another 20,000 injured. Nicholas II's advisors, most from his dad's cabinet, especially, Grand Duke Sergei, argued with the Czar that he should go to a ambassadorial ball, instead of implementing a period of mourning. A huge mistake. The Czar's enemies used it to smear the new Czar and Czarina. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These same carry over cabinet members would push Russia into war against Japan. Japan was provoking several powers in the East as they sought to expand their empire. Russian Prime Ministers Witte and Stolypin argued against war, Russia had invested huge amounts in agriculture and industrial expansion, not the military, The Russian Navy included wooden ships, while the Japanese Navy was 100% all modern, steel navy. A massive Japanese surprise invasion, without provocation or declaration of war, attacked Russian Port Arthur on January 8/9th 1904 and quickly achieved victory. Exactly as happened on December 7, 1941, when the Japanese did not declare war before bombing Pearl Harbor, a war crime under the Geneva and Hague Conventions, which Nicholas II helped write and sponsored. On May 27/28th 1905 the Japanese modern fleet destroyed the Russian fleet at Tsushima.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioV_gesRh-TcF-mLgxk5sL4xNC6B-c-Jctx7F4gkhbgANi0h14AEGHHp9G4H5YJUghtDsy8H7vmVX9_q0LttUIRZUZtaRPvbsMR3L0CF3WAcH9nsq3XOjzpeEU6myzRbzf9SkTIaqXC3Ff/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="731" data-original-width="1450" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioV_gesRh-TcF-mLgxk5sL4xNC6B-c-Jctx7F4gkhbgANi0h14AEGHHp9G4H5YJUghtDsy8H7vmVX9_q0LttUIRZUZtaRPvbsMR3L0CF3WAcH9nsq3XOjzpeEU6myzRbzf9SkTIaqXC3Ff/w400-h201/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkdIUqfiwNa8n1KnznYgqVkjVnNKfebYomOslS4C1VDMLIVYrzFiWkIYE6YBeKOH4RmLDUbgoj244-ivQLfmxN5xAciyaZaqlfPp1XPotHlDRWUh4KCI6cdePk6w5gBtwF_MECeK02kKwA/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="432" data-original-width="768" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkdIUqfiwNa8n1KnznYgqVkjVnNKfebYomOslS4C1VDMLIVYrzFiWkIYE6YBeKOH4RmLDUbgoj244-ivQLfmxN5xAciyaZaqlfPp1XPotHlDRWUh4KCI6cdePk6w5gBtwF_MECeK02kKwA/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />This led to the 1905 Revolution which forced the Czar to accept a legislative body, the Duma, and limits to imperial power. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyfCVhMA3KBK-SlGHhtDOOmN9tSYz_NmQ9G_bv8xW7Z3mJ9XTo6EvcQG-yP8XFJEkXowxQsI9zJ2hD9YOwzlOBf03xlOpF6aw9COPgIMRHPpzvUDvgIBJ7jth8IK-ulHiWzWJpdgnvwHAM/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1456" data-original-width="2048" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyfCVhMA3KBK-SlGHhtDOOmN9tSYz_NmQ9G_bv8xW7Z3mJ9XTo6EvcQG-yP8XFJEkXowxQsI9zJ2hD9YOwzlOBf03xlOpF6aw9COPgIMRHPpzvUDvgIBJ7jth8IK-ulHiWzWJpdgnvwHAM/w400-h285/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There is a debate whether Orthodox Father Gapon was an Okhrana Spy.

While PM Witte and future PM Stolypin lobbied against it. Another disaster, as head of St. Petersburg security, the Czar was out of town, Sergei ordered the Cossacks to attack the peaceful protesters. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrOEmHMNNyj-c-Kv7XKtTqE-pu98VdJfXmd4YQhE7QGIbQozI7WMom_nvRR30UL0SCgE80HQwyqhVRuiMoho33B992f_MmhBN6sJ0vwnV0mOI83CPDT2XPKCZfvWRyUUJ7HS7qYB0YKBs1/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="500" data-original-width="340" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrOEmHMNNyj-c-Kv7XKtTqE-pu98VdJfXmd4YQhE7QGIbQozI7WMom_nvRR30UL0SCgE80HQwyqhVRuiMoho33B992f_MmhBN6sJ0vwnV0mOI83CPDT2XPKCZfvWRyUUJ7HS7qYB0YKBs1/w272-h400/image.png" width="272" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Nazis during WWII destroyed Russian cities and towns, palaces and churches, then rapaciously robbed the Catherine</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and Alexander Palaces at Tsarskoe Selo.

The Monk Rasputin was becoming well known among the nobility and elites in St. Petersburg, the Russian Capital, as a healer and mystic. As her son Alexei suffered health crisis after crisis, Alexandra invited Rasputin to the Alexander Palace to heal her son after his latest attack. Alexei recovered and Alexandra was convinced he was a miracle worker. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Now, for the weird part of the story. For centuries, Native Americans, Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Celts and Romans would treat headaches by chewing willow bark/leaves which brought almost immediate relief. At the turn of 19th century. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">aspirin, salicylic acid, was discovered as the component of willow bark/leaves which provided pain relief. Aspirin became a miracle drug, The synthetic version of salicylic acid was discovered in the late 1890's by a Bayer Pharmaceutical scientist, Felix Hoffmann. He called his discovery acetylsalicylic acid, which is derived from the synthetic chemical a(cetyl) and the spirea plant, from which it is derived. Bayer patented the name aspirin. Hoffmann experimented with aspirin by testing it on family members, especially to alleviate his father's painful rheumatism. Beginning in 1899, Bayer distributed a powdered aspirin to physicians for patients who experienced pain from arthritis, headaches and injuries.

Platelets cause blood clots and scabbing, which would normally stop bleeding. To a boy with hemophilia, who has an excessive bleeding problem, large doses aspirin would make his bleeding problem many times worse and could kill him at any point.

Since skulls are enclosed to protect our brains, this very often almost immediately causes a coma and/or death. President Franklin "FDR" Roosevelt had high blood pressure during his 12 years as President from 1933 to 1945. After helping us overcome the Great Depression and win over Adolf Hitler and Germany and the Japanese, FDR had a cerebral hemorrhage on April 12, 1945 in Warm Springs, Georgia, dying within hours. It would have been normal to give FDR aspirin when he first complained of a headache. Within a month, on May 8th Germany surrendered to the allies and within four months so would the Empire of Japan. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoa99ABa8GJt_KzwqjO8Doffmgd0Sze0uHHKw_SG4lLzbmKF9a1xn2hPxcNK7D27br4B4VEfNXr9QU0Yg7E3bEJerpx-kiBodrZj0QMtyF8rADOGhka-0zANu64pP_FoEUNOo1dmeDH93g/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="641" data-original-width="1140" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoa99ABa8GJt_KzwqjO8Doffmgd0Sze0uHHKw_SG4lLzbmKF9a1xn2hPxcNK7D27br4B4VEfNXr9QU0Yg7E3bEJerpx-kiBodrZj0QMtyF8rADOGhka-0zANu64pP_FoEUNOo1dmeDH93g/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOH2rD4ADlOqNdF_ch2n17rbIdacaT49RytAqJtHSKt-6wjMYVXJksf3Y05aDN0GDE_0JrKoas9OwynTkV7QBlgVHdLFa7Yne0TcJZUxSIchGijJlA7gEdgihwj3KptEBZxcb8_WflagH_/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="490" data-original-width="1056" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOH2rD4ADlOqNdF_ch2n17rbIdacaT49RytAqJtHSKt-6wjMYVXJksf3Y05aDN0GDE_0JrKoas9OwynTkV7QBlgVHdLFa7Yne0TcJZUxSIchGijJlA7gEdgihwj3KptEBZxcb8_WflagH_/w400-h185/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Doctors now recommend taking a small dose aspirin, 80 mg daily if you are over 50-years-old. 87% of all strokes are caused by blood clots which can lead to brain cell death, memory loss and paralysis, As exemplified by Alexei's suffering, aspirin prevents platelets from clotting, diminishing the chances of a stroke and paralysis.

German Intelligence Colonel Max Hoffmann convinced his commanding officers, Generals Hindenburg and Ludendorff, to attack Russian General Samsonov at Tannenberg along the Russian/German border. Though Russian General Rennenkampf's army was closer, much larger and more of a threat to the Kaiser's Army, Hoffmann accurately predicted, the petty, lazy, overly cautious Rennenkampf would delay coming to the aid of Samsonov, regardless of the peril. Samsonov and Rennenkampf's armies outnumbered the Germans and could have defeated them, but separately they were no match for the Germans. If the Germans mounted a lightning attack against Samsonov with overwhelming numbers, they could wipe out his army and then turn on Rennenkampf. So the German Army surrounded Sams<span style="font-family: inherit;">onov and his army, wiping them out. Just as Max Hoffmann predicted Rennenkampf never lifted a finger to help Samsonov until it was too late. General Samsonov committed suicide. Then the </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>Germans turned on Rennenkampf and defeated him at the Battle of Tannenberg. Over and over again, it would be Hoffman's brilliant's deductions, which led to German victories on the Eastern Front. Hindenburg and Ludendorff never gave any credit to their brilliant intelligence officer, prompting Hoffman to describe Hindenburg's contribution, after the war, while guiding military cadets on a tour </span>of the Tannenberg Battlefield: "See-this is where Hindenburg slept before the battle, and, between you and me, this is where Hindenburg slept during the battle." </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">General Ludendorff would employ Hitler in military intelligence after WWI. Hitler would infiltrate liberal groups, then testify against the members in military TREASON trials which always led to summary execution. The Bridge at Remagen which American Troops captured in the last months of the war was named the Ludendorff Railroad Bridge. Field Marshal Hindenburg would appoint Hitler Chancellor in January 1933.

They chose Russian PM Pyotr Stolypin. He and his predecessor PM Witte, both fought to keep Russia out of wars while guiding the booming Russian economy, which even exceeded the US during the late 1890's and early 1900's. The huge growth, caused labor unrest, shortages and political unrest. Stolypin and Witte were opposed by right-wingers, who proposed war was the best way to deal with the unrest. Japan was a growing military power in the Pacific. Japan and her government were testing Russia, England the US in the Pacific. Japan launched a surprise attack, without a declaration of war, just as they would against US when they bombed Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. Russia spent billions on economic development instead of military equipment, the Russian Navy still included wooden ships and steel ships with technology 20 years out of date, while Japan had bought a practically brand new navy. Russia's antiquated Pacific Fleet was destroyed at Tsushima on May 27, 1905, within weeks, the 1905 Russian Revolution followed, leading to the installment of a Duma, a Russian Legislature. </span><span>Former PM Witte died February 28 1915 and Rasputin was murdered in December 1916, they had almost succeeded in convincing Czar Nicholas II to seek peace talks, British MI6 would do anything to stop them, whatever the cost to Russia.</span><b> </b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-size: large;"><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-size: large;">Under Alexander Kerensky, the man who led the coup against the Czar, things only went from bad to worse.

Riots, protests and assassinations were occurring throughout Russia every day,. Soldiers were deserting by the 100,000's. Royalists and Conservatives realizing what a disaster Kerensky was, asked General Lvar Kornilov to overthrow Kerensky's government in a coup as a last resort in September 1917. It failed Lenin had arrived in St. Petersburg/Petrograd in April 1917, thanks to the German Kaiser. He had one message, PEACE now, at any price and bring the boys home.

At that point, but Germany's reservoir of troops was dwindling, even with the transfer of 1,000,000 German Eastern Front soldiers from Russia to France, they could not afford the 688,341 casualties. But the Allies could afford 863,374 casualties. French Marshal Foch could absorb the loss because of the arrival of 1,000,000 US Troops. Foch was smarter than the German command, he took the losses but maneuvered the Germans back to where they started before the spring offensive.

A war crime under the Geneva and Hague Conventions. By June 22, 1940 the war was over and all three countries surrendered. People don't realize that the French collapse in WWII is directly attributable to the 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 dead French young men killed in World War One, men who never married and never had children, 100,000's more French young men were crippled and disabled in World War One. On top of that, German soldiers were accused of many atrocities in both Belgium and France, including the massacre of innocent civilians, including killing, summary execution, of boys as young as 10-years-old as possible threats to their troops. The Germans were required to pay $50 Billion Gold Marks in reparations to France during the Versailles Peace Conference. That is roughly the equivalent of $768 Billion Dollars today in 2020. The amount was repeatedly downgraded because of the Communist threat and the Great Depression.

Skorokhodov was expelled from the Ipatiev house, and soon disappears from history. Aside from Skorokhodov, and his forbidden flirting with Maria, many of the guards seemed to have become friendly with the Romanov family, to their detriment later.

The Bolsheviks constructed a wooden palisade to isolate the family and forbid locals from providing food for the family. They would repeat the strategy when they moved the family to Ekaterinburg, adding insults, pornographic graffiti and demeaning and cold relations with the family. In April 1918, the Nicholas II, Alexandra and Tatiana were moved to Yekatinburg from Tobolsk, but Alexei's health was too fragile, so he couldn't be moved. Yurovsky and the Bolsheviks ordered the Czar and Czarina to pack, the children decided Tatiana would go with mom and dad, while Olga, Maria and Anastasia would stay behind with Alexei until he was able to undertake the trip. By late May, they would make the journey to join their parents. One of those odd footnotes, to prevent intervention or ambush, the trains flew a foreign flag. Considering the Russo-Japanese War, it is astounding that the Bolsheviks chose the Japanese Rising Sun flag.

They knew why they were there and they intended to take sadistic joy from it. There is an un-confirmed report that when the children, Alexei, Olga and Maria were sent aboard the Steamer Rus to </span>Yekaterinburg to join their parents<span style="font-family: inherit;">, Bolshevik guards may have attempted to rape Maria and Olga. While the 6'5" Navy Sailor Klementi Nagorny was assigned to guard and help Alexei, when he heard the screams from Olga and Maria, he raced to their aid, for which he was severely beaten. We will never know why the girls screamed. Nagorny was murdered by the Bolsheviks at Ipatiev House in May, a couple of months before the July 16th family massacre. Apparently, one of the Bolshevik guards had stolen Alexei's crucifix and Nagorny caught him. Nagorny was executed for laying hands on the Bolshevik thief. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_cgliLPWArEtFtz1OxNoEftTWma6moZYhfp0uEOM81J99WhsrlRv8D_fhoAufzCprYJtk84mc-7DrBaC9Nyk5DYg8OoQXX9vwothFXJZMIRlVWPPlJCB5ICYBcIW4pLbz1_P1eyWSAGsf/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="197" data-original-width="240" height="329" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_cgliLPWArEtFtz1OxNoEftTWma6moZYhfp0uEOM81J99WhsrlRv8D_fhoAufzCprYJtk84mc-7DrBaC9Nyk5DYg8OoQXX9vwothFXJZMIRlVWPPlJCB5ICYBcIW4pLbz1_P1eyWSAGsf/w400-h329/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Nagorny to the left, Alexei in front center, Makarov & Agaev are the two boys with him.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-p7KafqQTvpwv7U2UbQ_EtHJzC4eRTk96nQ9cVEIXqu13FlxLT8oaO5IGHowCMZ8hY9FT35ztiRUTdFXV5a7zTwrEB6ppkPS_9ukqzCanrB93lTeetkBOl5oklX3-kHC_ICwdeAuGo-UN/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="360" data-original-width="480" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-p7KafqQTvpwv7U2UbQ_EtHJzC4eRTk96nQ9cVEIXqu13FlxLT8oaO5IGHowCMZ8hY9FT35ztiRUTdFXV5a7zTwrEB6ppkPS_9ukqzCanrB93lTeetkBOl5oklX3-kHC_ICwdeAuGo-UN/w400-h300/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZOJZtKQSnxUWg2J167AD3UYZrntDX7vjxJgY41SrQyrHv7OQHe8tvO_DlA8eLXCXEzUZo0vhHrQfrwGvtOlbOdfjLgjjp0dESvy-u0mZ_V3VhL9THkh3VjbYvoIQzYR7i0_S-b7ZzWnh_/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="218" data-original-width="232" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZOJZtKQSnxUWg2J167AD3UYZrntDX7vjxJgY41SrQyrHv7OQHe8tvO_DlA8eLXCXEzUZo0vhHrQfrwGvtOlbOdfjLgjjp0dESvy-u0mZ_V3VhL9THkh3VjbYvoIQzYR7i0_S-b7ZzWnh_/w400-h376/image.png" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOShX8YPAknt_JOz-KulvllYJBdDYAo0N8H4W-nSPreXQWPVpTREk2ZzTS6DaOCBxXarClg_ywDZDUjyX6bZ2RlGiYIGoJW2aYDeVP74L_YC_HCMbW3wKQHb1BfQ1DI8uPaJ7AJ2txwXn/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="566" data-original-width="800" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOShX8YPAknt_JOz-KulvllYJBdDYAo0N8H4W-nSPreXQWPVpTREk2ZzTS6DaOCBxXarClg_ywDZDUjyX6bZ2RlGiYIGoJW2aYDeVP74L_YC_HCMbW3wKQHb1BfQ1DI8uPaJ7AJ2txwXn/" width="320" /></a></div><br />The Czar of all the Russias, Sednev the young kitchen boy helper and the ever loyal sailor Klementy Nagorny</div></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the few survivors was Leonid Sednev, a teenage kitchen servant who followed the family to Yekaterinburg and had become friends with Alexei. Though poor and a much later addition to the household, he was well liked by the family and a good kid. We now know the Bolsheviks debated who to kill and who not to kill. The tutors Gilliard and Gibbes, foreigners, were allowed their freedom in Tobolsk, the Bolsheviks then argued over the teen but finally decided Sednev was poor and an innocent, so they let him go, the last to see Freedom from the Romanov household. Leonid was the nephew of Ivan Sednev, the Grand Duchesses Footman. The Bolsheviks let young teenager Leonid go after murdering his uncle and Nagorny. Leonid is to the left, Tatiana is to the right. One report has him under suspicion by local Stalinist Secret Police, Cheka. Leonid was reportedly killed in WWII fighting the Nazis. Wikipedia has the following Report. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwig-C9eZew6peCpyBUtkNFs0v-99VKNs4LiYPYk556lyEbZ280ss-C5LA2eBJqzHSHftiuzA9Nu3Fw5yPvg7Trk2ashUHpJcwwXLyTP9o_uFHw2CHCgdGSEhXtIgFbuCGMNps-zyoMjXE/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="596" data-original-width="800" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwig-C9eZew6peCpyBUtkNFs0v-99VKNs4LiYPYk556lyEbZ280ss-C5LA2eBJqzHSHftiuzA9Nu3Fw5yPvg7Trk2ashUHpJcwwXLyTP9o_uFHw2CHCgdGSEhXtIgFbuCGMNps-zyoMjXE/w400-h297/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Empress Alexandra's last entry in her diary, July 16, 1918, the day before the massacre:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Every morning the commandant comes to our rooms: at last, after a week without, brought eggs again for Alexei, who is doing better but is still in pain. ate supper.

There are conflicting accounts of his ultimate fate; according to one report, he was shot in 1929 in Yaroslavl on charges of participating in a counter-revolutionary conspiracy, or he was either killed during the Battle of Moscow in 1941; according to the obd-memorial.ru (CAMO) he was executed on the verdict of the tribunal of the Bryansk Front for an unspecified crime on 17 July 1942, exactly 24 years to the day the Romanovs were executed. <b>Wikipedia</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYh6qhTCUlbr3moXJHRBY5u-VQ8BbfCDsytkEcbpE_Z5oX8_AKSIjPa2IoRcqZgBTwXH6qTTYWugnPpsjsZjgYvGMLUs4wQDT_JJRUeamDOWRQ0LyioC09sKgGoxbLrb1ttqp_OuSs_2NV/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="712" data-original-width="1087" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYh6qhTCUlbr3moXJHRBY5u-VQ8BbfCDsytkEcbpE_Z5oX8_AKSIjPa2IoRcqZgBTwXH6qTTYWugnPpsjsZjgYvGMLUs4wQDT_JJRUeamDOWRQ0LyioC09sKgGoxbLrb1ttqp_OuSs_2NV/w400-h263/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS3k6ZKvVz_RrUcL_d5BGG-SxYbVQ1Ln6RiEwCntubjvQ6qk4GMYOhuotTFpm5uAl4gA2PmXHTMnQjPoCKaW-OmnK244X1DC98Vk3zmBp_zx_pKuK4Kk0DwnNkU26GNltDu0YFKPMP3kNC/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="349" data-original-width="620" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS3k6ZKvVz_RrUcL_d5BGG-SxYbVQ1Ln6RiEwCntubjvQ6qk4GMYOhuotTFpm5uAl4gA2PmXHTMnQjPoCKaW-OmnK244X1DC98Vk3zmBp_zx_pKuK4Kk0DwnNkU26GNltDu0YFKPMP3kNC/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Lenin wanted a show trial for Nicholas II and Alexandra, followed by their execution.

A slow speaking cadence gave his deep bass voice an ominous, threatening character, which fit the historical Rasputin. But it is far more than that, Baker was able to convey a religious sincerity and a peasant's joy in hobnobbing with the richest and most powerful families in Russia. And yet his deep voice could also convey a Christian kindness and gentleness in dealing with Alexandra and Alexei. It must be one of the most incredibly brilliant and complicated portrayals in the history of movies and must have been closest to the real Rasputin as anyone has ever or ever will get. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-f-sXlmfHbV-IGMBiiRlRpww67GOrvlQecygZVLoQl3L16dUAudnlEHPgGGoFu_4g0kG85eK9shPxdxtvDJFKAgTz_q46pjWDRF4FTkDrhawYZgkRJn5_5GDAt47s7vrAOzZ9UI_gEunV/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="253" data-original-width="600" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-f-sXlmfHbV-IGMBiiRlRpww67GOrvlQecygZVLoQl3L16dUAudnlEHPgGGoFu_4g0kG85eK9shPxdxtvDJFKAgTz_q46pjWDRF4FTkDrhawYZgkRJn5_5GDAt47s7vrAOzZ9UI_gEunV/w400-h169/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold;">We learn of the Bolshevik efforts to justify the massacre of the Romanovs. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Beloborodov directed the smuggling of letters written in French to the imprisoned Romanovs at the Ipatiev House, claiming to be a monarchist officer seeking to rescue them, composed at the behest of the Cheka/Bolshevik Secret Police. These fabricated letters, along with the Romanov responses to them, written either on blank spaces or on the envelope, were ultimately used by the Ural Soviet, and likely the Central Executive Committee in Moscow, to justify murdering the Imperial Family amidst the rapid gains made by the White Army in the region. In July 1918, when Yekaterinburg appeared to be at risk of being captured by the Czechoslovak Legion, Beloborodov and the other members of the Ural Soviet ordered the immediate execution of the prisoners. Beloborodov and Georgy Safarov remained at the local Cheka headquarters at the Amerikanskaya Hotel while Goloshchyokin arrived at the Ipatiev House to personally direct the executions.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Following the killings, which took place during the early morning hours of 17 July, Beloborodov sent a coded telegram to Lenin's secretary, Nikolai Gorbunov. It was found by White investigator Nikolai Sokolov and reads:[2]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">"Inform Sverdlov the whole family have shared the same fate as the head.

Lenin said isn't that located next to a Junior High School with 1,000's of students. Any explosion would kill 100's of students. Stalin replied irrelevant collateral damage.

On May 22, 1922, Lenin had the first of three strokes which would eventually leave him paralyzed. On January 21, 1924, he had the final stroke which killed him. A state funeral was planned. Stalin as Party Secretary deliberately and brilliantly, gave Trotsky the wrong date for Lenin's funeral causing him to miss the most important event in the USSR's history up to that date. Everyone at the funeral angrily noted Trotsky's absence, this was the beginning of the end for Trotsky in Russia, Stalin's #1 Competitor/Opponent. In 1929, Trotsky was forced into exile, living the life of a refugee. On August 21, 1940, Stalin had KGB/Cheka Assassins murder Trotsky in Mexico where he then lived. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Trotsky may have been brilliant, but he wasn't nearly as duplicitous, deceitful and cunning as Stalin.

Soldiers at a US Military Base in Kansas USA came down with the "Spanish" Flu in 1917, sui generis. Soldiers from this base took the disease with them when they were shipped out to Italy, a US Ally in WWI. All Western and Eastern Ally and Axis Powers had press censorship. Spain was not a combatant in WWI and had a free press, so it was the only country to openly speak of the Pandemic, which killed 50,000,000 people world-wide, hence the pandemic became known, undeservedly, as the Spanish Flu.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNLkPurNrZYniFCaJbkoP-1bod2zv4qwiJ5XFCzlfqSEsnjrYSslHhZTORGTxnuzls5vJUQNZK-GiHEOhXZ7B4q5IidlwfaZPhdvHeNHD7Jic5RUBEQzI8ruHnawlG2Ym3WDCkLzK0lgE2/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="163" data-original-width="310" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNLkPurNrZYniFCaJbkoP-1bod2zv4qwiJ5XFCzlfqSEsnjrYSslHhZTORGTxnuzls5vJUQNZK-GiHEOhXZ7B4q5IidlwfaZPhdvHeNHD7Jic5RUBEQzI8ruHnawlG2Ym3WDCkLzK0lgE2/" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>A 1918 Georgia Tech Football Game, spectators were required to wear face masks to stop the spread of the 1918 Kansas Flu, also known as the "Spanish" Flu.

One of them said in a interview, quote: “I felt the empress myself and she was warm” another one said “Now I can die in peace because I have squeezed the empress’s breasts.” An order was given at some point that the bodies of the girls, Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia Romanov were not to be groped or raped. Though it is not recorded in the records released from the archives, the question arises, was this prompted by one or more than one of Felix Dzerzhinsky's Cheka Bolshevik Secret Police having raped or attempted to rape the dead children's bodies? We do know that the girls' bodies were violated in death. Sometimes revolutionaries are nothing more than sick perverts, it is sickening that Yurovsky or anyone else would be forced to issue an order like this. I will never stand by and allow any other interpretation of the events of July 1918 in Yekaterinburg as anything other than a <b>perverted</b> <b>crime against humanity</b>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Years later Felix Dzerzhinsky's successor Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria changed the name of the Cheka first to the NKVD and finally to the KGB. Beria was known to prowl in his chauffeur driven limousine looking for young girls, some as young as 13-years-old. The girls would be forced into his car and then raped at his dacha. He even did this during World War II. There is a story cited in Wikipedia that Dictator Joseph Stalin was looking for his daughter Svetlana and found out that she was at Beria's dacha. Stalin ordered his security detachment to IMMEDIATELY go and retrieve her. Though it turned out that the purpose of the visit was totally innocent, Stalin appears to have known the perverted truth about Beria.

All Yurovsky's descendants received higher education. Then tragedy came for them: One grandson was accidentally poisoned by deadly mushrooms. Another hung himself, another fell off a barn roof, another was killed in a car accident. Rimma and her husband were arrested during Stalin's purge and sent to the Gulag until released in 1946. In 1952, Yurovsky's son Alexander, a Rear Admiral in the Russian Navy, was arrested, following Stalin's death in 1953, he was released. Alexander died in 1986.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div>A photograph of the governing committee of the Ural Soviet which issued the order to Yacob Yurovsky to murder the Romanovs, after receiving Lenin's telegram giving his OK. Chairman Alexander Beloborodov, second from left commanded Yurovsky to make sure no one survived. He would later side with Trotsky in his fight with Stalin. Stalin never forgave him, nor did he forget. In 1938, Stalin had him executed during the great purge of 1937 to 1938, in which 950,000 to 1,250,000 Russians were killed. Historians later learned that this purge was inspired by German spies who convinced Stalin that Russian Generals and politicians were conspiring against him. Russia would pay for Stalin's paranoia in WWII when they had to rebuild their entire military command, after losing 800,000 soldiers killed and 6,000,000 wounded/captured during Hitler's Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of Russia.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>The Lenin government issued a statement a few days later saying, to protect the state, patriots had killed Bloody Nicholas. Only a year later did they vaguely suggest the family was dead too, but gave no details, implying that they had been victims of fighting between Czech soldiers approaching Yekaterinburg and Bolsheviks. </b></div><div><br /></div><div>There are different Yurovsky reports, a very detailed at the end of this page follows, but a briefer and concise version of the massacre is here: </div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><div>Yurovsky with the rest of his squad. He ordered all of the prisoners to stand. Placing himself in front of the Tsar, holding the execution declaration in his hand he declared, “In view of the fact that your relatives continue their offensive against Russia, the Ural Regional Soviet has decided to sentence you to death.” Nicholas stared back and stuttered in disbelief, “Lord, oh my God!” He hesitated for a moment and turned to look at his family then turned back to Yurovsky, “Oh, my God what is this, I can’t understand you, read it again.” Yurovsky attempted to read the order again, but the Tsar interrupted, “What, What?” Yurovsky crumpled up the order in his hand, drawing his pistol with the other, “This” he exclaimed while pulling the trigger. The round exited the barrel of the of the gun with a defining thunder clap, slamming into the Tsar chest which exploded in a crimson gush. Suddenly everyone in the squad starting firing their pistols rapidly into the body of the Tsar. Nicholas lurched forward slamming to the floor, a red puddle rapidly forming around his body. </div><div>No one followed the order to only shoot the victim they had been assigned to kill. The room quickly began to fill with smoke, making the other intended victims hard to discern. Yurovsky yelled for them men to aim at the other victims, but to no avail. The rapid poorly aimed shots began to ricochet and a few of the execution squad member were lightly injured. When the smoke began to clear the Empresses’ Doctor Botkin, the chef Kharitonov and the Tsar’s footman Alexei Trupp were badly wounded, but not dead. The first volley had sent bullets into Dr. Botkin’s lower extremities although wounded he had tried to throw his body in front of the Tsar, probably not realizing the he was already done for. Trupp had collapsed to his knees having been shot in the femur and thigh. One of the executioners who saw the Tsar’s former footman on his knees beneath the smoke ended his suffering with a few well placed rounds in his skull. </div><div>Another executioner fired several rounds in succession at the Imperial family’s former chef Kharitonov. The bullets hit him with such forces and Yurovsky would later say,”he sat down and died. With all the firing that had been directed toward the Tsar, the empress, Alexei, the daughters, and Anna Demidova the empresses’ maid were all very much alive. Ermakov on seeing this swung his Mauser pistol at the head of the Empress, upon seeing the barrel of the gun she attempted to cross herself, but only got half way though the act when Ermakov pulled the trigger. Her head literally exploded covering the crazed Ermakov in her blood and gore. The force of the bullet drove her violently back and her corpse crashed to the floor.</div><div>The Killing was far from done. When the shooting started the Tsar’s daughter’s stood frozen in place unable to comprehend what was happening to them. Maria, the daughter who only weeks earlier had shared her birthday cake with one of the guards broke from the group and hurled her little body against the set of locked double doors in the back of the room. She pounded against the door, rattled the knob and screamed for help. No help would come. Upon hearing the commotion Ermakov turned toward Marie. With his Mauser empty of bullets he reached into his belt for one of his other pistols and fired off a poorly aimed shot. The round hit her in the thigh and she collapsed on the blood stained floor, wounded but very much alive. He then turned to the empresses’ maid Anna Demidova still frozen in fear and fired several rounds. The bullets caught her in the upper thigh shattering the bone sending her crashing to the floor, no doubt in excruciating pain but alive. At this point the room was filled with toxic acrid smoke. The executioners could see almost nothing and were choking on the fumes and plaster dust. Realizing the shooting was haphazard at best, and fearing for the safety of his men, Yurovsky ordered the shooting stopped. With their eyes stinging from the gun powder, their lungs burning from the toxic fumes Yurovsky threw open the basement room doors and his men staggered from the room into the corridor. Paul Medvedev, collapsed against the corridor wall and began to vomit. He slumped down further, pale faced and began to convulse. He wasn’t alone, at least a few of the other men did the same. In the room the victims not dead, some withered on floor screaming out in utter agony. Sadly the pain had just began. Yurovsky waiting a few moment for the fumes to clear and reentered the room with Alexei Kabanov, the bloodthirsty Ermakov, Kudrin and his second in command Nikulin.</div><div>When the men crossed the threshold, they found that Dr. Botkin had not perish. On the floor covered in blood the badly wounded doctor was attempting to raise himself from the floor. Yurovsky stepped across the now massive pool of blood pressing the barrel of his Mauser pistol again the doctor’s temple and pulled the trigger. The bullet ripped though Botkin’s head and exited the lower right of his skull, the force causing his body to slam to the floor. Shockingly the 13 year old Alexei still sat on the chair where his father had placed him with a terrified look on his face, spattered with his father’s blood. This time it was Nikulin turn. With trembling hands Nikulin raised his Browning pistol to the little boy’s chest and emptied the clip. Strangely it seemed to do little, Alexei remained in the chair. Another round from Yurovsky Mauser caused the small body to slump to the floor. Yet he still lived. Both men were out of bullets, Yurovsky yelled to Ermakov to finish the boy off. Ermakov pulled his Mosin-Nagant bayonet from his belt and began plunging the triangular blade into the prone body. Alexie struggled against each strike, it was as if he simply refused to die. Yet this was no miracle. Unknown to Yurovsky, Alexei, was wearing an under shirt that had some of the royal jewels sewn into it, basically creating a bullet proof vest. The bayonet probably glanced off the hard surface of the jewels. Unable to stand by any longer Yurovsky pulled a second gun from his belt, this time an American colt, pushed aside Ermakov and pumped two shots into Alexei’s head, ending his short life.</div></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">White Russian Investigator Sokolov's agents were able to enter Yekaterinburg a few days after the massacre and the Bolsheviks fled. They dug out 57 bullets from the walls and floors, which had passed through their victims, more were found later in the mine shaft, Four Brothers, where the bodies were originally dumped, Sokolov speculated a minimum of 70 were fired that horrible July 16 night. Sokolov found these jewels in the mine shaft, they had been sewn into the girls, Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia, and Alexei's underwear. His investigation would last until the Red Bolsheviks won the Russian Civil War. Another 10,000,000 Russians had been killed. Sokolov's investigators took a photo of the actual gravesite without knowing it. They had been told that the Fiat Truck had gotten stuck and railroad ties were used as a means of getting it traction and out of the mud.

Numerous attempts were made to decipher these signs without success. For example, in 1923, a man called Enel wrote in a book that these mysterious signs were secret Persian characters meaning: “Here, through secret forces, the Czar has been offered in sacrifice so that his country be destroyed. All peoples are informed of this event.” A couple of issues, first their were Germans like Lacher in the group, possibly other nationalities, which means it may not be Russian or German. Also, guards apparently wrote insulting family graffiti on the wallpaper by the window. One possibility, 24,678 ROU(ble)S for the year 1918. Some sort of payroll computation for the Bolshevik guards.

In 2007 the academic archaeologists expanded their search area in ever increasing circles, finally finding the meager remains of Alexei and Maria. After they were stripped naked, acid was poured over Alexei and Maria's faces and genitals, then Yurovsky and his Bolsheviks burned their bodies with gasoline. This is all that remains of the children, a few teeth, a few bone fragments. The Bolsheviks realized this would take too long, so they buried the remaining family members and servants under railroad ties in the middle of nowhere. Included in Sokolov's report was a receipt from a chemist’s shop in Yekaterinburg demanding delivery of 400 pounds of sulfuric acid to the Ural Soviet at Ipatiev House, the Bolshevik House of Special Purpose, for which the chemist was paid 196 rubles, 50 kopeks, equivalent to about $95 in 1918 currency. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Looking towards Alexei and Maria's grave from the Romanov family grave under the railroad ties, Alexei and Maria's remains were found under the cross.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh9AWeqR2jDJ3AWQCDpqa-PO2r4tiOmheW0A2DE26ivhLw53ZTiCU6KMoMI6xwFkXjGOLnuwH0TKPBeXztho2jj9pdMQHQv2RYT2Puk2y937JzvliGRekU7UzF6HfFW4gl-rTism3dtbI6/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="513" data-original-width="685" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh9AWeqR2jDJ3AWQCDpqa-PO2r4tiOmheW0A2DE26ivhLw53ZTiCU6KMoMI6xwFkXjGOLnuwH0TKPBeXztho2jj9pdMQHQv2RYT2Puk2y937JzvliGRekU7UzF6HfFW4gl-rTism3dtbI6/w400-h300/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyAyxdEoNTlUV3VNiKaD53oL72KLs1FgaHdU4N7qxKxkRXmsKBoHnZJt022XP8QQxlfepJ6p9JCSQcgnU8OU7XPtQcMhGpOFRm9W8OxG3aeL3NT8_gSnH1Wm_k6SDKLUsXHn_Fv275TGVv/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="429" data-original-width="634" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyAyxdEoNTlUV3VNiKaD53oL72KLs1FgaHdU4N7qxKxkRXmsKBoHnZJt022XP8QQxlfepJ6p9JCSQcgnU8OU7XPtQcMhGpOFRm9W8OxG3aeL3NT8_gSnH1Wm_k6SDKLUsXHn_Fv275TGVv/w400-h271/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Nicholas II and Alexandra Romanov</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG3ZydCli5xYJrFSdWLKr5hAwMyfUq_YFKFd_vKpTzu9zQr8yVeKQSqqOP3yqMxnEQQVstgJJGCNuvGwM6wI5c5L8VxO9_nlli7p_Dp7YqyoWaDrOo63DwQhLrlIGSKxrsx8KiuK83RztP/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG3ZydCli5xYJrFSdWLKr5hAwMyfUq_YFKFd_vKpTzu9zQr8yVeKQSqqOP3yqMxnEQQVstgJJGCNuvGwM6wI5c5L8VxO9_nlli7p_Dp7YqyoWaDrOo63DwQhLrlIGSKxrsx8KiuK83RztP/w400-h400/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">In the early 1900's, it was conventional medical wisdom that cutting children's hair off after they caught the measles was necessary to aid and speed up their recovery, so all the girls experienced this "treatment".

When this order has been carried out he tells him that all the Imperial family will be put to death that same night, directing him to inform the Russian guard later.

text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Dr. Avdonin, a geologist by trade in the Soviet years, was also personally interested in local history and folklore, which in Sverdlovsk had to include the murder of the Romanovs. Indeed, the Ipatiev House, at 49 Voznesensky Prospekt—the leafy end of the town’s main street—where the family was imprisoned and murdered, was called at the time the House of Special Purpose and maintained for some years afterward as the Museum of the Peoples’ Vengeance. Avdonin gathered information informally for years, and, in 1976, met Soviet writer and filmmaker Geli Ryabov [ru], who was given information by the son of one of the killers that led them to identify a precise location and to begin informal exhumations. According to the “Yurovsky Note” a primary historical document authored by the commandant of the Ipatiev House and chief executioner Yakov Yurovsky, the bodies (nine of the eleven) were buried at the place where the truck broke down on the second night following the murder, near Grade Crossing 184 on the Koptyaki Road. Pots of acid had been smashed into the pit to consume the naked remains, and railroad ties had been placed over the pit before a layer of earth. Exhumation of Roma<span style="font-family: inherit;">novs' graves</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">In the spring of 1979, Avdonin and Ryabov began an exhumation of the site, struck the rotted wood of the ties at what they judged a reasonable depth, and dug on. Their methods, though clumsy and potentially destructive to later efforts by professional archaeologists, resulted in the recovery of several skulls. They refilled the pit, kept the skulls briefly, and reburied them with icons and prayers.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Due to the generally repressive Soviet climate, neither Avdonin nor Ryabov said a word about this until ten years later, when Ryabov, in 1989, released the story into the media, causing a rift between the two men, after the fall of the Soviet Union, which was replaced by the Russian Republic.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The site has been treated and explored according to the standards of neither professional archaeology nor careful law-enforcement investigative technique. The official government re-opening in 1991 featured bulldozers, not ultrasound or hand tools. The professional observer stood by in anguish as non-professionals sloshed through the pit, grabbing at bits of ceramic or bone. Evidence indicates that the pit was opened at least once between the re-burial efforts and the "official" opening. <b>Wikipedia</b></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Yurovsky's version of events</b></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>Bolshevik Jacob Yurovsky's Official Report of the Romanov Massacre</b></span></div><br /><div>As regards [sic] rations, the family at the start received a Soviet ration meal. These meals were by far not refined, but [we] decided to stop the meals from the outside. They began to prepare meals in the kitchen. Besides that, I was able to find out that they brought for the imperial family everyday from the monastery, vatrushki [curd tarts] butter, eggs, and so on. I decided to allow this, but was very surprised that such liberties were allowed. Later I learned that this was allowed by Commandant Avdeyev, but Com.[rade] Avdeyev did not pass a lot to the family but kept most of it for himself and his comrades. I decided that all that was brought to the family should be given to them. Only on the second or third day did I find out that the deliveries were allowed by Com.[rade] Avdeyev. I decided to end all deliveries, allowing only milk to be brought, Dr Botkin announced to me that “only after Your appointment during the past two days have we received absolutely everything that was delivered from the monastery and suddenly we are deprived of everything once more, the children need nourishment, but the nourishment is so insufficient, we were very happy that we started to receive all the deliveries from the monastery”. However, I refused to hand over anything except milk, and also decided to transfer them to those rations which was established for all citizens of the city of Ekaterinburg; since there was little produce in the city, I thought that since my prisoners do not do anything and [they] should be content with the same ration which all citizens received. For this reason the cook Kharitonov addressed me with an announcement that he cannot possibly prepare dishes from a quarter of a pound of meat. I responded to him that one needs to get used to living not regally, but needs to live: like being under arrest.</div><div>No matter how difficult it was for Kharitonov to deal with this task, he had to start using precise measures and weigh that quantity appropriate for each day. I told him that no extra produce will be released [to them] in case of a shortage.</div><div>The room in which Alexandra Feodorovna with the heir were lodged, had windows which came out into the yard, which from the street were barricaded by a wooden fence. She allowed herself to frequently look out the window and come close to the window. Once, however, Alexandra Fedorovna allowed herself to come close to the window. From the sentry she received a threat to be struck by a bayonet. She complained to me. I told her that looking out the windows is not allowed.</div><div>Three-four days before the execution an iron screen was installed into Alexandra Fedorovna's window. In this regard Dr Botkin announced that it would be good if such screens were put into the other windows. The indoor schedule was such: in the morning, they got up before 10:00. At 10:00, I appeared in order to check all the prisoners by appearance. For this reason Alexandra Fedorovna expressed her dissatisfaction that she was not used to getting up so early. Then I said that I can check while she is still in bed. To this she declared that she was not used to receiving anyone while in bed. And I declared that it made no difference to me, whatever she prefers, but I had to check every day. Tatiana and Olga, or Maria - most often Tatiana - came to ask can [we] soon go for a walk. Alexandra Fedorovna rarely walked. When she went out for a walk, then without fail with a parasol and in a hat. All the rest usually walked with uncovered heads. Nikolai took turns walking with one or the other of the daughters. Alexei at this time entertained himself with pop-guns, with the boy Sednev. </div><div>While I was repairing the well, Nikolai came closer to me and made some sort of a comment, but I did not sustain a conversation. Once, while walking, Olga chattered up one of the Letts and asked him where he had served. He replied that he served in one of the Grenadier regiments, where during a military review he saw the tsar's daughters. Olga turned to Nikolai, with the exclamation: "Papa, this is one of your Grenadiers". He [Nikolai] approached and said, "Greetings", evidently hoping to hear "Wishing you health" [customary military response], but only received a simple hello. Long after that a Lett comrade reported that he did not get the chance to talk, because I came over and the conversation ended.</div><div>The daughters, especially Tatiana, often opened doors where a sentry permanently stood. [They] tried to exchange pleasantries with them, evidently hoping to win over the Konvoi [military escort]. It must be said that the lads were rather tough and certainly [the Duchesses] were unable to influence them with such niceties.</div><div>As far as I was able to notice, the family led a regular middle-class lifestyle: in the morning they drank tea, after consuming tea each one of them occupies with this or that job - sewing, mending, embroidery. The most intelligent of them were (sic) Tatiana, the second – [one] could consider Olga, who resembled Tatiana very much, including facial expressions. What concerns Maria, she is not similar to and [also] outwardly as the first two sisters: [she is] somewhat reticent and considered like a step-daughter in the family. Anastasia the youngest, flushed, with a rather pretty little face. Alexei was constantly ill with an inherited family disease, mostly found in bed, and was therefore for walks carried outside on arms. I once asked Dr Botkin what sort of illness did Alexei suffer from. He told me that he doesn't feel comfortable talking [about it] because this is a family secret, I didn't insist. Alexandra Fedorovna held herself rather grandly, firmly it seems remembering who she was. Concerning Nikolai, it felt like he was part of an ordinary family, where the wife was stronger than the husband. She demonstrated a lot of pressure [sic] over him. The situation in which I found them, they presented as a serene family ruled by the wife’s iron fist. Nikolai, with drooping face looked highly (sic) ordinary, simple, I would even say, [like] a peasant soldier.</div><div>Arrogance in the family, apart from Alexandra Fedorovna was not noticed in others. If this was not the detested imperial family, who drank so much blood from the, one could have considered them as simple and not arrogant persons. The girls, for example, would run into the kitchen, helped cook, made-up the dough or played cards - durachki (fools) or pasyans or engaged in washing kerchiefs. Everyone dressed simply, nothing fancy. Nikolai behaved earnestly, “democratically”, and even though - as we found later - he had not a few pairs of good new boots, he without fail wore boots with patches. Not least of their pleasures was to soak in the bath several times a day. I however prohibited them from bathing often since there was not enough water. If one looked at this family objectively, then it could be said that they were totally inoffensive.</div><div>The boy Sednev had become so accustomed, and made himself at home with the family, that it was not like a lackey’s attendance assisting the heir to the Russian throne. Often, annoyed Alexandra Fedorovna with his playing with the little dog, which they had. He however, would not quit this for him a pleasing activity, often [he] poisoned Alexandra Fedorovna’s well being. Trupp and Kharitonov were servants who had the loyalty of dogs to their masters.</div><div>Dr Botkin was a loyal friend of the family. In all cases in these or those needs of the family he acted as the petitioner. He was loyal to the family with his body and soul, and worried together with the Romanov family [about] the hardship of their lives. Everyone knows that Nicholai and his family were religious. They asked me if it would be possible to allow them to have obednya [Orthodox liturgy]. I invited a priest and a deacon. When they were in the commandant’s [room] putting on their vestments, I warned them that they can perform the service the way they are supposed to according to their rites, but there were to be no conversations allowed. The deacon stated, “this has happened before and we walked to not such high individuals. One could get confused and a scandal will occur, but in this situation we will swing [the incense burner] with pleasure for their kind souls”. Obednya was served. Nikolai and Alexandra Fedorovna prayed most diligently.</div><div>When I took over my duty, the question already stood about liquidating the Romanov family, since the Czechoslovaks and the Cossacks were closing in on the Urals, closer and closer to Ekaterinburg. Nikolai did have some sort of contact with the outside.</div><div>In view of the threatening situation, the issue was expedited.</div><div>I was entrusted with this issue, but the liquidation was on another comrade.</div><div>On 16 July, 1918, about 2 o’clock in the afternoon, comrade Filipp came to the house and presented me with the resolution from the Executive Committee to execute Nikolai, [and] at this time it was pointed out that the boy Sednev must be removed.</div><div>That during the night, a comrade will arrive who will say the password “chimneysweep” and to whom the corpses must be given, which he will bury and liquidate the job. I called the boy Sednev and told him that yesterday his arrested uncle Sednev escaped but he was detained once again, and that he wants to see the boy. Therefore I am sending him to his uncle. He rejoiced to be sent back to his hometown. Restlessness began in the Romanov family. As always, Dr Botkin immediately came to me and asked [me] to tell [him] where the boy was sent. I told him also what I told the boy, but he was still somewhat concerned. Later, Tatiana came, but I calmed her, saying that the boy went to see his uncle and will return soon. I summoned the head of the detachment, comrade Pavel Medvedev from the Syseretsky Factory and others, and told them that in case of an alarm they have to wait until they receive an agreed upon special signal. Having called the inner guard who were chosen for the execution of Nikolai and his family, I assigned the roles - and directed who will shoot whom. I provided them with “Nagan” system revolvers. When I allotted their roles, the Letts said that I spare them from the responsibility of shooting the girls, because they would not be able to do that. Then I decided it would be for the best to completely free these comrades from the shooting as people who are not capable of performing their revolutionary duty at the most decisive moment. Having completed all the appropriate assignments, we waited for the “chimneysweep”. However, not at 12, not at 1 o’clock did the “chimneysweep” appear, and the time was passing. The nights were short. I thought that they will not come today. Alas, at 1:30 they knocked. The “chimneysweep” has arrived. I went to the lodgings woke up Dr Botkin, and told him that everyone has to dress quickly because there are disturbances in the city, and that I must transfer them to a safer place. Not wishing to hurry them, I gave them the opportunity to get dressed. At 2 o’clock I transferred the escort [guard] to the lower premises. Told them to arrange themselves in [their] arranged order. I alone led the family downstairs. Nikolai was carrying Alexei in his arms. The rest, some with pillows in their hands, some with other items, we came down to the lower level to a special room previously prepared. Alexandra Fedorovna asked for a chair, Nikolai asked for a chair for Alexei.</div><div>I ordered that the chairs be brought. Alexandra Fedorovna sat down. Alexei as well. I suggested that everyone stand up. Everyone stood up, taking up the entire wall and one of the side walls. The room was very small. Nikolai stood with his back to me. I announced: the Executive Committee of Soviet Workers, Peasants and Soldier Deputies of the Urals carried [a decision] to shoot them. Nikolai turned around and asked (sic). I repeated the order and commanded “Shoot”. I shot first and killed Nikolai to drop (sic). The firing went on for a very long time, and despite my hopes that the wooden wall would not cause a ricochet, the bullets bounced off it. I was not able to stop this shooting for a long time, which took on a disorderly character. But when I finally was able to stop it, I realized that many were still alive.</div><div>For instance, Dr Botkin lay propped up on the elbow of his right arm, as if in a relaxed pose, a revolver shot finished him off, Alexei, Tatiana, Anastasia and Olga were still alive too. Also alive was Demidova. Com. Ermakov wanted to finish the job with a bayonet. However, this was not possible. The reason for this became clear later (the daughters had diamond armor [sewn] into their under bodices). I was forced to shoot each one in turn. Most unfortunately, the valuables brought down with the executed attracted the attention of some of the red guard who were present, who decided to steal them. I proposed that the transfer of the corpses be stopped and asked Com. Medvedev to watch in the truck that no valuables were touched. On the spot, I [personally] decided to gather everything that was there.</div><div>I positioned Nikulin to watch the road when they would load the corpses, and also left another below to watch those who were still there. After the loading the, I called in all the participants and demanded that they immediately return everything they had taken, otherwise threatened punishment. One by one they began to return what they happened to have. Turned out there were two [or] three weak-willed men. Despite the fact that I had the inclination to commission the remaining work to com.[rade] Ermakov, I was worried that he would not be able to perform this job in the proper way, [and] decided to go myself. I left Nikulin [behind]. Ordered not to remove the [guard] watch, so that nothing changed outwardly.</div><div><br /></div><div>At 3:00 or 3:30 in the morning on 17 July, we headed in the direction of Verkh-Isetsky factory. Passing the yard of the factory, I asked Ermakov if he brought instruments in case we had to dig a pit. Ermakov told me that they had prepared a mineshaft and therefore no instruments will be needed, but most likely one of the lads grabbed something. Departing three versts from the Verkh-Isetsky factory we stumbled upon an entire camp of droshky and mounted riders. I asked Ermakov, “What does this mean?”. He told me, “These are all our lads who came to help us”. Why did you need such a mass of people, why did you need the droshky? He told me. I thought that all these people would be needed. And since I did not know his plan, I continued to follow in the truck. More than once we got stuck in the mud. At one spot we got stuck between two trees and stopped. Further there was the swamp. Could not go further in the truck. The workers, among whom were non-members of ISPOLKOM of the Verkh-Isetsky factory, expressed their displeasure that the corpses were brought, not the living, whom they wanted to torment to satisfy themselves … When [we] started to unload the droshky, it appeared very and (sic) very difficult (did not think to bring wagons). With great difficulty we had to pile the corpses into the droshky in order to go further. The promised mineshaft was not there. Where the mineshaft was, no one knew. When they started to unload the corpses from the truck, the lads again started to ransack [their] pockets. Here it was found that something was sewn in [their] belongings, and here I decided that before I bury them, I will burn these belongings. I threatened the lads so that they do not take part in this matter and continue the unloading. The mounted riders went to look for the mineshaft of which they spoke. Riding for some time, they did not find any mineshaft, returned with nothing. It already started to lighten. Peasants were going out to work. Nothing more was left but to move in an unfamiliar direction. Ermakov was adamant that he knew of another mineshaft, somewhere further, and we headed in that direction. About 16 versts from Verkh-Isetsk and about 1½ or 2 versts from Koptyaki village, we stopped. The lads drove into the forest and returned saying that [they] found the mineshaft. We turned into the forest. The mineshaft turned out to be very shallow. Some kind of abandoned old remains (sic). Unharnessed the horses. Built a fire. Placed a strike-force (sic) from the riders around the forest. Chased away the peasants [who] were nearby. Surrounded the area with mounted riders. I started to undress the corpses. Undressing one of the daughters, I found a corset which had something tightly sewn [in it]. I ripped it and found precious stones. Masses of people, in this situation were completely undesirable. The precious stones caused involuntary shouts, exclamations. Not knowing these lads well, I said, “Lads, these are trifles, some kind of plain rocks”. I stopped the work and decided to let everyone go, except a few more or less known to me and reliable, as well as a few mounted riders. I kept five men for myself and three riders, the remainder I let go. Besides my people, there were also 25 persons who Ermakov had prepared. I set about anew to unseal the precious stones. The precious stones were found to be with Tatiana, Olga and Anastasia. Here the special position Maria held in the family was confirmed, on [Maria] there were no precious stones. On Alexandra Fedorovna there were long strings of pearls and a huge coiled golden ring, or rather a hoop, about a half a pound. How or who wore this thing seemed strange to me. All these valuables I pulled out here from skillfully prepared brassieres and corsets. There was no less than half a pood [18 pounds or 16 kilograms] of precious stones. Among them were diamonds and other precious stones. All items (dresses and so on) were burned right there in the fire. On all their necks small pillows were worn, into which were sewn the prayers and teachings of Grishka Rasputin. On the spot where the clothes were burned, we found precious stones which [were] probably sewn into separate places and in dress folds.</div><div>However, after the red army men arrived later, [one] brought me a fairly large diamond weighing about 8 carats, and said, take the rock, I found it where the corpses were burned. </div><div>By the order of the Ural Regional ISPOLKOM, I took these jewels to Perm, and handed [them] over to Com. Trifonov. Later, Com. Trifonov along with Com. Filippov (Goloshekin) and Com. Novoselov “committed these items to the soil of the Ural proletariat”, [was] how Com. Smigla expressed it, in one of the small houses, temporarily occupied especially for this [purpose] in Alapaevsk factory. In 1919, after taking-over of the Urals, these items were dug up and brought to Moscow.</div><div>The place for Nikolai’s eternal rest was quite unfortunate. But there was nothing left to do, but to temporarily lower them down into this mineshaft so that on the next day, or later the same day, [we could] undertake something else. We lowered the corpses into the mineshaft. In the mineshaft there was no more than one - one and a half arshins [one arshin = 2.3 feet or 0.7 meter] of water. I left the guard. Arranged the mounted guard. I personally went to town in order to report to the Soviet that the matter could be left the way it was. At the Soviet saw comrades Safarov and Beloborodov. Reported [to them] what was done. Pointed out the impossibility of leaving them in that mineshaft. Told them that it was necessary to find another spot, [and] during the night exhume and bury them in another place. Com. Beloborodov and Safarov did not give me an answer at that time. Later, com. Filipp recommended one comrade who was supposed to destroy the corpses by some other method. I went to Chutzkaev, who was at the time the president of the Ekaterinburg City Soviet, in order to find out if he knew of any deep mineshafts nearer to Ekaterinburg. Com. Chutzkaev said that at 9 versts, on the Moskovsky highway, there were deep mineshafts. I decided that these mineshafts would be the better [place]. I took the automobile and set off. From Chutzkaev I set off to the Extraordinary Committee office where I caught up with Filipp again, and other comrades. Here [we] decided nevertheless to burn them. But since no one was familiar with this matter, [we] did not know how or what to do. Nonetheless still decided to burn them. I went to the Head of the Department of Supplies of the Ural National Economy, com. Voikov, and ordered three barrels of kerosene and three containers of sulfuric acid. Then, on horseback, [I] set off with com. Pavlushin to see how the matter stood at the place and where best to organize this. We went there [in] late evening. On the way, my horse fell and badly pressed down on my leg, I could not stand up. [After] lying for a few minutes [I] climbed on another [horse] and shuffled on somehow. We arrived at the place. I proposed that we bury them in different spots: first along the clay road – and hence traces [could be] easily covered, and secondly in the swamp. On that we with com. Pavlushin decided. Some set on fire, some to be buried. We returned to ISKOLPOM. I asked com. Pavlushin to ride off for this and that in connection with this. Pavlushin rode off, during this time I was (sic) with com. Voikov [to find out] about the kerosene and sulfuric acid, which was not easy to get. Shovels were needed, which the head of Supplies did not have, but the yard keeper had a few shovels in the yard, which we took. Pavlushin was not back still. Waited for some time, [then] I went to the Extraordinary Committee. Turned out that Pavlushin was lying in bed. Next to him was a doctor. He fell off his horse and broke his leg, and could barely ride. Meanwhile, all the work related to the burnings was his responsibility, as a person who has, how can one say, some experience in more or less complicated procedures. But it was necessary to ‘perform’ [Translator’s comment: Yurovsky used the word prodelat’ or “trick” instead of prodelivat’] this, that this matter was not easy. I, using the position of comrade commissar of Justice of the Ural District, made out an order for the prison to bring me some horses and wagons without drivers. The wagons arrived at 12:30 at night. Receiving all the necessities, seating com. Pavlushin into the droshky, we set off. Around 4 [in the morning] we reached the place and started to unload the corpses. Koptyaki Village was located only 2 versts from where our mineshaft was. [We] needed to make this place safe. I sent persons into the village to say that they were prohibited from leaving the village, because an intelligence operation was taking place here now, possibly shooting will begin, and possibility of victims. Positioning the mounted riders, we continued our work. Exhuming the corpses was not an easy matter. By morning we were able to extract the corpses. We drove them closer to the road, and I decided to bury Nikolai and Alexei. We dug a rather deep pit. This was near 9 in the morning. Someone noticed that a peasant was riding over. Ermakov was here. This peasant turned out to be Ermakov’s acquaintance, Ermakov assured [us] that the peasant saw nothing, and he let him go. Many orders were given out, that under no circumstances was anyone who broke through forcefully [was] to be released alive. I checked if the peasant saw what happened here and it turned out that he undoubtedly could see and understand, [and] would gossip that something was happening here. I decided to take the corpses deeper into the forest, and once again headed to town, and decided to have a spare place, just in case. Not without difficulty I found an automobile, drove to Moskovsky highway, to those mineshafts which Chutzkaev spoke about the night before. </div><div>About 1 ½ - 2 versts from the mineshafts, the automobile broke down. During the course of an hour or half hour (sic) the automobile was not able to be repaired. I decided to set off on foot to look at these mineshafts. At these mineshafts there were a few guards with their families. The mineshafts were rather deep, and I decided that this would be the very best place to bury Nikolai and his family – where no one would find them. Returning to the automobile, I saw that it was in the same position. Going to the city on foot would be impossible. I decided to stop the first horse or car I could get. At this time, a pair of horses [horsemen] drove (sic) by. I stopped them, "Well, friends, where are you going, I need your horses". "But permit us it's comrade Yurovsky". "Yes, comrade Yurovsky, and who are you." "Acquaintances". "Well here's how it is, fellows. It is essential for me to travel into town, but the car has broken down." "Yes we are in a hurry". "Well, a car will take you in, fellows". They agreed. On these horses I arrived into Ekaterinburg. Had to search for an automobile. The matter was not easy. But, my comrades were without rations for two days now. Had to bring them food at least. I went to the motor depot of the District Military Commissariat. There I found almost no one. There was no spare car. However, one young fellow, who evidently sensed or guessed, said, "Do you need a car (sic) truck, and so on. Good, I will give you one. But here is the thing. We only have Stogov's [car], it's very lightweight". "Fine, give [me] Stogov's, be it Stogov’s, what's the difference". General Stogov was the Chief of Military Communications: later he was executed for collaborating with the White guard. A truck with rations was sent out. Then sent a second truck. Commissioned that all corpses be loaded onto the wagons, and where it was possible to pass through freely so that it was possible to re-load [them] into the trucks, so that the people could eat, and so forth. Later I took off in the truck and in the lightweight car on one road, and on the other I sent out comrades in order to track which way would be most convenient to drive back, since I decided to transport the corpses in automobiles. I ordered to prepare rocks, ropes, so that by tying the rocks to the bodies [we could] lower [them] into the mineshafts. Crossing the railroad line, in about 2 versts I met up with the moving caravan with the corpses. At around 9-9 ½ o’clock in the evening, we crossed the railroad line where we decided to re-load onto the trucks. They assured me that the road here was good. However, there was a swamp on the way. For that reason we brought cross ties in order to spread over this place. Spread them down. Drove over successfully. In about ten paces from this place we got stuck again. Wasted no less than an hour. Got the truck out. Moved farther. Got stuck again. Wasted [time] until 4 in the morning. Nothing was accomplished. The time was late. One of the lightweight trucks with the other comrades and Com. Pavlushin also got stuck somewhere in the same. These people wasted a third day. Exhausted. Without sleep. Began to get agitated: Any minute we expected the Czechoslovaks to seize Ekaterinburg. Had to find another way.</div><div>I decided to make use of the swamp. And burn some of the corpses. Unharnessed the horses. Unloaded the corpses. Opened the barrels. Placed one corpse to test how it would burn. The corpse charred relatively quickly, then I ordered to start burning Alexei. At this time [they were] digging a pit. The pit was dug in the swamp where the cross ties were layered. Dug a pit about 2 ½ arshins deep, three arshins square. It was just before morning. Burning the rest of the corpses was not possible because again the peasants began to come out for work, and for that reason we had to bury the corpses in the pit. Laying the corpses in the pit, doused them with sulfuric acid, with this ended the funeral for Nikolai and his family and all the rest. Laid the cross ties on top. Leveled it. Drove over it. Firm.</div><div>Near the spot where the corpses were burned, we dug a pit right there, laid the bones in there, lit the fire anew. And swept the traces.</div><div>After this difficult job by the third night, i.e. on the morning of 19 July ending the job, I addressed the comrades with the instructions about the importance of this job, and the necessity of complete secrecy until it becomes officially known. We headed to town. On the next day, on the orders of the Executive Committee I departed for Moscow with a report to the President of the All-Russian's Central Executive Committee, comrade Y.M. Sverdlov.</div><div>The initial burial spot, as pointed out earlier, was 16 versts from Ekaterinburg, and 2 versts from Koptyaki, the latter place is located approximately 8-8 ½ versts from Ekaterinburg, and 1 ½ versts approximately from the railroad line.</div><div>How they searched for me</div><div>On 26 June (sic), 1918, as soon as the Czechoslovaks seized Ekaterinburg, my apartment was pillaged, and my mother, an elderly 70-year old was arrested and sent into prison, in fact all her things were taken away from her up to the undergarments. She sat in prison for almost a year in one shirt, barefooted, and only by a timely chance [she] was not shot. Prior to the retreat of the whites, someone from medical personnel convinced her to go to the typhus barracks. They constantly demanded her to betray her son, i.e. me. They treated her barbarically: cursed with abusive profanities, or yelled: "Swine, giving birth to such a son". I of course never told my mother anything about my involvement in Nikolai's execution. And I did not tell her because she decidedly refused to leave Ekaterinburg, stating that she was old and that they will most likely not bother an old woman, and in any case, [she would] die soon anyway. And since by nature she was unable not to tell the truth she would not be able to talk her way out of it. But since she frankly knew nothing, only guessed, then to questions "Where is Nikolai's family. Where are they", she replied, "I only know about oven prongs, the poker and the kitchen, and so on, and know nothing more". But when they asked her whose side she was on, the Bolsheviks’ or the Whites’, she would answer, "I am for my son". When one day they pointed out to her that it was useless to resist, that it would pay to tell everything and she will be free, otherwise she will be shot for refusing to speak– and right here added [your] son was already in our hands. She answered, "Well, and I am in your hands too, do with me what you yearn for…" Curses and threats anew.</div><div>Of the comrades who sat in prison not many of those [who] remained (since it is known that before the retreat of the Whites, under pressure from the approaching Red Army, there were 600 people brought out from the Ekaterinburg prison, of whom 30 saved themselves through mass escape, the rest were shot [like] beasts), among whom was the now deceased Sima Deryabina, the living: Olga Danilovna Lobkova (now Sosnovskaya), Anya Lirman and many other names which I don't remember. They used to call my mother “grandmother of the workers' revolution” because of her permanently happy and kind personality. Often, during oppressive minutes (sic) she was reproached that she was singing songs, she would reply, "But why be quiet [Translator’s comment: imprecise word here used by Yurovsky]". But nonetheless (sic) the barbaric conditions maintained at the prison tore her strength and 6 months after being released from prison she passed away from heart failure. During that time she was ardently involved in (sic) ‘subbotniks’, and was full of life even though she was 71 years old. My task here is not to write my mother's biography in general, or [specifically] during that period of the revolution, but I could not deny myself from saying a few words about my ardently beloved mother with her constantly lively character, who bore much suffering during her long life, and [especially] in the final years, because of me. </div><div>In Tomsk, around November of 1918, my two brothers were arrested, [along with my] brother’s wife and also a few more people who happened to be in my brother Leonti's apartment during the time of the arrest. The second brother, Ilya, came to Tomsk to be treated [for an illness] and instead of professors happened to end up in the hands of the white guard. Leonti told me the following. Once the entire block, where he lived was surrounded by a whole regiment of soldiers. Officers and soldiers entered his apartment (my brother the watchmaker was sitting at his bench, working), an officer asked: "Your surname". He answered, "Yurovsky". Looking at him the officer exclaimed, "He is wanted” Everyone was informed that he was under arrest, and they demanded from my brother to immediately hand over the jewelry box with the valuables taken from the tsar. To his reply that this must be some mistake, curses flowed and threats with shouts of "tsar-killers". Immediately everyone was tied up, (they) began to ransack the apartment, breaking up the floors with bayonets, upturn ovens, walls, but of course found nothing. This shameless officer’s white guard did not pay attention to the almost destitute surroundings, to the ragged children. [They] were convinced that specifically the imperial valuables were here and that specifically here were the tsar-killers, for who they were thoroughly searching in their fury. All were transported to Tomsk, shackled in hand and leg irons. There they were for some time. [Then] sent them to Irkutsk. Then to Chita. Later again to Irkutsk. And so, for a period of 8 months they held them under the threat of being shot. Evidently they detained them, without shooting them in the hope to create a legal action. But the Red Army which liberated Siberia liberated them.</div><div>In the interest of clarifying this fact, I considered it necessary now to lay out in detail the story of the execution of the former tsar Nikolai, his family and those close to them who did not wish to leave the tsarist family despite the offer by the ISPOLKOM.</div><div>The white guard, the Kolchak and other press, and by that extent the one abroad write up this fact in a completely perverted form (yes they could not have had all the facts).</div><div>They tried to present us as robbers and executioners. In the meantime, the magnanimity of the proletariat presents an example which knows no boundaries. Examples of brutality by the white guard are endless: 26 commissars executed barbarically in Georgia, com. Radek by the “scheidemanovtsi” [Translator’s comment: Old bolshevik term used after the German right wing leader F. Scheidemann whom was claimed to have interfered with the revolutionary movement during 1919], on an iron chain in some thieves’ den, and etc and so on.</div><div>One must consider Nikolai's crimes: how much of workers' and peasants' blood, not only his subjects', but also of foreign workers', was drunk by this universal gendarme-bloodsucker. And now what: he still lives in Tobolsk in the regal lifestyle, and only in Ekaterinburg he converted into the position of an average bourgeoisie. He has four servants, occupies 6 rooms. The tsarist daughters were never insulted. Compare the behavior of the tsarist executioners, of the educated white guards who pretend to be civilized, in relation to us – to the workers and peasants, and the Red Army soldiers. </div><div>The insurrection of the proletariat, beaten down by need, illiterate, having the full opportunity and full right to vent their centuries-long anger against those villains [who were now] in their hands.</div><div>And yet what beauty: those who revolted to liberate humanity, even in dealings with their irate enemies showed incomparable magnanimity not insulting [them], not diminishing [their] human dignity, not forcing the people to suffer unnecessarily - [people] who had to die because historical circumstances demanded it. </div><div>These People strictly performed [their] difficult revolutionary duty - those to be executed learned their fate just two minutes before [their] death.</div><div>The talk that the tsar and his family had to be shot by foreigners – the Letts, that somehow Russian workers and peasants could not have done the, this is all nonsense, which only foolish and desperate monarchists would believe.</div><div>The fact of expediting the execution of the family was provoked not by us, but because of the approaching contra-revolutionaries, and particularly because of the extraordinary "care" about the destiny of Nikolai on the part of his close haughty relatives and attendees. That it was timely is proven by the fact that neither in Ekaterinburg, nor in other areas within the limits of the R. S. F. S. R. [Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic] within its preceding borders, and in other territories of Russia, did this execution generate objections or protests from the poor.</div><div>This means that the elimination of the autocracy - and in particular of Nikolai and his family, in the conscience of the people was so ripe, that it was probably done later than it should have been in the path of the revolution.</div><div>Here it must be remembered about the letter I received in 1919 (after the recapture of Ekaterinburg by us) from a group of peasants from the village of Koptyaki, undersigned "well wishers", warning me of the threatening dangers from the side of some incorrigible blind followers of the bloody tsar.</div><div>Just how much our decision was the right one at the moment was testified by the fact that we had to hold back the pressure from the Ural workers who felt that it was necessary to get rid as soon as possible of the rubbish which no one needed, the rubbish which could play an angry role in the adverse conditions during the battle to strengthen the power of the workers.</div><div>The justice of the Revolution was the verdict of the people.</div><div>The events and the circumstances of the battle threw overboard the need for the organization of a trial for Nikolai and for the publicity of his execution.</div><div>To the People, it was all too clear…</div><div> </div><div>Yakov Yurovsky</div><div>April-May 1922</div><div>Moscow</div></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Rasputin's letter to the Czar days before his murder.</b> </span></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">In December 1916 Grigory Rasputin sent a letter to Nicholas II about his own death: </span></b></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“I feel that I shall leave life before January 1st.

I showed them into the dining room and they stood for a little while, silently examining the spot where Rasputin was to meet his end. I took from the ebony cabinet a box containing the poison and laid it on the table. Dr Lazovert put on rubber gloves and ground the cyanide of potassium crystals to powder. Then, lifting the top of each cake, he sprinkled the inside with a dose of poison, which, according to him, was sufficient to kill several men instantly. There was an impressive silence. We all followed the doctor's movements with emotion. There remained the glasses into which cyanide was to be poured. It was decided to do this at the last moment so that the poison should not evaporate and lose its potency. We had to give the impression of having just finished supper for I had warned Rasputin that when we had guests we took our meals in the basement and that I sometimes stayed there alone to read or work while my friends went upstairs to smoke in my study." Prince Felix Yusupov "Lost Splendor" (1953)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">"We sat down at the round tea table and Yusupov invited us to drink a glass of tea and to try the cakes before they had been doctored. The quarter of an hour which we spent at the table seemed like an eternity to me.... Once we finished our tea, we tried to give the table the appearance of having been suddenly left by a large group frightened by the arrival of an unexpected guest. We poured a little tea into each of the cups, left bits of cake and pirozhki on the plates, and scattered some crumbs among several of the crumpled table napkins.... Once we had given the table the necessary appearance, we got to work on the two plates of petits fours. Yusupov gave Dr Lazovert several pieces of the potassium cyanide and he put on the gloves which Yusupov had procured and began to grate poison into a plate with a knife. Then picking out all the cakes with pink cream (there were only two varieties, pink and chocolate), he lifted off the top halves and put a good quantity of poison in each one, and then replaced the tops to make them look right. When the pink cakes were ready, we placed them on the plates with the brown chocolate ones. Then, we cut up two of the pink ones and, making them look as if they had been bitten into, we put these on different plates around the table." </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Vladimir Purishkevich "The Murder of Rusputin" (1918)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Felix Yusupov added: "It was agreed that when I went to fetch Rasputin, Dmitrii, Purishkevich and Sukhotin would go upstairs and play the gramophone, choosing lively tunes. I wanted to keep Rasputin in a good humour and remove any distrust that might be lurking in his mind." Stanislaus de Lazovert now went to fetch Rasputin in the car. "At midnight the associates of the Prince concealed themselves while I entered the car and drove to the home of the monk. He admitted me in person. Rasputin was in a gay mood. We drove rapidly to the home of the Prince and descended to the library, lighted only by a blazing log in the huge chimney-place. A small table was spread with cakes and rare wines - three kinds of the wine were poisoned and so were the cakes. The monk threw himself into a chair, his humour expanding with the warmth of the room. He told of his successes, his plots, of the imminent success of the German arms and that the Kaiser would soon be seen in Petrograd. At a proper moment he was offered the wine and the cakes. He drank the wine and devoured the cakes. Hours slipped by, but there was no sign that the poison had taken effect. The monk was even merrier than before. We were seized with an insane dread that this man was inviolable, that he was superhuman, that he couldn't be killed. It was a frightful sensation. He glared at us with his black, black eyes as though he read our minds and would fool us."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Vladimir Purishkevich later recalled that Felix Yusupov joined them upstairs and exclaimed: "It is impossible. Just imagine, he drank two glasses filled with poison, ate several pink cakes and, as you can see, nothing has happened, absolutely nothing, and that was at least fifteen minutes ago! I cannot think what we can do... He is now sitting gloomily on the divan and the only effect that I can see of the poison is that he is constantly belching and that he dribbles a bit. Gentlemen, what do you advise that I do?" Eventually it was decided that Yusupov should go down and shoot Rasputin.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">According to Yusupov's account: "Rasputin stood before me motionless, his head bent and his eyes on the crucifix. I slowly raised the crucifix. I slowly raised the revolver. Where should I aim, at the temple or at the heart? A shudder swept over me; my arm grew rigid, I aimed at his heart and pulled the trigger. Rasputin gave a wild scream and crumpled up on the bearskin. For a moment I was appalled to discover how easy it was to kill a man. A flick of a finger and what had been a living, breathing man only a second before, now lay on the floor like a broken doll."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Stanislaus de Lazovert agrees with this account except that he was uncertain who fired the shot: "With a frightful scream Rasputin whirled and fell, face down, on the floor. The others came bounding over to him and stood over his prostrate, writhing body. We left the room to let him die alone, and to plan for his removal and obliteration. Suddenly we heard a strange and unearthly sound behind the huge door that led into the library. The door was slowly pushed open, and there was Rasputin on his hands and knees, the bloody froth gushing from his mouth, his terrible eyes bulging from their sockets. With an amazing strength he sprang toward the door that led into the gardens, wrenched it open and passed out." Lazovert added that it was Vladimir Purishkevich who fired the next shot: "As he seemed to be disappearing in the darkness, Purishkevich, who had been standing by, reached over and picked up an American-made automatic revolver and fired two shots swiftly into his retreating figure. We heard him fall with a groan, and later when we approached the body he was very still and cold and - dead."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Felix Yusupov later recalled: "On hearing the shot my friends rushed in. Rasputin lay on his back. His features twitched in nervous spasms; his hands were clenched, his eyes closed. A bloodstain was spreading on his silk blouse. A few minutes later all movement ceased. We bent over his body to examine it. The doctor declared that the bullet had struck him in the region of the heart. There was no possibility of doubt: Rasputin was dead. We turned off the light and went up to my room, after locking the basement door."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich Romanov drove the men to Varshavsky Rail Terminal where they burned Rasputin's clothes. "It was very late and the grand duke evidently feared that great speed would attract the suspicion of the police." They also collected weights and chains and returned to Yuspov's home. At 4.50 a.m. Dimitri drove the men and Rasputin's body to Petrovskii Bridge. that crossed towards Krestovsky Island. According to Vladimir Purishkevich: "We dragged Rasputin's corpse into the grand duke's car." Purishkevich claimed he drove very slowly: "It was very late and the grand duke evidently feared that great speed would attract the suspicion of the police." Stanislaus de Lazovert takes up the story when they arrived at Petrovskii: "We bundled him up in a sheet and carried him to the river's edge. Ice had formed, but we broke it and threw him in. The next day search was made for Rasputin, but no trace was found."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Rasputin's body was found on 19th December by a river policeman who was walking on the ice. He noticed a fur coat trapped beneath, approximately 65 metres from the bridge. The ice was cut open and Rasputin's frozen body discovered. The post mortem was held the following day. Major-General Popel carried out the investigation of the murder. By this time Dr. Stanislaus de Lazovert and Lieutenant Sergei Mikhailovich Sukhotin had fled from the city. He did interview Felix Yusupov, Dmitri Pavlovich Romanov and Vladimir Purishkevich, but he decided not to charge them with murder.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>EVERY VERSION OF THAT NIGHT CONTAINED LIES TO PROTECT OSWALD RAYNER AND THE BRITISH SECRET SERVICE/MI6</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Czar Nicholas II did not believe the story and told British ambassador, George Buchanan, that he knew that British MI6 agents were involved in the plot to kill Gregori Rasputin.</b> Buchanan called Samuel Hoare in to tell him of the Czar's accusations. Hoare reacted angrily and described the story as "incredible to the point of childishness". Richard Cullen, who has examined the released MI6 files, argues in Rasputin (2010), that the assassination of Rasputin had been organized by three MI6 agents, John Scale, Oswald Rayner and Stephen Alley: "Rasputin's death was calculated, brutal, violent and slow and it was orchestrated by John Scale, Stephen Alley and Oswald Rayner through the close personal relationship that existed between Rayner and Yusupov."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Romanovs buried him on a hill further down the path, they were planning a church and invalid hospital and home on the site.

He had been shot in the side, blood was found in the snow covered courtyard of the Yusupov Palace. In Rasputin's forehead was a coup de grace wound. There is a debate whether the conspirators version is wholly accurate, but most people believe that the coup de grace shot to Rasputin was fired by MI6 Agent Oswald Rayner. As a footnote, there is a museum which claims to have Rasputin's penis, scrotum and nuts, which were kept as a trophy by his murderers. Too graphic to show, but such is the claim. Rasputin was know to commit acts of public indecency, displaying his penis and saying this rules Russia when he was drunk. Exactly the kind of things his enemies would use to justify his murder. If these men kept a souvenier, that is exactly the kind of grisly one they would choose. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiofuHNH0vfLpUFA6DcSPpzCWiB348n-UxaeyFI9ZW4EhzwF4aI74jfBz3J_5TwMk_G_UFtq73PzKHnAfDZnjtGFMoPR44P3Hyg-eF1T1etHk69mxEyhJ25_kUmPf08j66UTyWGJM9pmB2R/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="306" data-original-width="200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiofuHNH0vfLpUFA6DcSPpzCWiB348n-UxaeyFI9ZW4EhzwF4aI74jfBz3J_5TwMk_G_UFtq73PzKHnAfDZnjtGFMoPR44P3Hyg-eF1T1etHk69mxEyhJ25_kUmPf08j66UTyWGJM9pmB2R/w262-h400/image.png" width="262" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrTjAgdiZwlebDUtJYlMbCc8RIem4qnq-6iR_yOZ0xvfbTexDXuPGJlcmbQk_f24q2PRYoAK9SIzyjSr7Hvcm8vOnNTbksNZ6EcjeudzPj7oIo0uquF3WoL_X9D9qyhlPhz_subJDn5CBW/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="580" data-original-width="432" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrTjAgdiZwlebDUtJYlMbCc8RIem4qnq-6iR_yOZ0xvfbTexDXuPGJlcmbQk_f24q2PRYoAK9SIzyjSr7Hvcm8vOnNTbksNZ6EcjeudzPj7oIo0uquF3WoL_X9D9qyhlPhz_subJDn5CBW/w298-h400/rasputinew8.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Rasputin with his children</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLTGKpK0W0RCYmRCGqIiDCXwRRIr2bATDElHq7a_c6eAzdKX0ag0hUtplgXlnFEypS-QnOlcX0QLvC4YijZhmnLfeuzw0ouVLx9Ib9XrfzeYEgP-JsvFm__vxtXGouu7xiT2FTox2Ay-4f/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="482" data-original-width="900" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLTGKpK0W0RCYmRCGqIiDCXwRRIr2bATDElHq7a_c6eAzdKX0ag0hUtplgXlnFEypS-QnOlcX0QLvC4YijZhmnLfeuzw0ouVLx9Ib9XrfzeYEgP-JsvFm__vxtXGouu7xiT2FTox2Ay-4f/w400-h214/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A modern memorial on the site of Empress Alexandra's grave for Rasputin.

ShapovaIenkova [a doctor's wife] has presented him with a carpet. He has dispatched a telegram: "Tsarskoe-Selo, Palace Hospital. Anna Alexandrovna Vyroubova. Although I was not present in the body, in spirit I rejoiced with you. My feelings are the feelings of God. I send an angel to console and calm you. Call in a doctor."</div><div><br /></div><div>12 January. Rasputin has received a petition to His Majesty from a peasant of the government of Saratov, called Gavrill Panteleiev Shishkin, with an "appeal for remission (he has been convicted to imprisonment in a fortress on account of his connection with some sect); and another from a peasant of the government of Tambov called Alexander Ossipov Sleptzov, also appealing for pardon. The latter has been convicted for forgery of cheques.</div><div><br /></div><div>Rasputin charged them 250 roubles for his trouble.</div><div><br /></div><div>17 January. Rasputin spent fifty minutes in the public baths, in No-3, 4th Rogdestvenskaia Street, but whether he went there alone or with someone has not been ascertained.</div><div><br /></div><div>18 January. The peasant Avgust Kornilovitch, an employee of Councilor of State Ginsburg [contractor for coal to the fleet] brought Rasputin 1,000 roubles, forwhich he took a receipt in the delivery book.</div><div><br /></div><div>26 January. Simanovitch [a merchant] has brought Rasputin several bottles of wine. Rasputin gave a dance tonight in honour of some discharged prisoners. The entertainment was attended by the two Volynskys, Shapovalenkova, Maria Golovina and by four unknown men and six unknown women. One of the men carried a guitar. The party was very noisy, with singing, dancing and applause; it lasted till late into the night</div><div><br /></div><div>28 January, Von Bock, accompanied by an unknown person, brought Rasputin acase of wine.</div><div><br /></div><div>12 February. Rasputin was taken by an unknown woman into the house No. 15-17, Trotzkaia Street to Prince Andronikov [attached to the Ministry of Internal Affairs]. His departure was not observed, but at half past four in the morning he returned home in the company of six drunken men (one of whom was carrying a guitar). These people remained with him till six o'clock, singing and dancing. The following morning Rasputin received nobody, as he was asleep.</div><div><br /></div><div>18 February. Rasputin has dispatched a telegram:</div><div><br /></div><div>Tsarskoe-Selo. Vyroubova. Tell Korovina to be at your house at three to-morrow."</div><div><br /></div><div>19 February. At 10.15 in the evening Rasputin came out of No. I, Spasskaia Street from the Solovievs [Soloviev - a Secretary of State], accompanied by two ladies and left for an unknown destination. He returned home alone at three o'clock at night.</div><div><br /></div><div>21 February. Nicolai Alexeievitch Glazov visited Rasputin by car, bringing with him several bottles of wine; having been joined by Rasputin, they both drove to the Great Northern Hotel to see Terekhov-Miklashevskaia [a courtesan]. They stayed with her for one hour and fifty minutes.</div><div><br /></div><div>10 March. Rasputin had a visit from Evgenia Karlovna Yegeva, who came to request his co-operation in her endeavours to obtain the contract for supplying the troops with underwear to the amount of two million roubles. At approximately one o'clock at night Rasputin received seven or eight men and women, led by Ensign Karpotiny a lad of nineteen, all of whom stayed till three o'clock. The whole company shouted, sang, danced, and stamped about; and, together with Rasputin, left in a drunken condition for an unknown destination.</div><div><br /></div><div>11 March. At 10-15 in the morning Rasputin was overtaken by the watch in the Gorokhovaia Street and followed to No. 8, Poushkinskaia Street to the prostitute Tregoubova, and thence to the baths.</div><div><br /></div><div>12 March. Alexeiev [a government clerk] has brought to Rasputin's flat one bottle of wine.</div><div><br /></div><div>13 March. Miller presented Rasputin with a cap. At 6.50 in the afternoon Rasputin, accompanied by two ladies, set out for No-76, Ekaterinensky Canal to the Savelievs, where he stayed till five o'clock in the morning. He remained in bed all day in an exhausted condition.</div><div><br /></div><div>14 March. Pogan has brought an ikon together with a collection-box, which latter he placed in the anteroom of the flat.</div><div><br /></div><div>25 March. Rasputin has gone to Moscow.</div><div><br /></div><div>26 March. In his absence Varvara Nishchenko came to solicit Rasputin's aid for the release of her uncle, Colonel Jiletzky, who has been called up from the reserve, for which assistance she promised to pay him 2,000 roubles.</div><div><br /></div><div>30 March. Rasputin has returned. He has dispatched two telegrams to Moscow to-day: (I) "Great Gnezdnikovsk Lane No. 10 To Princess Tenishev. I rejoice in the revelation; am tortured by expectation. I kiss my darling." (2) Kozitzky Lane. Bakhroushin's House. To Djanoulove. Beautiful treasure, in spirit I am with you. Kisses."</div><div><br /></div><div>3 April. Rasputin brought a woman with him, who spent the night in his flat.</div><div><br /></div><div>9 April. At 9.45 in the evening Rasputin was followed to 18, Sadovaia Street to a graduate of the Moscow University, Alexei Frolov Filippov, formerly editor of the newspapers Money and The Bourse Gazette, where he was left at two o'clock. It was noticed that a gathering or feast was taking place in the house. Rasputin returned home at 6-30 in the morning.</div><div><br /></div><div>15 April. Rasputin, accompanied by the monk Martian [a bosom friend], visited No. 45 on the Ligovka, the residence of the burgess, Vassily Evgenievitch Pestrikov. In the absence of the latter, they with young Pestrikov and another unknown student arranged a jollification. Some one played the piano; they sang, while Rasputin danced with Pestrikov's parlour-maid.</div><div><br /></div><div>25 April. Rasputin has sent a telegram to the bishop of Tobolsk, Varnava Saw the Chief [the Procurator of the Synod]; refuses owing to the war. He was pleasant, but would not listen to our business."</div><div><br /></div><div>26 April. At approximately ten o'clock in the evening a number of unknown men and women (ten or twelve) began to gather at Rasputin's flat. Among them were: Alexeiev Lissenko, and Rubinstein with a woman. Sounds of playing on a guitar and of dancing were heard; someone was being applauded. The party broke up at two o'clock.</div><div><br /></div><div>27 April. Rumour says that Rasputin was sent for from Tsarskoe-Selo, but as he had not yet recovered from the night before, Volynsky and Baroness Koussova advised him against going, telling him "that he would ruin every-thing." The watch overheard them discussing him among themselves: "Our staretz [holy man] is indulging himself too much these days." Finally they persuaded him to rest for another two hours, and gave orders not to have him disturbed.</div><div><br /></div><div>9 May. Rasputin sent the porter's wife to make an appointment with a masseuse, but she refused to receive him, whereupon Rasputin went to the eighteen-year-old seamstress, Katia, who lives in the same block of houses. "Why do you not come to see me he asked her. She told him that she had no clothes. Come to me in a week's time, I will give you fifty roubles," was his reply.</div><div><br /></div><div>12 May. Rasputin dispatched a telegram to Sabler</div><div><br /></div><div>Dear, beloved, yesterday we had a conversation there with Mamma [the Empress]; we found that it was not so easy to disturb our Master. They hope to arrest the matter."</div><div><br /></div><div>Rasputin brought a prostitute to his flat and locked her up in a room; later in the day she was set free by the servant.</div><div><br /></div><div>13 May. Rasputin sent a telegram to the governor of Tobolsk: "A suspicious man has been living at Pokrovskoe for the last three weeks, he sometimes professes to have come from Moscow, sometimes from elsewhere. Address reply Tsarskoe-Selo, Vyroubova."</div><div><br /></div><div>14 May. At five o'clock in the evening Rasputin went to No. I5, Malaia Dvorianskaia Street to Belkovsky and Tsezareva. At ten o'clock the watch observed the following scene: one of the women present, having crossed the lighted reception-room, went into Belkovsky's bedroom, which was in darkness. A few minutes later she reappeared in a great state of excitement. Hereupon it was noticed that Rasputin, who seems to have heard the turmoil, ran out of the dark room into the hall, snatched his hat and coat and, without putting them on, made for the street. Two men followed him a few paces behind and one of them was heard to say "There he runs," afterwhich they went back into the house. Rasputin in the meantime jumped into a cab and drove standing to the Liteiny Prospect, keeping a sharp look out in order to ascertain whether he was being followed. He stopped the cab in the middle ofthe street, so as to allow all the traffic behind him to pass, then, having regained confidence, returned home.</div><div><br /></div><div>18 May. The engineer Mendel-Neuman has requested Rasputin to intercede with His Majesty on behalf of a man sentenced to imprisonment in a fortress for, a period of eight months for evasion of military service and attempted bribery. Pogan acted as intermediary.</div><div><br /></div><div>19 May. Rasputin told Neuman that his petition had been forwarded to "Him." Dlin, alias Dolina, has appealed to Rasputin to arrange for the naturalisation of the merchant Mandl.</div><div><br /></div><div>26 May. Rasputin and the prostitute Tregoubova came home in Manus' car in an inebriated condition. While saying good-bye, he kissed and fondled Tregoubova passionately. Later he sent the porter's wife to fetch the dressmaker Katia, but she was not at home.</div><div><br /></div><div>1 June. Rasputin has sent two telegrams to Pokrovskoe:</div><div><br /></div><div>(i) "Novykh [his wife]. I am full of sorrow, longing to get home. A misfortune has befallen Annoushka; she will have to undergo an operation, I cannot get away. How are you? Kisses." (2) To the same village, addressed to Shestakov, the head of the combined post and telegraph offices. "Give them two thousand of your own; I shall make them good in three weeks' time."</div><div><br /></div><div>2 June. At one o'clock in the morning Rasputin came home drunk in the company of Manus [a financier] and Kouzminsky [a Lieutenant in the Gvardeisky Equipage]; without going up to his flat, he sent the porter's wife for the masseuse Outina, who lives in the same house, but she could not be found. Then he went himself to flat No. 3 to see the dressmaker Katia. Here he was apparently not allowed to enter, as be came back directly and on the stairs assaulted the porter's wife, asking for kisses. The woman managed to disengage herself and ring up his flat, whereupon Dounia, Rasputin's maid, led him away.</div><div><br /></div><div>14 June. Dobrovolsky [a Councillor] has presented Rasputin with a number of bottles of wine, which were later taken to No. 18 Sadovaia Street to Filippov.</div><div><br /></div><div>15 June. Rasputin has left for his native village, Pokrovskoe. On his way Rasputin spent twenty-four hours in Tiumen, in the monastery of which his friend Martian is Father Superior. The latter gave a dinner in his honour, which was attended by several laymen with their wives. Rasputin was distinctly the worse for drink. According to Father Martian's words, Rasputin alone drank about two quarts of monastery wine.</div><div><br /></div><div>20 June. Rasputin, accompanied by Martian, Patoushinskaia, and Dounia, went to see Striapchev, a man who lives in Tiumen. They drove horses belonging to the monastery and carried with them a packet of fresh cucumbers and half a vedro of wine.</div><div><br /></div><div>24 June. Rasputin received some visitors in his house at Pokrovskoe, during which time he played the gramophone, danced and sang incoherent songs. He told his followers that he had saved from punishment 300 Baptists, who had agreed to pay him one thousand roubles a head, but that so far he had received only five thousand roubles. He also informed them that during his last audience with the Emperor he had succeeded in persuading him to postpone the calling up of the men of the 2nd Category till the autumn, i.e., till after harvest-time. On the occasion when the governor of Tobolsk was passing through Pokrovskoe, Rasputin came to the mooring-station and requested him to remit the fine of fifty roubles, which had been imposed on a peasant of the village for erecting a building on unauthorised ground.</div><div><br /></div><div>25 June. Rasputin told the agents, while walking with them round the village, that he was beloved by three ministers: Goremykin [President of the Council], and Prince Shakhovskoy [Minister of Trade]; the third he declined to name. He said also that he was well acquainted with the Grand Duke Nicolai Nicolaievitch, and that in 1905 the Grand Duke would have granted Russia a constitution, had the times been ripe for it.</div><div><br /></div><div>26 June. One of Rasputin's neighbours was much questioned about him by an unknown woman, who asked to be allowed to spend the night in her house. Natalia, however, would not give her permission and told Rasputin about the episode the next morning... He immediately dispatched the village policeman in search of this woman, but no trace of her could be found. Rasputin was very much alarmed and spent a long time recalling to his mind all his women acquaintances.</div><div><br /></div><div>27 June. Rasputin received a telegram from Tsarskoe Selo: "I am unhappy and bored. Have written. Bless me. Anna."</div><div><br /></div><div>29 June. He dispatched a telegram to Vyroubova; its contents are not known.</div><div><br /></div><div>30 June. The Bishop of Tobolsk, Varnava, and Father Martian paid Rasputin a call; they came from Tiumen by cab. Father Martian brought two half-barrels of wine.</div><div><br /></div><div>Part Two: July 1915 - February 1916</div><div>1 July. An unknown Jew came by steamer to-day from Tiumen to visit Rasputin. He seems to be a manufacturer, living at Perm. He stayed for forty minutes.</div><div><br /></div><div>4 July. Rasputin was again visited by Father Martian, who, accompanied by Rasputin's wife and Dounia, embarked the same day on his way back to Tiumen.</div><div><br /></div><div>5 July. Rasputin went down to the landing-stage to meet an unknown woman, who came from Tiumen. He spoke to her for twenty minutes, after which the woman left for Tobolsk. The same day he was visited by two other women, also from Tiumen, who apparently saw him for the first time. He dispatched two telegrams:</div><div><br /></div><div>Tsarskoe-Selo. Vyroubova. "How are you? Kisses," and to Petrograd; 17 Poushkinskaia,to Dobrovolsky: "Let me know who left on the third."</div><div><br /></div><div>7 July. The Deacon of the village, Kovrigki, paid Rasputin a visit; he kissed Rasputin's hand deferentially. At eight o'clock in the evening Elizaveta Petrovna Solovieva arrived from Petrograd and with her Rasputin's wife and Dounia from Tiumen.</div><div><br /></div><div>9 July. Rasputin received Father Sergey, the newly appointed priest of Pokrovskoe, who also kissed his hands. At eight o'clock in the evening Rasputin left his house,very red in the face, apparently in a slightly inebriated condition, in the company of Solovieva. They mounted a carriage and drove to a distant wood. They came backin an hour's time, Rasputin looking very pale.</div><div><br /></div><div>11 July. The wife of an officer, Patoushinskaia, came from Yaloutorovsk to see Rasputin. Shortly, afterwards Solovieva and Patoushinskaia emerged from the house, leading Rasputin between them, all three interlocked, Rasputin holding Patoushinskaia by the lower part of the body. They played the gramophone throughout the greater part of the day, Rasputin being exceedingly gay, and consuming large quantities of wine and beer.</div><div><br /></div><div>12 July. Solovieva has been recalled to Petrograd by her husband. Rasputin was seen walking up and down his yard, holding Patoushinskaia, in his arms.</div><div><br /></div><div>13 July. After having bathed, Rasputin went to the wife of the local psalm-reader, Yermolai. They had apparently made an appointment, as she was waiting for him at the window. He visits her practically each day with intentions of an intimate nature. On this occasion he stayed with her for half an hour. Patoushinskaia has gone back to Yaloutorovsk, having been recalled by her husband. She took passionate leave of Rasputin covering his face, hands and beard with kisses.</div><div><br /></div><div>14 July. Rasputin has gone to Tobolsk to see Varnava the agents were left behind.</div><div><br /></div><div>15 July. Dobrovolsky and Avchoukhova who is now his wife, have come to stay with Rasputin.</div><div><br /></div><div>17 July. Rasputin has returned from Tobolsk. After lunch Dobrovolskaia played the piano, while the rest of the company sang in chorus. Rasputin clapped his hands and stamped his feet; later he walked about with his arms round Dobrovolskaia, without being in the least perturbed by his daughters' presence. The remainder of the day was spent in the fields, where they played ball, sang and ran races.</div><div><br /></div><div>20 July. Rasputin, accompanied by Dobrovolsky and the latter's wife, paid a visit to Arapov. He left his host's house in a drunken condition and immediately repaired to the psalmreader's wife. On his return home at 5.40 in the afternoon he once more set out in spite of Dounia's endeavours to prevent him... He rudely pushed her aside, telling her "to go to the devil," and, drunk as he was, splashed through the mud without picking his way. While walking along with the agents he discoursed on the war: "Last year, when I was lying in hospital, rumours were beginning to spread of the coming war; I begged the Tsar not to fight. I sent him about twenty telegrams of warning, one a very earnest one, for which I was told I was to be brought up for trial. When, however, the Tsar was informed of this, he said Our domestic affairs are not subject to the law." He discussed also the newly-ordained priest, Father Sergey. The topic was brought up by a chance remark about the religious procession and the Te Deum with the Blessing of the Waters, which had been arranged for the 20th of July and for the purpose of which four buckets of water had been, put ready. On seeing the four buckets of water,the priest declared that he would not read four Te Deums, one for each bucket. A few daring spirits among the congregation suggested that one Te Deum would suffice for the four buckets. When the service was over, Father Sergey would not allow the parishioners to kiss the cross, saying that they could do so after mass. This arbitrary treatment roused the people's indignation, and the priest was finally compelled to concede their rights. It seems that Father Sergey is very imperfectly acquainted with the rites of the church; there is even a rumour that he comes from a Moscow family of merchants and is a nominee of Skvortzov, the editor ofthe magazine Kolokol [The Bell]. In conclusion Rasputin said: "I don't know what to do with Father Sergey." Rasputin receives many telegrams and letters and sendsa great number himself. He no longer gives them to the agents to post.</div><div><br /></div><div>21 July. Rasputin, Dobrovolsky and wife, Deacon Yermolai and wife and his two daughters have gone by steamer to Tiumen and thence to Yaloutorovsk to see the Patoushinskys.</div><div><br /></div><div>22 July. Patoushinskaia met them at the station in a carriage drawn by a pai rof her own horses. She placed Rasputin next to herself and made arrangements forthe others in hired cabs. Her husband met them at the flat. At eight o'clock in the evening Patoushinskaia, Dobrovolsky with his wife and Rasputin's daughters went for a walk in the streets. At approximately ten o'clock (this had apparently been arranged beforehand) Rasputin was seen to jump out of a window on to the veranda, where he was met by Patoushinskaia, who had come out of the back door. They both disappeared into the darkness.</div><div><br /></div><div>23 July. Dobrovolsky and his wife have left for Petrograd. At noon Rasputin, accompanied by his daughters and Patoushinskaia, went into the wood, which encroached upon the outskirts of the town. The watch observed them near the house half an hour later. Rasputin's daughters went indoors, while he himself took Patoushinskaiain to an empty building at the back of the garden, where they stayed for twenty minutes. According to Patoushinskaia's maid, this house was in the old days inhabited by some of the exiled Dekabrists [Decembrists].</div><div><br /></div><div>24 July. Rasputin and his daughters have departed to Tiumen, where he left them on the landing-stage and went to see Father Martian. After the lapse of two and a half hours he reappeared carrying a basket, which to all appearance contained bottles of wine. He went down to the wharf alone and took the next steamer backto Pokrovskoe.</div><div><br /></div><div>27 July. Rasputin and his son drove to the Tiumen railway station, whence he departed for Petrograd. During the journey he and his son dined at one of the wayside stations, sharing a plate between them. Rasputin took the cabbage out of the soup with his fingers and, having placed it in the spoon, conveyed it to his mouth.</div><div><br /></div><div>31 July. At half-past ten they arrived at Petrograd. He was met at the station by Privy Councillor Nicolai Vassilicvitch Soloviev, whose wife had visited Rasputinat Pokrovskoe. They took a cab and drove to Soloviev's residence on the Gorokhovaia, No. 69. 2 August. Rasputin has dispatched two telegrams.</div><div><br /></div><div>"Yaloutorovsk. Patoushinsky. We shall soon meet again. Kisses," and to "Pokrovskoe, Government of Tobolsk. Novykh. I shall soon be back. Kisses."</div><div><br /></div><div>5 August. Rasputin is on his way back to Pokrovskoe. He was seen off by Tatiana Shakhovskaia [Princess Shakhovsky], Baroness Koussova, Miller and Dobrovolsky and his wife, while Vyroubova and von Pistolkors brought him to the station in their car, but did not come on to the platform. During the journey he made the acquaintance of three unknown ladies, who left the train at Kamyshlov. They were met by some staff officers, to whom the ladies pointed out Rasputin. In their conversation they mentioned Gouseva's attempt on Rasputin and said something about a hospital. Having heard the ladies out, a Lieutenant-Colonel who was present turned to another field officer with the words "You see if they had gone with him a little further, the mother would have lost the daughter or vice versa. There is no denying the fact that this individual has hypnotic powers." Before reaching the station at Boui, Rasputin came over to the carriage occupied by the agents who were travelling with him, and began to talk about the war. In his opinion it was progressing very unfavourably and a drastic change was imminent at Petrograd. "Soloviev has been subjected to a very disagreeable reprimand from Samarin for meeting me at Petrograd on the 31st of July. But Samarin will not be Chief Procurator of the Synod for much longer." While speaking, Rasputin was staring hard at thea gents, and then suddenly asked: "Was it you who reported against Soloviev?" The agents replied: "That is not part of our business." "Then who could have done it? The Emperor questioned me in connection with this denunciation and suggested that detectives might have reported against Soloviev. I said to him 'I do not know; perhaps it was done by detectives.' I am going home now, I do not know myself for how long; perhaps for a week, perhaps for longer; it all depends." He finished by saying that he had been to the palace twice and that the Emperor had offered him a private carriage but that he "had refused" "Once, when I was returning from Tsarskoe-Selo to Petrograd about midnight, I saw a detective hiding from me behind a lift. 'I felt quite sorry for him; if I had succeeded in discovering his name,it would have gone badly with him."</div><div><br /></div><div>9 August. At Tiumen, Rasputin paid Martian a call and later went to the landing-stage, where he booked a private cabin and embarked for Pokrovskoe at eleven o'clock. Two hours afterwards he emerged from his cabin, drunk, and joined some soldiers who were on board on their way from Tiumen to Tobolsk. (They were privates ofthe local company of the Convoy, numbering about ten men.) He entered into conversation with them, gave them a present of twenty-five roubles and ordered them to singto him. After having listened for a little while, he retired to his cabin, whence he emerged once more, bringing the soldiers another 100 roubles. The singing became louder. This time Rasputin joined in the chorus. At the end of an hour Rasputin took the whole lot of the soldiers into the 2nd class saloon, intending to treat them to a dinner, but the captain of the ship would not allow the lower ranks to stay in the 2nd-class apartments and ordered them out.</div><div><br /></div><div>A little while later Rasputin joined the soldiers again, arranged them in a circle and, placing himself in the middle, conducted their singing with a great display of hilarity. Having given them another twenty-five roubles, he told the steward to provide them with a dinner at the cost of fifteen roubles. Then he disappeared into his cabin. A few minutes later he was heard to complain of the loss of 3,000 roubles. He was getting steadily more and more drunk, and shortly after dinner instigated a quarrel with a third-class passenger, Razoumovsky, who was travelling from Tiumen. The latter could hardly be restrained from giving Rasputin a thrashing, but fortunately matters were settled without violence. This incident was followed by an altercation with another Tiumen merchant, called Mikhailev. This time the quarrel began in the course of a conversation about the provocative actions of Bishop Varnava. Mikhailev ended the dispute by spitting on the floorand leaving Rasputin. Trouble, however, was not yet over. On meeting the steward, Rasputin accused him of stealing his 3,000 roubles and called him a thief. The steward requested some of the passengers to stand witness for him, and sent acomplaint to the captain, who threatened to have the matter settled at Tobolsk by calling in the police. This episode over, Rasputin went back to his cabin,where he sat down with his head resting on the table. He lay there for a longtime, mumbling to himself, while the passengers on deck gazed at him with admiration. Some of them were heard to say: "Rasputin! long may you live, you holy man!" Others said: "He ought to be shaved or have his beard clipped." The porthole of the cabin was closed at the agents' request. An hour or two before the steamer's arrival at Pokrovskoe, Rasputin fell off the table on to the floor, where he stayed till the ship landed at eight o'clock in the evening. The agents had to ask the captain for two men to help them to remove Rasputin from the cabin, and with some difficulty they eventually succeeded in dragging him to the shore, where his two daughters, Katia and Dounia, were expecting him. He was hoisted on to a cart and taken home to Pokrovskoe in an unconscious condition.</div><div><br /></div><div>10 August. At ten o'clock the following morning Rasputin came out of his house and began questioning the agents about yesterday's happenings, sighing and wondering at having got so drunk, since, according to his own words, he had had only three bottles of vodka. He repeated over and over again: "Ah, my dear fellows, that was an ugly business." Among other things he mentioned that Djounkovsky had been made to resign, expressing the fear that he was, perhaps, attributing his forced retirement to him, Rasputin; he disclaimed all knowledge of him, however, and professed to have had nothing to do with his dismissal. He further said: "Yourgovernor will soon be removed also," and to the question, whether he was referring to Count Adelberg, replied: "No, I don't know his name," and changed the conversation.</div><div><br /></div><div>11 August. Varnava came to Pokrovskoe from Tobolsk, but left the same day for Tiumen.</div><div><br /></div><div>15 August. Martian paid Rasputin a visit to-day.</div><div><br /></div><div>18 August. Avgustin [the Archimandrite] came from Tobolsk, but departed the same day for Tiumen. Patoushinskaia has also visited Rasputin.</div><div><br /></div><div>19 August. Rasputin went to see Deacon Yermolai, who immediately on his arrival left for the church. Rasputin stayed with the Deacon's wife for at least an hour. The priest, Father Nicolai, who had gone to Tobolsk to see Varnava, brought back the news, communicated to him by Varnava, that the governor intended to have Rasputin arrested and imprisoned for three months for objectionable behaviour and drunkenness, but that owing to Varnava's intercession, he had relented. Rasputin, on hearing this, spat vigorously on the ground, saying:</div><div><br /></div><div>"What is the governor to me?"</div><div><br /></div><div>6 September. During a walk with the agents Rasputin said to them "Yes, my dear fellows, my soul is aching with sorrow; I am quite numb with grief. Sometimes I feel better for an hour or two, but it does not last - all the sorrow comes back again." The agents asked: "Why do you feel like that" "Because, you simpletons, the country is in a bad way and because the cursed papers write about me, causing me much annoyance. I shall have to go to law."</div><div><br /></div><div>9 September. When Rasputin went to see his brother Nicolai, who had at the time several other visitors in the house, their father made his appearance. The old man abused his son Grigory with the vilest expressions. Rasputin, in a savage fury, jumped up from the table where he was sitting, pushed his father into the yard, knocked him down and belaboured him with his fists, while the old man yelled: "How dare you, miscreant!" They were separated with difficulty. Examination proved that the father had received a large purple bruise, which completely closed his eye. Having recovered, the indomitable old man again attacked his son, abusing him worse than before; he threatened to tell everybody, that Grigory was an ignorant old fool, who only knew "how to fondle Dounia's [the maid's] soft parts." This time Rasputin had to be held down with force to prevent him from assaulting his father again. They were both exceedingly drunk.</div><div><br /></div><div>Rasputin dispatched two telegrams, one to Tsarskoe Selo and one to the Stavka [General Headquarters].</div><div><br /></div><div>Rasputin took to Tiumen his son, Dmitry, who, as a soldier of the 2nd Category, has been called up for active service. The wife of Staff Captain Patoushinsky came from Yaloutorovsk for the purpose of assisting Rasputin, and succeeded in entering Dmitry into the 7th Company of the Territorials. They all - including Rasputin's wife - put up at the monastry with Father Martian. The watch inferred from Rasputin's behaviour that he was anxious not to be seen in Tiumen; he said to the agent Terekhov: "I have no time to go about, although I have many friends here." But he stayed behind the monastery walls all day long, doing nothing. He walks with a slight limp, the result of having damaged his hip in his fight with old Rasputin.</div><div><br /></div><div>12 September. Rasputin told the agents that he was anxious to go back to Petrograd, but that Vyroubova did not desire his presence.</div><div><br /></div><div>19 September. Rasputin has received a typed letter, dated the 16th September,the contents of which were as follows:</div><div><br /></div><div>"Grigory, our fatherland is in danger; there is talk of concluding a dishonourable peace. The fact that you receive from the Stavka [G.H.Q.] telegrams in cypher proves that you have great influence. Hence we, the chosen ones, ask you to arrange matters so that Ministers should be made responsible before the people and that the State Duma should be convened on the 23rd September of this year, in order that our country may be saved from ruin. If you do not comply with our order, we shall kill you; no mercy will be shown to you; our hand will not shrink as did the hand of Gouseva. Wherever you are, death will follow you. The die has been cast; the lot has fallen on us ten chosen men."</div><div><br /></div><div>24 September. Rasputin left Pokrovskoe for Petrograd, where he arrived on the 28th of September.</div><div><br /></div><div>11 October. Rasputin sent a telegram to Varnava</div><div><br /></div><div>"Remove the spy. Pay the mental hospital at the rate of fifteen roubles, I shall repay Ivan Khlopov. The priests beg your forgiveness.

At eight o'clock in the evening Rasputin was visited by an unknown lady, who, a few moments later, came out in a very agitated condition. The maid caught her up on the stairs, saying: "He wants you to speak to him; he feels lonely. "The lady, who looked greatly disconcerted, refused at first, saying that she would return to-morrow, but finally agreed to go back. She stayed till late.</div><div><br /></div><div>24 October. Rasputin dispatched a telegram: "Ekaterinburg, Bishop Seraphim. I apologise for the trouble; had no success. Everybody is concerned with his own business. Grigory."</div><div><br /></div><div>28 October. Rasputin has given Belianin a letter of recommendation to the Assistant Minister of Justice, Verevkin, who, however, refused to receive it, declaring that its subject-matter referred to a question which only the higher authorities could settle. Thereupon Rasputin promised Belianin his co-operation through Vyroubova. Belianin was appealing against the verdict of the court in connection with a fire which had destroyed the premises of his shop in Vladivostock.</div><div><br /></div><div>31 October. A hired piano has been taken up to Rasputin's flat.</div><div><br /></div><div>3 November. An unknown woman visited Rasputin with a view to soliciting his aid on behalf of her husband, an ensign, who was lying in one of the Petrograd hospitals. She wished him to be kept there. Coming down the stairs she told theporter's wife how strange she thought Rasputin and described her reception. "I was admitted by a girl, who took me into a room, where I waited for Rasputin. I had not met him before. The first thing he said to me was: 'Come with me; undress.'I took my clothes off and followed him through a door, leading into a room to the left. He paid scant attention to my petition, but plucked my face, then my breasts, mumbling all the time: 'Kiss me, I have taken a fancy to you.' When he had written the note I was asking him for, he began bothering me again: 'Kiss me, kiss me; I love you.' In the end he would not give me the note, saying: 'I am angry with you, come tomorrow.' " The agent Terekhov asked the lady whether she intended coming back, but she answered: "No; going to him for assistance means paying money in advance - anything he cares to name. Since I cannot do that, I shall not return."</div><div><br /></div><div>5-6 November. Rasputin went by car to Tsarskoe-Selo and he returned, also by car, on the 6th at 10.15 in the morning with Vyroubova. While leaving the car, he made the sign of the cross over Vyroubova, who then drove away.</div><div><br /></div><div>Later, Rasputin drove to an unknown destination, accompanied by Boberman [a merchant]. They came back at five o'clock, Rasputin being slightly inebriated. He took long and tender leave of Boberman at the door. On his way up to the flat he asked: "Has anybody been to see me?" He was told that two ladies had called. "Were they pretty? - Good; that is what I want." At approximately seven o'clock he left the house, hardly awake. He gave the porter's wife ten roubles on his way out, mumbling to himself something incoherent and banging with his stick.</div><div><br /></div><div>10 November.

An unknown lady came to the house; she questioned the porter's wife, as to when Rasputin was in the habit of going to Tsarskoe-Selo, how frequently he went to church and which was his favourite place of worship. She declined the woman's offer to go up to the flat, saying that she could see Rasputin in the church at Tsarskoe and said that her daughters went to school with those of Rasputin. On perceiving the agents on the stairs, she asked who they were and earnestly begged the porter's wife not to tell them of her inquiries.</div><div><br /></div><div>25 November.

He had most probably spent the night with Varvarova.</div><div><br /></div><div>14 December. At approximately two o'clock at night Rasputin was seen coming out of No. 11 Furstadtskaia Street, the residence of Svechina [wife of a Colonel in the General Staff], accompanied by Maria Markovna Yacininskaia, a woman of twenty-one years of age and the wife of a burgess who lives at No. 104 on the Moika. They went by car in the direction of Novaia Derevnia to the Villa Rode Restaurant, where, however, they were not admitted owing to the lateness of the hour.

In the afternoon he took Rubinstein and two ladies to Tsarskoe-Selo. On the homeward journey he entered into conversation with the agents: "One of you has told someone that I held a lady on my knees.

Neustein, who lives on the same floor, remarked to the agents: "Your patron will soon be appointed to Tsarskoe-Selo to look after the holy lamps there."</div><div><br /></div><div>16 January.

At five o'clock in the morning Rasputin returned home in a cab, accompanied by Dobrovolsky.</div><div><br /></div><div>29 January. A petitioner by the name of Tatarinova told the agents that while Rasputin was interviewing her, he hugged and kissed some young lady who had also come to see him. This behaviour had so outraged her sense of decency that she refused to have anything more to do with him. Rasputin and Filippov went to the Restaurant Donon. Later in the evening they drove to the Alexandro-Nevsky Monastery, after having been joined by Ossipenko.</div><div><br /></div><div>30 January.

The priest of the Moscow Liubianskaia church arrived in order to submit a petition on behalf of an unknown man, who had also come to see Rasputin. This man had every intention of paying Rasputin in advance (the bribe was apparently to be a large one), had the priest not dissuaded him from doing so, by assuring him that any advance payment might be inexpedient. The priest begged Rasputin to interview the Minister of Internal Affairs, Senator Belietzky, in order to insure his assistance, but Rasputin refused to comply with this request, considering a letter of recommendation to be sufficient. On his way out the priest was heard to laugh at Rasputin's illiterate writing.</div><div><br /></div><div>In the evening Rasputin and Haar went to see Knirsha, No. 26, Pesochnaia Street, where a few ladies and gentlemen had assembled.

Rasputin has been absent since yesterday evening. The cab-driver informed the agents that he had brought Rasputin home from the corner of the Officerskaia and Alexeievskaia Streets. Karavia, who had paid Rasputin a visit, said to the agents on leaving: "Although Rasputin is so depressed at times, he never the less does big business.

At 12.40 Haar came, who was accompanied by a lady, called Sophia Mikhailovna; they remained upstairs for an hour and a half. The wife of General Soloviev [Sokolov ?] paid another call together with an unknown lady. At two o'clock a taxi was ordered -its number was observed to be 224 - which Tiomny and Golovina left for an unknown destination; they returned at 3.45 in the same car. Laptinskaia left at three o'clock after an hour's stay. Dobrovolskaia went up to the flatat 3.20. Kisselev, who came at 4.40, was not received. Dobrovolsky appeared sometime later and remained for an hour. Towards the evening Maria Golovina, Laptinskaia and Dounia went out. Berman paid a call, which lasted half an hour. At eight o'clock Tiomny and Dobrovolsky left by cab; according to the coachman they had been out for a drive, without stopping anywhere. Maria Golovina, Laptinskaia and Dounia returned at 8.50 in the evening. Maria Golovina and Dobrovolskaia left at approximately ten o'clock. Fifteen visitors in all had called during the day. Neustein said to-day "All my friends are inquiring whether Tiomny is well there is a rumour that he has had a thrashing from a man called Orlov Denissov on account of some woman."</div><div><br /></div><div>(Signed).

McGowen was furious. His first act of revenge on Susan was to go after her teenage son, Jason Aguillard, </span><span>Susan retained her third husband's name, while Jason retained his Dad's name</span><span>. Officer McGowen blackmailed another teen, Michael Schaeffer, a friend of Jason's at Westfield High School, who had been arrested for drug possession. This boy's job was to entice and frame Jason Aguillard, by talking Jason into buying a stolen gun from him and then McGowen would charge Jason with the very serious felony of gun running,</span></span><span> which could have meant years in prison. Remember boys get tortured and raped in juvenile prisons. McGowen set the date and time to buy the gun at a fast food restaurant parking lot, making sure that other boys were present as witnesses. Immediately there was a problem, Jason made it clear from the beginning that he had no interest in buying a gun, Jason didn't even want to look at it.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>McGowen swept in anyway, arresting Jason for multiple felonies buying a gun and possessing a stolen credit card, which Jason claimed wasn't his and was planted on him. Jason wasn't charged immediately because of conflicting stories from the boys present and pending fingerprint tests for the gun. Jason repeatedly said he didn't want to even touch it. As the gun wasn't found in his possession, another boy, with an extensive criminal record had examined it and showed an interest in buying it. While the DA was deciding whether to charge Jason, Officer McGowen convinced a Republican Conservative Judge to issue a no knock search warrant for Susan and Jason's home. Officer McGowen claimed Susan White had called the mother of the boy who set up the meeting and advised her to get an attorney, that her son might become a target of the bad people associated with this gun sale and gold her to remain silent until she talked to an attorney and the matter was sorted out. McGowen argued that she was witness tampering to protect her son and was a threat to that same witness, reminding the judge that Jason was charged with a very serious felony. The Judge granted the no knock warrant authorizing the entry into Susan White's home. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Which led to McGowen entering Susan White's home with the warrant squad but strangely enough, McGowen waited until after midnight</span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span> </span><span>24 HOURS AFTER THE WARRANT WAS ISSUED, entering by</span><span> breaking down the door, a few seconds after entry, McGowen shot and killed Susan after saying she had a gun, which McGowen said she pointed at him. Jason was arrested in only his underpants. Oddly McGowen lead the way, ignoring procedure to secure the premises first, instead heading directly for her bedroom, where he immediately shot and killed her. Normally, officers systematically take control of and secure a premises in effecting an arrest warrant. There was no reason to wait to serve the warrant, except McGowen hadn't finished his plan for that evening. </span></span></p><p><b style="color: red; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">"One day you'll believe me but by then I'll be dead, and it'll be because Kent McGowen killed me," she'd said."</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXhORGRy7CNide1BPs4IkbkNR1cGZz6xU65FCxva2CKruXcc6gcUHeUEkN9NAdBFWGVT1YGn1QpxDYkLjavqrBZYpfuxwLuPpKzgvudKMLzWH34VgbB97e61PaI1y3VD1_XoQCRubttKBd/" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img data-original-height="600" data-original-width="430" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXhORGRy7CNide1BPs4IkbkNR1cGZz6xU65FCxva2CKruXcc6gcUHeUEkN9NAdBFWGVT1YGn1QpxDYkLjavqrBZYpfuxwLuPpKzgvudKMLzWH34VgbB97e61PaI1y3VD1_XoQCRubttKBd/w287-h400/image.png" width="287" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Susan White and her son</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLmKYiI8_mAVuBYyIIufJymyqJxy9uUGjisy05C0Z_i7avAKy2aEZEP1IBCU-KLKuSz-JWDkdgXz9m9l7YJLQBVmfcRzK52m5kiQrQisrnMfciCQm2xXI83TPfT5J1Y6tlrlL9O0exn3EV/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="592" data-original-width="370" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLmKYiI8_mAVuBYyIIufJymyqJxy9uUGjisy05C0Z_i7avAKy2aEZEP1IBCU-KLKuSz-JWDkdgXz9m9l7YJLQBVmfcRzK52m5kiQrQisrnMfciCQm2xXI83TPfT5J1Y6tlrlL9O0exn3EV/w250-h400/image.png" width="250" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqVCBnuPkMHMdQN4qpjfLVa0hD_qFZrdcM_plNzpeRxPPdiyRQh6ZJwqLkH7__XXgtKYo_kuhNkxmrKOXu3fVAah3zDMqlPua1DqYDDbF3Ljw1C-5iPU0hyw17lsn3K8xrtd2jo3Hawwzd/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1332" data-original-width="865" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqVCBnuPkMHMdQN4qpjfLVa0hD_qFZrdcM_plNzpeRxPPdiyRQh6ZJwqLkH7__XXgtKYo_kuhNkxmrKOXu3fVAah3zDMqlPua1DqYDDbF3Ljw1C-5iPU0hyw17lsn3K8xrtd2jo3Hawwzd/w260-h400/image.png" width="260" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Sheriff's Deputy Kent McGowen</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Nurse Susan White met a few times while Officer McGowen patrolled her suburban Houston neighborhood. Eventually, McGowen asked her out on a date. It didn't take Susan long to decide she wasn't interested. McGowen was bossy and domineering. McGowen kept asking her out, she kept saying she was too busy. McGowen grew angry and plotted revenge, framing her son for serious felonies, which would send him to prison for several years.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">At 12:30 AM on August 25, 1992, 9-1-1 got the following call.
Operator: Do you need a deputy out to your house?
White: They are trying to break into my house, please!
Operator: What's your address?
White: 3407 Amber Forest.
Operator: Who's breaking into your house?
White (crying): I don't know. They say they are detectives, but I have been threatened by one of them.
Operator: How many is there?
White (her voice sounding more frantic, the burglar alarm wailing): I don't know, but puleeze! They just broke in!
Operator: What are they doing?
White: Okay....
Operator: Ma'am?
Meanwhile, appellant contacted his supervisor by radio and told him that Ms. White was not cooperating and sought permission to force down the door. After obtaining such permission, appellant and Deputy Morong ran to the rear door of the residence, joining Deputy Malloy. They decided Deputy Malloy would kick the door open. After kicking the door in, the home burglar alarm started screaming. Susan White was still on the phone with the 911 operator pleading for help when the alarm sounded. Appellant entered the residence first, followed by Deputy Malloy and Deputy Morong. Appellant moved through the residence quickly, heading for Ms. White's bedroom. Appellant testified that he saw Ms. White crossing the bedroom doorway with an unknown object in her hand. He claimed to have yelled “Sheriff's office felony warrant” twice and “Come out where we can see your hands.” After reaching her bedroom, he further testified that he stepped inside the doorway, saw Ms. White facing him with a handgun pointed in his direction. He testified that he ordered her to put the gun down three times. He then aimed his handgun at Ms. White, who was sitting on her bed, and fired three shots. The first shot grazed Ms. White's face and traveled through the side of her nose, the second entered her chest, and the third traveled through her right arm and entered the right side of her chest. McGowen shot to Ms. White's chest was fatal; she died instantly. Immediately following the three shots, appellant looked toward Deputy Malloy and said “You heard me tell her to put the gun down.” Deputy Malloy and Deputy Morong then went to an upstairs bedroom and found Ms. White's teenage son, Jason Aguilard, who was on the telephone with a 911 operator. Officer Morong arrested the boy and placed him inside one of their patrol units.

When that didn't work, he started stopping Jason and writing him multiple tickets, harassing him any way he could.
On the surface, Joseph Kenton McGowen must have seemed like a model candidate for a career in law enforcement. He had been raised in a religious Evangelical, wealthy Texas ranching family. His father, William, owned McGowen Land and Cattle Co. in Hockley, northwest of Houston. At age 18, McGowen married Michelle Morgan, his sweetheart from Lee High School in Houston. The couple have three children: two boys, ages 8 and 10, and a 6-year-old daughter. But beneath the All-American family façade lay a troubled marriage and a dangerous, egotistical, arrogant misogynist. Michelle would claim in her divorce that McGowen constantly cheated on her with many other women and was verbally abusive and threatening to her during their marriage. She eventually remarried him, but the same behavior immediately reappeared.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">There were reports that he was especially contemptuous of other female officers, though he also constantly hit on other female officers, though he never took being turned down well.
"I still live in fear for my daughter's safety," McGowen's ex-mother-in-law explains. "He is extremely vindictive."
McGowen never graduated from high school, obtaining a GED while serving in the Air Force. In the early 1980s, McGowen became a Waller County Sheriff's Department reserve deputy, an unpaid position that is the law enforcement equivalent of a volunteer fireman. Waller County officials claim to have no record of when McGowen was actually hired. In his initial employment with Waller County, McGowen managed to steer clear of controversy. Unlike many law officers who have known McGowen, Howard Lester, who retired as a deputy from Waller County in 1988, has nothing but good things to say about McGowen and his family. The whole family were extremely conservative Republican Evangelical Christians.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #050505;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
In 1985, McGowen joined the Houston Police Department. He became known as a conservative, law and order "christian" police officer. A man who believed women should stay home and do as they were told, they had no business in business, much less being cops. As a result McGowen was not very popular with female officers. McGowen became known for hitting on every good looking female police department employee, taking short cuts, then covering them up, A perfect Blue Wall Officer.</span></span> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">But some people were not impressed, "He was always a problem," says a former desk sergeant at HPD's Westside Command Station, where McGowen was assigned. "The guy was an asshole. If there was a problem with a patrol car, he'd tear the mirror off so he wouldn't have to drive it. I couldn't prove it. But every time he got a car with no air conditioning, something would turn up wrong with it. He was a malingering malcontent with crusader arrogance."</span><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The sergeant recalls one occasion when McGowen informed him that he no longer planned to write traffic tickets. According to the sergeant, a new captain at the command station had ended an unofficial quota that called for each officer to write two tickets daily. One evening the sergeant was dispatched to a scene in southwest Houston where McGowen was trying to resolve an automobile accident involving a driver who spoke only Spanish, had no driver's license or insurance, and had rear-ended a woman's car at a stop sign. McGowen refused to issue the man a ticket.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">"And I asked McGowen, 'Why not?'," says the sergeant.

After 12:30 a.m. Officer Kent McGowen and the other 2 deputies, Michael Malloy and Todd Morong, banged on Susan White's doors/windows, to arrest her. She came to the door, but refused saying McGowen should leave her property, she then called 9-1-1 instead. Meanwhile, McGowen radioed the duty sergeant asking for permission to break into the house. As the back door flew open, the burglar alarm blared, and McGowen -- his gun drawn -- charged inside, heading straight through the laundry room, the kitchen and then down the hallway straight towards Susan White's bedroom.
In his statement Officer McGowen said he stood in the bedroom doorway, pointing his semi-automatic pistol at Susan White and ordered White to drop her gun----White's .25-caliber pistol was found on the bed by McGowen and one of the other two deputies after the shooting. In his statement to investigators and later at his trial, McGowen claimed that White turned and faced him and raised her pistol at him with her right hand. When she did, McGowen says, he fired at her three times. Later he would brag to a jailer that he had shot White first in the head and then twice in the torso -- in reverse order of the method recommended in a federal law enforcement training films. White was taken into the living room where she was pronounced dead by paramedics after efforts to save her life. </span><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;">Several of his fellow officers noticed that McGowen began bragging about the shooting a perpetrator as the ultimate in crime fighting, the equal of arresting Al Capone. He told other officers that he wanted to mount his shell casings on a plaque to memorialize his first kill. When another officer asked him why would he do that? He said that was what officers like those who got Bonnie and Clyde, Dillinger did. But several officers questioned if shooting a mother in her home on a no knock warrant was the best example of heroic law enforcement. </span><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><b>Immediately there is a problem, Officer McGowen claimed Susan White pointed her gun at McGowen in her right hand. Only one problem, Susan White was exclusively left-handed according to her family, friends and everyone that knew her. </b></span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;">On top of that discrepancy, police firearms experts could find no trace of White's fingerprints on the .25-caliber pistol. In the meantime, officers from various law enforcement agencies began to contact investigators with their own stories about McGowen. County Sheriff's Captain C.J. Harper told them of White's fear of McGowen -- a fear that he and others in the department had failed to take seriously, though no record of the complaint was found, as she indicated having done in her 9-1-1 call, unless a sympathetic officer destroyed it.</span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;">McGowen's indictment angered lawyer Bob Thomas, a former Houston police officer who represented McGowen in the first stages of the investigation. At the time of the indictment, Thomas told the Houston Chronicle that the charges against his client were intended to embarrass the department and Sheriff Johnny Klevenhagen. The Blue Wall in the Houston PD rallied to Officer Kent McGowen's defense. </span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;">"It's a big political game," said Bob Thomas, McGowen's attorney. </span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;">According to the jailer, McGowen had boasted that his first shot had hit White in the head. The crime scene investigator testified that claim was consistent with his findings. However, he said, the first shot was not a direct hit. It had first struck a cable television converter box, which stood between the doorway where McGowen stood and Susan sitting up in bed, which then hit White, scraping across the bridge of her nose. If White had been directly facing McGowen, as he had claimed, the bullet would not have taken that path.</span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;">As time progressed investigators were able to determine what had happened that night. Rather than facing McGowen, Susan White had been on the far side of her bed, near her phone. As she hung up the receiver, she turned her head to see McGowen in the bedroom doorway at which point he fired the first bullet, which struck her across the bridge of her nose, then lodged in the headboard. As she fell back across the bed she was struck by the second bullet in the upper chest, then a third that entered the back of her right arm, traveled through the arm and entered her torso.</span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;">You either liked McGowen or detested him.</span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Officer McGowen was not well liked, much less respected. Leroy Michna, McGowen's former boss in Tomball. Michna says he has never seen so many other officers line up to testify against another.</span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">"This is the first time I ever had fear of reprisal for my testimony," Michna says he told the grand jury that indicted McGowen. "I think the boy's crazy. He's very much capable of retaliating against witnesses ... go out there and look at the poor woman who's dead and tell me you don't think he's dangerous to witnesses. If he'd kill her, he'd kill me."</span></div><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">"And I say, 'Well, I think you need to write a ticket.' And he says, 'No, the captain says we don't have to write tickets. As a matter of fact, I don't even carry a ticket book anymore.'"</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">A dispatcher reports that McGowen asked to be assigned to the Houston Galleria "because that's where the pussy is." And McGowen -- who was investigated by internal affairs on allegations of the sexual harassment of a female officer -- then boasted how he practically had his own harem at the Galleria.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">"He got over to the district and was bragging about getting all these women," says the sergeant. "And he said, 'Yeah, I've only had one that made me wear a condom. I finally broke down and wore one. But then it broke, so that taught her.' He didn't think much of women."</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">And the sergeant didn't think much of McGowen. He took his chance to write his true opinion when McGowen resigned from Houston Police Department in 1989. In his report, the sergeant said that the only future law enforcement job that McGowen might be suited for would be one where he could work alone, have few or no responsibilities and kept away from the general public, especially anywhere with women present.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">McGowen reapplied to HPD in 1991, and the sergeant says he was asked to change his exit report to help McGowen, a fellow officer. He refused. One of the contrary, investigators assigned to Susan White's murder says that despite the sergeant's steadfastness McGowen was allowed to take two psychological evaluations when he tried to hire on again at HPD. He failed both. The evaluations -- one conducted by a HPD staff psychiatrist, the other by a doctor at Baylor College of Medicine -- concluded that McGowen had violent tendencies and a disdain of women and minorities, but did get along well with fellow white men.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">"I wrote [the exit report] the way I wrote it because I didn't want him back," says the sergeant. "I felt that he was a danger, that if the city took him back, they'd be leaving themselves wide open for anything that happened. Because I really felt that something might happen. I said, 'Somebody's going to die out here.'"</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">Unfortunately for Susan White, no one at t<span style="font-family: inherit;">he Harris County Sheriff's Department bothered to read the sergeant's report. Or if they did, they didn't care.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another case turned up, a teenage boy was driving through McGowen's apartment complex. McGowen stopped him and said he knew that he was up to something, the boy actually lived in the complex and was dating a girl in McGowen's building. The encounter escalated, McGowen grabbed the boy out of the car and beat the hell out of him, including pulling his gun and pistol whipping him. The boy was in fear of his life. Because of the threats from McGowen, a police officer, the boy never filed charges. </span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In Texas, peace officers must be certified by the state's Commission on Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Education. To be license</span>d by the commission, an applicant must have received 560 hours of law enforcement training. (In contrast, a hairdresser needs 1,500 hours of training for state certification. In the words of one assistant district attorney, "A bad hair day is obviously infinitely more important than whether you are killed by a police officer in Texas.")</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">To keep the license without having to submit to new psychological screening and drug testing, an officer can't go more than six months without holding a commission -- that is, without having a job, paid or unpaid, with a law enforcement agency. Many former officers who have moved on to other careers are able to retain their certifications by becoming reserve officers -- unpaid volunteers -- usually in small cities or counties that can't afford a large number of paid officers.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">In his resignation letter to the HPD, dated December 20, 1988, and effective January 9, 1989, McGowen indicated that his decision was based on his desire to become a full-time student and earn a college degree. Shortly after leaving HPD, however, McGowen applied with the Tomball Police Department to become a volunteer reserve officer, a job that would allow him to keep his state certification. The population of Tomball Texas was 10,753 in 2010 and the starting police salary is about $35,000 a year. while Houston had a population of 2,099,451 and starting police salary is $58,000 a year. According to Kent McGowen, he chose to work for Tomball Texas Police Department. I doubt it.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuzBOizkR07juKDhwtbJma1AV8RAgDbYq-vbv8cli9TIgIN3REzd5hCO8M6U3TVRrB60zosIfgstF-P0OTnZAYBnP0kPkzYTdn5zmzqmCUJPZd1ejpeO8DwNVBucjlSxJVsUA0UhT7xOuM/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="381" data-original-width="610" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuzBOizkR07juKDhwtbJma1AV8RAgDbYq-vbv8cli9TIgIN3REzd5hCO8M6U3TVRrB60zosIfgstF-P0OTnZAYBnP0kPkzYTdn5zmzqmCUJPZd1ejpeO8DwNVBucjlSxJVsUA0UhT7xOuM/w400-h250/image.png" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">McGowen was chosen as the department's representative on the Harris County Organized Crime Task Force. Questions arose in regard to what McGowen charged the task force for mileage, though not official action occurred.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">"He was always working on a big case," says Michna, who had retired as a captain from HPD after 21 years of service. "Whenever you talk to policeman wannabes, they're always working on that big one. 'Got a big one fixing to go down tomorrow.'"</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">Although he was beginning to have his doubts about McGowen, Michna, who is now assistant chief deputy constable for the Precinct 5 constable's office, says there was nothing he could really put his finger on -- that is, until the day McGowen came to the Tomball station to tell Michna there had been a threat on his life.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">"He said he had received a page on his pager, returned the call and the man had threatened to kill him," says Michna, who decided to check out the story. The phone number was still in the beeper, and Michna traced it to an oil field supply company in north Harris County. Michna drove there and started asking questions. A nervous 45-year-old oil field equipment salesman denied any knowledge of the calls. Still, Michna says, he knew there was something strange afoot and asked the salesman to call him later.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">"Turns out this guy calls me back," says Michna, "and he says, 'Look, chief, I don't want to go to the penitentiary. I'm a businessman. McGowen's daddy is a very wealthy man. And he told me that he wants his son out of law enforcement. And he wanted me to call and scare him. And that's what I did for him. Because his daddy promised me a big order."</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">"It was so crazy," says Michna, "that I finally told Kent that I didn't know what was going on in his life, but I knew that he was going to do something that was going to embarrass somebody. And when it happens I do not want the headlines in the paper to say 'Kent McGowen, Tomball police officer.' So I told him I was pulling his commission."</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">During the next year, Michna says he was besieged with calls from McGowen. One day, he says, McGowen would call and claim to have a job with an area law agency. The next day, Michna says, McGowen would call back accusing him of costing him his new job and threatening to get even. After several such calls, Michna had had enough. https://www.houstonpress.com/news/killer-behind-the-badge-6572421 </span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">McGowen lost another job as a reserve deputy after being accused of a civil rights violation complaint, according to the Harris County District Attorney's office after reviewing McGowen's employment records. Despite this in October 1990 McGowen was hired by the Harris County Sheriff's Department.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are two tiers of sheriff's deputies in Harris County: district and contract. District Deputies are regular employees, patrolling public streets and private businesses in their own area within their department's jurisdiction for a particular shift. Contract deputies receive pay from civic associations and provide security for upscale subdivisions with low crime rates. Basically it was the equivalent of a private security guard with a real badge, McGowen was assigned to patrol Olde Oaks, an affluent Houston suburb subdivision in the northwest part of Harris County, by the summer of 1992.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">One person to whom she did turn for support was Helen Bazata. An old friend of White's who was running a modeling agency at the time, Bazata says she and White talked on an almost daily basis. White worked for a finance company but had, with Bazata's help, landed a few modeling assignments. She also enrolled in an acting class.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">White complained to her that a Harris County deputy -- Joseph Kent McGowen -- had once again pulled her over as she drove through the quiet neighborhood in her white convertible BMW.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">"He was hitting on her," says Bazata, "and she just wished he would leave her alone."</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">White had developed a friendship with Ray Valentine, a man 13 years her senior. Valentine says he and White met at Del Friscos Steak House, a FM 1960-area restaurant, where they had dinner together a half-dozen times during a two-month period before she was killed. Sometimes they would be joined at Del Friscos by C.J. Harper, a captain with the sheriff's department, one of the many local law officers Valentine had come to know in his long tenure as producer of the Shrine Circus in Houston and 53 other cities.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then McGowen turned his rage and need for revenge on Susan's son, Jason. McGowen pulled Jason over repeatedly for several traffic violations. After a short period, Susan realized that McGowen was taking out his vendetta against her by persecuting her son.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">"She was scared to death of him," says Valentine. "I thought she was just hysterical about it. But she told me, 'Well, I guess you and everybody else will believe me when he kills me or Jason or both.' And about 12 days later he did."</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">On Sunday, August 23, White and Valentine were again having dinner at Del Friscos when they received a call on Valentine's portable phone. On the other end was Jason's girlfriend, calling to let White know that her son had just been arrested by Deputy McGowen. Valentine drove White to the nearby strip center parking lot of Cliff's Hamburgers along FM 1960, where Jason was being accused of selling a stolen gun to one of McGowen's so-called "confidential informants," another teenager who also happened to be Jason's best friend.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">Valentine says when they arrived on the scene he introduced himself to McGowen and told him that he and White were there to see how they could help.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">"He took his gun and stuck it in my face," Valentine recalls. At that point, according to the testimony of several witnesses at McGowen's murder trial, White, who had apparently been drinking, began shouting obscenities at the deputy. Jason was placed in the back of a patrol car and taken to the sheriff's department's Cypresswood substation, where he was detained for several hours before being transferred to one of the downtown jails. Prosecutors on duty at the jail thought so little of the evidence that they refused to charge Jason with a firearms violation, but they did hold him on two counts of credit card abuse. For much of the next 24 hours Susan White tried to cut through the county red tape to free her son on bond.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">It took her until 9:30 on Monday night to finally get Jason out of jail. She had been in contact by phone with Ray Valentine for much of the day as he drove to Wichita Falls in preparation for an upcoming Shrine Circus. Exhausted and a nervous wreck, White called Valentine for the last time around 11:30 that evening. Valentine says White voiced fears that McGowen would show up at her house. The last thing he remembers her saying was that she had taken two Valiums and was going to go to sleep.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">"I told her that sounded like a damn good idea," he recalls.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Meanwhile, according to Harris County authorities who investigated White's murder, McGowen was outraged when he learned that the weapons charge against Jason had been ignored. The investigators say a revenge-seeking McGowen concocted a tale to obtain a warrant for the arrest of Susan White -- a warrant that accused her of threatening the life of his in-formant. According to trial testimony, McGowen, after several hours of trying, was able to cajole an assistant district attorney into okaying the warrant, and the piece of paper approving the arrest of Susan White was signed by a judge.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">According to trial testimony, McGowen gave the prosecutor the impression that his informant's life was in imminent danger. But rather than immediately arresting White, McGowen went home after obtaining the warrant. The next afternoon, August 24, he returned to work. It was not until after midnight, early on Tuesday the 25th, that McGowen, accompanied by two other deputies, drove to 3407 Amber Forest, ostensibly to finally arrest the woman who he claimed was an IMMEDIATE life and death threat to the teenage boy/informant he used to set up Susan White's son, Jason. </span><span style="color: #050505;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">On March 1994, after six days of testimony, McGowen was convicted of murder. However, prosecutors, not to mention White's family, were shocked when the jury sentenced him to just 15 years in prison. Under Texas law, a defendant sentenced to 15 years or less can remain free on bond while his conviction is appealed. At least one juror in the McGowen trial has said that he and other jurors were unaware of that provision of the law, and if they had known they would have imposed a lengthier sentence.
McGowen's Attorney Clint Greenwood admits that McGowen's defense team "stayed out of the character issue," while maintaining his innocence. "If he wanted to commit a murder," Greenwood says, "he wouldn't have brought along witnesses. If you set out to murder someone, you don't do it with a roomful of witnesses."
Greenwood knew that McGowen would be granted a new trial on appeal, based on the argument that the court denied the defense the right to make on opening statement. He was right. The first trial gave McGowen a 15 year sentence, which was put on hold until his appeals were exhausted, He was allowed out on bail. If he had a sentence over 15 years, he would have remained in jail until his final sentence was resolved. In his first trial, his attorney was not allowed an opening statement. But, as Oscar Wilde said, be careful what you wish for. There is always the awful chance you will get it and then you will be in real trouble.
While the evidence of appellant's guilt was compelling, it was not overwhelming. To the extent that we are able to perform a meaningful harmless error analysis in this case, we have “grave doubts” about the error's effect on the outcome of the trial. Therefore, under Appellate Rule 44.2(b), we do not find the error to be harmless.
Accordingly, we sustain appellant's point of error, reverse the trial court's judgment and remand for a new trial.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">But far more serious complications lie ahead for those involved, White's son Jason Aguillard now lives with his father in Baton Rouge. He has filed a $3 million federal lawsuit against McGowen, the Harris County Sheriff's Department and Sheriff Johnny Klevenhagen. Jason Aguillar is represented by Blair Davis, a former assistant district attorney, who says the department was on notice that McGowen was a rogue cop and should have never hired him.

Genovese was probably the most cold-blooded Mafia Boss since the Mustachio Pete's. Costello retired with his stream of income intact, but turning over his power to Genovese, who then made the biggest mistake in Mafia history. Don Vito Genovese held his coronation in Apalachin NY near Binghampton, (the hometown of Rod Serling), at Mobster Joe Barbara's house. Police figured something big was going on when all the chauffeurs and limousines showed up in town and decided to raid Barbara's home. Mobsters like future boss Carlo Gambino would never forgive Genovese for being arrested there. In retaliation, former bosses Lucky Luciano and Frank Costello are believed to have set Genovese up for the heroin trafficking arrest which put him prison until his death in 1969. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjscn_Uk3SRLr1dx4vW4g7T9UgNiF7PGSOwcR22oqsAPR_ZTfCMgQdlQ6os_LAtab2p6rGV5xfWzaJH5QlCZ21PQI02AVRn576oMwoxdDTLjSt0sgoqvFSiVy2IAc9ZmLnkfLygfs-3jQwP/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="288" data-original-width="512" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjscn_Uk3SRLr1dx4vW4g7T9UgNiF7PGSOwcR22oqsAPR_ZTfCMgQdlQ6os_LAtab2p6rGV5xfWzaJH5QlCZ21PQI02AVRn576oMwoxdDTLjSt0sgoqvFSiVy2IAc9ZmLnkfLygfs-3jQwP/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheEzB-tm4yzhOes10tEYIFYehANITmnt4rsGxqkyGjH_a8ezMjw2ekMNHySsn_KoobGuZjZuzTjNODBX90lOInmNY4KpZNjheQcTgckhZV7DUdCxrssDRisMytcCmZa2oSDEI5EYnZRei3/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="392" data-original-width="564" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheEzB-tm4yzhOes10tEYIFYehANITmnt4rsGxqkyGjH_a8ezMjw2ekMNHySsn_KoobGuZjZuzTjNODBX90lOInmNY4KpZNjheQcTgckhZV7DUdCxrssDRisMytcCmZa2oSDEI5EYnZRei3/w400-h278/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzMvla9KDq1CVIOmI2HZoWgZRH7g4ZOGE7TzJuIvSE8sk2pjGYQr0KF-mwpqOwXL-douG-alZQPRK24PPg_2LPJCip73FU5yLiFAKP5NpNYMu1Ki2SHQkc6Xszz2JGX7OJeBonighmG2rI/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="443" data-original-width="519" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzMvla9KDq1CVIOmI2HZoWgZRH7g4ZOGE7TzJuIvSE8sk2pjGYQr0KF-mwpqOwXL-douG-alZQPRK24PPg_2LPJCip73FU5yLiFAKP5NpNYMu1Ki2SHQkc6Xszz2JGX7OJeBonighmG2rI/w400-h342/image.png" width="400" /></a></div></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">Genovese's coronation as Mafia Boss on November 14, 1957 was supposed to be followed by grilled steaks for everyone. 60 Mafia Bosses, including future boss Carlo Gambino, were arrested by police during the raid.

A clever reporter put an Ace of Spades, the death card, in Joe "The Boss's" hand as a gimmick and grisly joke for his story. Masseria heard rumors that Luciano was getting too powerful, too rich and wasn't totally loyal. Masseria hired Joe Adonis to hit him. Adonis warned Luciano, who invited Masseria to dinner in Coney Island. Immediately before Bugsy Siegel and Albert Anastasia's Murder Incorporated hit team entered, Luciano left to use the bathroom. Bugsy and his crew entered the restaurant and took care of business, April 15, 1931. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVxL_21kMft61w9FJH2l5jgpVDPmzEWpf4Q_TmaTswzniUuDN77-_McCLnBdcg0Bsol8zArUa69-8-fUKmigmULTpjvTm2XYfA4hTqWJzR944-DVo_RXEsnsxQm9scpfjmWTD6ISHY464S/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="730" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVxL_21kMft61w9FJH2l5jgpVDPmzEWpf4Q_TmaTswzniUuDN77-_McCLnBdcg0Bsol8zArUa69-8-fUKmigmULTpjvTm2XYfA4hTqWJzR944-DVo_RXEsnsxQm9scpfjmWTD6ISHY464S/w328-h400/image.png" width="328" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Albert Anastasia the Mafia's Lord High Executioner as head of Murder Incorporated.

Schuster followed Sutton to his hideout, a garage, then contacted police. Long before Andy Warhol invented the term, Schuster had his 15 minutes of fame, appearing on news programs for weeks. One person watching was Murder Incorporated Boss Albert Anastasia. He told associates, after watching Schuster, there was no one lower than a squealer. He ordered 24-year-old Arnold Schuster hit. On March 8, 1952, Arnold Schuster was shot and killed walking home, within yards of his front door. He was shot in his eyes and nuts. The message, as reported by members of the mob, was no real man squeals on other men and wisdom is that you don't see things you weren't meant to see, a la Sgt.

Anastasia's murder of civilian Arnold Schuster, gave Vito Genovese an opening to remove Albert Anastasia, Lucky Luciano and Frank Costello's #1 and most powerful ally. Don Vito Genovese had already sent Vincent Gigante to kill Frank Costello on May 2, 1957. But Gigante only wounded Frank, who quickly recovered. Gigante called out to Costello "This is for you, Frank," as he entered Costello's apartment building lobby at 115 Central Park West, then pulled his gun and fired. But this caused Costello to turn his head to see who was speaking to him, causing the bullet to only graze him. Genovese hit Anastasia at the Park Sheraton Hotel on Central Park, while he was getting his daily shave and haircut on October 25, 1957. Frank Costello announced his retirement shortly after Anastasia's murder, leading to Genovese proclaiming himself Boss of Bosses and planning his coronation and reception at Apalachin NY on November 14, 1957.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqwCJkMUNkOmyPX-7LfrYjn7_Gr6bRBJiMC4vVK6hu7k-HawwwyB9oR25pWmb7S6h-goL5_Qilkr1_sMCNl6k3Mwo5b4NFECL9j_SXY6q-aQpP5eTZs9XRtkMOUtQfZn8RiFbjOF6qmlGx/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="518" data-original-width="346" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqwCJkMUNkOmyPX-7LfrYjn7_Gr6bRBJiMC4vVK6hu7k-HawwwyB9oR25pWmb7S6h-goL5_Qilkr1_sMCNl6k3Mwo5b4NFECL9j_SXY6q-aQpP5eTZs9XRtkMOUtQfZn8RiFbjOF6qmlGx/w267-h400/image.png" width="267" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">For their home in the Majestic Apartments, Costello and his wife, Loretta Geigerman, selected apartment 18F, a nine room, two bedroom, two bathroom, corner apartment facing Central Park, which they rented for $3,900 a month, which would be the equivalent of $36,762 dollars today.

Frank made a decision in the early 1920's to change his name to the Irish Costello so he sounded more American and to protect his parents. Few people know that Lou Costello of Abbott and Costello made the same decision in the 1920's. He was born Louis Cristillo. Lou chose Costello to sound more American adopting the Irish name Costello too to aid his Hollywood and Vaudeville career. <br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>The last of the Mustachio Pete's, Salvatore Maranzano was the man who created the idea of a commission and helped engineer Masseria's murder.

Schultz was every bit as violent as Coll, which brought him to the attention of Special Prosecutor Thomas Dewey, who started his attack on Schultz by arresting and prosecuting Schultz's crew. Schultz swore he was going to kill Dewey before he came for him, the Mafia Commission told him NO! They knew killing a prosecutor or cop, would bring down the wrath of the public. Schultz made it clear, he was going to do it anyway. The Commission approved a hit on the Boss. Dutch decided to have a steak dinner at the Palace Chop House 12 East Park Newark NJ on the evening of October 23, 1935. He never made it home that night. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7H6WyQOEGhtIP6ZRXFibFXhXTU-L9j7Q1nNjCf_avNvniFwayvmpk6RUT9j01oaysNO2a0apyi2PcLmSQsAfpt154wQeLX7tpNH8JAAKYgfuNJeOvFpyOo_n8WfiH_t7kYJyfoGDeGCqQ/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="165" data-original-width="306" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7H6WyQOEGhtIP6ZRXFibFXhXTU-L9j7Q1nNjCf_avNvniFwayvmpk6RUT9j01oaysNO2a0apyi2PcLmSQsAfpt154wQeLX7tpNH8JAAKYgfuNJeOvFpyOo_n8WfiH_t7kYJyfoGDeGCqQ/w400-h216/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOkJNTrqrHnAuzgR8zTqUCXMaA0tYSNv59DCMpUyaX1rVpBSqNXwRZ8vtBXtsyTwnmaFAOgEDEG5lXoFCpifZxcRUbVYTB2y50TyhxzvwaH9Kz7hlZaef3hvE1_XMlSzgKFv52YotTkow3/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="941" data-original-width="1200" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOkJNTrqrHnAuzgR8zTqUCXMaA0tYSNv59DCMpUyaX1rVpBSqNXwRZ8vtBXtsyTwnmaFAOgEDEG5lXoFCpifZxcRUbVYTB2y50TyhxzvwaH9Kz7hlZaef3hvE1_XMlSzgKFv52YotTkow3/w400-h314/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiob9BntFEhhFAChEtH3Pk1kPUWLRt2bBt7Qy2LOWxVpGqDhgrXSZEdTkRcR94PfsXnu3yfYE6g2wcjLp9AfWiBFQGYn27L0DUng3zobnWCoUL6w9FSVrDG1zOOPu4RuLkdd5xy-k-Zolma/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="400" data-original-width="313" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiob9BntFEhhFAChEtH3Pk1kPUWLRt2bBt7Qy2LOWxVpGqDhgrXSZEdTkRcR94PfsXnu3yfYE6g2wcjLp9AfWiBFQGYn27L0DUng3zobnWCoUL6w9FSVrDG1zOOPu4RuLkdd5xy-k-Zolma/w313-h400/image.png" width="313" /></a></div><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Maranzano Mafia soldier and future boss, Tommy Lucchese, was a friend of Luciano and alerted him. On September 10, 1931, Marazano ordered Luciano and Genovese to come to his office at 230 Park Avenue New York Central Building (now, the Helmsley Building). Maranzano's office was located on the 9th Floor, his cover business was called Eagle Building Corporation, a very successful real estate concern. Billionaire Leona Helmsley, the Queen of Mean, owned the building with her husband real estate tycoon Harry Helmsley. She is famous for writing off all of her personal expenses as business expenses, even her dog walker and for saying only the poor pay taxes. The tax dodge worked well for Leona for years until she got caught and then she learned that being vicious, selfish and greedy, then bullying her employees never ends well. Almost no on came to her defense.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span><span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIA0NQF93WQG7xw2O7xt9XqZcoIvyWehf0rBKdFjcRc7HPbd5_xVUpDRjVkA2vkXqMCaL4F7AHzdlt4B1hyphenhyphen4Vyx4Fwkgtv-ZIUDpXBZmhie3KUszb0Uh1u-vKH9wMm820e64hSb0rd2GFJ/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="575" data-original-width="750" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIA0NQF93WQG7xw2O7xt9XqZcoIvyWehf0rBKdFjcRc7HPbd5_xVUpDRjVkA2vkXqMCaL4F7AHzdlt4B1hyphenhyphen4Vyx4Fwkgtv-ZIUDpXBZmhie3KUszb0Uh1u-vKH9wMm820e64hSb0rd2GFJ/" width="313" /></a></div><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiybeLrOH9R5twesMqmnGG26Ha6vSbN7ZjywQZiqlxQdS6NnHfUxbOzR1htOL_vqI6Wik2mkat0so6o8OKsO7AeaohsOTytMKK1_9QpQ3UzWaTwPcY-ETJCeYb0jr4U8gaoHjCCEctIsIMh/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1071" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiybeLrOH9R5twesMqmnGG26Ha6vSbN7ZjywQZiqlxQdS6NnHfUxbOzR1htOL_vqI6Wik2mkat0so6o8OKsO7AeaohsOTytMKK1_9QpQ3UzWaTwPcY-ETJCeYb0jr4U8gaoHjCCEctIsIMh/w210-h400/image.png" width="210" /></a></div><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">Luciano hired Albert Anastasia's Murder Incorporated squad of Jewish Assassins, because they would be unfamiliar to Maranzano, to kill the boss.

A lot of people said the case made no sense. I remember reading the wonderful biography by John Gunther of his son Johnny Gunther, Death Be Not Proud (1949). In it, John recalls his 16-year-old son Johnny said that Dewey FRAMED Luciano. I have always felt exactly the same. Mafia Crime Boss Joe Bonanno, said there was zero chance Luciano would have any connection/involvement in street level pandering and prostitution. He and the other Mafia Bosses knew "Lucky" had been FRAMED by Thomas Dewey. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">When Luciano went to prison in 1936, where he remained until 1946, he turned over power to his pal, Frank Costello. Luciano never believed Don Vito Genovese was anything more than muscle and history was to prove him right. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">Fortunately, Genovese was indicted for murder at almost the same time and fled to Mussolini's Fascist Italy to avoid prosecution. In the final days of WWII, Genovese helped the allies, after years of helping Mussolini, including assassinating a New York Italian newspaper editor who was vehemently anti-fascist and anti-Mussolini. Genovese volunteered to come back to the states to clear his name. Suddenly all the witnesses to his murder case started turning up dead, eventually the case was dismissed. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">After trying to kill Costello and killing Anastasia, Genovese was a marked man. Luciano and Costello wanted revenge:</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br />Luciano allegedly helped pay part of $100,000 to a Puerto Rican drug dealer to falsely implicate Genovese in a drug deal. On July 7, 1958, Genovese was indicted on charges of conspiring to import and sell narcotics. The government's star witness was Nelson Cantellops, a Puerto Rican drug dealer who claimed Genovese met with him. On April 4, 1959, Genovese was convicted in New York of conspiracy to violate federal narcotics laws. On April 17, 1959, Genovese was sentenced to 15 years in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta, where he tried to run his crime family from prison. In his book, Five Families, longtime New York Times organized-crime reporter Selwyn Raab wrote that a number of detectives, lawyers and organized crime experts have questioned the legitimacy of Genovese's conviction. For instance, longtime NYPD detective Ralph Salerno argued that "anyone who understands the protocol and insulation procedures" of the Mafia would find it "almost unbelievable" that a crime boss would be directly involved in a drug operation. <b>Wikipedia</b></span></span></div></div><span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>Anthony Accardo</b> was the boss of the <b>Chicago Outfit</b>, the Mafia in Chicago, and the immediate successor to Al Capone, and the 2nd most powerful mafia chief after the Mafia Capo di Tutti Capi Vincent Gigante/John Gotti/Paul Castellano, who was murdered by Gott in front of Spark Steak House on 12/22/91/Carl Gambino/Vito Genovese/Frank Costello and Lucky Luciano who founded the Commission which governed the Mafia in 1931, after the Castellammarese War, in which Luciano overthrew the "Mustachio Petes"/Old Sicilian Gangsters. Luciano turned the Mafia into a business, a business which only cared about profits and which only kills our own Mafia Members. Accardo outlived them all, retiring in the late 1970's. Accardo owned a house which could have been described as a palace. In the 1960's Accardo became, like Capone, the target of the IRS. So he sold it and bought this much more modest house. </span></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXUtG4tZjIlvnATQpmlHMc7thv1_D1nkYHO67ECXzb2ugqU8gYH6BZJiLT4yYKxTnLy84X-4LZvvp_NE5UCnz9Yd_QFilX___QhZHHIokkl2GOuE2_o_9VvNHwMmvrqL-urjZzlYeUuzO_/s711/chicago+tony+arcardo+house.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="391" data-original-width="711" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXUtG4tZjIlvnATQpmlHMc7thv1_D1nkYHO67ECXzb2ugqU8gYH6BZJiLT4yYKxTnLy84X-4LZvvp_NE5UCnz9Yd_QFilX___QhZHHIokkl2GOuE2_o_9VvNHwMmvrqL-urjZzlYeUuzO_/w400-h220/chicago+tony+arcardo+house.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU2UK8VqhDkweVVRxzcylpkxP_TSwLJ_GjVbflk08aGgOG9WCgAJNzJfs6RqI9EobP1bQ1Elu7j_Liu_5Rv1w2TNi_zWeA5UL7bA9ToOJKvvHJksAOIPiwrgGaDmEwHAYJXWb5NHD49kup/s703/tony+arcardo+burglary+chicago.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="703" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU2UK8VqhDkweVVRxzcylpkxP_TSwLJ_GjVbflk08aGgOG9WCgAJNzJfs6RqI9EobP1bQ1Elu7j_Liu_5Rv1w2TNi_zWeA5UL7bA9ToOJKvvHJksAOIPiwrgGaDmEwHAYJXWb5NHD49kup/w400-h228/tony+arcardo+burglary+chicago.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Then the story took a strange turn: Some jewelry thieves, led by the best safe cracker in the country, John Mendell, broke into a North Clark Street Jeweler, which served Chicago's richest of the rich.

In 1957, Accardo "retired" appearing to turn over power to Sam Giancana, but continued as the ultimate profiteer and authority. Accardo was never happy with Giancana, Giancana was arrested in 1965 and fled to Mexico in 1966, extradited to the US in 1974. Accardo used Giancana as a front man even while he was in exile to take the heat off of the actual leadership, himself included. Accardo finally approved Giancana to be hit on June 19, 1975, when he was murdered while cooking sausages. If you saw Robert DeNiro in Casino, Accardo was the real boss who sent Rosenthal to Las Vegas to run the real Stardust Casino/Tangiers. Frank Rosenthal and muscle Tony Spilotro answered to him personally. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH73aZ97tV-KBo0rqdxZXEQQFLAZrkS1FPtQuslxdDYNlDIxInz1vc3HYAS0qAevGM437uIU6C_5ol5yMh-Aodc0iK5sJmDnBXvRodLvyHnlLHTOVrN0uW2okJp23UlSF6yXFjLnSvhuO3/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="222" data-original-width="324" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH73aZ97tV-KBo0rqdxZXEQQFLAZrkS1FPtQuslxdDYNlDIxInz1vc3HYAS0qAevGM437uIU6C_5ol5yMh-Aodc0iK5sJmDnBXvRodLvyHnlLHTOVrN0uW2okJp23UlSF6yXFjLnSvhuO3/" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">Casino's (1994) real Frank Rosenthal center and Tony Spilotro, right. </div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">A gay boy named Stephen Smith is found dead on a rural South Carolina Road.

The DA's Son Buster was a close friend of the dead boy. One police investigator argued that the scene looked staged. The boy had suffered horrific injuries and yet there were NO evidence of the car, which it was claimed hit him: no broken headlight, no broken turn signal, no car paint, no skid marks etc. The boy had multiple injuries, including a savagely crushed skull, which were more reminiscent of horrific beating by something like a baseball bat, not a car "hit and run". The boy's skull injuries are so extensive, that this investigator questions whether they could be the result of a gunshot wound. Suddenly the investigator is fired by the sheriff, after going to the press questioning the direction of the investigation. Stephen's Mom never buys the hit and run story, feeling like this investigator, that her son was beaten to death and his body staged at the scene.</div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz6_ZHVB2rm1SDnq6EANterLfLCQY4UOJVk2jDML-Pb_Ddm6wATd5A49PLKtUshXHf5XhDtuCmATGvSsCAi8tk_rVjiAahAGnD248Sh5ObUfBtO5h_17DCPv0mpRpIQqXnxxaaekg4NV_D/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz6_ZHVB2rm1SDnq6EANterLfLCQY4UOJVk2jDML-Pb_Ddm6wATd5A49PLKtUshXHf5XhDtuCmATGvSsCAi8tk_rVjiAahAGnD248Sh5ObUfBtO5h_17DCPv0mpRpIQqXnxxaaekg4NV_D/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggf0unrlMKBD4bID_fk6qoN2zazZXSFMm0ctFfmERxzz0lskEjdeMBUCywRmGvtTZ4NG4JIuSb_0FvC-a3daUvGsVBOh5LeEh6_JX28DMvoH_2RkxbRkYrJ5_CVmn3EZ0BcMBvLwRxEDiX/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggf0unrlMKBD4bID_fk6qoN2zazZXSFMm0ctFfmERxzz0lskEjdeMBUCywRmGvtTZ4NG4JIuSb_0FvC-a3daUvGsVBOh5LeEh6_JX28DMvoH_2RkxbRkYrJ5_CVmn3EZ0BcMBvLwRxEDiX/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh7VDTDNPp5MUZ9so1oLuJ4Hlm4__-oDOuQIx8IXikuqnAcmTH_bgGw97bFMI_Tnf9Y7S1m5ipv2sFEFGVK0RmfJ0WMACyeoFw72jUsVJFKeCtDUCMjdCksn0GAH4hyjUZHkaIGh-zpJAK/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh7VDTDNPp5MUZ9so1oLuJ4Hlm4__-oDOuQIx8IXikuqnAcmTH_bgGw97bFMI_Tnf9Y7S1m5ipv2sFEFGVK0RmfJ0WMACyeoFw72jUsVJFKeCtDUCMjdCksn0GAH4hyjUZHkaIGh-zpJAK/w400-h266/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Murdaugh family maid slips, falls and DIES while cleaning the family home, which is extremely unusual on its own.

Hours later, Elkins walked out of prison, having served more than 6 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.</b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">On the night of June 7, 1998, Clarence Elkins’ niece, Brooke, was sleeping at her grandmother’s house. The girl was awakened during the night to hear her grandmother, Judith Johnson screaming. She ran into the dimly lit kitchen and found her grandmother fighting with a man who was raping and beating her; the little girl ran back into her bedroom to hide but the man followed her. At which point she was sexually assaulted and beaten. Her next memory is waking up the next morning to find her grandmother dead. She ran to a neighbor’s house. Republican Police, DA's and Judges have NO problem sending INNOCENT people to prison for crimes they did NOT commit. That way they can close the case and the child rapist can rest easy, they got away with their horrific crime. <a href="https://innocenceproject.org/cases/clarence-elkins/">https://innocenceproject.org/cases/clarence-elkins/</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The neighbor, Earl Mann and his common law wife, Tonia Brasiel, told police that the little girl had told them that her Grandmother's rapist/murderer and her rapist "looked like" her Uncle Clarence. The six-year-old girl was knocked unconscious during the rape/beating and her memory of the incident was a blur. After she woke up the next morning, she ran to her grandmother's neighbor, who told her to wait on the porch of his house.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Brooke then walked to a neighbor's house, the home of Earl Mann's common-law-wife Tonia Brasiel, and knocked on the door. Brasiel came to the door, told the nightgown-clad, bruised and bloody child she was cooking breakfast for her children and told her to wait on the porch until she could call police and drive her home, which she did approximately 45 minutes later.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>Years later, Brooke said she had grave doubts about the identification at the time but went along with it. "I just wasn't sure it was Uncle Clarence or not," Brooke said. "But I was too afraid to say anything". Elkins was arrested on the basis of this identification. She later described the situation on Larry King: "I woke up and I found my grandma dead, I went to a next door neighbor's house and I told her that it looked like my uncle Clarence and it sounded like him. So, she took me home and she told my mom that -- what I told her and then everyone just started freaking out. And then my mom and dad called the police and my mom and dad told the police that it was my uncle Clarence who did it." When asked how the identification could go so wrong, she replied, "Well, I told people that it looked like him and they just went like it was him. They didn't even listen to what I was saying." </span><b>Wikipedia</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Confronted with absolute PROOF, DNA from the two victims' RAPE KITS, that Clarence Elkins was INNOCENT, Summit County Ohio Common Court Republican Judge Judy Hunter denied Elkins' motion for a new trial and REFUSED TO ISSUE a directed acquittal in July 2005. There is NO DEFENSE OR INNOCENT EXPLANATION to a man's sperm being found in a six-year-old girl's vagina, after she had been raped and strangled. This judge's decision meant that the rapist, child molester and murderer could rest easy, no police officers were looking for him, thanks to Republican Judge Judy Hunter and Republican Supreme Court Judges William Rehnquist and Antonin Scalia. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Clarence Elkins DNA PROVED HE WAS NOT THE MAN WHO RAPED THE SIX-YEAR-OLD AND HER GRANDMOTHER. His family asked the REPUBLICAN Judge to consider the fact that denying Clarence's appeal would mean the real rapist, child molester and murderer would get away scot free. She didn't care. After the second failed appeal, the family hired a private investigator, who uncovered relevant information. He discovered that Brasiel's common law husband, Earl Mann, was a convicted sex offender from Florida who had been released from prison just two days before the murder, on June 5, 1998. The court chose to ignore Mann's wife Tonia left Brooke, crying and bleeding, alone on her porch while the family finished breakfast for 45 minutes, odd treatment of a severely beaten and bloody 6-year-old in need of IMMEDIATE medical care, instead of telephoning 911 immediately. It is believed that someone may have tried to coach the child to implicate her uncle as the assailant. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6sNo9ICnbA_1nm2GMUbocsZgA2EMa-ytj-aM3yiFrDJYrtc-vUaEZv_TNWEfvh4lg1jT5Gs-jZndRikjld7Y9pTTvA0a-iZ-Zlu1Xtk7-zsJKYvKcWAC81IWQRRU2kQfpo1XC4Ojv4_R/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1071" data-original-width="1400" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6sNo9ICnbA_1nm2GMUbocsZgA2EMa-ytj-aM3yiFrDJYrtc-vUaEZv_TNWEfvh4lg1jT5Gs-jZndRikjld7Y9pTTvA0a-iZ-Zlu1Xtk7-zsJKYvKcWAC81IWQRRU2kQfpo1XC4Ojv4_R/w400-h306/image.png" width="400" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0000ee; font-size: medium;"><u><br /></u></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Earl Mann left Florida and moved to Ohio in the mid 1990's after he was implicated in criminal activity in Florida. After their appeal was quashed, the detective Clarence's family hired turned up the information about Earl Mann raping his daughters, which led to his prosecution for child rape/molestation. In 2002, Mann was convicted of raping his three girls. Earl Mann was sentenced to the same prison Clarence Elkins was serving time. Clarence was in the same wing of the prison as Mann. At one point, Clarence noted Earl was a smoker who was careless with his cigarette butts. Clarence retrieved one, got it to the INNOCENCE PROJECT, which had taken up his case. While the Republican Ohio judge REFUSED to consider the evidence that the two rape kits DNA proved Clarence Elkins was not the rapist, now they had new evidence. When the INNOCENCE PROJECT ran DNA tests on the cigarette butt, it MATCHED the rape kits, proving Earl was the rapist/murderer.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>It is now believed that, at the behest of Mann, Braziel may have coached the confused six-year-old, she was in shock from a beating and rape, planting the seed for the girl to pick out her uncle as a suspect, saying something like did he look like your uncle.

He knew when and where the family was going on vacation. Turns out, in the days before the murders, Dick Robison had found out that Scolaro had embezzled $60,000 from the advertising agency. Robison gave Scolaro until he got back to pay the money back. Scolaro was broke. Oakland County police found out that Scolaro wore the same size shoe as an unattributed bloody footprint at the cabin. He also wore the same shoe, model and manufacturer, as the murder scene footprint. In his closet, the police found a brand new shoe matching the same model and manufacturer. Friends said Scolaro would buy multiple shoes of the same model and manufacturer, if he liked them, when they went on sale. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit;">When asked to account for his activities on the suspected week of the murder, there were 12 hours for which he could not account. Police asked him to take a lie detector test, which he flunked. After being told that he flunked, he asked for another chance, which he also flunked. A third test, he claimed he had been unnerved because he was suspected. His 3rd lie detector was labeled inconclusive.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #333333;">Oakland County, suburban Detroit Police used the four .22 caliber spent shells found at the cabin murder scene to forensically compared by their ballistic markings to several .22 caliber evidence shells known to have been fired by Scolaro at a family firing range in 1967 at which time Scolaro used his missing .22 caliber ArmaLite rifle #75878. The two sets of shells were found to be an exact match. Although Scolaro claimed to have given this weapon away, a neighbor had told police he had seen the .22 caliber AR-7 rifle in Scolaro's house not long before the Robisons were killed...</span><span style="color: #202122;">During the lengthy murder investigation it was determined by a forensic accountant that more than $60,000 was missing from the two combined businesses of Richard Robison.</span><span style="color: #202122;"> The two Robison businesses had been left in the care of the suspect Scolaro prior to the murders. The two investigating police agencies involved in the case presented their combined </span><i style="color: #202122;">Evidence Case Report</i><span style="color: #202122;"> CR 4114-08-785-66 to the jurisdictional prosecution on December 17, 1969.</span><span style="color: #202122;"> The detailed report implicated Joseph Scolaro as the sole perpetrator of the mass murder crime. In mid-January 1970, Emmet County Republican DA Donald C. Noggle decided not to bring charges against Scolaro at that time, citing the two missing murder weapons and the absence of his fingerprints from the crime scene.</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><b style="color: #333333;">Wikipedia</b></div></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Since Emmet County had jurisdiction and did nothing, finally Oakland County Prosecutors decided to act. Since they believed the crime was planned by Scolaro and was tied to his embezzlement, giving them jurisdiction as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise. Oakland County was days away from filing murder charges. Scolaro committed suicide</span><b> </b>on March 8, 1973, almost five years after the Robison family massacre.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></div></span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">My only question, why did the REPUBLICAN Emmet County DA decline to prosecute Scolaro? Police and prosecutors prosecute cases without any physical evidence all the time. Many people have been convicted using only circumstantial evidence. Opportunity: Scolaro had 12 hours unaccounted for during the time in which the murder was believed to have occurred. Means: bullets from a gun Scolaro was known to have owned and which could be reasonably traced to him from a shooting range he frequented, were matched ballistically with bullets used in the murder. Motive: Scolaro stole $60,000 from his boss and a demand was made to pay it back. Scalaro was broke and couldn't pay it back. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b>New Mexico Republican Governor Susana Martinez spent $100,000's of dollars to keep a 13-year-old Albuquerque boy in a Republican Private for Profit Prison for BURPING in Class</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">A 13-year-old boy was horsing around in a PE Class in Albuquerque New Mexico.

Boys get RAPED AND TORTURED in Juvenile Prisons. At his first juvenile court appearance, the juvenile court judge threw the case out of court and let the boy go free. Gov. Susana Martinez (R-NM) DEMANDED the Republican NM Attorney General take up prosecution of the boy. After losing in court after court, Gov. Susana Martinez (R-NM) appealed all the way to the REPUBLICAN US 10th Circuit, which held that boys can be sent to prison for BURPING in class.

A 12-year-old boy was late coming home from school in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The family lived in a trailer park. Mom became worried after he was a couple of hours late and called 911 for help finding him. Almost immediately after, the boy came home. A friend had a new video game and he got caught up playing it and forgot to call mom and tell her he would be late. To her shock, police showed up minutes later, grabbed the boy and beat the crap out of him, smashing his face against a car trunk, breaking some of his teeth and handcuffing him. The boy was crying and bleeding profusely. The crowd began screaming to take the boy to the hospital, police took him to juvenile prison instead, for committing NO CRIME. His mom is now suing the police department. She said, if you are poor or live in a trailer park, never call police unless someone is dead, they don't care about us. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.theroot.com/police-in-idaho-accused-of-assaulting-12-year-old-boy-w-1790854847">https://www.theroot.com/police-in-idaho-accused-of-assaulting-12-year-old-boy-w-1790854847</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpZeLsedEoVEOWV3t2sVLyzojPGPmOCyvYvfZZERh_WZLUUCfSOn1ELLbtteTb2jyi2WFog18gqwyw3COOiaUSN3ffQYAbpQjWgH2s4IbcpsTBB8ytXLGdKUl0yoCJP8db0k-PbQQ2rk2r/s640/idaho+falls+boy+teeth.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpZeLsedEoVEOWV3t2sVLyzojPGPmOCyvYvfZZERh_WZLUUCfSOn1ELLbtteTb2jyi2WFog18gqwyw3COOiaUSN3ffQYAbpQjWgH2s4IbcpsTBB8ytXLGdKUl0yoCJP8db0k-PbQQ2rk2r/w400-h400/idaho+falls+boy+teeth.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">A couple of years ago, Pennsylvania Republicans began to privatize juvenile prisons. Turns out a company which ran several of them began bribing juvenile court judges to send boys and girls to prison for long sentences, six months and above, for crimes which were rarely even prosecuted before. But it was worse than that, the senior judge in Lucerne County, removed funding for the county publicly funded juvenile prison, which would only have left the <b>REPUBLICAN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT PRISON</b>. Mandating all kids would be sent to the facility. This CEO bribed the juvenile court judges to send as many kids as possible to prison. Boys who ran away from home, argued with a teacher or parent, rode a bike in a closed park after dark, even "crimes" for which a spanking was a more appropriate punishment, like shoplifting a candy bar or stealing a $5 DVD, riding a bike on the sidewalk, arguing with your parents, getting in a fight at school or even creating a phony Myspace or Facebook page, which was used by a student to mock teachers and staff were punished by these bribed judges by being sent to <b>Republican Private for Profit Prison</b> for a minimum six month sentence to a year or more. There seemed to be only one criterion, the boy or girl had to be poor and not be able to afford a lawyer, whether the kid was black or white did not appear to matter. That is until one of the boys committed suicide. Listen to one of the judges who took the bribes and his defense: <a href="https://www.npr.org/2014/03/08/287286626/kids-for-cash-captures-a-juvenile-justice-scandal-from-two-sides">https://www.npr.org/2014/03/08/287286626/kids-for-cash-captures-a-juvenile-justice-scandal-from-two-sides</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Robert Powell, an attorney and co-owner of the two juvenile facilities at the heart of the scandal, pleaded guilty on July 1, 2009, to failing to report a felony and being an accessory to tax evasion conspiracy, in connection with $770,000 in kickbacks he paid to Judges Ciavarella and Conahan in exchange for facilitating the development of his juvenile detention centers.

Mericle had failed to tell a grand jury he had paid $2.1 million to Ciavarella and Conahan as a finder's fee. As part of his plea, Mericle agreed to pay $2.15 million to fund local children's health and welfare programs. Mericle faced up to three years in prison and a $250,000 maximum fine. Mericle was released from federal custody in 2015 after serving a one-year sentence.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Sandra Brulo, the former Deputy Director of Forensic Services for the Luzerne County Juvenile Probation Office, agreed to plead guilty in March 2009 to federal obstruction of justice. Those charges stemmed from actions Brulo took after she became aware she had been named in the federal civil action. Brulo backdated her recommendation of a placement she made concerning a juvenile defendant in September 2007, and changed her original recommendation of placement to probation. <b>Wikipedia</b></span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>On March 26, 2009, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that Judges Ciavarella and Conahan had violated the constitutional rights of thousands of juveniles.

No more releasing violent criminals, juvenile or adult, to make room for status offenders and victimless crimes "criminals", like marijuana smokers. That is what fines are for, the appropriate penalty. Prisons must first and foremost be for violent criminals, financial criminals who prey on the vulnerable and drug dealers, Any doubts? If you listen carefully you can hear the screams of 12/13/14-year-old boys being tortured and raped in Republican Private for Profit Prisons for BURPING in class. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I got into a vicious argument over the internet with someone in England about a spate of muggings using battery acid thrown in the faces of their robbery victims. The person, I don't know if they were Tory, Labor or Liberal, black or white, was adamant, 5 years is too long a prison sentence for the crime. I am a liberal Democrat, but, to me, throwing battery acid in someone's face so that you can rob them is pure vicious cruelty and deserves the most severe penalty available. Your victim could be scared for life, they could be blinded, which is a fate worse than death. Mercy should be reserved for the merciful. On the scale of viciousness, throwing battery acid in someone's face is the ultimate in viciousness, giving some of their victims life sentences. And that should be your penalty, life in prison on a first offense and never getting out, except feet first. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/26/europe/london-acid-attacks-2017-intl/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/26/europe/london-acid-attacks-2017-intl/index.html</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Never forget who the real victims are and their suffering. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv6QRpL7vmRHjNl-9LWiRCDP66rOiXBwWLyJJsAPvkjwZFACQ72-3gmZYFpgelQGbJs9kQGnNBzcXiqng8VAxZfDD19z4wvfAfaAnkW5HhJ0O0HDpHLRUl2HxeOKl0NhyEJ2qCvbiCQfBs/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="355" data-original-width="310" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv6QRpL7vmRHjNl-9LWiRCDP66rOiXBwWLyJJsAPvkjwZFACQ72-3gmZYFpgelQGbJs9kQGnNBzcXiqng8VAxZfDD19z4wvfAfaAnkW5HhJ0O0HDpHLRUl2HxeOKl0NhyEJ2qCvbiCQfBs/w350-h400/image.png" width="350" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div></div>Brian Keith O'Harahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10825703273375439558noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232180857881256504.post-25493637370307408932021-05-07T04:26:00.169-07:002023-03-01T06:26:02.295-08:00Jeremy Bright, the 14-year-old Boy Who Disappeared from the Oregon State Fair and the Disappearance of Andrew Gosden in the UK <p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUhFK7j6Q1biMfqRW_ajNvJ1Cbg-yBBu3kQE9TfYzWTvewDHkxUAAk-npoP2WU8AlUec67DSiptfRyWs7mu-FQxHyGr4T-dXKRKM19I581lCnnPx7ZTnL4sFk9Clsi4dXAwA2Wz9y0xSY1/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="619" data-original-width="415" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUhFK7j6Q1biMfqRW_ajNvJ1Cbg-yBBu3kQE9TfYzWTvewDHkxUAAk-npoP2WU8AlUec67DSiptfRyWs7mu-FQxHyGr4T-dXKRKM19I581lCnnPx7ZTnL4sFk9Clsi4dXAwA2Wz9y0xSY1/w268-h400/image.png" width="268" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrQMWY1g0rAKASrMxBmYY9KT8TKdggJbJz_IMqhU_jIXXENmFoaoe0jxktlfy2U73fI0iLkRpbceKVoS0rYmZ1cDbWYPlQIrqXNlpU_pQzhq4WtL6ZboWuEt5qNYF8qcqJbnFw_vi5jiM1/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="646" data-original-width="1024" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrQMWY1g0rAKASrMxBmYY9KT8TKdggJbJz_IMqhU_jIXXENmFoaoe0jxktlfy2U73fI0iLkRpbceKVoS0rYmZ1cDbWYPlQIrqXNlpU_pQzhq4WtL6ZboWuEt5qNYF8qcqJbnFw_vi5jiM1/w400-h253/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Myrtle Point, Oregon</div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Jeremy Doland Bright was a 14-year-old Oregon boy whose mom and stepdad, Ollie, got divorced, after which his mom moved from Myrtle Point, which was about 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean to Grants Pass, Oregon, 111.9 miles away in the center of the state. Jeremy was described as a happy, good kid. He was an athlete, enjoying a degree of success as a basketball player on his school team. He also had an artistic flair, enjoying drawing and sketching. Jeremy was over 6' tall at age 14 and had a size 13 shoe. Both parents were still on good terms, so Jeremy asked his mom to let him and nine-year-old sister go to the Coos County State Fair in Myrtle Point, so they could visit their friends, family and their stepdad. Mom said yes. Jeremy and his sister arrived at the fair with friends at 2 PM, then split up but promised to roundez-vous at 5 PM by the Ferris Wheel, Jeremy never showed up. At some point he ran into a friend from school named Johnny, but later the two had became separated waiting to get on one of the rides, losing touch, before 4:30 PM. Everyone agrees Jeremy was a good kid, who got in no more trouble than any other kid would. And he didn't hang around with the wrong crowd. </span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU39FCH852tyaF8IV1M-r1w9FuAVt0pfuVCp9FRNxDnWrsf6CAXsQq0UeZY35aGrTFSfFTqjed5Bnyy2xxGYhNOvU4BFnTygiih_oEhenUgXE1Yq8jDiw_1ggtpDgMp17_UpPTqxqc045_/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="456" data-original-width="415" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU39FCH852tyaF8IV1M-r1w9FuAVt0pfuVCp9FRNxDnWrsf6CAXsQq0UeZY35aGrTFSfFTqjed5Bnyy2xxGYhNOvU4BFnTygiih_oEhenUgXE1Yq8jDiw_1ggtpDgMp17_UpPTqxqc045_/w363-h400/image.png" width="363" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio9rrmlIRwoZCOIak37GtQqoNJk85U3tDNvBF7nui5rgyYzaiNat2Mphb2SaX4KEJGJOYqRQFfwUH9N6M1cCCJknGiE-k4Ry1-Lz0HxxkVkCOgYfZ9oIU6XaWWF0hmJ3EYSj5YPEluPizl/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="647" data-original-width="510" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio9rrmlIRwoZCOIak37GtQqoNJk85U3tDNvBF7nui5rgyYzaiNat2Mphb2SaX4KEJGJOYqRQFfwUH9N6M1cCCJknGiE-k4Ry1-Lz0HxxkVkCOgYfZ9oIU6XaWWF0hmJ3EYSj5YPEluPizl/w315-h400/image.png" width="315" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGHeGzkZVhNwAewFbBV0OCdEm9GF6KZI9D8QK3CCmNVhyphenhyphenYqK9kcxD0dSIHO4sARfqM_lmdqcDvqlDXc1jJxCUnIAnZlPyyhcMgFaaa2195AQ7tV5O4P3pI4uLaXXsf87GczagDNuE2kjn5/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="556" data-original-width="729" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGHeGzkZVhNwAewFbBV0OCdEm9GF6KZI9D8QK3CCmNVhyphenhyphenYqK9kcxD0dSIHO4sARfqM_lmdqcDvqlDXc1jJxCUnIAnZlPyyhcMgFaaa2195AQ7tV5O4P3pI4uLaXXsf87GczagDNuE2kjn5/w400-h305/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWijJmLAvfXyRyrquHCk5-94MV6S833ZJfB-00CKfZ_iZvSeiePh4sH0L17J0JQijC3upU130TDQ2M7_9NekNf__ZOpnzZ66FbJLQ0Ei4w-ROVFDqxSzzM-QiDrkiG-9TywyHFBhb-NDM2/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="893" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWijJmLAvfXyRyrquHCk5-94MV6S833ZJfB-00CKfZ_iZvSeiePh4sH0L17J0JQijC3upU130TDQ2M7_9NekNf__ZOpnzZ66FbJLQ0Ei4w-ROVFDqxSzzM-QiDrkiG-9TywyHFBhb-NDM2/w348-h400/image.png" width="348" /></a></div><br /><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Detectives did an investigation of Jeremy and his life. Though he didn't want to move away from Myrtle Point, he had already made friends in his new neighborhood and seemed reasonably happy, with no signs of depression. He kept in touch with old friends by phone and maintained a good relationship with his stepdad, who loved Jeremy and his sister. He adored his mom and sister. Jeremy called his Mom from the fair and said he was having the time of his life. A decisive factor in determining foul play, was the fact that he promised to roundez-vous with his sister and never showed up. She was almost 10 and he had responsibility for getting her home. He looked upon taking care of her very seriously, he was also very protective of her and would have never left her alone at the fair or broken his word to her, if he had any say in the matter. On top of that, he would never let his mom down unless it was as the result of circumstance beyond his control. One report is that Jeremy came by his stepdad's bar in Myrtle Point and borrowed money. These arguments weigh against Jeremy running away, committing suicide or any other voluntary act on his part. He never came to get her, because he wasn't able to.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJsOqd68IyOKJKv4AkGKogRYoisK2GjFxD1sOBJALsg8jf9BNkoUz6bsce_vpUqduPm1PR3HpCRnIz7sHv5o2BJgH3TL1vBxSTT4g4PCRS9YRNhuinbp2Ve5dJafoZl24vdooDGwHPYRo5/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="318" data-original-width="220" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJsOqd68IyOKJKv4AkGKogRYoisK2GjFxD1sOBJALsg8jf9BNkoUz6bsce_vpUqduPm1PR3HpCRnIz7sHv5o2BJgH3TL1vBxSTT4g4PCRS9YRNhuinbp2Ve5dJafoZl24vdooDGwHPYRo5/w277-h400/image.png" width="277" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy65sQRP958tXhHsk_jOP_DWY6vSD9FdCBCkm2dU4BjKQKTRa8sNZlLM7KwtY5TdZt8ED0xO0qAwZBDdpOYYvgNceO_JhKHTJuttz8nUmNzxA4znp5lEFPqaLgcHY10dlvW40gDf8rSYmm/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="200" data-original-width="370" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy65sQRP958tXhHsk_jOP_DWY6vSD9FdCBCkm2dU4BjKQKTRa8sNZlLM7KwtY5TdZt8ED0xO0qAwZBDdpOYYvgNceO_JhKHTJuttz8nUmNzxA4znp5lEFPqaLgcHY10dlvW40gDf8rSYmm/w400-h216/image.png" width="400" /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">There was a report that Jeremy Bright was seen driving away from the fair in the passenger's seat of former neighbor Terry Lee Steinhoff's truck. Steinhoff was in his 20's and had babysat Jeremy and his younger sister when they lived in Myrtle Point. Separate witness reports indicate that Jeremy may have been the boy seen in a minor physical altercation with a young man in his 20's late in the afternoon on that day. This boy appeared to have been forced into a truck, which then left the fair. Originally, witnesses discounted it as no more than a boy who didn't want to leave the fair and go home, an older "brother" may have used force to make him go home. In January 1989, a week after the case was featured on Robert Stack's Unsolved Mysteries, Steinhoff was charged in the stabbing death of 32-year-old Patricia Morris and police considered Steinhoff a potential suspect in Bright's disappearance and possible murder. Steinhoff died in prison in 2007 of a heroin overdose. It should also be noted: <b>four of Jeremy's friends who lived in Myrtle Point were killed in a traffic accident in 1988.</b></span><br /><div><span style="color: #202122; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #202122; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfbjcJI5v9zrVyve5CiCe_S9WdF87epx7K4bXPHycZSkke3wXCBqSCiIvTkmiOocvGrJirIAMS15Cnsqg5UZoRgxXmcZNrG-_4YwTjEmjLdVm-vEYTSyDsnPe4HPWPBHsC9Su0AVxM8vZV/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="507" data-original-width="740" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfbjcJI5v9zrVyve5CiCe_S9WdF87epx7K4bXPHycZSkke3wXCBqSCiIvTkmiOocvGrJirIAMS15Cnsqg5UZoRgxXmcZNrG-_4YwTjEmjLdVm-vEYTSyDsnPe4HPWPBHsC9Su0AVxM8vZV/" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYCE-MEUCFPuZJNKrME8oMObfaxybc3C2XAh30n3C1WVyvmU5YnGsB0BoPHuqm-oqXfUJkb7KOmgjogUGSRT7h72kjd5SNzFh-FuBOwEW1FhyphenhyphenAHV04vKYr6zQwc5_FVmVooTRzyJw5tm-8/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="239" data-original-width="180" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYCE-MEUCFPuZJNKrME8oMObfaxybc3C2XAh30n3C1WVyvmU5YnGsB0BoPHuqm-oqXfUJkb7KOmgjogUGSRT7h72kjd5SNzFh-FuBOwEW1FhyphenhyphenAHV04vKYr6zQwc5_FVmVooTRzyJw5tm-8/" width="181" /></a></div><br />Terry Steinhoff under arrest for the stabbing murder of a 32-year-old mother of two, Patricia Morris in Coos Bay Oregon in 1989.

Their departure gave birth to several rumors, including one that Jeremy had been kidnapped and became a sex slave. Police checked the fair troupe at its next stop and no sign of Jeremy was found. Also none of the troupe were missing or unaccounted for. Other stories, with almost all with NO foundation began to swirl about Jeremy's disappearance. While the fair was in town, Myrtle Point took on a Mardi Gras atmosphere. Police received one report that Jeremy attended one of these parties and was offered a "Mickey Finn" beer which had been laced with a powerful, illegal drug. One investigator was able to find witnesses that placed Jeremy at two parties that week, and it is possible that he died accidentally from an overdose at one. It was also possible that he had a heart murmur which caused his death. A jailhouse stoolie reported to jail personnel that three local teenagers showed up and harassed Jeremy and a few of his friends while they were swimming in a local lake. One apparently had a gun and began shooting at him for "target practice". According to the source, he was then shot and seriously wounded. The teenagers took him to a local cabin in an attempt to nurse him back to help. However, he later died from his wounds, according to the source. Then, the teenagers buried Jeremy's body in the woods near the cabin. Authorities searched the surrounding area, but found nothing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvdMGBO91TxvPZDplIfWF_dpIrSKb1IS1PQ-G4OQIdeenYwc4ngNYJKK0GXayW3JjmE7xvvobUbm3VS2KNJqxDihXUZYz6QnPdBcmpAOODtf1zQOxPxihr08rChOCxHX0b8INxbjPaseM/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="493" data-original-width="740" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvdMGBO91TxvPZDplIfWF_dpIrSKb1IS1PQ-G4OQIdeenYwc4ngNYJKK0GXayW3JjmE7xvvobUbm3VS2KNJqxDihXUZYz6QnPdBcmpAOODtf1zQOxPxihr08rChOCxHX0b8INxbjPaseM/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then authorities also talked to another informant.

Lee Bailey, Dorothy Kilgallen, reporter and "What's My Line" Game Show panel member, told Bailey that the judge in Sheppard's case repeatedly said how much he would enjoy sending Sheppard to prison, before the trial. He and the police chief were quoted as saying they knew Dr. Sheppard was guilty because he was having an affair, not because of any evidence in the case. In fact, police DELIBERATELY covered up the fact that they discovered early in the investigation that the storm cellar door had been pried open. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">F. Lee Bailey took the Appeal to the US Supreme Court in 1964. They ruled that the judges allowing a madhouse, a press circus, where jurors were interviewed during the trial and asked prejudicial questions. A retrial in 1966, led to a verdict of NOT GUILTY. But the damage was done, Dr. Sam Sheppard's life had been destroyed. Though he would later make a career of defending the guilty, F. Lee Bailey admitted defending Dr. Sam Sheppard was his finest effort, getting an innocent man out of prison. By 1966, many people considered Bailey America's finest defense lawyer. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfebXjgQIDUjUsCLVyHOSpQLWjnEFpsDqDOm1OC8mVGHbgq7sCuExf3lJrcO6oh6x3EMv38RTw1_SX_4Crysd2t3R3Qt6nIn1SD40B08FRpHyxKJsk_6bkHzf4TpDgoDNjt3sCPcQ9obdd/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1200" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfebXjgQIDUjUsCLVyHOSpQLWjnEFpsDqDOm1OC8mVGHbgq7sCuExf3lJrcO6oh6x3EMv38RTw1_SX_4Crysd2t3R3Qt6nIn1SD40B08FRpHyxKJsk_6bkHzf4TpDgoDNjt3sCPcQ9obdd/w400-h210/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikLA3xfy7Kc9i2AR3hZ3ABUGKZVJUhsmWiKQZmidtnIIcDzebpzrNZQnP1Xc8mMbsMfRHO6keVpqUYtgj9fkS7NPmgdF01HsLETYj9UAl1z1Zw6P4OKU5-vzbwSisIear_WGb8RoW4cMIQ/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="512" data-original-width="768" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikLA3xfy7Kc9i2AR3hZ3ABUGKZVJUhsmWiKQZmidtnIIcDzebpzrNZQnP1Xc8mMbsMfRHO6keVpqUYtgj9fkS7NPmgdF01HsLETYj9UAl1z1Zw6P4OKU5-vzbwSisIear_WGb8RoW4cMIQ/w400-h266/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />After they divorced, Dr. Sam would try wrestling to make a living, He became an alcoholic and would be dead by 1970. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Many of F.

Eberling became friends with elderly Ethel Mae Durkin after doing some handyman repairs to her home, eventually becoming her guardian and home healthcare attendant. On November 15, 1983 police were called to Durkin's home where paramedics found her face down on a hardwood floor. Eberling claimed that she had gotten up from her chair and fallen. Eberling told the EMS team that he thought it was a heart attack, but her vital signs, combined with wounds to her face lead medical professions to think she had been attacked. On January 3, 1984, X-rays revealed that Durkin's neck had been broken.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Durkin death was ruled -- without an autopsy -- an accidental fall. Her relatives were shocked to learn she had left 70 percent of her $1.5 million estate to "Dearest Richard, a gentleman who was to me the son I always wished for."</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Cleveland Plain Dealer</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>During the investigation which followed, it was determined Eberling had forged a power of attorney and stolen over $100,000 from the widow. In examining medical files, it was also found that Mrs. Durkin suffered a series of serious injuries while in Eberling's charge. The investigators determined Eberling had lobbied doctors to prescribe a large amount of sleeping pills for her. Friends describe Mrs. Durkin almost always unavailable to visitors because she was asleep. Mrs. Durkin "will" had left Eberling the largest bequest, but she also left other bequests. It was later determined that this will was a forgery and Eberling was originally set only to get a much more moderate bequest. Mrs. Durkin also left instructions that she wanted to be buried in her mink stole and expensive jewelry. Funeral home employees noted that after </span><span>Eberling was left alone with the body, Mrs. Durkin's mink and jewelry had been removed. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">It is now believed that Richard Eberling may have murdered five people during his long criminal career which ended in an Ohio prison, where he died July 25, 1998. </span></p><p><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>Who Was Richard Eberling?</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>Richard Lenardic's unwed mother was a menial laborer, who turned him over to Cuyahoga County Ohio Welfare Department after his birth, abandoning him. This occurred less than a month after the Stock Market Crash of 1929, beginning the Great Depression. Richard Lenardic grew up in a series of foster homes around Cleveland Ohio. Eberling was moved from one family to another because he was a troubled child who stole and lied constantly. </span><span> </span><span>One of the families which took him as a foster child was named Eberling.</span><span> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">In 1946, when he was 16, Richard Lenardic wanted to change his name to Eberling, the surname of his foster family. George Eberling, the head of the family, rejected the idea and barred him from doing so. Shortly after this, George Eberling died. Police at the time concluded he had taken the wrong medication, but the Sheppard estate contends the Richard Eberling POISONED George Eberling. They believe this was the first of many possible, at least 5 murders linked to Eberling. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Eberling made a rather remarkable recovery from his association with the Marilyn Sheppard Murder. He was later catapulted into Cleveland's social elite. Cleveland's Republican mayor, Ralph Perk, hired Eberling's partner, Obie Henderson, as a personal assistant. Though Obie's relationship with the mayor, Eberling succeeded in convincing the mayor's wife that she should hire him to decorate her home. Soon Eberling's interior decorating business took off, and he began hosting elaborate parties and landing ever richer clients. The Republican Mayor even helped Eberling to get a very lucrative contract in 1973 to restore Cleveland's historic City Hall. By 1977, however, his arrogance had made enemies, and he was fired by new DEMOCRAT Cleveland Mayor and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich. <a href="https://www.famous-trials.com/sam-sheppard/10-evidence/">https://www.famous-trials.com/sam-sheppard/10-evidence/</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Eberling volunteered that he cut himself and the blood drops found on the stairway to the 2nd story of the Shephard home were probably his. He also explained while cutting wire, metal and glass he got cuts on his hands. He recalled it happening specifically the last time he worked at their home. It was later determined that the blood did not belong to Sam, Marilyn or Reese who all had type O Blood, while the mysterious unaccounted for Blood was Type A Blood. Richard Eberling had type A Blood.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Eberling was confronted with the fact that NONE of his handyman duties ever dealt with the Sheppard home 2nd story, which he was not authorized to access. He then countered that he may have gone upstairs looking for a band-aid. But the odd thing was Marilyn and Sam Shephard were home and available while Eberling was there and he never mentioned it to them, according to Dr. Shephard. A later investigation of another burglary/robbery during his handyman duties, turned up a couple of Marilyn Sheppard's rings, he confessed he stole them, but before Marilyn's murder. </span></p><p><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>August 19, 1998: Robert Lee Parks, an inmate at the Oriental Correctional Institution, says that shortly before he died, Eberling confessed to Marilyn Sheppard's murder.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Dr. Sam Sheppard was a focused, aloof do<span>ctor, who found making friends difficult. When he died April 6, 1970, he was an alcoholic still proclaiming his innocence.

After notifying the sheriff, a search team of more than 200 volunteers, expert search and rescue team members, including search dogs, searched into Sunday night for Garrett. Their search turned up one of Garrett's Nike socks in a boulder field about 1/2 mile away from their campsite and a 1/4 of a mile from the lake.

These attacks resulted in the deaths of two different women by two different grizzly bears. There had been no bear attacks in Glacier National Park going back to 1912.

Both bears were in pain, they had serious, infected injuries. Being this close to the lodge had made them less scared of humans than they should have been. Normally bears attack only when they are starving or when there is a threat to one of their cubs. One bear had glass in her jaw from eating garbage at the lodge garbage dump. Since it was August, the bears were eating ravenously so they would build a layer of fat and be prepared for hibernation. Only problem, 1967 was a year plagued by drought, food, berries specifically, was scarce and most bears in the park were hungry. Normally they would occasionally drop by the lodge garbage dump, but this year several bears remained in the area almost continuously. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW6dw0cs3bNuKATxM0ta7XXf-eZkKm_gEudL77yqUbDcVDVJXlaTkU8OMbWTQwdPI6vNGNFl_l4buAHkbBxqzkOqATrPGoXzFpQd_t5Wj0yoE7UUtPA78fPiVjIyTQ6_nExKMgnItneAke/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="725" data-original-width="1071" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW6dw0cs3bNuKATxM0ta7XXf-eZkKm_gEudL77yqUbDcVDVJXlaTkU8OMbWTQwdPI6vNGNFl_l4buAHkbBxqzkOqATrPGoXzFpQd_t5Wj0yoE7UUtPA78fPiVjIyTQ6_nExKMgnItneAke/w400-h271/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One set of campers were on the lake near a bunch of wild berries.

The US Park Service instituted a policy of burning all the refuse from the lodge from this point forward. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Occasionally someone disappears in Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia it can be traced to an alligator or crocodile attack, but are limited to warm climates and water. Utah does not qualify. Animal attacks by other species, like bears and mountain lions, are normally obvious and leave obvious clues. No evidence of any animal attack was found anywhere near the Boy Scout Camp to account for Garrett Bardsley's disappearance. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIBblxvCO2LLwdInGvTTML88ezn7QHYvP-ZoZ0TyRBuSKvTbLjbGhNMUxT-9gdYrBFB0d_Grz94f15n3c24pFgtMUbcy163BBCNkLBsXERxrUNqk0GxlyCWcNkWt-LP2xXPo8WNwnAl018/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="385" data-original-width="602" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIBblxvCO2LLwdInGvTTML88ezn7QHYvP-ZoZ0TyRBuSKvTbLjbGhNMUxT-9gdYrBFB0d_Grz94f15n3c24pFgtMUbcy163BBCNkLBsXERxrUNqk0GxlyCWcNkWt-LP2xXPo8WNwnAl018/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/deadly-grizzly-bear-attacks-changed-national-park-service-forever-180964462/ </div></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>The boulder field where Garrett's sock was found.

A photo of the boulder field where Garrett's Nike sock found. While we may never know what happened to Garrett, a recent case of two teenage girls, provokes another theory. Could Garett have been kidnapped? That is a definite possibility, if the boy was removed from the scene by someone familiar with the area, finding him would be next to impossible, even for experienced search parties. If Garrett had been taken by someone familiar with the area, going to a specific place or cabin in the mountains far from the campsite, police and searchers, may not have found him. At least as long as they believed Garrett was on his own and had simply gotten lost or became the victim of an accident. A stranger abduction makes it a much different situation.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2IdxzleNwGHLt-RuC03iXEqXLknHiuiwr4Z7BHMv-JtsA7p3d8IDiP5NDENhBoHl6_qKl_3oIgpOh9NAYWXFRck-coKYbp_E4zuSs3Dg2tmq30vvgZbSDOLFrgx3i6wdNzspju7g-qtRa/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="604" data-original-width="431" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2IdxzleNwGHLt-RuC03iXEqXLknHiuiwr4Z7BHMv-JtsA7p3d8IDiP5NDENhBoHl6_qKl_3oIgpOh9NAYWXFRck-coKYbp_E4zuSs3Dg2tmq30vvgZbSDOLFrgx3i6wdNzspju7g-qtRa/w285-h400/image.png" width="285" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><b>Whatever happened to Garrett is illogical as to any theory of an accident. The lake, the field of boulders and the mountains were a landmark/point of reference from both his camp and from the lake for Garrett, his father, Scout Staff and the other Scouts. Garrett could NOT possibly have gotten lost on his way back to camp. It was less than a 5 minute walk along a clearly marked path. His sock was found in a boulder field which would have never been confused with the path to his campsite. Most Logical Explanation: Someone, not a camper or adult scout leader, whose locations were accounted for at the time of the disappearance, saw Garrett and kidnapped him. Since this wouldn't even occur to the people searching for the boy in such an isolated area, it guaranteed the perpetrator's escape. Two obvious theories, someone familiar with the Boy Scout Camp or someone who lived in a cabin near enough to the campsite in the remote area or who had access to an off-road vehicle kidnapped him. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Kidnapping, Rape and Murder on a railroad trestle in Delphi Indiana</span></b></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Two girls, Abigail Williams and Liberty German, were hiking along a remote railroad track in rural Indiana, Monon High Bridge Trail, which is part of the Delphi Historic Trails in Delphi, Indiana. This picture was retrieved from one of the girl's phones, Liberty German's phone/camera. Another photo captured an unknown man on the bridge in this remote area walking across the same railroad trestle that they had just crossed, who has become the #1 person of interest in the girls' disappearance and murder. This last photo was discovered when the girl's phone and bodies were found. Any law enforcement officer will tell you the hardest crimes to solve are stranger on stranger crime. But the fact that the girls' bodies were found next to the bottom of the railroad trestle yards away from Deer Creek, the same trestle that the girls and the man are seen to have walked across, in approximately the same period of time is irrefutable prima facia evidence. And then a/the male's voice was recorded commanding the girls to go "GUYS, DOWN THE HILL," which is where their bodies were found.</span></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

One story told to police, other kids at a party laced a beer with a dangerous drug and miscalculated the dose, killing the 14-year-old. Though the term predates the turn of the 19th Century, its most famous case dates back to 1933 when an Irish fireman, who lost his job during the Great Depression, named Mike Malloy was drugged with a spiked drink. Mike had became an alcoholic and homeless because of his job loss. In the course of his struggle to survive, he made the acquaintance of Tony Marino, Joseph "Red" Murphy, Francis Pasqua, Hershey Green, and Daniel Kriesberg, who later earned the nickname of "the Murder Trust" by the headlines. Tony Marino owned a speakeasy bar on Third Avenue in New York City. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">These "friends" plotted to buy several life insurance policies on a man "Nicholas Mallory" with themselves as beneficiaries, then kill him by getting him to drink himself to death so that they could collect, possibly with the aid of a corrupt insurance agent. They bought several insurance policies on Malloy's life under the name Nicholas Mallory and stood to gain over US $3,500 (equivalent to $69,000 in 2019) if Malloy died an accidental death, they would identify their "friend," Mike Malloy/Nicholas Mallory as the victim. Originally, Mike was given unlimited credit to drink as much as he wanted, Mike obliged. Eventually Marino realized he was going to lose money on the deal, Mike Malloy's ability to drink alcohol was insatiable while not life threatening. So the plotters started adding Anti-Freeze to his Mickey Finns, later turpentine and finally rat poison. None of which worked. Finally they got Mike Malloy so drunk that he passed out, they took him out on a sub zero night and dumped him in the road and poured several gallons of water on him, thinking Mike would freeze to death. Mike showed up the next night ready to drink some more. The conspirators then decided to run him down in a car, an ambulance came and carted him away, after three weeks in the hospital, Mike returned to the bar. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Finally, Mike's "friends," got him falling down drunk, found a gas line, improvised a rubber tube and forced it down his throat killing this strongest of men. But Michael Malloy's long, well known streak of bad luck, gave rise to police suspicions. An investigation by police quickly uncovered the scheme. All were arrested and executed at Sing Sing Prison "up the river" in Ossining New York.</span></div><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1m04eEViQd3pS36MFKTnjYrmYOl4qLXyr1uZElXogsTvKyNkIdL4JLWDQdivfZNSdSMrci6795n-MoltjVmtdvDCtu6uFgWfAUpFZXsVAHgu962jjS1AxTkzJU9G9NzDo16u3a2uUr1Pt/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="955" data-original-width="736" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1m04eEViQd3pS36MFKTnjYrmYOl4qLXyr1uZElXogsTvKyNkIdL4JLWDQdivfZNSdSMrci6795n-MoltjVmtdvDCtu6uFgWfAUpFZXsVAHgu962jjS1AxTkzJU9G9NzDo16u3a2uUr1Pt/w308-h400/image.png" width="308" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Murder is Cheaper than Divorce </span></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>Durham, North Carolina author, Michael Peterson murders his 2nd wife the same way he killed close family friend Elizabeth Ratliff with whom he was rumored to be having an affair while serving in the Army in Germany.</b><br /><br /></span></div></div></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">In 1966 during the Vietnam War, after having graduated from Duke Law School, Michael Peterson married Patricia, who taught at an elementary school on the Rhein-Main Air Base in Gräfenhausen, West Germany. He served in Vietnam and received a Silver and Bronze Star for Bravery. They had two children, Clayton and Todd. In 1968, Peterson enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served in the Vietnam War. In 1971, he received an honorable discharge with the rank of captain after a car accident left him with a permanent disability. Very close family friends George and Elizabeth Ratliff. George died, then Elizabeth died falling down stairs in her German Apartment in 1985. It was Michael who discovered her body. While the Petersons were in Germany, the Peterson's took their two children in as their own. Michael divorced Patricia in 1987. By 1989, he was living with successful Nortel Executive Kathleen Atwater and in 1997 they got married and her daughter joined them in a huge house in a prestigious section of Durham. His wife was earning over $100,000 a year in her job and it enabled the family to buy a beautiful home. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1oTR3kvH1giHZwKa42hmPhFpq7GPLod-4E2MUM1jV3gylof03EAbg0XGqzvBD5s-FNAubyKPnCij5irgqM3Ib_YNtcFGUYryc58ezEvuPgIrZKKC1tu6l01iiXcMFZjFVNTXP7dfekUTL/s768/kathleen+peterson+murder+victim.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="768" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1oTR3kvH1giHZwKa42hmPhFpq7GPLod-4E2MUM1jV3gylof03EAbg0XGqzvBD5s-FNAubyKPnCij5irgqM3Ib_YNtcFGUYryc58ezEvuPgIrZKKC1tu6l01iiXcMFZjFVNTXP7dfekUTL/w400-h266/kathleen+peterson+murder+victim.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Kathleen Peterson with her daughter and two step daughters early in the marriage.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia2vs1pstH2caJXpMBm51Ygtu1W_WkGJOrEff_rR4BrGms0MbM1Fow1SAaG2YpLA-WzroXop2zbaz9DHCOsciNCtaCXcdHRg-QJq2BGhknJGQcI1G3eGzPxsb1-eHpF5JHlw8j63ipEW9A/s531/Michael+Peterson+MURDER.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="304" data-original-width="531" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia2vs1pstH2caJXpMBm51Ygtu1W_WkGJOrEff_rR4BrGms0MbM1Fow1SAaG2YpLA-WzroXop2zbaz9DHCOsciNCtaCXcdHRg-QJq2BGhknJGQcI1G3eGzPxsb1-eHpF5JHlw8j63ipEW9A/w400-h229/Michael+Peterson+MURDER.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir91Ju6zYEzhjmUynXZz6zmkUwHbPV3SlXiCmsSwaHPyirzyAgZ88w5jVTKS-W6Qr2KJBSJ1sx03o168u3Z-1wzK-m81dGGe1P45ribRTjke2mqmAsSzBw4HnPRVzcQnsrkKfg_Xq6O-Gc/s728/peterson+home+murder+Durham.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="484" data-original-width="728" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir91Ju6zYEzhjmUynXZz6zmkUwHbPV3SlXiCmsSwaHPyirzyAgZ88w5jVTKS-W6Qr2KJBSJ1sx03o168u3Z-1wzK-m81dGGe1P45ribRTjke2mqmAsSzBw4HnPRVzcQnsrkKfg_Xq6O-Gc/w400-h266/peterson+home+murder+Durham.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div></div></div></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">After his career in the military, Michael told people he had won a Silver Star and two Purple Hearts, years later it was discovered that was a lie, he never had won Purple Hearts for being wounded though he did win a Silver Star and Bronze Star, both awarded for bravery under fire. During the 1980's and 1990's Michael Peterson wrote a series of books which all became bestsellers about his time in Vietnam. The Immortal Dragon, A Time of War, and A Bitter Peace. He co-wrote the biographical Charlie Two Shoes and the Marines of Love Company with journalist David Perlmutt, and co-wrote Operation Broken Reed with Lt. Col. Arthur L.

Kathleen's Nortel investments and stock portfolio crashed in value. This had been a major source of income for the family, losing these earnings was a disaster, but it soon got worse. Nortel was hit hard and 45,000 employees were laid-off in 2001.

Thompson had reported feeling ill with flu symptoms and had gone to the emergency room complaining of a stomach ache and constant vomiting. He was treated and released on January 21. Lynn made him some Jell-O and by the next day, he was dead. She only collected $36,000 in Randy's death due to his $200,000 insurance policy lapsing.

If they don't find those, they routinely credit weight, fatty deposits in the arteries of the heart, cirrhosis of the liver, as a possible cause of death. Questions raised by family and friends prompted a thorough autopsy of Randy Thompson, which turned up ethylene glycol crystals in Randy's organs. Glenn's body was exhumed and the Medical Examiner found them in Glenn's body as well. Ethylene Glycol is the active ingredient in Anti-Freeze, a deadly poison. Lynn was tried for Glenn's murder and convicted in 2004, then for Randy's murder in 2007, for both crimes she received life without parole, on August 30, 2010 she committed suicide.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>The Disappearance of BRILLIANT 14-year-old Andrew Gosden of Doncaster, Yorkshire UK.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6m7h8WlZd1u2Vbxw-7DqR17Wc9-DzRasnx5qD4Dax5gBJkA0dFhXSKe6XkuP5nC-rHIgz8yqIgBTf8oShRnwnKnSVA0_Butudw3HluLy_ZjpHLYKq0sXImlqbkCG22DiUkj1dGZyFf6Ca/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="549" data-original-width="976" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6m7h8WlZd1u2Vbxw-7DqR17Wc9-DzRasnx5qD4Dax5gBJkA0dFhXSKe6XkuP5nC-rHIgz8yqIgBTf8oShRnwnKnSVA0_Butudw3HluLy_ZjpHLYKq0sXImlqbkCG22DiUkj1dGZyFf6Ca/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Andrew Gosden's Mom and Dad left for work from their home in Balby North Yorkshire UK, They had seen him leave for school wearing his school uniform. Though his parents and family were members of the Church of England, Andrew Gosden was a gifted student with a 100% attendance record at The McAuley Catholic High School. He was on the Young Gifted and Talented Programme, which was designed to enhance the educational development of the top five percent of school pupils, and he had been expected to score straight A's in his GCSE examinations. Gosden was described as a prize-winning mathematician who seemed destined for Cambridge. He was described while not exceedingly popular, he was perceived by his classmates as being generally happy and well liked, in line with most kids. He did offer the opinion to his parents that he hoped that the upcoming school term would provide more of a challenge after having 'cruised' through his education thus far. Gosden tended to reveal little about his school life to his parents. During the 2006 summer holidays Gosden attended a two week residential school at Lancaster University as part of the Young Gifted and Talented Programme. The summer school was for children from all over the UK aged 11-16 who were in the top 5% academically. Gosden's parents recalled that he returned from the summer school being uncharacteristically enthused about what he had been doing there. <b>Wikipedia </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRT0ECTwK3LGhRA9_NKAXZ1bOViRbI9Dj2v1bJbbdMJZBY92rc43V93ES9LFO8jNmR_4q-zl3gmXLqL9Ql2CAHjlaIAlSqP_gNixPWK5aRcM6GjTw2GlG8m2DGAcjgq5So1rrUuA3Nvjpz/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="410" data-original-width="615" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRT0ECTwK3LGhRA9_NKAXZ1bOViRbI9Dj2v1bJbbdMJZBY92rc43V93ES9LFO8jNmR_4q-zl3gmXLqL9Ql2CAHjlaIAlSqP_gNixPWK5aRcM6GjTw2GlG8m2DGAcjgq5So1rrUuA3Nvjpz/w400-h266/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /></b></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Andrew had friends, most as gifted as he was, but found enjoyment in doing things by himself as well, like listening to music or reading a book. He wasn't moody, generally calm and even tempered, one teacher described Andrew as an old soul. His family bought him a cell phone when he was 12, but he lost it a few months later. When asked if he wanted them to replace it, he said he would rather have an Microsoft Xbox instead.

In the days leading up to his disappearance, Gosden twice chose to break his normal routine; his parents reported that he told them he walked home from school rather than taking the school bus.

Alan Murray who was sitting on a bench in the park. Instead of taking the school bus, Gosden diverted from his usual route and walked to a cash machine at a local garage. Here he withdrew £200 from his bank account which was almost all of his money - he had £214 in the account, but the ATM would only allow withdrawals of £20 notes Gosden was then captured on a neighbour's CCTV system returning home. At home, he placed his uniform in the washing machine and his blazer on the back of his chair. He then changed into casual clothes, consisting of a black Slipknot T-shirt and black jeans, and took a bag embellished with various patches of rock and metal bands. He also took his wallet, keys, and a PlayStation Portable console. No other possessions were identified as missing. It was quickly established that he had not taken his passport with him. Gosden's father stated that his son did not appear to have taken a sweatshirt or coat with him, and had also not taken the charger for his PSP. Gosden also left around £100 in cash that he had saved up from birthdays.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit;">At 8:30 AM, Gosden departed from the house and was seen heading down Littlemoor Lane, towards Westfield Park on a neighbour's CCTV. He then walked to Doncaster railway station and purchased a one-way ticket to London which cost £31.40. The ticket seller later recalled that she had told Gosden that a return ticket cost just 50p more but he insisted on purchasing a single ticket.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit;">At 9:35 AM Gosden was witnessed boarding the train to King's Cross station alone. One woman reported sitting next to Gosden, whom she described as being quiet and engrossed in playing his video game console. When Gosden failed to attend morning lessons at his school his teachers tried to contact his parents. The school believed that they had called Gosden’s parents and left a message informing them that he had not attended school. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit;">At 11:20 AM Gosden arrived at King’s Cros<span style="font-family: inherit;">s station and was captured on CCTV leaving the main entrance of the station at 11:25 AM. This was the last confirmed sighting of him. <b>Wikipedia</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The school noted Andrew's absence by about 10 AM, but apparently called another child's contact number by mistake, apparently the child above him on the school student roll, leaving a voicemail message at that number. A year after Gosden's disappearance, the head teacher at McAuley Catholic High School, Mary Lawrence, travelled to London with staff and pupils and distributed 15,000 leaflets. Gosden's family have kept his room as he left it and have not changed the locks on the house as Gosden was known to have taken his key. Gosden's bank account has not been used since he made the withdrawal on the morning of 14 September 2007. An article in The Times written on the first anniversary of Gosden's disappearance reported that, at that time, 122 possible sightings had been reported from all over Britain – with 45 from London and 11 from Brighton. Gosden's father has stated that there were two or three sightings within the first week of the disappearance that seemed credible, in part because of the way the witnesses claimed that Gosden had spoken to them. Gosden's family believe the most plausible sighting to be one which placed Gosden at the Pizza Hut on Oxford Street (2.6 miles, 1 hour's walk from Kings Cross and a short distance from London's Hyde Park) on the day he went missing.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0T_ScuYBh0Siq_9P1laY0QhZtDOhTcPfR9RTVT_OLii6krnzH_3KgC6dnxfl6-HSb01AErRo9BeghNihulIurSALxSGjms_V4rITFUBTIYPX7bSvH41FtiiO6LJy315hb1MJqYikcn0qh/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="439" data-original-width="814" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0T_ScuYBh0Siq_9P1laY0QhZtDOhTcPfR9RTVT_OLii6krnzH_3KgC6dnxfl6-HSb01AErRo9BeghNihulIurSALxSGjms_V4rITFUBTIYPX7bSvH41FtiiO6LJy315hb1MJqYikcn0qh/w400-h216/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Old King's Cross Station, which was opened in 1852, I think I recall recognizing from one of Margaret Rutherford's Miss Marple Movies.

However, according to Gosden's father, none of the sightings were followed up by the police, and the woman who reported the Covent Garden sighting was not spoken to until six weeks after Andrew's disappearance.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">In November 2008, a man visited Leominster police station in Herefordshire, West Midlands and used the intercom system to talk to a police officer, stating that he had information about Andrew. As it was an evening, the intercom system was in use rather than a staffed reception. By the time an officer arrived to take the details, the man had left. Police later appealed for him to get back in touch. The police station is located in a business park and is in a location that would have required a special effort to visit. Subsequently, an individual claiming to be the man at the police station wrote anonymously to the BBC after it featured the case on The One Show. He gave details of a possible sighting of Andrew Gosden in Shrewsbury in November 2008. Neither the Shrewsbury sighting, nor whether it was the same man on both occasions (and if so why he did not wait at the police station), have ever been confirmed. Many people, especially Andrew's family, feel the police did very little in the days immediately after Andrew's disappearance when it would have made a difference.</span></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;">Suicide, Enticed Kidnapping or Running Away? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My theory is that Andrew met someone at the Lancaster University program for gifted kids in 2006 and they connected. Was it another kid, a staff member or faculty/teacher. to whom he formed a special friendship? Andrew seldom spoke enthusiastically about anything, other than video games, than he did about his experience there. Since police never looked into this case with as much effort as it required, we may never know. But it has always struck me that the answer lies in Lancaster. I will add, normally, in our age of computers, everyone's first suspicion was Andrew might have met someone online. But, apparently, police did have MI6 experts look at all the computers he had access to, even friends, and could find no evidence of socializing or inappropriate contact by Andrew. I trust this analysis, because these are professionals with the latest software. Given that there would be no way to track a phone call, from a payphone, to someone he met at the Lancaster symposium and kept in contact with since 2006, when he disappeared in September 2007. Andrew was smart, if he had formed a friendship at Lancaster that he wanted no one to know about, he would not use computers or his own cell phone, which could be traced. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">Andrew's family and others noted the following anomalies </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">#1 Andrew took his Sony PSP handheld game system, but forgot/chose not to take the system's power supply. He was never known to have done this before.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">#2 Andrew bought a one-way ticket to London, which cost him 31 pounds 40 pence. He took 200 pounds out of his ATM Bank Account. Andrew did not immediately return home. Andrew had a large sum of money on him when he left, a larger amount than a couple of days in London would require.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">#3 The photo of Andrew at King's Cross Station apparently shows that he was neither worried or scared. Nor does Andrew seem to be searching for anyone. He appears simply to be getting his bearings. Andrew seems to know where he was and where he was going, navigating to a specific destination, known only to him. My first impression, he knew what he was doing, was comfortable with this step in his journey and any possible next step, which followed. If he did go to Pizza Hut on Oxford Street near Hyde Park, that would be a logical next step if he was hungry. It may indicate he may have been headed west from King's Cross Station for a roundez-vous with someone or he was headed to some place in particular. Going to the Natural History Museum accords with his character. This may indicate he was under no pressure and felt his time was his own. In almost every sighting he was alone, displaying a nonchalance, which betrayed no worries or danger. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">#4 Andrew had perfect attendance record in school, never missing a day, never subject of any disciplinary action. His teachers liked him and students did as well. Andrew apparently had no really close friends, but he had no enemies either. He simply blended into the woodwork, only getting noticed when his intelligence came into play. No one ever looked at Andrew and said you make me happy and I want you to be a part of my life. 13/14-year-old boys are beginning to have sexual feelings, we don't know if he met someone at the Lancaster University Program in 2006, who might have given Andrew the one thing, which was missing from his life. If he did find someone, then that was his business. It means something was missing from his life and he must have been to a degree unhappy. The idea that someone stepped into his life and brought light into to it, </span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>good for him</b></span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">. Just because a kid doesn't complain doesn't mean that he doesn't have a right or reason to complain. Maybe he just wasn't a complainer and no one noticed so he took things into his own hands.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">#5 Andrew's decision to walk home a few times in the days prior to his disappearance, after the beginning of the new school year, raises interesting questions. Changing his normal routine, for whatever reason, is the best point to start any investigation. Something changed and must mean something, understanding Andrew is the key to this mystery. If Police ever took the case seriously before it was too late, then they should have started with this behavior. Two possibilities suggest themselves, Andrew needed time to think by himself, not overwhelmed and interrupted by the cacophony of kids on a school bus or his loving, concerned family. The other possibility, something happened on the bus which bothered him, like bullying. If police had taken Andrew disappearance seriously from the beginning, they might have found this fact interesting and relevant and checked into it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">#6 Police did not take the Andrew's disappearance seriously. They failed to interview witnesses and talk to schoolmates until weeks later. Some were never interviewed. This is the most distressing fact in the entire investigation. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">#6 Andrew attended a two week summer program at Lancaster University for academically gifted children/teens/geniuses and came back telling his parents how much he enjoyed it. He was enthusiastic, effervescent and obviously had enjoyed the summer school program, while his normal behavior was quiet and reserved always hiding his cards so no one would know what he was thinking. This anomaly is a key to his future behavior. Did he make a friend at the summer school program who made him happy and become his first real friend. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">Andrew's parents describe Andrew's life before his disappearance as populated with at school friends, none of whom ever dropped by unannounced or otherwise. This was weeks before his disappearance. And before he changed any of his other behaviors. Question, did he make any friendships at the genius summer school program, among either the students and/or faculty? Whatever happened to him there, was a good experience for Andrew. He came back very enthusiastic, it made him happy to hang around kids like himself, in the top 5% academically. From what we know, police never looked into this part of Andrew's life. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">#8 Andrew's school friends were school friends, Andrew seldom sought out or dealt with kids from school outside of the classroom, in fact, he seldom had contact with kids in the neighborhood beyond incidental contact. He and the kids he knew seldom did things together. Andrew was self-sufficient, but he must have been lonely to some degree and looking for someone to be a real friend with whom he could share himself and his life. It is possible this was something he found at Lancaster University and the two week camp for smart kids that he attended. Could he have made phone calls to someone, on a payphone, to keep in touch with them. That would be a very sophisticated and smart thing to do, since there was no way to track them.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">#9Andrew is not reported to have contacted anyone in his family or circle of friends from Yorkshire, but staying London would mean staying at a hotel, all of which were contacted, much, much later by police and had no record of Andrew or anyone who remembered him. It is logical to think a smaller than average 14-year-old boy would stand out and be remembered. Again, considering the lack of police interest in the initial days of Andrew's disappearance, made the trail cold. I wonder how many people at the Lancaster Program were investigated, not that they are more likely to hide Andrew than anyone else, but they were the most recent contacts outside of his normal circle of family and friends. And they were close within a little more than a year of the time of his disappearance. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;">#10 Andrew talked about going to Cambridge University, a world-wide recognized mathematics institution. People who plan suicide usually have no future plans or verbally convey impossible goals. Andrew has a brilliant mind, going to Cambridge would only be logical. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">#11 Andrew's mom and dad were very religious members of the Church of England, 18 months before his disappearance, Andrew made the decision to discontinue attendance at church services. His older sister made the same decision some time earlier.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">#12 Brilliant British Mathematician Alan Turing, a part of the Nazi MI5 Ultra Enigma Decoding team at Bletchley Park went to Cambridge. Winston Churchill credited Turing and the Bletchley Park team of mathematicians with winning WWII. They let Churchill and FDR know Hitler and Nazi Plans before attacks. For those who remember, Churchill and British Intelligence allowed the Nazis to bomb Coventry because opposing it would let the Nazis know they had broken the Enigma Machine. Turing like Andrew was recognized early for his intelligence, Turing attended Sherborne School which focused on Mathematics, eventually going to Cambridge and Princeton in the US.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">#13 Alan Turing spoke often of the loneliness of being so far academically ahead of your peers. Alan Turing was arrested for being gay in the 1950's and ended his own life. Life for a straight or gay genius could be a very lonely life. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Life can be very difficult for a brilliant kid, many times they become victims of bullying and feel alone.

Columbo said that you always start an investigation by looking at the victim and any possible perpetrator's life, looking for any change in their normal behavior, tracing it back to any possible reason for this change. I would suggest that Andrew Gosden's disappearance and the subsequent investigation should have begun with his unqualified enthusiasm about his genius summer school program in Lancaster with fellow top 5% academic students and his sudden choice to walk home from school, instead of riding the school bus, Both broke his normal, quiet pattern of being a homebody who was rarely enthusiastic about anything. Always displaying a calm, reasoned persona, both of these events called for further, detailed investigation.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNenJNjc97Ue4-FxRNv8R49TGpeS7t7YMHBQdthz0sUqY_aVL597Mvd0nwz_U8G6DI88IBVGofYWAnAmf8IN7oE_pvD3oa6uDEuXquqU6YZDy4mhrB3j39NfpZt9FytgPjON2BqjRFlFz8/s610/Columbo+and+Jack+-+Copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="458" data-original-width="610" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNenJNjc97Ue4-FxRNv8R49TGpeS7t7YMHBQdthz0sUqY_aVL597Mvd0nwz_U8G6DI88IBVGofYWAnAmf8IN7oE_pvD3oa6uDEuXquqU6YZDy4mhrB3j39NfpZt9FytgPjON2BqjRFlFz8/w400-h300/Columbo+and+Jack+-+Copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK1szoRPze_EAZwcYN4uUcUYBsKoC3XgVuTFwPumH9PAoHU6Cf2hCLM2kARfmoUGzKV0wf8xWFrX2F2HFU4N05aQ08Qu_TQ7Vs5LFS3HlLy2v-CXje9GADNNBMwT2O1W0zBuT4mUZ2RyQg/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="250" data-original-width="250" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK1szoRPze_EAZwcYN4uUcUYBsKoC3XgVuTFwPumH9PAoHU6Cf2hCLM2kARfmoUGzKV0wf8xWFrX2F2HFU4N05aQ08Qu_TQ7Vs5LFS3HlLy2v-CXje9GADNNBMwT2O1W0zBuT4mUZ2RyQg/w400-h400/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div></div>Occam's Razor, postulated by English Monk William Occam(Ockham) 1287 - 1347, held that the simplest explanation for something is most often the correct assumption/solution.

Tom would run away from home as a result, hiding in the caves which populated the hills and valleys of Hannibal. Tom Blankenship, of English Ancestry, like Twain's character Huck, was the son of the town drunk. “Finn” came from another Hannibal resident, a much gentler Irish alcoholic, whose name Twain decided was more suitable for the character as both phonetically interesting and unique, Twain considered it appropriate, because it served common English prejudices and Irish stereotypes.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The appropriateness of the name "huckleberry" is underlined by a quality of the berry itself.

Quiet because they do not want to be a burden to us, but always the first to share our joy when good things happen to us and the last to complain when we share our burdens with them. Always willing to listen to us, when no one else will. But never sharing their own pain and loneliness. Greet every shy, withdrawn, gentle, quiet soul, especially a kid, with a smile. Say "Hello" and call them by their name, show them that they matter to us. They may not say anything, but you will make their day, just as they so often make ours. </span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVZUalMNVQ8YuZSpiksJMfWIsHmkzg07vEZOgwAFKdZ9HN7VuqVQGshrWNbC_DY45uMf7G4zU8qER6q6bnVqdFm4fwhASysEbHzKMrzTWmvvkgl3L22Sgv6aSHNQaugNaUNSkOUFUAnKia/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="921" data-original-width="570" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVZUalMNVQ8YuZSpiksJMfWIsHmkzg07vEZOgwAFKdZ9HN7VuqVQGshrWNbC_DY45uMf7G4zU8qER6q6bnVqdFm4fwhASysEbHzKMrzTWmvvkgl3L22Sgv6aSHNQaugNaUNSkOUFUAnKia/w248-h400/image.png" width="248" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1lkPJ7SeN009Ok_TNwgeckMf8VRselDb1Bse7pV460WusPPX2U-OmEFmfXU4ZAbSMooHI0sSdvc4oQn3F_r58FaNX0HwkvJp1C4Q7VT6qC8FYS5mSu_95RP7ZT3mPK3T-JS3h4dI9xnuf/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="998" data-original-width="650" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1lkPJ7SeN009Ok_TNwgeckMf8VRselDb1Bse7pV460WusPPX2U-OmEFmfXU4ZAbSMooHI0sSdvc4oQn3F_r58FaNX0HwkvJp1C4Q7VT6qC8FYS5mSu_95RP7ZT3mPK3T-JS3h4dI9xnuf/w260-h400/image.png" width="260" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikFuDtypoDbXkxCkJBYR4w8PDPOBj-K0TNLn3dv09Ye8IhXv5no7hp9OHIhS2g41zEWG33mFU57hjHUOC0fEGpb3K2ZHUuLbhK0S5SpNKKDCRskIdQqrk2dZTmjbots4O4ox57fB88Y17s/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="423" data-original-width="306" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikFuDtypoDbXkxCkJBYR4w8PDPOBj-K0TNLn3dv09Ye8IhXv5no7hp9OHIhS2g41zEWG33mFU57hjHUOC0fEGpb3K2ZHUuLbhK0S5SpNKKDCRskIdQqrk2dZTmjbots4O4ox57fB88Y17s/w290-h400/image.png" width="290" /></a></div><br /><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwrph9y560obDh3Un4SL8BADTPtnphw9fYwvgh6rMVCT4ZelrGY_svEIvXTLqBaL5vQ8o9hTi7q52UJ_Ti8yscGa8xWdyZZIuuAu_0-NyR6eRXMn0z0rrR52RE8vkGVmP-IVEGXHYx3hjG/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="425" data-original-width="568" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwrph9y560obDh3Un4SL8BADTPtnphw9fYwvgh6rMVCT4ZelrGY_svEIvXTLqBaL5vQ8o9hTi7q52UJ_Ti8yscGa8xWdyZZIuuAu_0-NyR6eRXMn0z0rrR52RE8vkGVmP-IVEGXHYx3hjG/w400-h299/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The last photo taken of Matthew Burdette, alone and lonely, keeping his secret and pain to himself, not wanting to burden his parents, Matthew gave up hope. Never let this happen to any other kid, for Matthew's and your own kid's sake. If you see a kid who appears depressed or withdrawn, do simple things like say hi and smile. If you lack the skills to strike up a conversation, find someone who might be more likely to draw them out. Of such acts of kindness are heroes born, even if only one person notices. But whatever you do, never do nothing. </span></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtVnEQoQESGlqElJtEVJtuykNJHqU9T0yNEHIYxJch3CBkRzMU_xdSBiSozfFKCX0h4dzgpi_MZ6frIqlrRGc-Zdxk4Skii4cEwjIzL_mVUPCpuE1PbS_WjbC-qDp-qIBHE05lVQBRE2x1/s640/matthew_burdette_close_1405476122256_6847347_ver1.0_640_480.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtVnEQoQESGlqElJtEVJtuykNJHqU9T0yNEHIYxJch3CBkRzMU_xdSBiSozfFKCX0h4dzgpi_MZ6frIqlrRGc-Zdxk4Skii4cEwjIzL_mVUPCpuE1PbS_WjbC-qDp-qIBHE05lVQBRE2x1/w400-h300/matthew_burdette_close_1405476122256_6847347_ver1.0_640_480.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGLI0_OmAj6MR0QIJxhyphenhyphencjA5L87v3LRUeJZkjb2B_PbUxS3Wza31SS9KpdlfoCfxcgAB9_6_wAmqc8KUqfk2f1EtOesoMY8z7s2yPSsgNa7O2ax2lUYzgHjaqN_wrU-LdoYSsFeCiOy5qg/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1349" data-original-width="2048" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGLI0_OmAj6MR0QIJxhyphenhyphencjA5L87v3LRUeJZkjb2B_PbUxS3Wza31SS9KpdlfoCfxcgAB9_6_wAmqc8KUqfk2f1EtOesoMY8z7s2yPSsgNa7O2ax2lUYzgHjaqN_wrU-LdoYSsFeCiOy5qg/w400-h264/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div></div><div><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-:18_11-0" style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11.2px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"></sup></div></div>Brian Keith O'Harahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10825703273375439558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232180857881256504.post-88247538609431466172020-12-19T16:25:00.670-08:002024-03-13T23:12:57.391-07:0013-year-old Michael Crowe Spent 8 Months in Jail, Then DNA Evidence Proved Michael's innocence, the DA and Police were Furious and Steven Truscott<p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">12-year-old Stephanie Crowe was attacked with a knife and murdered in her bedroom while her family slept in Escondido, California on January 20, 1998. The coroner determined that Stephanie had died that night sometime after 11 PM. She was found by her grandmother, Judith Kennedy, the next morning at 6:30 AM when she went in to wake Stephanie up. Police zeroed in on Stephanie’s 13-year-old brother Michael and two of his young teenage friends, Joshua Treadway and Aaron Houser, though they had no reason to suspect them or any evidence of their guilt. So police grilled the boys relentlessly. Eventually they wore the boys down and got half confessions from them.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDiwY6a8z1LI82bo3m011FQuuDLPDPMYQqiS6Yqb2A8cUGLp8fOELTsgNpSegT9fgCOsxLXmmyHWTbYwGfULuzQiN37DlTAgbnhY8y3_RYkZ25v99WbzydUoxYMTsAumqO9JcHHRIzUJfJ/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="160" data-original-width="233" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDiwY6a8z1LI82bo3m011FQuuDLPDPMYQqiS6Yqb2A8cUGLp8fOELTsgNpSegT9fgCOsxLXmmyHWTbYwGfULuzQiN37DlTAgbnhY8y3_RYkZ25v99WbzydUoxYMTsAumqO9JcHHRIzUJfJ/w400-h275/image.png" width="400" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWtERh99K3qneXifw_JMRlGRsMfYrNZ_Xv_EBKD8YSMxog695scomD5Y13VNfz8nhyRt-4meBNRRPCu7aTA2lfraiyNVJPz_7EMyP__JWgySUZaF89NMniXMHYzEABSvx5GkdHkY4J0Go-/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="503" data-original-width="670" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWtERh99K3qneXifw_JMRlGRsMfYrNZ_Xv_EBKD8YSMxog695scomD5Y13VNfz8nhyRt-4meBNRRPCu7aTA2lfraiyNVJPz_7EMyP__JWgySUZaF89NMniXMHYzEABSvx5GkdHkY4J0Go-/w400-h300/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The night of the murder, neighbors reported that a strange man: homeless, mentally ill schizophrenic, Richard Tuite, had knocked on several homes on the street looking for a girl named Tracy. He was belligerent, demanding to know where Tracy was, acting so strange and prowling through the darkened neighborhood, that several neighbors decided to call police to suggest that Tuite should be investigated for Stephanie's murder. Police found Tuite and took him to the station where they questioned him for a couple of hours then let him go. Police also confiscated his filthy clothing, taking note of scrapes and cuts on his arms and body and a large cut on his hand. Amazingly, Police never considered schizophrenic Tuite a suspect in Stephanie's murder. </span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. that night, Crowe neighbor Dannette Mogelinski, mistaking a knock on her door for that of a neighbor, was confronted by Richard Tuite, who appeared in distress, perplexed and concerned, she invited him in. </b><b> Tuite repeatedly asked if a girl named Tracy was there. Mogelinski said she did not know Tracy. Tuite left but then opened the door and again asked for Tracy. </b><b>Mogelinski again said she did not know Tracy, and finally Tuite left.</b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span><b><div>Around 9:28 p.m., Gary West, a neighbor of the Crowes, called police to report a transient/vagrant knocked on his door and said he was looking for a girl. Escondido police officer Scott Walters, was dispatched to the area. While investigating the neighborhood for this call, Officer Walters drove up to the Crowe house, stating:</div><div>There was a motion light above the garage door turned on when 1 drove up. The door that was next to the garage door, which was open. And I could see inside. There were lights inside the house. Absolutely nothing unusual at the house. And the door closed as pulled up. I couldn't see who was closing it.</div></b></span></div></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>Maybe because they already had their man, 13-year-old Michael Crowe. He was singled out by Escondido police because the crime scene seemed "to suggest an inside job," and because he seemed "distant and preoccupied" after Stephanie's body was discovered and the rest of the family grieved. </span>Obviously, Police never considered the possibility that Michael was in shock over the beating, knifing, attempted rape and murder of his sister. Maybe, if police had looked around, they would have realized that every member of Stephanie's family was in the same condition. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Michael told police that he had gone to get a Tylenol and something to drink from the kitchen for a headache early in the morning around 4:30 AM. Police noted that Michael had to walk by Stephanie's bedroom door on his way to the kitchen. Some police officers contended that Stephanie's bedroom door was wide open when they arrived, with her body lying on the floor just inside. They claimed Michael had to have seen her. Michael said he did not turn on any lights, he turned on the TV with sound muted, so he wouldn't bother his family; when he left his bedroom, he felt his way to the kitchen using only nightlights for navigation, so he had no idea whether Stephanie's door was open or shut. He took the Tylenol and returned to bed.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>The police claim that Stephanie's door was open when they got there and said it proved Michael's guilt, this was contradicted by some officers, who, arriving at the beginning of the investigation, admitted that Stephanie's door was closed when they arrived, but neither mattered, Nana/Granny had to open Stephanie's door to discover that she had been murdered. The illogic of the police argument illustrates an investigation which went off track from the very beginning.</b></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Police questioned all members of the Crowe family on the afternoon of January 21, 1998. They also forced Stephen, Cheryl, Michael and Shannon Crowe to strip, and photographed them naked or partially naked, ostensibly to look for scratches or other defensive marks. They didn't find any. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>Michael and Shannon were taken from their parents and placed in the Polinsky Center for abused children. Then detectives took Michael away for questioning; Shannon was told her brother was "going on a field trip."</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Police immediately targeted Michael, beginning a campaign of interrogating and bullying him relentlessly. Then they brought Michael's friends, Joshua and Aaron, into their web after finding no objective evidence against Michael, police then began interrogating all three teenage boys multiple times for hours and hours without their parents' knowledge or permission and without an attorney present. Courts have given police wide leave way to interview a child alone after that child reaches 13-years-old. During these interrogations, police falsely informed Michael that they had found physical evidence implicating him, later the police told all three boys that they were implicated by physical evidence found at the crime scene, a lie, and that each boy had failed an examination with a so-called "truth verification" device, a voice stress analyzer, another lie. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Police then told Michael, Joshua and Aaron that their parents were convinced that they were GUILTY, that they now believed the boys had attempted to rape and had murdered Stephanie Crowe. Police told lie after lie. They then told the boys that their parents wrote them off and hoped that these boys, their sons, would spend the rest of their lives in prison. The police told the boys that they had no one, that the police were the only friends that they had at this point. <b>With friends like that... </b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">After an intense 6-hour interrogation, Michael gave a vague "confession" to killing his sister, providing no details and ending the session by saying with tears in his eyes and horrific distress in his voice that he couldn't remember doing it. The interview was videotaped by police; at times Michael is heard crying and screaming, protesting his innocence, then saying, "I'm only saying this because it's what you want to hear." Police arrested and charged Michael, Joshua and Aaron with murdering 12-year-old Stephanie.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Treadway endured two interrogations that lasted a total of more than 20 hours -- including one that lasted all night. The videotapes show that police relentlessly questioned Treadway, 15 at the time, and refused to accept his spontaneous statements that he wasn't involved in the murder. By the end of 20 hours of questioning, Joshua Treadway told police he served as the lookout while Crowe and Houser, then 15, stabbed Stephanie.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Treadway told the jury which was trying Richard Tuite, "I would have chewed off my own leg" or said anything they wanted me to, to put an end to these vicious, relentless inquisitions by police.

Police did claim to have found a knife which was consistent with Stephanie's wounds at Joshua Treadway's house, Michael Crowe's best friend. Only one problem,</span><span> the police clamed the knife was in "plain sight" on a sofa. regardless,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> no human blood was ever found on this knife, even after extensive testing. No human blood of any type was ever found on any of the boys' clothes and none of the boys' clothes were unaccounted for. None of the boys showed defensive wounds of any type anywhere on their hands, arms or bodies even though there was evidence that Stephanie had violently struggled with her attacker. Each boy had been strip searched by police. None of the boys' semen or sperm was found anywhere in Stephanie's room. Every time and everywhere the police looked for actual evidence against the boys, the police come up empty. But that didn't stop them, because they "knew" dangerous schizophrenic Richard Tuite was innocent and Michael, Joshua and Aaron were guilty, with or without evidence.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As the boys' trial neared, the judge ruled at a preliminary hearing that Michael's confession was coerced through psychological abuse, two of the boys' confessions were redundant and struck them on that grounds,</span><span> </span><span>Houser's statements to police were suppressed because police did not sufficiently advise him of his Miranda rights. The Judge then ruled</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Joshua Treadway's first confession inadmissible on other grounds. The second Treadway confession remained admissible. This is the "confession," after 20 hours of interrogation by police in which Joshua said he had been a lookout.</span><b style="font-family: inherit;"> Never once did the judge consider the abuse the boys suffered while in police custody worthy of consideration for dismissal of all charges, at all.</b></span></p><p><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>Michael and his two friends were arrested, thrown in juvenile prison and finally, after months in jail, San Diego county began the process of putting together their case so they could put the boys on trial, at which point, to pre-empt the defense claim that Richard Tuite was Stephanie's rapist/murderer, police finally "tested" Richard Tuite’s clothes seized on the night of Stephanie's murder.

A very good movie, A Death in Canaan (1978), starring Paul Clemens, Conchata Farrell, Brian Dennehy and Stephanie Powers was made based on Joan Barthel's book. In Peter Reilly's case, a lie detector administrator falsely told the boy that his exam showed Peter LIED AND WAS 100% GUILTY OF THE CRIME. It didn't. Later examiners looked at the same exam print out and said it absolutely did NOT show Peter's guilt or that Peter was lying. The police and lie detector examiner used this false testimony to intimidate the innocent teenager/orphan to confess to the murder of his Mom. Peter was all alone and had no one to turn to for advice, he had been in police custody for over 24 hours and relentlessly questioned and bullied by the officers. The same phenomenon, Peter and Michael both said they had NO memory of doing the crime of which they were accused, but believed police when they told the boys they had absolute proof of the boys guilt. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://briankeithohara.blogspot.com/2013/02/i-was-kid-in-1973-and-remember-this.html" style="background-color: #eeeecc; color: #223344;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">http://briankeithohara.blogspot.com/2013/02/i-was-kid-in-1973-and-remember-this.html</span></a></div><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;"><span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoCFb-hp_Xr3yRNlwhv74YHBrclk0tb7Pxbj2cv_eHJQTx0qMPL8dbr1vl_orcf96RV4DvyAHcvZxgl4Z9rL4tlsSFw5LnAQ6yeHNOwQwwkvQLjcbyVKNk3fOi1oQdFJ_NJiCeyi-Rl9ME/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1297" data-original-width="840" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoCFb-hp_Xr3yRNlwhv74YHBrclk0tb7Pxbj2cv_eHJQTx0qMPL8dbr1vl_orcf96RV4DvyAHcvZxgl4Z9rL4tlsSFw5LnAQ6yeHNOwQwwkvQLjcbyVKNk3fOi1oQdFJ_NJiCeyi-Rl9ME/" width="155" /></a></span></span></div><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: black;"><span><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span face="sans-serif"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7YsYWM1AwK4VbBJ7CgI2SnIkM52o5CGkF-6jSi5UMB0_HW6S05NmmgSnTIm94jTsDHj4tQKsYumtlzuZlE7JGlrQKxujIXAWpiG6k1pK0ReUBDI8dDmjiNkpZCFIyq1AKRDA_dGSf4w9l/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="275" data-original-width="415" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7YsYWM1AwK4VbBJ7CgI2SnIkM52o5CGkF-6jSi5UMB0_HW6S05NmmgSnTIm94jTsDHj4tQKsYumtlzuZlE7JGlrQKxujIXAWpiG6k1pK0ReUBDI8dDmjiNkpZCFIyq1AKRDA_dGSf4w9l/" width="320" /></a></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><span style="color: black;"><span><span face="sans-serif"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Michael Crowe and his friends and co-defendants, Joshua Treadway and Aaron Houser.

While he awaited trial for the murder of Stephanie Crowe, prosecuted this time by the state of California, someone in the San Diego Police Department/District Attorney's Office started leaking the story to the press that the blood on Tuite's clothes had been the result of innocent, accidental or deliberate contamination by police, the DA's Office, Michael Crowe, Joshua Treadway and Aaron Houser's defense attorneys or their agents. Though they offered no logical way this could have happened. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">After a short trial, the jury convicted Tuite of manslaughter. Many people believe that the DA and Police "muddied" the water so much with their <b>FALSE</b> contamination story to account for Stephanie's blood on Tuite's clothes, that the prosecutors were lucky to get any conviction at all. Tuite's court appointed counsel then successfully appealed his case and got a new trial. Then the damage of the Police/DA leak/LIE came into play and destroyed any chance to get justice for Stephanie. In the second trial the jury discounted the blood and DNA and acquitted Tuite. Remember that police said that Stephanie's blood got on Richard Tuite's clothes due to contamination.

Jurors would later say the boys suffered psychological abuse at the hands of police. As the documentary footage shows, police took the boys out of the interrogation room, which had a video camera, then told each boy that his parents had abandoned him and said that each boy's parents said they hoped that their son would go to jail for the rest of their life. Michael and the other boys believed the police lie and then try to make up stories to make the police happy, after police told the 13-14-year-old boys that they are the only friends they have now. Every word the police said was a lie dipped in deceit. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">A psychologist who helped police obtain a false confession from 14-year-old Michael Crowe has settled out of court for $1 million. A judge had called the aggressive, relentless interrogations of Michael Crowe and two friends "psychologically abusive." <span style="font-family: inherit;">Dr. Lawrence "Deadlift" Blum, a police psychologist, helped police in Escondido, California formulate the "tactical plan" that they used to bully and abuse Michael, Aaron and Joshua into confessing to the murder of his 12-year-old sister, according to the Crowe family's lawsuit.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Blum admitted in a pretrial deposition that he told a police detective that 15-year-old Aaron Houser, Michael's friend, was a "Charlie Manson wannabe." Can you imagine the HORRIFIC DAMAGE that charge could cause an innocent kid? Aaron Houser has not gotten into any criminal trouble in the 20 years since the trial and his case's dismissal.

How many will forget that Trump "buddy" Kim Jung-un arrested American student Otto Warmbier, who entered the country ILLEGALLY. I would have been on the phone the second I found out and screamed at him, if he was on my kid, to get the hell out of the country IMMEDIATELY. Police States are not a place for kids raised in free countries. Otto was arrested for stealing a wall poster in his hotel after which the North Koreans proceeded to torture and murder the boy. I was stunned when the Warmbiers effectively defended Kim and Trump to smear Barack Obama. If my kid had gone to a police state by breaking the law and didn't listen to my pleas to leave, I would have been on a plane in seconds to go get him/her out of the country and on the next plane. I would have asked the state department for permission, first, of course, but then again I am a liberal Democrat. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0kwE-unIQehceSRbMiVqb7Xwoi8nGLTxM5MAa37ViQEEcUjp0rNt9WRmfX-cYw92cogxRtiYRsYLvy-pYQYQYMWYwlliIsIlKj9Rg0gxkBjef76mZWedPRS91ZpQ19JjGuMc1CfdZ3fKt/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0kwE-unIQehceSRbMiVqb7Xwoi8nGLTxM5MAa37ViQEEcUjp0rNt9WRmfX-cYw92cogxRtiYRsYLvy-pYQYQYMWYwlliIsIlKj9Rg0gxkBjef76mZWedPRS91ZpQ19JjGuMc1CfdZ3fKt/" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Republican San Diego Federal District Court Judge</span> John Rhoades<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"> threw out Michael Crowe, Joshua Treadway and Aaron Houser's Civil Rights Lawsuit, saying nothing the Police, DA and Police Psychologist did was actionable.

What is truly frightening, at some point San Diego Republican police and prosecutors had to realize the three boys were innocent, but to protect themselves, their careers, their raises and their promotions, they made the decision to PERSECUTE the INNOCENT BOYS anyway. There Blue Wall Crime Lab said there were no blood stains on Richard Tuite's red sweatshirt. That was a lie. Then they had to come up with a new strategy.

There is a credible report that someone tried to get access to Richard Tuite's shirt in the San Diego Sheriff's Evidence Locker, the shirt with Stephanie's blood on it, using a FAKE POLICE ID. You cannot get farther than the front desk of a sheriff/police department without a VALID POLICE/DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ID or an active duty police escort. So this person entered the secure area legitimately. This evidence clerk was efficient/dubious enough to seek verification of the "officer's" ID. Apparently, he was using a 2nd, fake ID. Before the clerk could complete the verification, the man disappeared. The only reason anyone using FAKE police credentials would want access to Tuite's shirt would be to DESTROY the shirt, to back up the DA/Police version of events. This shirt was the only ABSOLUTE PROOF of Tuite's rape/murder of Stephanie Crowe.

NM Republican Governor Susana Martinez was furious, she ordered the NM Republican Attorney General to take over the case from local prosecutors, then spent $100,000's appealing the case, ending up in the Republican 10th Federal Circuit Appeals Court, which upheld prison for BURPERS. Boys are tortured and raped in juvenile prison, but for BURPING? There is a logic to 12/13/14-year-old BURPERS in prison, they will require fewer guards than teenage rapists, muggers and murderers, which take more guards and eat into profits at REPUBLICAN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT PRISONS.

Lynne wanted to visit a friend whose family owned a horse ranch. That evening the kids had gone home for dinner and returned to school to play with other kids since the weather had started to get warm. In fact, by June 9th, temperatures were in the high 80's Fahrenheit, unusual for Ontario that early in the summer. Being in the northern latitudes days lasted much longer than they do further south. It was still light out when these events occurred. Steven volunteered to give Lynne, a 7th grade playmate, a 2 1/2 +/- mile lift to the crossroad of County Road and Highway 8 which was 1/2 mile down a dirt road from her friend's house and horse farm, which she intended to visit. She was known to have repeatedly visited the horse farm, one of her favorite places in the small town in which she lived.</span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span><span>Boys playing on the bridge and in the creek under it identified Lynne and Stephen as riding over the bridge above the creek headed to the crossroads where Steven said he dropped Lynne off less than 100 yards away. These boys even said they could recognize Lynne was wearing blue short pants. </span></span><span>When her body was found, her blue turquoise short pants were found on the ground beside her, along with her panties, while her blouse was tied and knotted around her throat. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>When Lynne did not come home by 10 PM on June 9th, Lynne's family reported her missing to the police.

So Police decided to conduct a test to verify their conclusion. Instead, to their surprise, police determined someone in the creek could identify riders over the bridge.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> But then the Police and Prosecutors chose NOT to tell the defense about their test, which verified the truthfulness of Steven's eyewitnesses. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijgzRGgyLIQTzU-oUXHc9cPcy8VkKdTmESmraAuVxJLtfbeGAOOzOiK12LJydRSn54tUpxOtjphiXnnkYAftlaGueXruszfCVUVeIOsI54-UtkQZ1TnhQ41I49PdB9arCf8c9vph0GbA_R/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="290" data-original-width="442" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijgzRGgyLIQTzU-oUXHc9cPcy8VkKdTmESmraAuVxJLtfbeGAOOzOiK12LJydRSn54tUpxOtjphiXnnkYAftlaGueXruszfCVUVeIOsI54-UtkQZ1TnhQ41I49PdB9arCf8c9vph0GbA_R/w400-h263/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Steven later told police that he looked back, from approximately the point of view of this photo towards the crossroads, where the street sign and road to the right is today.

The Air Marshal Hugh Campbell Royal Canadian Clinton base used yellow sticker/tags on military personnel vehicles to identify military personnel who worked there. </span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Police said it was impossible for Stephen to have seen the yellow sticker from the bridge looking back at where Lynne was, though defense associates tested this and determined it was possible. Proving for the second time police testimony contradicting Steven and his witnesses was not true. The police lied to convict 14-year-old Stephen.</span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">No one ever saw Lynne alive again. Her naked body was discovered on June 11. Lynne had been raped and strangled, her blouse was wrapped tightly tied around her neck and knotted. Police immediately began targeting Steven as the ONLY suspect/perpetrator. Steven panicked, he was terrified, police were repeatedly and relentlessly questioning him and his friends in their effort to convict the 14-year-old boy. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div>Arnold George, one of Truscott’s closest friends, testified that Steven had put him up to supporting his story when they spoke at Steven’s house the day after Lynne’s disappearance on June 9th, that would be the 10th, when police had begun their serious focus on Steven, but before her body was found. George was to tell the police that he saw Steven and Lynne on his bicycle down at the river around 7:30. At first George lied but when the body was found he told the police the truth, that he had not seen Steven.</div><div><br /></div><div>Truscott testified that at no time did he ever ask George to lie or to falsely tell the police that he had seen him at the bridge. Whatever the truth of the matter, Steven's panic and terror is easily understandable. Police stopped looking for suspects when they began only looking at him. What would you expect an innocent 14-year-old innocent boy to do as he felt to police noose tightening around his neck. </div><div><br /></div><div>FROM THE COURT RECORD, APPEAL OF STEVEN TRUSCOTT </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg59vs_gLJn9H9YMJB3A7N3xCITjewTOZV_IxPM_EO6v5f4NWuXZ3rI9bIdKIaUL4l9g5b7oECpEWi7KJhHTMQvAw1tX5qtPm3_qfLSWJUpM9V1r2BDTMi-vjiwpbtzZvrN0OOfd8bF3Q4Q/s510/logan+statement+about+Steven+Truscott.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="493" data-original-width="510" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg59vs_gLJn9H9YMJB3A7N3xCITjewTOZV_IxPM_EO6v5f4NWuXZ3rI9bIdKIaUL4l9g5b7oECpEWi7KJhHTMQvAw1tX5qtPm3_qfLSWJUpM9V1r2BDTMi-vjiwpbtzZvrN0OOfd8bF3Q4Q/w400-h386/logan+statement+about+Steven+Truscott.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Steven was arrested on June 12, 1959 taken to the base jail and locked up.

Truscott and Harper had danced one dance together at a school social, but they were not considered a couple by the other kids in the school. Truscott had been the last person to see her alive. Convicted as an adult, he was scheduled to be hanged; however, the federal cabinet reprieved him commuting his sentence to life in prison a couple of months later. Steven was released on parole in 1969. Five decades later, in 2007, his conviction was overturned thanks to a CBC Documentary about the case which turned up evidence was much weaker than prosecutors had portrayed it at the 14-year-old's trial for his life. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh77jVGcrCVD0WFHdnj1BK1gJJ61ER1Z0HxHSMSSvFoEpkAGaMGBVsFLxgZvRVvFYlwq2K3hXXDyPuIEqJUjTAZCv9vDe1vDMEqliuguJ8XqxG4U8femKIX2huBkbxuCcXKXvJrVIJG4OkY/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh77jVGcrCVD0WFHdnj1BK1gJJ61ER1Z0HxHSMSSvFoEpkAGaMGBVsFLxgZvRVvFYlwq2K3hXXDyPuIEqJUjTAZCv9vDe1vDMEqliuguJ8XqxG4U8femKIX2huBkbxuCcXKXvJrVIJG4OkY/w400-h266/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Steven Truscott's middle class home at 2 Quebec Road in Clinton, now called Vanastra, after the Royal Canadian Air Force Base was shut down in 1971.

Steven explained that he had promised to give Lynne a ride to a crossroad near her friend's horse farm on his bike handlebars, otherwise she would have had to walk the whole way, about a 30 to 40 minute walk. It has been argued that the police and prosecutors coached this 13-year-old girl to give a statement an ominous connotation to cinch their case against Steven. She also implied that Steven had been trying to have an assignation with her and had even stopped by her home the day Lynne disappeared trying to get her to go off with him. One huge problem, in a very long interview with police lasting over an hour, with multiple pages of police notes, before Lynne's body had been found, this girl makes no mention of either of these stories. These stories came later as prosecutors were building a case against Steven. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It should be added at this point, Steven had NEVER been in any trouble of any sort before this in his life, legally or with his parents or school.

The crossroads where Steven says he let Lynne off was about another mile, so another 6 to 7 minutes, meaning Steven and Lynne arrived there at 7:25 to 7:30 PM, Steven turned around and headed back to the playground after a moment to catch his breath, arriving at about 7:40 PM. At every stage his location was testified to by eyewitnesses. No one ever, on this occasion or at any other time, said Steven raced anywhere on his bike.

Which means Steven had to have premeditated the crime, planning to rape and murder Lynne from the very beginning. There was no time for an assignation, any kissing or any normal adolescent sexual advances, gone wrong. Lynn had twigs and rocks driven into her back, some of which pierced her skin while she was still alive, which must have been incredibly painful. Lynne must have screamed and would have fought back, with all her strength, </span></span>clawing and striking her assailant with her hands until her last breath, which must have left traces on her assailant. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>Forget what you think you know about strangulation.

Which actually says, it is better to torture and murder the innocent than allow appeals after a certain point in a criminal proceeding. In 2005, 7 years after an Ohio man Clarence Elkins was convicted of the murder and rape of his 68-year-old former mother-in-law and the rape of his 6-year-old niece, REPUBLICAN Judge Judy Hunter REFUSED to consider DNA from the rape kits from the two victims, which did NOT match Clarence Elkins, the man convicted of the crime. <a href="https://briankeithohara.blogspot.com/2021/05/an-ex-wife-fights-for-her-ex-husband.html">https://briankeithohara.blogspot.com/2021/05/an-ex-wife-fights-for-her-ex-husband.html</a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In 1966, Investigative Reporter Isabel LeBourdais wrote a book about Steven Truscott's trial and conviction, raising questions which seemed to point to a miscarriage of justice.

One half of his life had been stolen from him. If you wonder why I wrote this page on my blog, Steven's innocence was attacked in a recent book which supported the original police conclusions, conveniently ignoring the issues, which I and others have raised. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">By the time Steven Truscott was released from prison in 1969 at the age of 24, he had nowhere to go. He would be hounded by the press anywhere he went, making a normal life impossible. He did not want to put his parents through any more pain. Being perceived as the parents of a child killer was a tremendous burden to his mom, dad and siblings. But they never abandoned Steven, they never stopped believing in his innocence, his family kept lobbying for their son and brother to get a new trial, a chance to prove his innocence. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The head of the Ontario parole board, Max Steinberg, decided to help the young man, he and his family took Steven into their home so he could begin building a life. In an interview for a CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Company documentary, Steinberg said through his years of experience he could recognize criminals, especially violent criminals. He NEVER believed that Steven was such a person, to him, Steven was a gentle boy and man, leading Steinberg to personally aid in the fight to get Steven exonerated. Photos from home movies of Steven celebrating his birthday with the Steinberg family, who treated him just like he was their son.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv1pxmNcIn2O3wJT7MN6EUw79jY7N92YTqadaD8Omq0f39AeGX-coStgxFScPWYGJhTja_xzWyg4jyCWAzgUokxLefdPD-PE6djzCgZE5l-DSwpqDiz-ujQOediX43uwVaPC2B4lScPJkj/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="469" data-original-width="441" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv1pxmNcIn2O3wJT7MN6EUw79jY7N92YTqadaD8Omq0f39AeGX-coStgxFScPWYGJhTja_xzWyg4jyCWAzgUokxLefdPD-PE6djzCgZE5l-DSwpqDiz-ujQOediX43uwVaPC2B4lScPJkj/w377-h400/image.png" width="377" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvS28Ixd4jEuyF4xK8PvxJiF5MzLxQktwtK5sShAYszRCiFSmq56z2Uae219rJFf0RdCTDO_Sbt4swhyjoB78h_eGs5AAdFhXt9kv7yq4E1iineY8J9qN5E8SmHeNxahcZUvCSN2scBh-2/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="387" data-original-width="501" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvS28Ixd4jEuyF4xK8PvxJiF5MzLxQktwtK5sShAYszRCiFSmq56z2Uae219rJFf0RdCTDO_Sbt4swhyjoB78h_eGs5AAdFhXt9kv7yq4E1iineY8J9qN5E8SmHeNxahcZUvCSN2scBh-2/" width="311" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLH0Lz8cf22-flpiMcrVxVfRqUHY2DJuCmaovDfmlG1TUKgBpso9LpXS8isxFU2NGDPNW1Jd-XkBqlTqNLqBvhzSDt89Yz5fKbjFu5xjI5LphubtxIHF9ZSsrbdoXBS3tGCvTuRauAkN7D/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="389" data-original-width="517" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLH0Lz8cf22-flpiMcrVxVfRqUHY2DJuCmaovDfmlG1TUKgBpso9LpXS8isxFU2NGDPNW1Jd-XkBqlTqNLqBvhzSDt89Yz5fKbjFu5xjI5LphubtxIHF9ZSsrbdoXBS3tGCvTuRauAkN7D/" width="319" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">1) Steven Truscott appealed his conviction again, claiming new evidence came to light. Among the evidence Steven's supporters acquired, coroner's notes from the actual autopsy of Lynne Harper, which CONTRADICTED the Coroner's SWORN testimony at Steven's trial. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>In his notes from Lynne's actual autopsy, the coroner gave a probable 4 hour window for her death, possibly slightly longer, probably between 7 PM and 11 PM on June 9th. When he testified at trial, the coroner testified that Lynne's death occurred between 7 to 7:30 PM, give or take a few minutes. It was the coroner's LYING testimony which led directly to Steven's conviction. If his testimony had been true, Steven was the only person who could have killed Lynne. The fact that it was a deceitful, damnable lie was a crime against Steven and a crime against humanity, against us all. </b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>We know that Steven and Lynne left the school playground after 7:00 PM, verified by t</b></span><b>wo teachers who monitored kids on the playground, Mrs. Nickerson and Mrs. Bohonus, who were adamant that Steven and Lynne left the playground between 7:10 to 7:15 PM. </b><b style="font-family: inherit;"> and Steven was back at the playground by about 7:40 PM, then Steven arrived home by about 8:10 PM to 8:15 PM, so he could babysit his siblings. </b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">In Steven's version, backed up by eyewitnesses: Steven is known to have ridden his bike, with Lynne on his handlebars, from the school at 7:10 PM to the crossroads of the County Road and Highway 8, which was approximately 2 to 2.25 miles from the school, accounting for 12 to 15 minutes. Steven then rode back to the school playground, by himself, arriving at approximately 7:40 PM, accounting for another 10 minutes (</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>+/-</b></span><b style="font-family: inherit;">), then leaving the playground after 8:00 PM, but this time riding alone, riding home to his home another 5 minutes, arriving at home at 2 Quebec Road by about 8:15 PM. </b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Even giving the prosecution the benefit of every doubt, that Steven and Lynne had an assignation in the woods, at some point she resisted, to which Steven responded by attacking and raping her, then Steven fought and strangled her to death, which took 3 to 4 minutes itself, then cleaned up and returned to the playground. That is an incredibly tight, less than a 10 minute window, of opportunity for a skinny boy who was scarcely bigger than Lynne was, to overpower and restrain Lynne, then commit a violent rape, which could have taken up to 5 minutes, then 3-4 minutes to strangle her, cleaning himself up, a couple of minutes, probably, then riding his bike for 5-10 minutes back to school, returning to their friends and acting as if nothing happened. It is simply not possible, which means this is NOT the truth. </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The police made Steven strip and examined his naked body minutely during questioning the following day, but were unable to find any wounds or injuries on his body suggestive of an attack, except the one listed below, which had an entirely innocent explanation.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Current medical experts report there is <b>NO</b> way to set a time of death to within 15 to 30 minutes, ever, unless the person has been killed 15 to 30 minutes IMMEDIATELY before their body is found, but especially if a body has been left out in hot 80 Degree Fahrenheit plus temperatures for over two days. In the 1960's, New York City Medical Examiner Milton Helpern fought to abolish the position of coroner, which is a political, elected office.

He lied and more people died. And if you remember, the county coroner helped him out saying that the first attack, saying the girl had been hit by a boats propeller. Matt Hooper/Richard Dreyfuss said that was a lie and the coroner was a liar. The coroners was a politician, not a public servant. The tourist industry came first. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis ordered Coroners to list Coronavirus deaths under any underlying chronic medical condition, when present. Take for example, someone has had heart disease, diabetes, congestive heart failure, arteriosclerosis, kidney disease, etc., for the last 20 years, then catches the Coronavirus and dies days later. DeSantis ordered the Coroners to list the death from the underlying chronic condition as the cause of death, this was done for his own political benefit. DeSantis has made doing nothing to fight the Coronavirus Pandemic a central plank of his time as governor. He has fought social distancing, vaccination requirements to attend public events and face mask mandates, even winning a case in the Republican Appeals Court which upheld his blocking face mask mandates in public schools, Florida is now #1 in new cases of the Coronavirus, the DeSantis effect.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">When Health Department public information officer Rebekah Jones created a website with accurate numbers of the dead from the Coronavirus, 33% higher than the official state figure Republicans released, DeSantis had her fired and later arrested for not following his orders. A few days ago Republican Appeals Court Judges blocked face masks in public schools and public places at his behest. During the spring of 2021, DeSantis gave a speech and cited only one Coronavirus death that day as proof the pandemic was over. A check with the CDC showed 47 people died of the Coronavirus on that day in Florida. On September 12, 2021, Rebekah Jones website, which she maintains on her own, showed 1338 died from the Coronavirus, yesterday, 9/11/2021. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHFzyPPzOU9LC5f2DwVGFXUw8KghzuSuPUFr_B3eOsWucq_bk5vGOYx1W7xQdavWboy75x5CSowD5Cvvz968tFpZBRcB2SD9DebbMyyZm4Ia0Cb4-by9U3KqGUw86sC14PaNnnaqWdsXGe/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="315" data-original-width="1188" height="106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHFzyPPzOU9LC5f2DwVGFXUw8KghzuSuPUFr_B3eOsWucq_bk5vGOYx1W7xQdavWboy75x5CSowD5Cvvz968tFpZBRcB2SD9DebbMyyZm4Ia0Cb4-by9U3KqGUw86sC14PaNnnaqWdsXGe/w400-h106/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">A couple of years ago, the Texas State Crime Lab was found to have been manufacturing evidence to convict people accused of crimes. Police would tell them what they wanted, the crime lab would fake the evidence. These Blue Wall doctors and technicians framed several innocent people. <a href="https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2017/09/the-implosion-of-austins-crime-lab-a-timeline/">https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2017/09/the-implosion-of-austins-crime-lab-a-timeline/</a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">And food digestion is considered only accurate in telling you what the person's last meal was, not a precise time it was eaten, much less a time of death. Active physical recreation of any sort on the school playground would have retarded food digestion. Stress like a violent rape and/or strangulation would have totally shut down digestion, as all blood is funneled by the muscles in the fight for survival. The current Nova Scotia Chief Medical Examiner said in a documentary about Steven, there is no way any medical expert would reach the conclusion the Clinton, Ontario Coroner reached in 1959, today. Normally, this <b>DISHONEST PROSECUTION</b> fine tuning of witness testimony is called <b>TESTILYING</b>. Where a professional witness tailors his testimony to help convict the accused, not achieve justice.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">2) Lynne's body was exhumed and insect evidence was re-examined.

We know that kids, Richard Gellatly, 12, who was biking towards school and Philip Burns, 10, who was walking towards the school playground, saw Steven and Lynne on his bike, passing Lawson's Bush/Woods, riding away from school on the way to her friend's pony ranch/home. We know six witnesses place Steven and Lynne well past Lawson's Bush/Woods, within a 100 yards of the crossroad where Steven said he dropped Lynne off. Steven then rode his bike back to the school playground arriving about 7:40 PM, where he continued to play with his friends until he left for home arriving there between 8:00 PM and 8:15 PM. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">4) A 12-year-old boy named Gordon "Gord" Logan was fishing and catching turtles with friends in the local stream when they noticed Steven and Lynne riding his bike on the road on June 9th. The boys yelled "hello" and waived at them. He and his friends knew them and they only fished that one day, the first really warm day of the year, so they were 100% sure of the identification and testimony. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">The reason this is so important, Gord, his friends and the stream were well past the point at which Lynne's body was found and less than a 100 yards of the crossroads where Steven said he<span style="font-family: inherit;"> dropped Lynne off on his way home. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>Another boy on the bridge that day, one of six witnesses who knew Steven and Lynne and saw them while riding home, verified Steven's version of events, said he saw Steven and Lynne riding Steven's bike on the bridge, even noting that Lynne was wearing blue short pants. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At Steven's trial, Doug Oates, 12, and his 16-year-old brother, Alan, testified that they were on the bridge looking for turtles on June 9 and saw Truscott and Lynne cycling across sometime between 7 and 7:30 p.m. Again Doug and Alan knew Steven and Lynne and were absolutely positive as to what they saw. None of these boys</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> witnessed Steven and Lynne doubling back across the bridge together, but they did notice some cars on the road after that. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">One of the vehicles the boys noticed was a new <b>Gray</b> automobile going in the direction of their school, the Air Force Base and the thick woods WHERE LYNNE'S BODY WAS FOUND. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">During Steven's murder trial the prosecution claimed that Steven and Lynne never reached this point. Prosecutors and police </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">REFUSED</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> to take these SIX EYEWITNESSES' testimony seriously. The police and prosecutors, rather than listening to the boys, called them liars.

The officers in the creek said they could recognize the riders and their clothes.

She would have had to walk down this road to get her friend's home, a distance of about 1/2 mile, which should have taken her between 5 to 10 minutes. The prosecutors claimed Lynne would have never hitchhiked, even though friends and family claimed they had given her a lift home from the same point on several occasions. A question which would become integral to Steven's defense, would Lynne have accepted a lift from a man in uniform, especially someone she knew? Everyone involved lived within a few miles of the Air Force Base and said it would have been natural for any kid to trust a man in uniform. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Stakes mark the spot in heavy underbrush where Lynne's body was found.

The first photo was taken from the main street leading to Lynne and Steven's homes and the Air Force Base. Even an adult would have trouble carrying a struggling child or dead body this far without a car/truck. Even using the prosecutors assignation theory, less than 5 to 10 minutes from that timeline can be allowed for Lynne's rape/murder. The inescapable conclusion is that this theory is only possible if Steven had planned to rape and murder Lynne all along. It does not account for the kids would have had to tramp a 100 yards into the woods and underbrush, which makes an impossible timeline into a ridiculously impossible timeline. All predicated on Lynne spontaneously asking Steven for a lift, which he and others had occasionally done before. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5iznOczzLZAlt7XP05Hq1ejCBVJXTPFuxYbmthDbqEhARlXVvn7M511pW9ghtQMYMB9Pn8oX4oK5JLdx6tJTzE956mjJYMoIGvHu7Gi4HNVcC1zFvn7xwmOp17UNLFBE9Wl870KQR_js3/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="325" data-original-width="463" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5iznOczzLZAlt7XP05Hq1ejCBVJXTPFuxYbmthDbqEhARlXVvn7M511pW9ghtQMYMB9Pn8oX4oK5JLdx6tJTzE956mjJYMoIGvHu7Gi4HNVcC1zFvn7xwmOp17UNLFBE9Wl870KQR_js3/w400-h281/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj91t2doS6fhBZD8Nqd-wZB5P5-mkqfoU6mNw5ev3NomZnSUoproxco7xwTqPFY5-qieW37clPqcB8k6eGG7VvwjYM1b5FbyZhfHO6TUQxLGMpy4KOSiKW7CuLXbrlBlcGFvijbHre6TeRT/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="442" data-original-width="650" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj91t2doS6fhBZD8Nqd-wZB5P5-mkqfoU6mNw5ev3NomZnSUoproxco7xwTqPFY5-qieW37clPqcB8k6eGG7VvwjYM1b5FbyZhfHO6TUQxLGMpy4KOSiKW7CuLXbrlBlcGFvijbHre6TeRT/w400-h272/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">5) A question never answered by prosecutors, why would Lynne let Steven take her this far away from the road, especially doubling back after Gord had seen them? Steven was not a particularly big or strong boy, nor was he stupid, he was known as a good student and bookworm among his friends and kids at the school. Having been seen with her, he had to know he would be the first and most logical suspect. The physical force necessary to subdue a girl was probably beyond his ability without a horrendous fight, in which, Steven was almost certain to get seriously injured with marks of this life and death and battle. Plus Steven and Lynne would have had to go past witnesses, which would have given her an opportunity to scream and ask for help. Steven having to carry Lynne's dead weight was probably beyond his physical ability too. If she was alive she would have resisted and screamed for help. No way he could have ridden a bike and carried her while she struggled, or her dead/unconscious body. No weapon was used on Lynne she was strangled. Simply escaping his grasp would have meant freedom. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">So the police turned to the only theory which fit the the timeline: an assignation between Steven and Lynne that went wrong. The police theory: two kids sought privacy to "neck" but Lynne resisted when Steven tried to have sex with her. So Steven raped and strangled her. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">From the investigation, the only known "romantic" contact Steven had with Lynne was at a school dance, in which boys and girls were to trade off partners with each new song. One of Steven's many dances had been with Lynne. No one remembered anything particularly romantic or note worthy from Steven's dance with Lynne. Throughout the entire dance, Steven was polite and somewhat shy. All the other girls consistently agreed with this appraisal of the 14-year-old boy.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">No one has ever accused Steven of any previous act of violence. Steven was not a bully, he was much more likely to be the victim of bullies. He was a quiet and a somewhat shy boy. While he was a healthy boy, he was not particularly strong. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Detectives will tell you that if you want to solve a murder by a serial killer, you always go to their first crimes/murders. At that point they have not perfected their technique, they are novices and unsure of themselves, they are making mistakes. These are the crimes that detectives will solve first. If Steven did murder Lynne, as police claim, then he was going to make mistakes. The fact that he had no wounds from a struggle with Lynne on his body, argues very strongly against his guilt. Lynne was fighting for her life, she fought back. When anyone is facing death, we all possess incredible strength. With Steven as the perpetrator, it was a much more equal battle, Stephen would have been injured. That can almost be guaranteed. Steven showed no signs of a struggle. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">An adult perpetrator, weighing 100 pounds more than Lynne and many times stronger than she was, would have no such problem, though even he should have some wounds from Lynne battling her attacker as she fought for her life. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Another fact with which most criminal experts agree, the first victim of a murderer will show signs of hesitation, it will take longer and be more drawn out as the perpetrator works up to committing the murder. At 10 minutes, Steven had no time for such behavior. The person who murdered Lynne had engaged in this behavior before and no signs of hesitation. Since he did not have to deal with Steven's tight timeline, he could spend hours terrorizing and raping Lynne before murdering her. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>At 10 PM July 9th, Bob Watson, a 13-year-old boy who knew Steven and Lynne, was walking home from the school playground when he saw a car parked with what appeared to be a man and someone else illuminated by the interior dome light, possibly a woman/girl, about 50 yards off the main road down a dirt track leading to the Lawson Bush Woods where Lynne's body was found. It was far too dark to notice the color of the car or anything more than that. This boy's testimony was simple and unembellished. Police refused to accept this testimony. </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">A note that in Canada warm weather is very much appreciated when it finally arrives, so kids can hardly be contained in the house, regardless of the hour, when the temperature is above 75 Degrees Fahrenheit. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">6) At trial, prosecutors showed evidence that Steven's penis had chaffing, which they contended was proof of rape.

His attorney in 1959 was worried that these senior crown prosecutors would tear him to shreds in their cross examination. They made the decision not to allow Steven to testify in his own defense. In retrospect this was a huge mistake. The province put their best prosecutors on the case, while Steven had a public defender, who never gave him a chance to fight for his life. Remember, Steven was facing the death penalty. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">6) One of the major reasons Steven's conviction was overturned, prosecutors did not turn over and actually hid police and coroner notes from the defense. The Crown Prosecutors portrayed the case against Steven as open and shut. While coroner, police and prosecutor notes taken during the investigation told a much different story. Remember the coroner said Lynne was murdered within minutes of 7 to 7:30 PM, while his actual autopsy notes show that he concluded that there had been a 4 hour window, quite possibly longer, for her murder. Police tested eyewitness testimony, found that their testimony was quite possibly true, then walked into court calling the six boys, eyewitnesses, LIARS. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>The coroner DELIBERATELY DECEIVED THE JUDGE AND JURY WITH MALICE OF FORETHOUGHT.</b> The only question, was this at the behest of Crown Prosecutors, who sought the death penalty for Steven Truscott? Police refused to turn over the boys witness statements to the defense, since police said they gave no credit to teenager Gord's testimony and challenged it in court instead of considering it as important, relevant evidence. But Police were under an obligation to tell the defense about these boys' testimony. Worse yet, the police recreation of the boys eyewitness account of having seen Steven and Lynne on the bridge, established the boys could have seen and identified them. In court, prosecutors knowingly lied by saying it was not possible, when they had proven it could have happened.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Gord and the other boys contacted Steven's defense lawyers on their own. The girl who offered testimony that Steven tried to have an assignation with her, had one problem, her testimony in court did not match the LONG AND DETAILED statement she gave police on the 10th of June. Did police and prosecutors coerce or implore her to "improve" her testimony to "help" her friend, Lynne?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">When Lynne's body was recovered, her body was already out of rigor mortis, which is one of the main ways to determine time of death, without that, it is much harder to give a precise time of death. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>Rigor Mortis is Latin and means, roughly, a body frozen in one position. It occurs because calcium is being released by the muscles of a dead person, which causes a person's muscles to constrict and tighten into one position. It starts at roughly 4 hours and begins to fade at 8 hours. After this process is over, the body becomes limp. </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Science today shows food digestion can be greatly affected by stress, emotions, depression, exhilaration, exercise, recreation or the type of food eaten. It is a much, much less the exact science the coroner deceptively portrayed it to be at Steven's trial. At Steven's appeal, the current Medical Examiner admitted the original coroner was WRONG/mistaken, stating the murder probably occurred within the 4 hour window, 7 to 11 PM on June 9th, but could have even occurred as late as the next day, July 10th. He also testified that the original coroner's testimony was fraudulent. There was NO scientific basis for him giving the time of Lynne's death a 30 minute window between 7 and 7:30 PM. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">One other thing to consider, Steven Truscott was an intelligent kid. He knew everyone on the playground had seen him leave with Lynne at 7:10 PM. He knew he needed to be home by about 8:15 PM. He reappeared at the playground at 7:40 PM. Unless Steven was incredibly arrogant or stupid, he would have known he would be the natural, possibly the only suspect, if Lynne disappeared/turned up dead that night. Steven was neither, so he would have planned a much different scenario for that evening if he had been the perpetrator as opposed to being the second innocent victim that evening. Proving the truth lay elsewhere.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">7:10 PM Steven Truscott and Lynne Harper leave Air Marshal Hugh Campbell School</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">7:40 PM Steven Truscott reappears at the School, calm, cool and normal, he plays with his friends for another 25 minutes before going home.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">8:10 PM Steven Truscott arrives home to babysit his siblings.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Everyone agrees with these are facts. Using Steven's timeline, it was impossible for him to have committed the crime. Which explains why police called all six boys, who were eyewitnesses, liars. And one other thing, Steven was a good student and in the upper 1/4 of his class. Wouldn't he have chosen a day on which he was NOT seen by multiple witnesses with Lynne Harper, if he was up to no good? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">By the police version of events, this could NOT be the timeline of a teenage boy who wanted to make-out with a teenage girl. This had to be a cold-blooded killer, one who intended, from the very beginning, to rape and murder a classmate he had known and liked his whole life. And he barely had any time to accomplish the task. To believe the police timeline of events, the whole criminal enterprise had to be accomplished within 10 minutes, after subtracting approximately 20 +/- minutes of travel time. Is ten minutes enough time to rape and strangle a girl fighting for her life without any trace of the life and death struggle on your clothes or person, no cuts, no bruises no scratches? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">7) </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Truscott’s lawyers put forward an alternate possible, indeed probable, suspect in the murder — Air Force Sergeant Alexander Kalichuk. Kalichuk was transferred from Clinton two years before Lynne Harper's murder, but was seen visiting friends in the community several times since, right up to the time of Lynne's murder. Three weeks before Lynne's murder, Kalichuk had been arrested in St. Thomas, Ontario for attempting to lure a 12-year-old girl into his car. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">On another occasion, Sgt. Kalichuk ran across 3 little girls on a rural Ontario road. He engaged one of the girls, an 11-year-old, in conversation while her friends continued on home, eventually Kalichuk's conversation turned to an offer to "buy this girl new panties," when one of the girls' Dad approached the car and Kalichuk quickly departed. Kalichuk was arrested, but quickly got bailed out. At his trial the judge threw the case because of "insufficient" evidence. Odd, a stranger stopping on a rural road and offering to buy your 11-year-old daughter panties is not enough evidence of inappropriate conduct? Even after learning this same man had multiple sexual incidents involving little girls over a decade. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">RAINN, Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network, a group which tracks rape and abuse of children, reports only 1/3 of cases are ever reported to police. Sometimes this is because they child does not report the attack to their parents, at other times, the parents choose not to report the crime, so they won't have to put the child through any additional trauma. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>This indicates that the multiple incidents of child abuse/molestation for which Sgt. Kalichuk is known and suspected to have committed, could only be the tip of the iceberg.</b> We don't know if he ever committed any violent attacks, rape or murder before. Between police, prosecutors and the military giving Kalichuk multiple passes, the real extent of his criminal history will never be known. Since Sgt. Kalichuk was never investigated for Lynne's rape and murder, there are so many things we don't know. He should have been the first suspect, a well known child molester, who hunted little girls in Lynne's neighborhood. Many questions would have been answered if Kalichuk had been given a full physical exam immediately after Lynne's body was found. Steven was forced to strip naked in front of police in an effort to find wounds, cuts and bruises from a struggle on his body. There were none. One wonders whether these wounds would have been found on Sgt. Kalichuk's body? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">For the several years Sgt. Alexander Kalichuk (1923-1975) was stationed in Clinton Ontario, where his supervisor was Lynne Harper's Dad. Kalichuk knew her Dad, he knew her family and he knew Lynne. Lynne would have trusted him. What made Lynne's family furious, no one, not even Lynne's father, knew about Kalichuk's multiple run-ins with police involving inappropriate, criminal contact with children. You can explain one incident as a mistake, but an avalanche of accusations? These criminal, perverted acts are a part of the record, traced back to the year 1950 when Sgt. Kalichuk was arrested TWICE for indecent exposure to underage little girls. Somehow, in regard to many of these charges against Kalichuk, prosecutors repeatedly made a choice not to pursue criminal sanctions or jail against this serial child molester. Many times the charges were simply dropped by police and prosecutors with no explanation. And the Canadian Royal Air Force made a conscious decision NOT to kick Kalichuk out of the service</b><b style="font-family: inherit;">. </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>An official Canadian Air Force psychological profile of Kalichuk from the 1950's was surrendered to Steven's Attorneys in regard to his 2007 appeal. Canadian Air Force Psychiatrists had determined that Kalichuk was a threat to children and might not warrant retention in the military. This assessment was made in the middle 1950's, but apparently no one ever acted on it. </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Less than two weeks after Lynne's death, on July 22, 1959, Sgt.

Kalichuk exhibited behaviors, which it can be argued, show consciousness of guilt. Kalichuk sold his practically brand new car less than two weeks after Lynne's murder. A few days later his superiors reported, independently, that Kalichuk appeared nervous, paranoid, depressed in the days after June 9th, the day of Lynne's murder. They pressured him into getting a mental health exam, which directly led to him checking himself into a military mental health facility for observation on June 22, 1959. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Like Ross Sullivan the likely Zodiac Killer and Richard Tuite the likely suspect in the Stephanie Crowe murder, the evidence is there if anyone ever took the time to look at it.

A few weeks later, in the written opinion Steven Truscott was declared factually INNOCENT and the Ontario government awarded him $6,500,000 in damages in 2007. </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">What do Law and Order conservative "pro-life" "christians" say if they EXECUTE AN INNOCENT 13/14-YEAR-OLD BOY? </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><b>WHOOPS? </b></span></h1><div><span style="color: red; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: red; font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span><b style="color: red; font-family: times; font-size: xx-large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-e7rmPf5myJ5chjcw_W_QKRwJWZZLjLrSrwk7wYiScsJosUDm842pbSJYii2pKFENRljyCPnvma5ZH0scuCPgtgtzjLnaO-WKea8JFUnhF6AZzh4YxGedxmIeWbZWHV4ojn2KVoj3Qz8z/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="444" data-original-width="270" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-e7rmPf5myJ5chjcw_W_QKRwJWZZLjLrSrwk7wYiScsJosUDm842pbSJYii2pKFENRljyCPnvma5ZH0scuCPgtgtzjLnaO-WKea8JFUnhF6AZzh4YxGedxmIeWbZWHV4ojn2KVoj3Qz8z/w243-h400/image.png" width="243" /></a></div><br /></b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Elijah McClain</b> was a gentle black young man who went to the 7/11 in Aurora Colorado for a bottle of ice tea on August 24, 2019. While walking back to his apartment at 10:23 PM, police stopped him because he was wearing a hoodie and ski mask in the breezy 66 degree weather. Concert Violinist and massage therapist Elijah explained he was severely anemic and got cold easily. After explaining this to the officers, the situation immediately escalated, even though they had NO EVIDENCE of a crime. Police ignored his pleas. Police would later say Elijah was uncooperative, which caused them to wrestle him to the ground and beat him. Elijah appeared to be having a panic attack/seizure, so police called paramedics. Police demanded the paramedics give Elijah the powerful sedative/</span>anesthesia Ketamine, which is more famous as a DATE RAPE DRUG. The Paramedics at first refused, they argued Elijah was having a panic attack, he just needed to be calmed down, at which point the police officers on scene threatened to arrest the paramedics or get them fired if they didn't follow their order. So the paramedics administered Ketamine. The drug caused Elijah to have a heart attack, he died three days later. The officers involved made a JOKE video of the incident, during which they laughed and smiled. The UNECESSARY Death of an innocent person is NOT funny. </span></span></div><div><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCo_XibFkgsC_Nn1f2EbNF5V_-VFMqocjP0SDAi4TXaHya2LTk1_4Sw7t71x9pRWaby2cCvMRZwecyg-S2AWShmgRAInjQC09trG9C-17l8ZzzWLoR8wt55AHvrfp2t_cXLt_eX2aydBOl/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="558" data-original-width="992" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCo_XibFkgsC_Nn1f2EbNF5V_-VFMqocjP0SDAi4TXaHya2LTk1_4Sw7t71x9pRWaby2cCvMRZwecyg-S2AWShmgRAInjQC09trG9C-17l8ZzzWLoR8wt55AHvrfp2t_cXLt_eX2aydBOl/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">There is NOTHING funny about the death of an innocent person, except to police officers like these. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg41rL3lUZzW9VaLTLYdrKsHDsqsuNDh74J6Ink8v9xiigZ_wiFdEg0YBvizU-H5m63vrekdfFva5V7Gu6yKnZLdaECQOa65oQ4NkdjqHUsClfNSujMFTCQCFyFEIrRmlard2TePKUyy8Gr/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg41rL3lUZzW9VaLTLYdrKsHDsqsuNDh74J6Ink8v9xiigZ_wiFdEg0YBvizU-H5m63vrekdfFva5V7Gu6yKnZLdaECQOa65oQ4NkdjqHUsClfNSujMFTCQCFyFEIrRmlard2TePKUyy8Gr/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheuhTt11ybwPjwilHd1s0Gn4AFB8xUyGXSaipfygfazSvz9LusOwP6QjT7l1ayO-wYHRLdgKZhKHXmGbeUWtCucfYjGfkQJCZv7zzusD5FTRIQR6KRkYCxs4SI2IWsd-oMf0Y9Sza9DHIV/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="843" data-original-width="474" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheuhTt11ybwPjwilHd1s0Gn4AFB8xUyGXSaipfygfazSvz9LusOwP6QjT7l1ayO-wYHRLdgKZhKHXmGbeUWtCucfYjGfkQJCZv7zzusD5FTRIQR6KRkYCxs4SI2IWsd-oMf0Y9Sza9DHIV/w225-h400/image.png" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span></div>But it didn't end there, Aurora Republican DA David Young, ordered police to break up a violin concert memorial service for Elijah McClain.

If he saw teenagers and/or young adults, he would follow them in his high speed boat, looking for kids drinking beers, smoking marijuana, littering, checking speeding over the 10 MPH limit, he wrote a ticket to everyone he could, arresting the rest. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Officer Piercy favorite haunt was a hidden dock by a lakeside bar where lots of beer was served. He saw young Brandon Ellingson leave the bar/restaurant mooring and immediately gave chase, pulling the boy over and arresting him on suspicion of boating while intoxicated. He handcuffed the boy's hands behind his back, then draped a life jacket over his head, not physically attaching it to the boy in anyway, not even putting the boy's hands through the arm holes. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Piercy immediately raced back to the Lake Patrol holding cell. At some point he hit another boat's wake and Brandon was thrown into the water. His life jacket immediately came off and because he was handcuffed behind his back, Brandon could not swim and immediately started to drown, going under water </span><span>for the last time 2 minutes later. Girls in a neighboring boat screamed at the overweight officer to jump in and save the boy. He didn't for another two minutes. When he couldn't find Brandon, he got on his radio, telling HQ that the boy may have jump overboard and tried to escape.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Officer Piercy radioed that he was only going 10 MPH, the posted speed limit. His immediate supervisor, Sergeant Randy Henry had </span><span>given Officer Piercy verbal warnings about speeding. When his GPS was checked, it showed he was going 43 MPH 4 TIMES THE SPEED LIMIT. Each Patrol Vehicle has an onboard camera aimed at the cabin, all of the video of which is stored on a SD Card which was found to be missing. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Missouri State Patrol Officers, the Local Republican District Attorney and the Missouri Republican Attorney General IMMEDIATELY came to Officer Piercy's defense, but his immediate supervisor Sergeant Henry contacted members of the state legislature and the press, saying everyone was engaging in a cover-up to protect Officer Piercy. Sergeant Henry was IMMEDIATELY demoted to corporal and transferred to another lake several miles away from the Lake of the Ozarks where he had served for almost 30 years, then pressured to retire. At this point, Retired Sergeant Henry began a crusade to get a Special Prosecutor appointed to look into the matter. By then the press picked up the story, demanding action, leading to the Attorney General bowing to pressure and appointing a Special Prosecutor, who charged Officer Piercy with negligent homicide. He received 10 days in jail, but the court allowed him to keep his license. But the Missouri State Patrol revoked his Peace Officer License. Piercy sued them and he was given a $200,000 settlement. Another Republican Judge ordered the Missouri State Patrol to give Piercy his license and his job back. But an Appeals court finally upheld his license revocation.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">While Brandon's family sued the Missouri State Patrol, TAXPAYERS had to pay Brandon's family $9,000,000. So Officer Piercy made $200,000, spent 10 days in jail and lost his license, while Sergeant Henry was demoted to corporal and forced to retire. Brandon Ellingson paid for all of this with his life. The Blue Wall is alive and well, while Brandon is not.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Brandon's family views Sergeant/Corporal Henry as the only real law officer seeking justice in this whole story. He did what was right at great personal sacrifice. To me, Sergeant Henry is a hero. </span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuEAsQ_VekGnS905U2Z9yC-q8LKFimRfCMgzlLpl1fi2BsF_dxjyeL9Qk_rP_S2PoPb0p1i6mXooyB5uoIAuJiFOlhrUZCtSdJS3G1D7mPtNRNcJNFxeVOJH8keNkJMFJiw0gyzHbnwMWA/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1459" data-original-width="1140" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuEAsQ_VekGnS905U2Z9yC-q8LKFimRfCMgzlLpl1fi2BsF_dxjyeL9Qk_rP_S2PoPb0p1i6mXooyB5uoIAuJiFOlhrUZCtSdJS3G1D7mPtNRNcJNFxeVOJH8keNkJMFJiw0gyzHbnwMWA/w313-h400/image.png" width="313" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Officer Anthony Piercy receiving the good news from a Republican Judge that he will get his job back.

Any kid would have enjoyed the experience of working there, because it was a wonderland full of adventure for kids as young as Matthew and Karen But what should amaze you, only a very few kids have had the courage to walk away from success in Hollywood, because a normal life with normal friends was far more important to them. That is my definition of a real man, who possesses courage and character. Such a man was 12-year-old Matthew Garber, who quit acting after filming Disney's The Gnome-Mobile (1967) because some things were more important to him than money, success and popularity. That is a sign of good parents and strong character, a real man, because most people, most of us, would be seduced by sycophants, being catered to, popularity and money that Hollywood success has to offer.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjSFpaAtVKezapWAinM3xjfIM_1z7tRp2GVK5OFFE7u0GbAmVlGJSvTEcSafTERiPkHK1gSekHhRFefxr8Nnt4lKp-AGKuvcjx5MUHBS18-wdpE231LV3e0W-9ASDlwgCRK_mj0eEN1dmWk_qg0Cfej2NZARiKT6OQw6Jclpey0w37RVqBA4F89yrincX4F" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="436" data-original-width="800" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjSFpaAtVKezapWAinM3xjfIM_1z7tRp2GVK5OFFE7u0GbAmVlGJSvTEcSafTERiPkHK1gSekHhRFefxr8Nnt4lKp-AGKuvcjx5MUHBS18-wdpE231LV3e0W-9ASDlwgCRK_mj0eEN1dmWk_qg0Cfej2NZARiKT6OQw6Jclpey0w37RVqBA4F89yrincX4F=w400-h217" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Disney where magic is made.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgIko_SOFQujDcLQcWDOMsoJMUpzOvMeuvp4YjJJSrxWhyp6U1fIiR5Pyc0BYc9CV2jmsBClkxar0U35zeDrtm6HKZJIRTfk4uyY954Odr0Lx91a1RsDIxLd_X69V1aRlcP3u8sIWFEV_sMv0DfK4ij0zPFKItGcbems3rTeutQ6Dga0OD_lvT_tFcTQ6hm" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="608" data-original-width="640" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgIko_SOFQujDcLQcWDOMsoJMUpzOvMeuvp4YjJJSrxWhyp6U1fIiR5Pyc0BYc9CV2jmsBClkxar0U35zeDrtm6HKZJIRTfk4uyY954Odr0Lx91a1RsDIxLd_X69V1aRlcP3u8sIWFEV_sMv0DfK4ij0zPFKItGcbems3rTeutQ6Dga0OD_lvT_tFcTQ6hm=w400-h379" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg393AGzdnSbc9iwO3_61dIFebfTdW-rwEdOO79EOlWluFNyW3J4rvKhSwJdJrgdXRai1IV_g9k3e6jrk_GMtc3sWB_-hjtZ0pqi4sjD5NVmvZBBlii93c4T0F3nmbcTg_dzGPnmflDWDcoHISiVfK_sIg28zjmoS8vd0FLMrz5dZLSHdRkTNnZTLncFZvM" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="600" data-original-width="1180" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg393AGzdnSbc9iwO3_61dIFebfTdW-rwEdOO79EOlWluFNyW3J4rvKhSwJdJrgdXRai1IV_g9k3e6jrk_GMtc3sWB_-hjtZ0pqi4sjD5NVmvZBBlii93c4T0F3nmbcTg_dzGPnmflDWDcoHISiVfK_sIg28zjmoS8vd0FLMrz5dZLSHdRkTNnZTLncFZvM=w400-h204" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQpCwixRmKCqqIzjwd4VeunnNHXSmE1UW6VlRLqoD3-a64Wp4OYkeuR-G4fuPeQJ9JmHZde8TyinQP9btOeN1vBtPxxch5ekk0spdQiu3m2sPCliJu9FPIFzaxmMebyL8c5LnIdP8aAEFhG1qDo-qfn5h_dB9P3HFE3DvI7nCD0P3muO4782J9pBrUhsnf" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1892" data-original-width="2500" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQpCwixRmKCqqIzjwd4VeunnNHXSmE1UW6VlRLqoD3-a64Wp4OYkeuR-G4fuPeQJ9JmHZde8TyinQP9btOeN1vBtPxxch5ekk0spdQiu3m2sPCliJu9FPIFzaxmMebyL8c5LnIdP8aAEFhG1qDo-qfn5h_dB9P3HFE3DvI7nCD0P3muO4782J9pBrUhsnf=w400-h303" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>Matthew was born in Stepney, in the greater London area of the UK on March 25, 1956 When Matthew wasn't making movies he was a student at St. Paul's Primary School and Highgate School in Winchmore Hill, North London, from September 1968 until July 1972</span><span> in north London.

While in India he caught hepatitis from eating contaminated food from an outdoor food kiosk. Hospitalized almost immediately because it was obvious that he was seriously ill, Matthew became sicker and sicker, His dad decided he needed to get back to England, so he was repatriated to the UK, but by then the disease had spread to his pancreas. On 13 June 1977, he died at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, London, of hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis, aged 21. Matthew made the decision while in the hospital in England that he did NOT want to be buried, preferring to be cremated. He obviously knew how sick he was and handled his impending death with maturity and calmness. Matthew was cremated with his ashes spread in the Willow Tree Garden at the East Finchley Cemetery 122 E End Rd, London N2 0RZ, United Kingdom. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgCIO4TrqUsNoUmdcxZyX-P7TRdV-98Cy7unGLC1BLaF8zR6aD7Yyf44cOPxQQmNxyW24VcNrnfceLsVRM6jJ8SZ4tIlKWGU7517tUuLnWDLUrD1qDwM5Sv75edH88SX4kTjZPT3zpnnPigCcaq0b7oTU8NIGbzColzdFJX8kxLR9iSiLOGz38zrAn2xtBN" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="810" data-original-width="540" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgCIO4TrqUsNoUmdcxZyX-P7TRdV-98Cy7unGLC1BLaF8zR6aD7Yyf44cOPxQQmNxyW24VcNrnfceLsVRM6jJ8SZ4tIlKWGU7517tUuLnWDLUrD1qDwM5Sv75edH88SX4kTjZPT3zpnnPigCcaq0b7oTU8NIGbzColzdFJX8kxLR9iSiLOGz38zrAn2xtBN=w267-h400" width="267" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBI-6Wxj6rKwaYs8JJqmfcvf5C6jh_2sLFiQFkDSSOQ-eHgKxQcCAIBtvSFgYXUxYHpk-7QetpmR7NbjXay1MkGDXpvoKSPTZlEhiSDI_s3mNkEpvpGzSDZ-E0ptOp1tmnlaBl-ki_nyY50Y-mvWZGuHPVjHne_KkICx7T2aN0Oyb2RvomdguJ0SGQxJua" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="250" data-original-width="400" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBI-6Wxj6rKwaYs8JJqmfcvf5C6jh_2sLFiQFkDSSOQ-eHgKxQcCAIBtvSFgYXUxYHpk-7QetpmR7NbjXay1MkGDXpvoKSPTZlEhiSDI_s3mNkEpvpGzSDZ-E0ptOp1tmnlaBl-ki_nyY50Y-mvWZGuHPVjHne_KkICx7T2aN0Oyb2RvomdguJ0SGQxJua=w400-h250" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiIlhYo_lxzbD6s9wThpH82gbF0TqibpDFnAvFWpvhwtl5nsVKsuMuTO68PltiXR03lJ3dLJF5I3AmIQkHDfDYBGri09_1juhOj3UaeCkPpMSECCbl7DSqdPZU3dgROhgsTcToXI_RpjGUnCnaofyMuuCA3DCulDPcWIqi-RaVSUaFkgI0W8bFLrz-luvn-" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="404" data-original-width="605" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiIlhYo_lxzbD6s9wThpH82gbF0TqibpDFnAvFWpvhwtl5nsVKsuMuTO68PltiXR03lJ3dLJF5I3AmIQkHDfDYBGri09_1juhOj3UaeCkPpMSECCbl7DSqdPZU3dgROhgsTcToXI_RpjGUnCnaofyMuuCA3DCulDPcWIqi-RaVSUaFkgI0W8bFLrz-luvn-=w400-h268" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><br />Matthew Garber at 11-years-old in 1967, from the Disney movie "The Gnome-Mobile" with Karen Dotrice and Walter Brennan.

The family shied away from giving interviews after Matthew's death, except for his then 13-year-old brother Fergus, who revealed in a spontaneous interview that he was very angry that some people suggested that Matthew had a drug problem, which he didn't. But like any adventurous teenager, getting the taste of a fascinating foreign county, meant eating their local food. Matthew would stop at outdoor kiosks as he traveled through India to sample native Indian cuisine. Of course, at the time food regulations in India were nothing like they were in the US and UK and some of the food he ate turned out to be contaminated with hepatitis.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

NOT ONCE have they ever offered any proof.</b> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">No where in any of the press reports or medical reports of the time are there any legitimate sources referring to Matthew's illness and death as the result of drugs. If he had needle marks from heroin, there is NO WAY that would not have made the papers. And it didn't. Matthew had no criminal record, no arrests, nothing. Not even for marijuana which millions of kids were experimenting with at the time, much less the very much more serious offense of heroin use. You can't keep something like that secret. If you had a heroin addiction, the police would know, someone would have tipped them off to get themselves out of trouble. And the press would have already known. Read up on Rupert Murdoch and the scandal sheets in the UK, they would love this kind of story, regardless of the damage it did to one young man and his family. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Remember, Matthew was accompanied to India by his Dad and Disney chaperones. His schedule was meticulously planned, very tight, because frugality was something Walt Disney and his studio were always famous for. They never wasted money, every second was planned in advance, ever cent spent and accounted before the trip ever left England. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">How was he supposed to make a connection? He didn't know who to buy drugs from, he didn't know which section of the several cities the promotional trip visited to look for them and he had no time to find them on his own. He would have NO IDEA where to look. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Matthew was very close to his family and his dad, particularly. He wouldn't have put his dad in a situation like dealing with this, of having to bail him out of an arrest on a PUBLICITY TOUR. Matthew was both well educated and intelligent.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Some scandal magazine/newspaper would have loved a story like that. But without proof and out of fear of being sued, they never printed that story. Shame on anyone who ever smeared Matthew and his family with this fictional story. It hurt them and his brother Fergus said it hurt him, a 13-year-old boy who looked up to his older brother as a good guy and his mentor.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjUho-mwhb7eWOx23kI7fZ8olBbRUIFjfEoGB4iV8-UoVceIuGXmKDlpLRKDgFNdkgBH1zjaOwbF7K35gnScRweLcl_GnhgDZxeOpccYC4voUDl3bB0an3fvB6I_UNhzq79CG7KS8ExncRaXNWNz3yNm9pbqwo6PCLYExN7Sr-toZjnqnfDh_pEpY5xbXdx" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="2310" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjUho-mwhb7eWOx23kI7fZ8olBbRUIFjfEoGB4iV8-UoVceIuGXmKDlpLRKDgFNdkgBH1zjaOwbF7K35gnScRweLcl_GnhgDZxeOpccYC4voUDl3bB0an3fvB6I_UNhzq79CG7KS8ExncRaXNWNz3yNm9pbqwo6PCLYExN7Sr-toZjnqnfDh_pEpY5xbXdx=w308-h400" width="308" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj-1vBGnfACtXXX4Y5UCgGpDAKG7m-unMR9F2ifVjABWr4O9rkfCjAHFGYiBS8ZM4b0WLaWbtONWZvqVPN_NAF2Pw5qSFLLrrRIj-1bXdyhTRPODcSxh-ZSFRJpK4y6bpPt1S9LbAKpGcF2oHgFjICDLwCeaPGnuzk5le9m89BWSqSHQ-3PXvC4mwkuJmIs" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj-1vBGnfACtXXX4Y5UCgGpDAKG7m-unMR9F2ifVjABWr4O9rkfCjAHFGYiBS8ZM4b0WLaWbtONWZvqVPN_NAF2Pw5qSFLLrrRIj-1bXdyhTRPODcSxh-ZSFRJpK4y6bpPt1S9LbAKpGcF2oHgFjICDLwCeaPGnuzk5le9m89BWSqSHQ-3PXvC4mwkuJmIs=w320-h400" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It reminds me of Trump supporter and former child star Scott Baio. He appeared as the love interest of Erin Moran of Happy Days and later their own show Joanie Loves Chachi in the 1970's, early 1980's. The press reported Erin's death and immediately sought out former castmates including Scott and asked them for comments. Every one of the cast only had kind words about knowing Erin and their personal friendships off the set. Marion Ross said Erin was like a daughter to her. There was one exception:<b> Scott Baio offered his unsolicited opinion that is what happens when you are a drug addict.</b> Scott's comments made the front pages of scandal magazines across the country and further. It was a lie and he was a liar.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Scott hadn't seen Erin in ten years and hadn't had a personal conversation with her since Joanie Loves Chachi went off the air in 1983. They had never been particularly close on the set and were not really friends, basically just co-workers. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In fact, Erin died at age 56, she was born October 18, 1960 in Burbank, California and died April 22, 2017 in New Salisbury, Indiana; <b>ERIN DIED FROM STAGE FOUR THROAT CANCER.</b> There were NO DRUGS in her system when she passed away.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Erin's husband was so upset at what Scott said that he banned him from Erin's funeral.

Roger Ebert said it is one of the most beautifully filmed movies, which it is, odd for a horror movie. It is the ending which will give you the real feeling of the season. One of the twins is killed before the movie starts and his brother slips into insanity, but we don't know this until the end. The other brother still thinks his mischievous brother is still alive and up to no good, but loyalty comes first, so he covers up for him. The family "helps" the surviving twin, by pretending to go along with the boy's delusions. We don't know this, we only see both brothers and their mischief, then the carnage which results. The Twins are played by the Udvanorky twins, "their" acting completely pulls us in. Directed by "Summer of '42" (1971) and "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1963) Robert Mulligan, it is a masterpiece of horror and a psychological thriller. The boys were born in Michael "Bowling for Columbine/Roger and Me" Moore's hometown of Flint Michigan. They were discovered by acting coach Uta Hagen who plays the boys grandmother in the film. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiMcC2lcQtTsEPO_v3ocEyrBcZwnF81TE6r5juKmFQpqd_uugGKq2THeRQEEA4kpQKiTWJUoJflZpf6-tCL_49QuwoNc-pIhZfJ1Dz4GNQT6UhzV0OGEYiNuE7e-KTcVpW2EYg_ODNwBa4Msm8JScCZem89MWofHyMZAskiyJBJG_0qoG86XaRogKHyU0fs" style="margin-left: 1em;

After the fourth year of Hazel, the producers and studio moved the show to CBS after NBC cancelled it. They also fired Don DeFore and Whitney Blake to save money and brought in newcomers to play George Baxter's brother, his wife and daughter. Shirley was supposed to become their maid, until George and his family returned from overseas. Shirley was ambivalent about continuing on the show, but told friends later that she and Bobby had become very close during the four years the show had been on NBC, she felt that she had become a part of his family because she genuinely cared about him. Shirley, after speaking to Bobby first, then his parents, said she would only continue with the show, if Bobby continued on the show as well and he did NOT have to accept a pay cut. CBS agreed to give Shirley this one request and the show continued for one more season.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp2-dJO-njN9TMcnQpgWc9MwvrT1OcEJ1AfURBKHm6mkHpRLV06FFyYWH1_IhnW4lspPAa6FAVT59uTl2qyvvqXdsuNzItbItIo794GHbJjheKJDP1eYdIjHUwEjAo6k4f6TZNX4sav9OC/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="274" data-original-width="184" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp2-dJO-njN9TMcnQpgWc9MwvrT1OcEJ1AfURBKHm6mkHpRLV06FFyYWH1_IhnW4lspPAa6FAVT59uTl2qyvvqXdsuNzItbItIo794GHbJjheKJDP1eYdIjHUwEjAo6k4f6TZNX4sav9OC/w268-h400/image.png" width="268" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvdEQDjzmkDcf5Jqag9igksmwFrcvwS68REvYgAWsh9b9ZhHqKLuuHctBSbW3uNw5Pi2qTV3UkXaJV0IMC6GoCYQXsnmo-J8TIsa2XHKMZbUIlUx60KUS2KHsMKE1DmDFnI7CT-Ov4MuYp/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvdEQDjzmkDcf5Jqag9igksmwFrcvwS68REvYgAWsh9b9ZhHqKLuuHctBSbW3uNw5Pi2qTV3UkXaJV0IMC6GoCYQXsnmo-J8TIsa2XHKMZbUIlUx60KUS2KHsMKE1DmDFnI7CT-Ov4MuYp/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Masquerade (1967) Bobby's last acting role</span></div></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzK7Csb-ViJ7N8sFzUHUTe_QVtb37YnMTw9DYrsMR5-uqBLHco3lkgEnOHFlzQr1Z0KLWV9Ngqy1af0AIIE3xXuB9JRUw9OR3Vqscud-KbQqNydjuz0pR9qZtW0g4bi3N9NYYOVWfLhQnh/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="234" data-original-width="216" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzK7Csb-ViJ7N8sFzUHUTe_QVtb37YnMTw9DYrsMR5-uqBLHco3lkgEnOHFlzQr1Z0KLWV9Ngqy1af0AIIE3xXuB9JRUw9OR3Vqscud-KbQqNydjuz0pR9qZtW0g4bi3N9NYYOVWfLhQnh/w370-h400/image.png" width="370" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVz8QJykWuiB0G_nvBq8XaahGHQCpslPWyLxVfqds6eyJM2IVI8kXVrQ1Aks1DzVNz-ZQtec-aLwzM7Gk80Ua6taB-CUpFsL_j4XVx0wT-i3-R6LkjotPtQRTgXoo3h_MgbPTOUnuzhpd_/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="533" data-original-width="800" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVz8QJykWuiB0G_nvBq8XaahGHQCpslPWyLxVfqds6eyJM2IVI8kXVrQ1Aks1DzVNz-ZQtec-aLwzM7Gk80Ua6taB-CUpFsL_j4XVx0wT-i3-R6LkjotPtQRTgXoo3h_MgbPTOUnuzhpd_/w400-h266/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Keystone South Dakota, population 311 in 2000</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: medium;">Note Bobby is giving the Peace Sign. Bobby served in the National Guard when he graduated from high school. One piece of folklore needs to be dispelled. Bobby's mom died of cancer, not in a car wreck, important considering what happened to Bobby. <br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">While driving home, Bobby came to a bridge in his home town Keystone, South Dakota, which is located within a couple of miles of Mount Rushmore. The bridge Bobby crossed was under repair because of the GREAT Rapid City Flood of 1972. The bridge had no guard rails and had a huge hole in the edge of its bed, Since it was at twilight, Bobby couldn't see clearly and accidentally drove into the hole, at which point, his car flipped over before hitting the water. It was a cool evening and his windows were up. The water pressure against his door could have been measured at over one ton. When Bobby tried to open the door, he found out that it was impossible. You have between 2 to 4 minutes for the average passenger compartment to fill with water after going into river or the ocean. You must think quickly. Thought it is counter intuitive, ROLL DOWN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND TRY TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE OPENING. Regrettably, Bobby didn't realize in his panic/terror that he could have rolled down his window and escaped that way, his best chance of survival, which would have negated the water pressure issue.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I may be wrong, but I believe that this is the intersection and bridge at which Bobby's accident occurred. Of course, it has been reconstructed after the terrible Black Hills Flood of January 10, 1972, which killed 238 people. People saw Bobby's car go into the river and immediately got help for him, but it was too late. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The only clue I had was it was described as a Y-Shaped bridge near Keystone under which Battle Creek runs and this is the only one which fits that I see. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

One day Bob went with a friend to audition for the Dobie Gillis TV Show. Bob worked as a postman during the summer and decided to tag along. The producers noticed Bob's unique appearance and asked him to audition too. Producers were impressed with Bob's ability as a quick study and his convincing reading of the script. Despite portraying two less than brilliant characters, beatnik Maynard G. Krebs and sailor Willie Gilligan, Bob was actually very intelligent and well read. An audition showed he could act too. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Bob was actually an excellent student and very smart, though somewhat shy.

He invited Bob to come to an audition with him for a new show Dobie Gillis. The casting director was looking for a beatnik and ignored Bob's friend and chose Bob for the role. This led to Gilligan's Island. Now, did you know Bob had a famous ancestor? His Great, Great Grandfather was Union General James Denver in the Civil War. As if that wasn't enough, James Denver became Territorial Governor of Kansas. And a last footnote, the city of Denver Colorado is named for him.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7X2uLGTG6cdbd1fgcG9-LmwyhQgqt11gXWk5nW-3wnthXB6uPJl_-DkNVNBAyn60mksdgrUoarB8wRDEtHGETNxuPRwiUbp1DGTQMYa0rUAIMry4d-Ahil0kZbVeEtBy3Fnp0qKuA0XNr/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1544" data-original-width="1234" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7X2uLGTG6cdbd1fgcG9-LmwyhQgqt11gXWk5nW-3wnthXB6uPJl_-DkNVNBAyn60mksdgrUoarB8wRDEtHGETNxuPRwiUbp1DGTQMYa0rUAIMry4d-Ahil0kZbVeEtBy3Fnp0qKuA0XNr/w320-h400/image.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />Bob Denver and his Dobie Gillis co-star Dwayne Hickman went to college together at Loyola Marymount. Co-Star Sheila Kuehl, Zelda, tells the story of what kind of guy Bob really was. On a publicity trip to Birmingham Alabama at the Dinkweiler Hotel in 1962. They visited the big Birmingham hospital but were shown only white children, they spent an hour talking to them. Then they had heard black doctors and children were in the basement, so they went to speak to them too. Later Sheila and Bob shared an elevator at their hotel with three young white boys, about college age, and a black woman who operated the elevator. The three young "men" started verbally abusing the woman and Bob stood up for her and told them to shut-up, fist flew and Bob ended up with a bloody nose and a few bruises, but he did what was right. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8X3NQtQeLE6emdqBRuDhU3YmNgY3KsPNmYUBxDM0dLo2OB_4mERcZHyiJZ0O30G2W44cKRNy_Vc_9S-snOih6WnGWbkQNDav6yxK8JX-PadFlgAWU7MCmYI8Jqp7VER70eDQCRPyR2bc9/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="768" data-original-width="768" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8X3NQtQeLE6emdqBRuDhU3YmNgY3KsPNmYUBxDM0dLo2OB_4mERcZHyiJZ0O30G2W44cKRNy_Vc_9S-snOih6WnGWbkQNDav6yxK8JX-PadFlgAWU7MCmYI8Jqp7VER70eDQCRPyR2bc9/w400-h400/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />1966 Teen Awards, Kurt Russell (the son of stuntman Bing Russell), Bob Denver (Gilligan's Island), Veronica Cartwright (The Birds), Bill Mumy (Lost in Space), and Jay North (Dennis the Menace)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggOdOH-sQ0sdHUBkdvReA2gDk4riUog5VOIG6_KVBLoUmURbiZZwKKA1WgX6XZITAdl75o4dd2CMp-2qRP2qJSJDH413O-MX_cJYEncSnBdma8TiLnQItRCEElT0oj9j4MONn5kdcDjF8Z/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="600" data-original-width="450" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggOdOH-sQ0sdHUBkdvReA2gDk4riUog5VOIG6_KVBLoUmURbiZZwKKA1WgX6XZITAdl75o4dd2CMp-2qRP2qJSJDH413O-MX_cJYEncSnBdma8TiLnQItRCEElT0oj9j4MONn5kdcDjF8Z/w300-h400/image.png" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYcAniYCtcoarfHFKaw48KYYQ2d4A8UfVq7kqnel5QlQV38X17ELqG2HNv5iV8T6sYbqlbUsNhTZ1tXVAGhIodB4WwSGKqHAlkr2wDJ8NCGQ5gwmag7-RjU3IlskKgrw0U3dhtLFii_-sp/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="354" data-original-width="200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYcAniYCtcoarfHFKaw48KYYQ2d4A8UfVq7kqnel5QlQV38X17ELqG2HNv5iV8T6sYbqlbUsNhTZ1tXVAGhIodB4WwSGKqHAlkr2wDJ8NCGQ5gwmag7-RjU3IlskKgrw0U3dhtLFii_-sp/w227-h400/image.png" width="227" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Alan Hale was specifically chosen by Gilligan's Island producer Sherwood Schwartz to audition for the role of the "Skipper," Jonas Grumby because he was known as a hail fellow well met. Friendly and engaging, occasionally blowing hot air but always a nice guy underneath. He was cast perfectly. Alan was a trooper too. During filming Alan broke his arm falling from a tree. He didn't tell anyone, betrayed no pain working several hours after the incident, but asked if he could come in a little late the next morning. He showed up in a cast. The costumer got him a long sleeve blue polo shirt to hide his low profile cast, which Alan asked the doctor to make and continued shooting. Producer Sherwood Schwartz did not know anything about it until several weeks later, when he noticed Alan's long sleeve shirts watching the show on TV at home. Bob Denver remembers early in the series Alan would apologize to him for hitting him, in line with his character. Bob told him it was OK. Alan was by nature a gentle soul who cared about people and probably was the most popular member of the cast because he played exactly who he was. </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdYt_am__cs1wts17Tbrs5k0O9Z7x4cdcZo-rTd3qSV5pegIpWPHUMAO_jZejRruAB4jX37JjGIfK6TiukrwkkYxVbGPQdx7c4n93CsEqCy6Whl8qydJeZsgFiTh7skl-wRa3UoJLI0wht/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1200" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdYt_am__cs1wts17Tbrs5k0O9Z7x4cdcZo-rTd3qSV5pegIpWPHUMAO_jZejRruAB4jX37JjGIfK6TiukrwkkYxVbGPQdx7c4n93CsEqCy6Whl8qydJeZsgFiTh7skl-wRa3UoJLI0wht/w400-h210/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIVIlvZcMUxREJUyY6Ve6GOznCTZoCewNnMa_H3Ja8kalP4Y0bsrzATwYlBfha9kh0UnoQ6pxYMpzHSHMyWceAhRs_ZhnL4ejsZBpOQ_Tf5cv2TLkOVjwyiTSz19rtYLX3B34PxQwKkIgs/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1641" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIVIlvZcMUxREJUyY6Ve6GOznCTZoCewNnMa_H3Ja8kalP4Y0bsrzATwYlBfha9kh0UnoQ6pxYMpzHSHMyWceAhRs_ZhnL4ejsZBpOQ_Tf5cv2TLkOVjwyiTSz19rtYLX3B34PxQwKkIgs/" width="374" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Alan opened a seafood restaurant after the end of Gilligan and served as his own host.

Harry Cohn of Columbia Studios was the Harvey Weinstein of his generation. He had a casting couch and all new young female stars to be were expected to give in. Catholic Gloria Henry refused his advances and he black-balled her. When Harry died, Screen Gems head Jackie Cooper, called her and offered to help her find work. Screen Gems was a division of Columbia Studios. Jackie considered it his job to undo damage Harry caused. This led to Gloria being cast as Dennis the Menace's mother. Jay North said she was a source of solace, a gentle, kind soul, while his aunt and uncle who accompanied him to the studio and acted as his guardians treated him as a possession. His abusive aunt would not let him talk, hang around with or be friends with the other kids on the show. To 10-year-old Jay North success on a hit TV Show meant loneliness and abuse.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqw0xDxWZJI22A9b0aqB-sN08Ac6x7djiWaFq2lkfjEvwN_ENh5xG7GbX5-z_TXZaI0qnrX_pMrZeNIq9BvqLIa2dnQTm7EtH5APa1aOfa5U6aya78RvBIa9ILRRszQreYeZooduDciQbx/" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: 32px; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img data-original-height="394" data-original-width="671" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqw0xDxWZJI22A9b0aqB-sN08Ac6x7djiWaFq2lkfjEvwN_ENh5xG7GbX5-z_TXZaI0qnrX_pMrZeNIq9BvqLIa2dnQTm7EtH5APa1aOfa5U6aya78RvBIa9ILRRszQreYeZooduDciQbx/w400-h235/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Harry Cohn also screwed the Three Stooges the biggest money makers for Columbia.

He could have allowed himself to get caught up in his own success. Jim made the choice to not let success change him. Jim has campaigned to save Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the environment and opposed draconian Republican Budget Cuts, affecting mostly the elderly and poor. The credit goes to Jim's Moms and Dad. Jim's Dad was laid-off from his job as an accountant, the family lost their home during a severe recession of the late 1970's. While Canada was in a recession, the Carrey family was experiencing their own GREAT DEPRESSION. At one point the family was forced to live in their van. They were forced to all get jobs, sometimes meals consisted of ketchup packets from fast food restaurants. But Mom and Dad always kept the family going by using humor to survive, allowing them to navigate the perilous shoals of despair during the dark times. When Jim's Dad died, Jim put a check for $10,000,000 in his casket as a way of thanking him. Today that check would have sailed through Jim's account.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmeN4iZ6ZpPJqG8gcxhFRGF4VmoZ0k_xtMlWePve46nl8RjjaN81qRAUefEnraMbRw7XPE7PTtzq5C6Pj8scE4-8IPr9Y_PYr76pfPZb81kwCqRMr8K3avCVxmyo6VFMOcX2kjdSHKTHOb/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="353" data-original-width="468" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmeN4iZ6ZpPJqG8gcxhFRGF4VmoZ0k_xtMlWePve46nl8RjjaN81qRAUefEnraMbRw7XPE7PTtzq5C6Pj8scE4-8IPr9Y_PYr76pfPZb81kwCqRMr8K3avCVxmyo6VFMOcX2kjdSHKTHOb/" width="318" /></a></div><br /><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgjV2sNu4JCCOBWZU8Z-r51RcrgR8uwRt3nODX5zup3K5FMUxISwAeySNyT0nW6O2V-ly3lI1RviSgsqNxcJtAuGNjbvDzpA8_fjxTOz7clSK6noJy7th3kE4lJcQjRH2Ol1Gc6RU2iCkN/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="182" data-original-width="276" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgjV2sNu4JCCOBWZU8Z-r51RcrgR8uwRt3nODX5zup3K5FMUxISwAeySNyT0nW6O2V-ly3lI1RviSgsqNxcJtAuGNjbvDzpA8_fjxTOz7clSK6noJy7th3kE4lJcQjRH2Ol1Gc6RU2iCkN/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifFlB7tw0oNBR-93Bj9qTcHttsko_VR9Q_D2UFpM0m5VqK67wZPaZB5fWbEOhOUyYLO8IRDOaR_-LqVOeHjfiPKUkVOf-pKgc-UUHb5ImAIiTDD17bc8T3zhegNdLwcajELnWpEBDOK1NO8CKMLo-OBFIJi36miGOryMPo_0c5lclT588XPVMGqQG_xQ/s526/jim%20carrey%201967.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="514" data-original-width="526" height="391" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifFlB7tw0oNBR-93Bj9qTcHttsko_VR9Q_D2UFpM0m5VqK67wZPaZB5fWbEOhOUyYLO8IRDOaR_-LqVOeHjfiPKUkVOf-pKgc-UUHb5ImAIiTDD17bc8T3zhegNdLwcajELnWpEBDOK1NO8CKMLo-OBFIJi36miGOryMPo_0c5lclT588XPVMGqQG_xQ/w400-h391/jim%20carrey%201967.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Irish David Mullins' younger brother Charlie in tears after big brother wins the Grand National Horse Race.

Abraham was an extraordinarily hard working boy, putting in hard labor from dawn to sundown on the Lincoln farm. For which he was never paid, since this was his family, plus his family had no money to pay him. Nor did Abraham ever offer one word of complaint. But then his Dad, Thomas Lincoln hired Abe to work on other people's farms. All the money from Lincoln's labor went to his Dad. Years later Abe told his friend Josh Speed that was why he opposed slavery, because, as a kid, he had been one, working long hours for someone else for no pay. Abraham Lincoln was lucky in one regard, after his mom died, his stepmom, Sarah would work extra jobs to earn money to buy Abe books to read. She was a gentle soul who appreciated Abe's character, diligence and desire to improve himself. They were each other's greatest hero. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Sherman said the luckiest day of the Georgia campaign was when Jefferson Davis replaced brilliant General Joe Johnston with General John Bell Hood. Johnston followed Roman General Fabius and the tactics he used successfully battle Hannibal during the Punic War. Instead of pitched battles, Johnston would use constant skirmishes and flanking maneuvers stretching Sherman's March from Chattanooga Tennessee to Atlanta, Georgia to months. Johnston's subordinate Hood had been secretly been badmouthing his commander, Johnston, angling to get his job. On July 17th 1864, Confederate President Jefferson Davis replaced General Johnston with General Hood. Sherman began his march on May 4 1864, by July Johnston had withdrawn to Atlanta's suburbs. Upon taking command, Hood unleashed four reckless attacks on Sherman's forces, losing all four, which cost him the Battle of Atlanta by September 2, Atlanta was surrendered to Sherman. Later Hood launched an ill advised attack at Franklin Tennessee, in which he destroyed what remained of his army. Veterans of Johnston's Army of the Tennessee never forgave Confederate President Jefferson Davis or General Hood for the debacle of replacing General Johnston.</span></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhrO0v3Dlx8PT5wV7Dz-1htu1lzhhHzOe7kpkaOqsumwyqx6siVxNG58pftY02PadTr5KO349_VQuaWTZQYHC-XONRlfJ83ZsLSKWM8IGoKWS6dxMtoI1-RXTIAvZlO_A7QmBd-x8_GyqF/s1024/Union+Sherman+at+Atlanta.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="875" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhrO0v3Dlx8PT5wV7Dz-1htu1lzhhHzOe7kpkaOqsumwyqx6siVxNG58pftY02PadTr5KO349_VQuaWTZQYHC-XONRlfJ83ZsLSKWM8IGoKWS6dxMtoI1-RXTIAvZlO_A7QmBd-x8_GyqF/s320/Union+Sherman+at+Atlanta.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQDzoMVV0VN2a-eA6Vejw6jsmhMluDK02rhis5xb9vC1EDVUyojaiuBeKN_xN0bxjGgv3UNyIl-XC1DyB-bcwPTlqDC8Y_hgRMO3X2hkZqRHYS2P_fky_JvBx3vyeSyUaZZi7KFiMrqggi/s634/tumblr_inline_nhczy06Khz1qce1ag.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="634" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQDzoMVV0VN2a-eA6Vejw6jsmhMluDK02rhis5xb9vC1EDVUyojaiuBeKN_xN0bxjGgv3UNyIl-XC1DyB-bcwPTlqDC8Y_hgRMO3X2hkZqRHYS2P_fky_JvBx3vyeSyUaZZi7KFiMrqggi/s320/tumblr_inline_nhczy06Khz1qce1ag.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-uUfxXzK5zm9Cvm3QXSNoD_bS_YaCzOyqQo2TdcqnAbFQrymDiHu7mZLqBGZWXl4M6_WC8Cyq7u5k0C0zw6_L-_rAF8QqNNYZrUEsDrhCgkYO1d7F1b29HBfCRqUjC7SbIyQ4NEyrq2W/s591/Sherman+Johnston+Civil+War+-+Copy.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="542" data-original-width="591" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-uUfxXzK5zm9Cvm3QXSNoD_bS_YaCzOyqQo2TdcqnAbFQrymDiHu7mZLqBGZWXl4M6_WC8Cyq7u5k0C0zw6_L-_rAF8QqNNYZrUEsDrhCgkYO1d7F1b29HBfCRqUjC7SbIyQ4NEyrq2W/w400-h368/Sherman+Johnston+Civil+War+-+Copy.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div></div><div><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>Law and Order's Real Cases from Real Life, regardless of any disclaimers they might offer</b></span></div><div><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgroN-yb3yaetLWEt_kiegMeQIZB5A2fZ5OOVEUS8vHhwoLAMQChv8tGThdZP-ixC9Ijbu_e1Ly8VEte2G_y_KTGQaKq7X8CtCOxdb7po7Dkij_V2QgccycMurO3uCDmfLudyFRs3jy5PRf/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="718" data-original-width="634" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgroN-yb3yaetLWEt_kiegMeQIZB5A2fZ5OOVEUS8vHhwoLAMQChv8tGThdZP-ixC9Ijbu_e1Ly8VEte2G_y_KTGQaKq7X8CtCOxdb7po7Dkij_V2QgccycMurO3uCDmfLudyFRs3jy5PRf/w353-h400/image.png" width="353" /></a></div><br /></b></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggJXzMclfAp3_9lEjguSYJhaq2g_AFrJBMSLVvcq4KyFX-Q8CJ-vlvN5wAPf3ngVt49z9ys9FaFpspoPeIWgt8w-XrMnLemglRUyWS1UMOOTbcoOscMuQNd6xIZrua0T4NYNFVcJF3veCA/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="268" data-original-width="182" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggJXzMclfAp3_9lEjguSYJhaq2g_AFrJBMSLVvcq4KyFX-Q8CJ-vlvN5wAPf3ngVt49z9ys9FaFpspoPeIWgt8w-XrMnLemglRUyWS1UMOOTbcoOscMuQNd6xIZrua0T4NYNFVcJF3veCA/w272-h400/image.png" width="272" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">Law and Order "Pledge"</span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;"> S19E10 </span></b></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I remember watching a really good episode of Law and Order, about a man who kills a 12-year-old boy and his family's maid. The man, then a college student at a public university, had been kicked out of a Sorority Party he had been invited to by a rich sister who met him at a football game, apparently as a joke. The Sorority President got rid of the "bug," a boy who wasn't rich or a student at their ivy league school, without explanation. Years later he is a writer at a technical/scientific magazine, but he was still searching for the girl who invited him to the party, thinking it was the Sorority President's intervention which prevented him from finding happiness. The Sorority President became a Doctor and Scientist with her husband. The recipe for revenge. </span></div><div><span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFLUx2uZE3Hlk-BgIj4gLHYrgXrYIW300D0kAjnyAymCWxUlJg0piyha9TML3sZoq5ogHEjGa2YFQt5tQTyTpQap_4yrf2xDJ-307whZ9zgch_mnn4aN5EjJI0AjdCmQs5JTwcXc3ZIknJ/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="708" data-original-width="1171" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFLUx2uZE3Hlk-BgIj4gLHYrgXrYIW300D0kAjnyAymCWxUlJg0piyha9TML3sZoq5ogHEjGa2YFQt5tQTyTpQap_4yrf2xDJ-307whZ9zgch_mnn4aN5EjJI0AjdCmQs5JTwcXc3ZIknJ/w400-h241/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">Timothee Chalamet and his friend come home from school to play video games, the maid, tells both boys that video games are only allowed on weekends, but she has cookies in the kitchen. Disappointed, the other boy excuses himself, while Timothee goes upstairs, then there is a knock on the door. The maid is killed at the door, blood under the front door alerts a delivery man to call police, our intrepid detectives begin their investigation. They find Timothee murdered upstairs, stabbed viciously. So it is obvious, he was the target. Our detectives, Jeremy Sisto and Anthony Andrews don't even consider the idea that he had done anything to warrant the attack. The delivery man does offer one clue, a man in a nice coat, carrying a briefcase, rushes past him down the stairs on the front stoop. He hadn't noticed if came out of the house or he had been as frightened as he was by the blood under the door.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Thomas came home from school on March 13, 2008 and went to the basement to play video games when there was a knock at the door. Thomas went to the door because the family maid, Shirlee Sherman, was upstairs cleaning. It was Dr. Anthony Garcia, a graduate of the University of Utah Medical School, who had been a student in his Dad's school's pathology program until he was expelled. Of course Thomas had no knowledge of this and invites the man to enter and wait on his Dad, who should be home shortly.

The letter was signed by Drs. Hunter and Brumback. <b>Dateline NBC</b> Whenever Dr. Garcia applied for a medical job he had to tell them that he was fired from his residency program. If he didn't, once the employer checked his resume and contacted the school, they were given this report. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">Dr. Garcia told the boy he needed to see his dad, Thomas told him he would be home soon and told him he could wait. Apparently. Thomas may have offered Garcia a drink in the kitchen, after which Thomas may have intended to go back to his video game. But Garcia stole a knife chased the boy and stabbed the 11-year-old boy in his jugular vein from behind in the living room, killing the boy in less than two minutes.

As the Creighton University Dismissal letter said, he blamed others for his actions.

The Law and Order parallel exactly.

Two bored Sussex County New Jersey teenagers in 1997 decided to add some excitement to their lives, so they plotted to rob and murder a pizza delivery man. Turns out he was a schoolmate of the boys. The boys called from a payphone at a Dunkin' Donuts, placed an order for two large pizzas and waited to ambush the delivery boy then killing him. On April 19, 1997, Thomas Koskovich and Jayson Vreeland put their plan in action: they ordered a pizza and ambushed the two men who delivered it when they arrived, they then stole Georgio Gallara, 25, and Jeremy Giordano, 22, wallets, before going bowling with the money. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">The victims: Georgio Gallaria (R) had worked at the Hardyston NJ pizza shop since high school, saved his money and bought it from the original owner; employee and recent high school graduate Jeremy Giordano (L) was working his way through college. The night of the murder, the boys called several pizza shops, every one turned them down, most often because the address was too far out of town. One owner was suspicious because the caller placing the order was unsure of address/details. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">Giordano was a go getter who intended to make his restaurant a success.

Dick played a character who murdered his wife, having pretended that she was kidnapped. A photo was taken of the woman, which accompanied a ransom demand. Dick framed a former jail bird who innocently bought the camera which was used to take the photo. Dick had deliberately placed an old fashioned clock in the photo, after changing the time from 10 AM to 2 PM a time for which he would have had an alibi. Lt. Columbo, Peter Falk, pretended to have reversed the photo while developing it from the Polaroid negative, which actually showed the actual real time, for which Dick wouldn't have an alibi. Dick immediately and correctly argues the photo is reversed, then goes to a shelf in the LAPD evidence locker room and picks up the actual camera among several other Polaroid cameras, saying the Polaroid negative should still be in the camera, revealing he knew which camera took the photo.

Early the next morning they were spotted lying on the railroad track by an oncoming train, which could not stop in time, running them over. The local coroner said the boys had smoked more than 20 joints apiece and passed out on the tracks, using that to explain the boys' deaths as accidental deaths. The boys' families NEVER believed that. They paid for a second autopsy, which found THC in each boy's blood but only enough to have come from one joint shared between the two of them. The second medical examiner also found STAB WOUNDS IN THE BOYS' mutilated bodies, consistent with stab wounds he found in the boys' shirts. This was NOT a "mistake" by the original coroner. It was either gross incompetence, malfeasance or corruption. A "reform" REPUBLICAN "christian" candidate, Dan Harmon, ran for District Attorney, promising to get to the bottom of the case and bring the culprit(s) to justice. Absolutely nothing happened, after a while the case was forgotten. The boys' families were the only ones to find any new evidence.

Current thinking is that the boys stumbled on a drug plane drop and were tortured and murdered to make sure there were no witnesses.

One issue likely to get attention is his handling of a sensitive family matter: allegations that one of his sons was involved in the hanging of a stray dog at a Boy Scout camp in 1998. The incident led to the dismissal of David Huckabee, then 17, from his job as a counselor at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, Ark. It also prompted the local prosecuting attorney— bombarded with complaints generated by a national animal-rights group—to write a letter to the Arkansas state police seeking help investigating whether David and another teenager had violated state animal-cruelty laws. The state police never granted the request, and no charges were ever filed. But John Bailey, then the director of Arkansas's state police, tells NEWSWEEK that Governor Huckabee's chief of staff and personal lawyer both leaned on him to write a letter officially denying the local prosecutor's request. Bailey, a career officer who had been appointed chief by Huckabee's Democratic predecessor, said he viewed the lawyer's intervention as improper and terminated the conversation. Seven months later, he was called into Huckabee's office and fired. "I've lost confidence in your ability to do your job," Bailey says Huckabee told him. One reason Huckabee cited was "I couldn't get you to help me with my son when I had that problem," according to Bailey. "Without question, [Huckabee] was making a conscious attempt to keep the state police from investigating his son," says I. C. Smith, the former FBI chief in Little Rock, who worked closely with Bailey and called him a "courageous" and "very solid" professional. <b> Newsweek Magazine 2007</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH9n0_zZyr8Nc-rOKJKSutqFJ6txT7-lEgYGEAq9PZIFTIi7W5FauxfSqI0arJ4-G0n3deSg7kfe6BDIW3rLrcf6j6lQzKSHlcu3VcGZQHctmI5JdVY43VgFfFCHBWp1hgvfd68CFqHFkE/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="855" data-original-width="1200" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH9n0_zZyr8Nc-rOKJKSutqFJ6txT7-lEgYGEAq9PZIFTIi7W5FauxfSqI0arJ4-G0n3deSg7kfe6BDIW3rLrcf6j6lQzKSHlcu3VcGZQHctmI5JdVY43VgFfFCHBWp1hgvfd68CFqHFkE/w400-h285/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPW6lu-xRYQN2N0Le0lkDyfnBEYNZ3_TJxOlXP7FjY8JKWOuroLVC3FF2ulbskMR_1Cwh5F3ghd_AIatKg1-9BCu1T2QqQ3rPFrPn-Z191CSSDqRuEE3dT1jLiS3oN5ZFTcaMKd_RRfB98/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="384" data-original-width="682" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPW6lu-xRYQN2N0Le0lkDyfnBEYNZ3_TJxOlXP7FjY8JKWOuroLVC3FF2ulbskMR_1Cwh5F3ghd_AIatKg1-9BCu1T2QqQ3rPFrPn-Z191CSSDqRuEE3dT1jLiS3oN5ZFTcaMKd_RRfB98/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzb2KUT0IMFc5UgcBBbS3jHGQ-82_5iQQcSuAudeBwfw7Y36cS9yhGmTbHWiprl_dUD8rg4VQZ-aGK6QSItN6ne3m-32J8UWrWYHYyhiXMdBBIt68L1AOkXEyHsVweeLlMIjKldXDIoBc/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="326" data-original-width="586" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzb2KUT0IMFc5UgcBBbS3jHGQ-82_5iQQcSuAudeBwfw7Y36cS9yhGmTbHWiprl_dUD8rg4VQZ-aGK6QSItN6ne3m-32J8UWrWYHYyhiXMdBBIt68L1AOkXEyHsVweeLlMIjKldXDIoBc/w400-h223/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Remember:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Fox News was forced to admit their story about Seth Rich and the Clintons was a VICIOUS LIE.

When did you meet Baptist Preacher Mike Huckabee. Did you consult him about this case before coming forward? Did Preacher Huckabee ever give you money? Did Preacher Huckabee ever tell you what to say or to lie? When you said you or your confederates spoke of an Arkansas Politician was it Governor and Southern Baptist Preacher Mike Huckabee?

And wouldn't he have administered any "discipline/resolution" to Kevin Ives and Don Henry that his drug overlord/boss determined was appropriate? If not you, then why not you? If not you, then who? We know what the drug boss's instructions were by the fate was by the TORTURE/MURDER of these two boys? Who gave the order? Who TORTURED AND MURDERED THESE TWO BOYS IN YOUR PRESENCE? You were there NAME, NAMES. You claim to be a Christian, prove it. We are probably right to think it was not the associates who were retrieving the drugs and loading them into the vehicles did not do it---they were too busy. Killing children is not something anyone working for a drug overlord would do on their own initiative, unless it was there job or under his direct orders. Why would it not be this drug overlord's guard/enforcer/armed security guard, who would handle the problem, if not you, then who did it? NAME NAMES! Security has a specific meaning, armed and ready for any intruders, that was his job. Kevin Ives and Don Henry stumbled on this drug deal and they had to be eliminated. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpMIPF1NnV2Nimkyzf2YbUQNwyMHvXaHG5ZcWhAqPVRw29Vx1uvA0F7eUMCgjzhcthHxBbPxjJanhVceNx-INe6uDjlU52JhyfADrPdzNqTtm9DOp6zuj5JQycrFSg9tYIuXJP3de-HOkj/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="387" data-original-width="634" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpMIPF1NnV2Nimkyzf2YbUQNwyMHvXaHG5ZcWhAqPVRw29Vx1uvA0F7eUMCgjzhcthHxBbPxjJanhVceNx-INe6uDjlU52JhyfADrPdzNqTtm9DOp6zuj5JQycrFSg9tYIuXJP3de-HOkj/w400-h244/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Alexander Arkansas showing the site of the Drug Drop and Kevin Ives and Don Henry's TORTURE/MURDER</div></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It would be very suspicious to the average American for a man providing security to vicious drug dealers would also be a total innocent at one of their massacres.

In early October 1974, Ronald took out life insurance on his two kids. On Halloween night, he took his and neighbor kids trick or treating. Ronald would tell police later that at one house no one seemed to be at home, the kids ran ahead and went to the next house, he heard the door open, and a hand extended with Pixie Sticks. He told the kids they couldn't have any candy on route, they had to wait until they got home. His 8-year-old son Timothy's favorite candy was Pixie Sticks. The next morning Timothy was found dead in his bed by his mom. The Medical Examiner determined the Pixie Sticks contained Cyanide. Police discovered Ronald worked at a Drug Store. The pharmacist was a chemist and also a photographer. In September, Ronald had asked the pharmacist why he had warned him to be careful with photography chemicals the store used to develop photos. Turns out some contained Cyanide, a deadly poison, which seemed to peak Ronald's interest. He asked a lot of questions about it. At the beginning of October, Ronald bought $50,000 in life insurance on his two kids. 5 of the kids, Ronald had taken Trick or Treating had taken the Pixie Sticks. </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Police seized the other four kids' poisoned candy then arrested Ronald, who was executed in 1984.

In the middle of the Bible Belt, Macon, Georgia, widow Mrs. Anjette Lyles suffered a series of tragedies. She owned a courthouse restaurant, which was incredibly popular among judges and attorneys in Macon in the 1950's. She was twice widowed and in 1958 found herself living with her elderly former mother-in-law and two young daughters in the more affluent suburbs. Then suddenly, her apparently healthy mother-in-law got sick and died after several days later in the hospital. The Coroner attributed her death to heart disease at age 52. The elderly woman had heart disease but no symptoms. She left a $100,000 estate to be split between her daughter-in-law and surviving son.
A few months later Mrs. Lyles 9-year-old daughter Marcia suddenly passed away.
A black employee at her restaurant had noticed strange behavior, which made her child's death much more suspicious. Mrs. Lyles would bring food to her former mother-in-law in the hospital from the restaurant. She would take food off the line and place it in a paper bag. The cook noticed she had another paper bag which she brought with her to work that day. Mrs. Lyles took both bags into the lady's room for a few minutes before departing for the hospital. The black employee, then heard that Mrs. Lyles 8-year-old daughter had a $1750 life insurance policy, $1,750 in 1958 is worth $15,926.45 today.
The black employee sent an anonymous letter to police about Ms. Lyles strange behavior while preparing meals for her hospitalized mother-in-law, pointing out, that she had never heard of an 8-year-old having life insurance which aroused her suspicions. The police asked the coroner to do an in depth autopsy of the little girl, which detected the poison arsenic. They then proceeded to autopsy her mother in law and two ex-husbands, finding arsenic in all four deceased relatives. The coroner would later explain, you look for obvious conditions, like heart disease when determining cause of death, which the first three victims possessed to one degree or another.
Poison would only be suspected in people in perfect health, like Mrs. Lyles daughter Marcia, but NO ONE would suspect a mother of murdering her own 8-year-old daughter. Marcia Lyles death would normally have been attributed to causes unknown/undetermined. That is until the anonymous tip was received by police. Ms. Lyles had murdered her first husband when she was 26 for $3,000 life insurance. 2nd husband Ben Lyles carried $20,000 in GI Bill Life Insurance.

</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">A case worthy of Forensic Files, already made into the excellent drama Alpha Dog with Justin Timberlake and Emile Hirsch, the story of the murder of Nicholas Markowitz by teenage drug supplier Jesse James Hollywood over a $1200 debt Ben Markowitz, Nicholas half brother, owed Jesse. Both Jesse and Ben played Little League together in their affluent neighborhood and had gone to school together since first grade. Hollywood's mom and dad were involved in the drug business. Nicholas was a somewhat shy boy who was a bookworm. A good kid and popular with those who knew him. He didn't deserve what was about to happen to him. Teenager Jesse made so much money selling marijuana for them that he was able to buy a home with cash in his affluent suburban neighborhood. A few thousand dollars in debt had grown into feud, Jesse was looking for revenge. He and his buddies went looking for Ben to give him a beating. But they couldn't find Ben, instead they spotted Ben's 15-year-old brother Nicholas. On the spot they made the decision to kidnap Nicholas and hold him for ransom on the debt. Innocent teenager Nicholas would never come home alive. Nikolas was held as a friendly hostage for a couple of days, including partying at the Lemon Tree Inn in Santa Barbara, then someone told Jesse James Hollywood that kidnapping was a Federal Crime warranting decades in prison. At that moment Jesse panicked. He immediately began liquidating bank accounts and decided they had to kill the boy. Jesse's entourage took 15-year-old Nicholas up in the mountains along a hiking path, bound his hands. Nicholas's last few minutes of life were lived in total terror. He knew that he wasn't coming back alive. One of the boys, Ryan Hoyt, slammed a shovel against Nicholas's head, knocking him into the grave, then pulled out his gun and unleashed a barrage of bullets from his Tec-9, nine of which ripped through Nicholas's body. The boys then covered Nicholas's body and his grave with dirt and leaves, but sloppily left one of Nicholas's legs above ground. Hikers a couple of days later were concerned by a noxious odor they smelled along the hiking trail, which led them to discover Nicholas's grave. </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Eventually the boys were caught, but Jesse was able to escape to Brazil where he remained for 5 years, but even he was eventually arrested and brought back. The boy who shot Nicholas, Ryan Hoyt, got the death penalty and Jesse got life in prison. All the other boys got much shorter sentences. Ryan Hoyt said something incredible when he was arrested, apparently thinking it mitigated his guilt. He told police he shot and killed Nicholas, but had nothing to do with digging his grave.</span></span></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuvDyROD7Wfu8c7qJg6dUDP8erVcpoSbj2oRNFm4xfXLlo9u9zxemzzvK4O22QaZM-mpzCfYAb87AhHxr83KQ_3zfGpvtX81h7E-oGf92ES0oD7qEn6FXVsK0WrMKtHwUSmufT_WtmDNKJ/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="477" data-original-width="426" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuvDyROD7Wfu8c7qJg6dUDP8erVcpoSbj2oRNFm4xfXLlo9u9zxemzzvK4O22QaZM-mpzCfYAb87AhHxr83KQ_3zfGpvtX81h7E-oGf92ES0oD7qEn6FXVsK0WrMKtHwUSmufT_WtmDNKJ/w357-h400/image.png" width="357" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A Memorial Page in Nicholas's Memory</div><a href="https://nicholasmarkowitz.com/">https://nicholasmarkowitz.com/</a></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Mom's Murder Most Foul</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">Just saw an Unsolved Mysteries with Dennis Farina. Dennis successfully played gangsters in movies, including the great Midnight Run with Robert DeNiro. Later he played a detective on Law and Order for two years. In real life Dennis actually served 20 years as a Chicago Detective before advising Director Michael Mann in his movie "Thief" (1981), which was filmed in Chicago, Dennis made such a strong impression on Mann, that he was offered a part in the movie. The Unsolved Mystery story was about Audrey Marie Hilley of Anniston Alabama, in the heart of the Bible Belt. She and her husband were elders in their Anniston First Baptist Church. Her teenage son got mysteriously and seriously ill immediately before going away to college. Even though he still felt sick, the boy decided to leave for school regardless. While at school, he got a message that his dad had suddenly gotten ill. Within days he was dead. The hospital said that his Dad had hepatitis and cascading organ failure. A few months later, their daughter suddenly got sick. She would eventually be paralyzed from the waist down. While treating her paralysis, doctors noticed white lines across her fingernails, a presumptive sign of arsenic poisoning. Tests proved they were correct. Audrey Hilley fled, an autopsy confirmed her husband died of arsenic. Poisons are only apparent when you have reason to suspect them. A normal autopsy does not test for poison. Turns out Audrey Hilley has taken out $25,000 life insurance policies on her husband, daughter and son. She fled the jurisdiction for Florida after her daughter's poisoning was discovered. I can NOT understand anyone who would do this.</span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">

The police case was 100% circumstantial. Kevin and Nona were having sex, so there was no need to rape her.

He is someone everyone likes. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">“Ben did his own thing. He was a free- spirited boy, and he was extremely trusting,” said his father, a cabinet maker in Cayucos, Calif., where Ben grew up fearless and unafraid of a vagabond's life. “He had such a great heart, but he didn’t see danger where I saw danger.” Ben gets around hitchhiking to his next snowboarding site. He carries with him his $1000 ultimate snowboard. He disappears and for over four months, during which nothing is heard from him, then tourists at Wyoming's Boar's Tusk Mountain find a skeleton still wearing pants, shirt, shoes and jacket. The pants still include a wallet which identifies the body as Ben's. Ben had been beaten, his skull crushed by blows from a blunt instruments and he has been stabbed to death. Then a man brings Ben's backpack to police. Eventually, this man and three of his friends are suspected of killing Ben. One confesses, all four arrested, then the man who confessed, retracts his confession, the local Republican "LAW AND ORDER" DA drops the case against all four local boys.

The next day, he was caught and returned most of the money, but was nevertheless arrested on July 9 and spent the night in jail. </div></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvubUddKb0PO4dW1Auhv-2iPGOWLWT6tTo8royE6HiY9a_mS1U-YmTTFccNgnFjxQVWPUpDZsoGGpunWCvP-7K8KoMsVBDdTMNSR3Y-XuQ2ydB1kNEzQJjCAiDwaceAo6EkAMKvpSxt9oA/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1384" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvubUddKb0PO4dW1Auhv-2iPGOWLWT6tTo8royE6HiY9a_mS1U-YmTTFccNgnFjxQVWPUpDZsoGGpunWCvP-7K8KoMsVBDdTMNSR3Y-XuQ2ydB1kNEzQJjCAiDwaceAo6EkAMKvpSxt9oA/w270-h400/image.png" width="270" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNRvGIasCvxEbT1ZrZ9deYzRQOSf1iSaUGdsNsIUpfzgkNftRiQQe4K8qb-MEkCcHFzPFBPR4GzDDRCt8IXV145-s4FenxKVTRCF0PZhv2SzSXB_c0-FrhI2tHs2Og3h7l77PDqM0H0GCE/" style="background-color: transparent; clear: left; float: left; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1920" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNRvGIasCvxEbT1ZrZ9deYzRQOSf1iSaUGdsNsIUpfzgkNftRiQQe4K8qb-MEkCcHFzPFBPR4GzDDRCt8IXV145-s4FenxKVTRCF0PZhv2SzSXB_c0-FrhI2tHs2Og3h7l77PDqM0H0GCE/w400-h266/image.png" width="400" /></a></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNRvGIasCvxEbT1ZrZ9deYzRQOSf1iSaUGdsNsIUpfzgkNftRiQQe4K8qb-MEkCcHFzPFBPR4GzDDRCt8IXV145-s4FenxKVTRCF0PZhv2SzSXB_c0-FrhI2tHs2Og3h7l77PDqM0H0GCE/" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNRvGIasCvxEbT1ZrZ9deYzRQOSf1iSaUGdsNsIUpfzgkNftRiQQe4K8qb-MEkCcHFzPFBPR4GzDDRCt8IXV145-s4FenxKVTRCF0PZhv2SzSXB_c0-FrhI2tHs2Og3h7l77PDqM0H0GCE/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFBq55tdcdChEgHKo7uqNvpghtS_e-qIFVg80guUREgSkCqXgTA4lG5JH66yIgN_-XFhYYZ4TlIU-xVpb2bAEC1QfjtapeucK-hKVm7VvqwY9j6EBoozHIZtVYySP0KYsTzprunm4CtoBt/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="244" data-original-width="207" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFBq55tdcdChEgHKo7uqNvpghtS_e-qIFVg80guUREgSkCqXgTA4lG5JH66yIgN_-XFhYYZ4TlIU-xVpb2bAEC1QfjtapeucK-hKVm7VvqwY9j6EBoozHIZtVYySP0KYsTzprunm4CtoBt/" width="204" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">On July 14 he spent the night with his girlfriend and left town, leaving a cryptic text on his girlfriend's phone that said, "Goodbye Megan."

No credible sightings were reported until February 2010 when a lady named Linda Curl, a worker at a Salvation Army soup kitchen in Cheyenne, claimed that she had seen Bradyn at the kitchen. She said he appeared well nourished and "didn't look homeless." She called the number on the flier, which had been posted around Cheyenne. According to her, he continued to frequent the kitchen, though police were never able to pin him down. In December 2010, Linda turned over to the police a receipt from the Salvation Army filled out by a man calling himself "Brad Fuksa." According to Bradyn's mother, the handwriting did not match her son's, but the signature did.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Sadly, in May 2015, the remains of Bradyn Fuksa were discovered by hikers at the foot of Casper Mountain in Casper, WY, 70 miles from where his car was found and 175 miles from Cheyenne, WY. According to the 911 call, the body had decomposed to a skeleton and was wearing jeans, a coat, and boots. His bag was there, including medications bottles with labels too worn to read, as well as his parents' pistol. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Make sure your kid knows that if he ever finds himself in a financial bind he can turn to you.

(AP) Charlie Ely, a girl Seath liked called Seath and invited him to Haynes house where Bargo, Amber Wright's new boyfriend, her half-brother Kyle Hooper and their friends waited. Then Amber texted Seath to come to bury the hatchet. The second Seath arrived the boys began beating him with things like an ax-handle. Bargo then shot Seath with a .22 bullet. They took Seath to the trailer bathtub, retrieve some knives and hatchets, stripped the boy naked, possibly sexually torturing/castrating the boy, but stopped when they realized he was still alive. So Bargo then shot him several more times.

Norman was a popular high school student who loved the outdoors. He knew his family’s 122 acre property like the back of his hand. According to Norman Ladner Sr., his son was late coming home:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“Norman would always be back 7 to 7:30 in the afternoon or in the evening. And about seven o’clock, I began to get worried about him because he was very punctual and it was most unusual.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">When Norman Sr. searched the property, he found his son lying on the ground:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“I knelt down by him and felt that he was cold, so I knew he had been dead for a while. It’s a deep shock and a tragedy to find your own son dead, because you could never imagine or think how this could happen until you’ve experienced it, gone through it.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">A single gunshot to the head had taken the young man’s life. Just after 10 PM, the Sheriff’s Department arrived. They roped off the area and began their investigation. From the start, Pearl River County Sheriff Lorance Lumpkin said he didn’t suspect a crime had occurred:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“Foul play is the first thing that I normally address in the course of an investigation. I ruled it out in this instance because I saw nothing there to indicate that. At first I thought it might’ve been an accident. It looked as though he might have been in a tree nearby and subsequently fallen out of the tree and the gun discharged.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Norman’s father said the coroner also told him that it was an accidental death:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“The coroner came back to the store after the results of his examination, and he came up with two deputies and he said that he felt that he was 90% sure that it was an accidental shooting.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">However, Norman’s family was in for a terrible shock. When the official ruling came down, the coroner said Norman did not die from an accident: he committed suicide. The coroner’s decision was based on the fact that Norman died from a close contact head wound. The bullet entered his right temple and exited his left. It was a very typical suicide wound. Sheriff Lumpkin speculated:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“I think that he went back into an area where he felt comfortable and for reasons that we don’t know, that he decided to take his life.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Norman Sr. couldn’t see how that was possible:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“I knew my son too well. He enjoyed and he lived life to the fullest. He was happy. He was outgoing. He was not depressed in anyway. They made no attempt to locate the bullet. They never fingerprinted the gun. They cannot say that his gun was the weapon that was used to kill him.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">There were other problems. Norman’s wallet with $140 dollars was missing. He had a 1 ¼ inch long cut on top of his head. If Norman had committed suicide, how did that cut get there? Authorities said the head wound was caused by a bloody tree root found at the scene. Again, Norman Sr. didn’t see how that was possible:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“We didn’t see how that could happen because falling straight back you would hit your head on the side or directly in the back, not up in the crown of your head, up in the peak of his head.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Norman’s parents began their own investigation. They dug in the dirt area where their son had fallen to see if they could find the bullet that had taken his life. Norman Sr. found a bullet:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“We found a bullet that was longer than a bullet that Norman’s gun would hold. The chamber was not bored out for the length of that bullet. And it had dried blood and a hair when we examined it under the magnifying glass.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Sheriff Lumpkin doesn’t think the Ladners found the bullet that killed Norman:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“We don’t have any reason to believe that it was the bullet that was fired that caused the boy’s death, mainly because we feel that the boy was standing at the time that the gun was fired. And if that being the case, it would not have been in the ground underneath his head.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Norman’s mother had a different theory:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“We came to the conclusion that he was lying on the ground and he was shot by someone in a standing position.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The Ladners gave the bullet to a state ballistics expert, but he couldn’t tell if it had come from Norman’s rifle. And, when they were given back the bullet, they claim it was not the same one they had found. A few weeks later, Norman’s parents went to the coroner’s office to question his ruling. His mother said a stranger interrupted their conversation:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“He said Mrs. Ladner, don’t open this case up. You have other children. I suggest you raise them for your own good. You’ll never find the person that killed your son. And then he left.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Unfazed, Norman’s father returned to the area where his son had died. Three hundred yards away, he found a strange, radio-like device, a transponder, that looked home-made.

Irish-American Errol Flynn was born in Australia but grew up in Tasmania where his father was a professor. Errol had worked on a plantation in his teens and early 20's from which he caught Malaria which was to plague him the rest of his life.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Errol was as reckless and brave off screen as he was on screen. To the total shock of Warner Brother's Studio Chief Jack Warner, Errol took part in the Spanish Civil War of the late 1930's on the side of the Republican forces. He was wounded and earned the respect of his fellow freedom fighters. Ernest Hemingway who served with him, called him a true hero. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEievD83aBOcBo4EQvuOswY4pmI20pW7sZOll2EO_AcUJ460BLs9iIGgXvVsMNGVbshuIPVmu4fLdWlDn5OkT4ZRi7n90TYI_NSTw0fgt3ruNpNLfJMzBGa3t6M3bSO0fuRhj6z9NjS5ssN7X1yy7RFRLryMAKy8I9RCsX2zA0FzAZCSZMKPmPh4P1l2HF2l" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1389" data-original-width="1887" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEievD83aBOcBo4EQvuOswY4pmI20pW7sZOll2EO_AcUJ460BLs9iIGgXvVsMNGVbshuIPVmu4fLdWlDn5OkT4ZRi7n90TYI_NSTw0fgt3ruNpNLfJMzBGa3t6M3bSO0fuRhj6z9NjS5ssN7X1yy7RFRLryMAKy8I9RCsX2zA0FzAZCSZMKPmPh4P1l2HF2l=w400-h295" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjxYAPC4zRG1e5faUevOHVATr8JmT1lXMgKUvNqFNfVslh-RL2y01mQcvncJD592IludgxnU-vHbwrweemqOYbigYPu7jBSZ3hnIeafnLZdAD_AQC-BCO8Cx45WL9QXTmCZQj7KY3QGSsOzGdah09b7cdlLOPWO6UfqXTut8oC6Af_KP8JhIVvYBU0mjCNt" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="642" data-original-width="424" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjxYAPC4zRG1e5faUevOHVATr8JmT1lXMgKUvNqFNfVslh-RL2y01mQcvncJD592IludgxnU-vHbwrweemqOYbigYPu7jBSZ3hnIeafnLZdAD_AQC-BCO8Cx45WL9QXTmCZQj7KY3QGSsOzGdah09b7cdlLOPWO6UfqXTut8oC6Af_KP8JhIVvYBU0mjCNt=w265-h400" width="265" /></a></div><br /></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Immediately after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Errol applied for American citizenship so he could fight for US in World War II. Jack Warner learned of this and secretly released to the Department of Defense Errol's last studio medical exam which disclosed that Errol had recurring malaria, an enlarged heart, cirrhosis of the liver, from excessive drinking, and congestive heart failure. Errol was turned down for military service but a Hollywood Gossip Reporter told him that it was Jack Warner who sabotaged his patriotic service. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Errol immediately began his own campaign against Jack Warner. He would call his dad in Tasmania 8,000 miles away on a studio phone between filming scenes for his latest movie never hanging up even when he went back to shoot the next scene, these calls were hugely expensive. In the early 1940's long distance between LA and Tasmania cost $50 for a three minute call, the average wage in the US was $1400 a year at the time. These calls ran into $10,000's. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Errol was accused of statutory rape in the early 1940's, but beat the charges because his attorney Jerry Geisler convinced the jury that Errol did not know two of his "dates" were underage. Geisler was able to show that one of the girls had had an abortion prior to meeting Errol and both had been described as promiscuous by friends and family, the other serving time in juvenile. Geisler took considerable time in cross examining the girls to question their hair styles and clothes chosen by the DA/Police, which were designed to make them look much younger than they were. One of the girls showed up in court in pigtails, which Geisler got her to admit she had not worn for over five years, since she was 12-years-old. Geisler forced the girls to admit they constantly lied about their ages and had offered sex to various people, including sailors on shore leave. Jurors said that every lie the girls told on questioning by the district attorney, trying to portray them as innocent virgins, revealed by Geisler's questioning totally destroyed their testimony. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Coincidentally, at the same time a scandal broke in the LA papers that the LA District Attorney's Office was corrupt, extorting money from the studios to cover up scandals for a fee. When Jack Warner did not come up with the money, the DA charged Errol with the crime. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhCxPJuKie1INWTGK6JCBmJGg-SdLG8NqUBVevnlZQn5k3zej_SpH37aN1XaG9jcu7EN53cT2Gg1ZdaDbTQbRvISCoFaV1_9GqzYWC_ZT3pG2aPeoYhRIwv7oht2kVyKlCyt1dnpLvw0fFFh76_Pxc5VenDmC_rmeJIHB40t2GQS7cHRxUF1PlyCUu6sTe0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="189" data-original-width="266" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhCxPJuKie1INWTGK6JCBmJGg-SdLG8NqUBVevnlZQn5k3zej_SpH37aN1XaG9jcu7EN53cT2Gg1ZdaDbTQbRvISCoFaV1_9GqzYWC_ZT3pG2aPeoYhRIwv7oht2kVyKlCyt1dnpLvw0fFFh76_Pxc5VenDmC_rmeJIHB40t2GQS7cHRxUF1PlyCUu6sTe0" width="320" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A book came out in the 1970's which claimed, a total fabrication, that Errol Flynn was a Nazi Spy, No one who fought against Franco and the Nazi Condor Legion in Spain would spy for them in the US. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiv1iQItd7qsxz2jKCXkXziebj4wYo20abA61WTKRWZjM6QsEkDGzBBGstoh2oCVZ_u6TIXv-0Df5XSICasZZmwo7PdjAcY41Y4b7-WVnxMkM9JgFzXWC9Bd2JUbra6erw8NpMAWiqOP2TocKc2HTs8MyfzNxJiRKddfdZl6hYM5vKBfRMzRAGNuyvuAhZk" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1200" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiv1iQItd7qsxz2jKCXkXziebj4wYo20abA61WTKRWZjM6QsEkDGzBBGstoh2oCVZ_u6TIXv-0Df5XSICasZZmwo7PdjAcY41Y4b7-WVnxMkM9JgFzXWC9Bd2JUbra6erw8NpMAWiqOP2TocKc2HTs8MyfzNxJiRKddfdZl6hYM5vKBfRMzRAGNuyvuAhZk=w400-h210" width="400" /></a></div><br />One of Errol's closest friends and neighbors in Jamaica was Naval Commander and MI6 Agent Ian Fleming the creator of James Bond, 007, shown here with Sean Connery.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgse_b-G1etzcc9IUPljllIksAEkGUAG0UDzwtaHRYjHx70WemOT-2FvYfogEMjP2VHLLCSGbH1--GnnrS9DvJQY9lx9iZcCSaMeGe9L8tQV3Q9-Txr1NoRax3wYt9PJqSsZKuUxfRHGJL7oEY-8lqX7lqiWzCGA_br9eFr9rYrac7EZgFL2PZQcuUglQ5E" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1440" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgse_b-G1etzcc9IUPljllIksAEkGUAG0UDzwtaHRYjHx70WemOT-2FvYfogEMjP2VHLLCSGbH1--GnnrS9DvJQY9lx9iZcCSaMeGe9L8tQV3Q9-Txr1NoRax3wYt9PJqSsZKuUxfRHGJL7oEY-8lqX7lqiWzCGA_br9eFr9rYrac7EZgFL2PZQcuUglQ5E=w400-h266" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Errol did get into tax trouble in his later years and semi-retired to Jamaica where he opened a hotel.

Charlie at first covered-up for Caril, then admitted that she was an active participant in the murder of one girl, whom she repeatedly stabbed after Charlie raped and shot the girl and her boyfriend. He also claimed she knew exactly what happened as it happened during the spree proven because she never attempted to get away from him until they were caught in Wyoming. The DA and Police made Caril cut her hair to make her look much older than her 13-years to help convict her. Looking back at the evidence and testimony, they didn't need to do that, which I consider totally dishonest, just like the DA in Errol's case making the girls wear pig tales and school girl clothes in order to convict Errol. Knowing the facts I would have voted to convict Caril for the murders too even with long hair. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg83eU7iFUgPh9mGP2tx1Y6RZYlBHG52qmiLdXInrAt8kegS4vMQnYBIzLPInaHo95IWshN9Z_i18SjrOdIqCHvt5GLqC_6_6vnVbYPZSLCXFdZ-hOh_PHuqUf_uAYLNgv1rpkCD1yAm__5sHAXYgRVorgMXU76-2ulXn4zobpxlJFsv5__MkewAITJQKTI" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="2484" data-original-width="2134" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg83eU7iFUgPh9mGP2tx1Y6RZYlBHG52qmiLdXInrAt8kegS4vMQnYBIzLPInaHo95IWshN9Z_i18SjrOdIqCHvt5GLqC_6_6vnVbYPZSLCXFdZ-hOh_PHuqUf_uAYLNgv1rpkCD1yAm__5sHAXYgRVorgMXU76-2ulXn4zobpxlJFsv5__MkewAITJQKTI=w343-h400" width="343" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhvt6coe9V10ExywKLYkFslTPNH0tGAxcRUG_1gUabUyu_gzqz-psyilwQLvP-R2fhu-nOi4uPMVCdNTT88a7MWzCgNQMqvPnzwPUZTKCCkxjiWqTBzJ2ldiZxaVvVwfkKUV2pLmWqsKBNLwWhCHX0ebhNMNpPi2Tk65aGZyc33RNG-I0AxlQL4E9_oQ2a9" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="500" data-original-width="750" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhvt6coe9V10ExywKLYkFslTPNH0tGAxcRUG_1gUabUyu_gzqz-psyilwQLvP-R2fhu-nOi4uPMVCdNTT88a7MWzCgNQMqvPnzwPUZTKCCkxjiWqTBzJ2ldiZxaVvVwfkKUV2pLmWqsKBNLwWhCHX0ebhNMNpPi2Tk65aGZyc33RNG-I0AxlQL4E9_oQ2a9=w400-h266" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Another Great Hero: King Christian X of Denmark</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">During WWII, King Christian X of Denmark did the strangest thing. Before the war, he had taken a cavalry detachment of several 100 horseback soldiers and paraded through the capital of Copenhagen every day, like the English changing of the guard. After Hitler's Nazi invasion of Denmark in 1940, King Christian X continued to ride his horse from the royal palace through the capital city of Copenhagen, but he made the choice to ride alone among his people. Christian X made a point of returning the salute of anyone who offered him their salute, whether a 10-year-old boy or a 90-year-old retiree. At first, in the first days of Nazi occupation, Christian X rode all alone, then as Nazi occupation continued, 100's of boys, then girls, then people of all ages on bicycle would join him. Then crowds would gather on the sidewalks and streets of the capital to show their support. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOH660qXkjdZLqdO_Sv7obLJs62g1CjDnGDCIuEwko-Xdq4Ghh_I8kzGI0_thl_T71Y8bvDru9pj1yDD2TX7_ppqOP9XF7jhWlGr_tdTMo2KsZqREzaNzC4OAvGJE6sTXR4pRCI2gRXStVnKGeg2bALC0HSRu27pX7tV3YQx-UrHFqL1rtGTRLG3kJdQvJ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOH660qXkjdZLqdO_Sv7obLJs62g1CjDnGDCIuEwko-Xdq4Ghh_I8kzGI0_thl_T71Y8bvDru9pj1yDD2TX7_ppqOP9XF7jhWlGr_tdTMo2KsZqREzaNzC4OAvGJE6sTXR4pRCI2gRXStVnKGeg2bALC0HSRu27pX7tV3YQx-UrHFqL1rtGTRLG3kJdQvJ=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj42RvLH679QHmgvtJkTzr-GXO3JywEZJwcED9Lgbd0QdZlevjI7OUa5tmbcptMPYUnUf95w-HX9P-B6pcEwpZVQlfLcX59-fP7xxdhQcTB0zYOKvaefRBTcnQUfsDrUBRcIDvV4W7huei1KnX17PX6Qweui0CHKS-Sdo3-jEadUcQPOCP3vO6wYfbJSox-" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj42RvLH679QHmgvtJkTzr-GXO3JywEZJwcED9Lgbd0QdZlevjI7OUa5tmbcptMPYUnUf95w-HX9P-B6pcEwpZVQlfLcX59-fP7xxdhQcTB0zYOKvaefRBTcnQUfsDrUBRcIDvV4W7huei1KnX17PX6Qweui0CHKS-Sdo3-jEadUcQPOCP3vO6wYfbJSox-=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1V_JxWX-7l23f0It7bp6aSUNIokiVsuB1LbSlyr7RCqmKKd9cj3jCUdDR_AZzEyso23GJTgGtC_BEYlGvarBd2EFj4XC1JcgiDOOctrod8ywu1xkMTJrLs_6ZuhIeCL3zCoH23xhe1wVjtcZu3SB2db4XzCRD7oywYRty_lAI1zpK4_l_zO0-Q7pqExbi" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="500" data-original-width="320" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1V_JxWX-7l23f0It7bp6aSUNIokiVsuB1LbSlyr7RCqmKKd9cj3jCUdDR_AZzEyso23GJTgGtC_BEYlGvarBd2EFj4XC1JcgiDOOctrod8ywu1xkMTJrLs_6ZuhIeCL3zCoH23xhe1wVjtcZu3SB2db4XzCRD7oywYRty_lAI1zpK4_l_zO0-Q7pqExbi=w257-h400" width="257" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It is known that this bothered Germany Army Commanders and the Gestapo immensely, but the King's popularity with his people was such that they feared doing any reprisals. When Hitler sent the king a birthday greeting in 1942, the King sent a Danish colloquialism which meant he could go **** himself. In secret King Christian X helped the resistance organize all the boats of the country to secretly sail Jews to neutral Sweden, leading to over 90% of Denmark's Jews surviving the war. Denmark was the only country in German occupied Europe which could say anything close to that number survived. King Christian X was a true leader who cared about his people. Whenever I hear an Evangelical from the Bible Belt smear liberal Denmark, I always tell this true story. Christian X is one of my pantheon of heroes. Thank you, Denmark and King Christian X. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A Michigan Police Officer deliberately drove around with his brights on so he could write tickets to anyone who gave him a courtesy flash, using a law designed to penalize people who warn other people of DUI checkpoints. But Deven and the officer were the only two people on the road that night. Deven demanded the officer call a supervisor after being pulled over for the PHONY Ticket. The officer yanked the boy out of his car, slammed him spread eagle on the ground and then stomped</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">the SH*T out of the teenage boy with his military boots. Then Deven, in fear for his life, defended himself, at which point, the officer pulled his gun and shot the UNARMED boy 7 times, blowing the child's brains out, killing him. Other people ticketed by the same officer said they got phony tickets the same way. A phenomenon some noted, these weren't doctors being pulled over while driving a Mercedes/Lexus, who could afford a lawyer to fight the ticket. Only teenagers, middle income and poor people, who needed their cars for their jobs were pulled over. An ironic aside, 30 to 40 seconds of the officer's bodycam video are missing from the incident. After Deven was DEAD, a police dash cam showed the apparently uninjured cop walking off screen with another cop, coming back a few minutes later a bloody mess. Can't have a DEAD CHILD and an uninjured cop. Cost the county $2,400,000 dollars, but Mom and Dad said they would rather have their son, a good kid and a good student, back. The cop is still working. </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6UYWsU47fi6RdK0RJPsgl_e6Vn9-bnJvAdEMNonayfGNtxYqSVMYntElEEsqkwVobqACE5jOF6FKm1eGHA58bguIiv4YX4kSctmEItuhPF7orjaGAEeqgJ6Yu70grZBkVmVPAC-YCBo8S/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="338" data-original-width="341" height="397" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6UYWsU47fi6RdK0RJPsgl_e6Vn9-bnJvAdEMNonayfGNtxYqSVMYntElEEsqkwVobqACE5jOF6FKm1eGHA58bguIiv4YX4kSctmEItuhPF7orjaGAEeqgJ6Yu70grZBkVmVPAC-YCBo8S/w400-h397/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRCQrwIkWgYK00V-LeO9pziuIEx8jUo7T4lO-_v5MitSFwgeQ5nTmE-fD54T9xMZrQTO1hkFWM8XgkCkdVENYhl_0_sVW7Zw1ED2h0UbBHrTxv5kU4Hcq7msnI-KlpvnoLPuPvYLAuLKbc/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="194" data-original-width="259" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRCQrwIkWgYK00V-LeO9pziuIEx8jUo7T4lO-_v5MitSFwgeQ5nTmE-fD54T9xMZrQTO1hkFWM8XgkCkdVENYhl_0_sVW7Zw1ED2h0UbBHrTxv5kU4Hcq7msnI-KlpvnoLPuPvYLAuLKbc/w400-h300/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Deven's lonely roundez-vous with death.

What these protesters want is a neutral 911 service, which dispatches the most appropriate personnel for the situation. Sometimes that is mental health specialists, sometimes ambulances, family and child services, fire rescue and/or police. Too often the police are automatically dispatched regardless of the situation. Sometimes that is a horrific mistake.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A few years ago, a <b>mentally ill white teenage boy</b> in Tennessee became agitated. His mom and dad are unable to get him to take his medication, so they called 911 for help getting him to the hospital for treatment and medication. The police arrive and pull the <b>UNARMED</b> boy out of bed in only his underpants, then take him outside to the street. The boy is terrified and uncooperative, not following their orders. The commanding officer on site pulls out his gun and shoots and kills the boy saying "we don't have time for this". The local Republican DA refused to prosecute the officers. Mom and Dad of the boy say if you have a mentally ill child, NEVER CALL POLICE if your mentally ill child become obstinate, unless he/she has a weapon and is a threat to their parents, family, friends or him/herself. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>When is deadly force justified?</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This South Carolina Police Lieutenant claimed a teenage boy aimed his car at him in a misdemeanor marijuana sting, forcing the officer to shoot and kill the teenage boy, Zachary Hammond.

The Republican Sheriff and his deputies "investigated" Jason Bolton's death and wrote it off as a hit and run. Jason was a good kid, a good student with no discipline issues, though he had a couple of minor incidents involving pot. When Jason's body was taken to the coroner's office, Jason's family was in for a shock. 16-year-old Jason Bolton had been CASTRATED. His penis, testicles and scrotum had been cut off, while he was still alive, leaving him to bleed to death, but that wasn't cruel enough for his murderer(s). </span><span>Then someone took the boy, while he was still alive, and placed him spread eagle in the middle of the road. Then they deliberately aimed a car between his legs and ran him over TWICE to hide the torture murder. They crushed his bladder, intestines, kidneys, lungs and stomach, broke several bones, his legs, his hips, his ribs, vertebrae and tail bone, it was this final act of cruelty which finally killed the 16-year-old boy. NO ONE, much less a 16-year-old boy, deserves that. The agony and suffering of this boy must have been beyond measure. Jason </span>was murdered in rural Fayette County Indiana August 21, 1991 near the Rush County line. To this day, nothing has been done to resolve the case. Four of the people, who attended the party with Jason the night that he was TORTURED AND MURDERED, gave statements to police. They said Jason was high and drunk when he wandered out on the road, passed out and fell, at which point, he was hit by an oncoming car, which left the scene. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>Jason's cries and screams as he was being castrated must have been heard by everyone in that house. Jason must have been screaming, begging for mercy for the several minutes it took to kill him. It must have taken more than one person, probably more than two to hold him down as the horrific and bloody castration took place by another person. Jason must have fought for his life with every ounce of strength he had. He must have known he was being murdered. Unfortunately his cries fell on the deaf ears of his murderer(s) and the murderer's friends inside and outside that house. Everyone in that house must be made to answer the questions about what happened that night. Their lies are not good enough. And if they knew what happened to Jason they are as guilty as whoever wielded the knife TORTURING AND MURDERING the 16-year-old boy. They should all face the same penalty as the perpetrator, because they were accessories to Jason's TORTURE/MURDER. Obviously, the sheriff and his department never cared about Jason or Justice. The Republican Sheriff and his department are accessories after the fact in Jason's TORTURE/MURDER.</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Since their statements were lies, one could ask why weren't they suspected of involvement in Jason's TORTURE/MURDER or, at least, prosecuted for false statements and hindering prosecution. According to reports, the police never tested any of the party attendee's cars for blood on their tires. One of the party attendees was a relative of the Republican Sheriff. This man was suspected of being a drug dealer in the area. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">My life stopped the night I identified baby Jason. I went there that morning, to where it happened. They didn’t even clean it up. There were latex gloves and I even picked up a couple teeth I would have done more then, but I didn’t know. I only saw his face. No one told me about his groin area! I didn’t even know until I finally got my hands on those pictures. At first the Coroner told me no. But he called me the next morning and said he had thought about it all night, and if I would meet him in 20 minutes he would give them to me so I did. That’s when I realized the rumors were true, his whole groin area was just….gone…mutilated. I saw a picture of a little white thing on the side of the road by the grass I didn’t even know what it was. Coroner Joe Todd told me it was a testicle. And it was! It was a little severed testicle.” –Tomi Bolton Schmidt </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/Missing.Indiana/permalink/1556167494477148/?comment_id=2543842602376294" style="font-size: large;">https://www.facebook.com/groups/Missing.Indiana/permalink/1556167494477148/?comment_id=2543842602376294</a><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">All of this evidence should have been taken into police custody under common law enforcement practice, then and now. The fact that it wasn't taken into evidence, proves that the police, obviously, never considered this boy's TORTURE/MURDER worth their time. I don't know how you feel, but for me, NO ONE MUST EVER BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THE TORTURE AND MURDER OF A KID. Republican Evangelical "christian" Law and Order Governor and Conservative Republican Hate Radio Announcer Mike Pence never considered this case worth his time either for his radio show or as chief law enforcement officer in the state of Indiana. I care, Jason, and call for JUSTICE. But, then again, I am a liberal Democrat.</span></b></div></div>

Henry Peavey was the servant of Hollywood Director William Desmond Taylor. He arrived at the Desmond Taylor home/luxury apartment at 7:30 AM on February 2, 1922. He opened the door and immediately spied the body of his employer lying dead on the den floor. It would turn out to be a strange story of corruption in law enforcement, sex, a vengeful stage mother. So died one of the most successful directors of Hollywood. Soon Hollywood would learn, Taylor was Anglo-Irish, not English and had run away from an unhappy marriage in NYC, leaving behind a daughter and a wife.</span><br />

Many years later, Taylor appeared in this movie, while he was still an actor, his wife in New York saw it and got in touch with him and an accommodation was reached about child support and spousal support. His wife and daughter, whose existence was unknown in Hollywood, attended his funeral.<br />

Mary Miles Minter Shelby in a sultry photo more fitting to the 1920's and being an adult, taken almost immediately before the murder. Mary had a physical romance with Assistant Director James Kirkwood, Charlotte Shelby told Kirkwood that she would kill him if he touched her daughter again. Possessive to the point she would allow no one to interfere with her gravy train. Charlotte made threats and she wasn't joking.<br />

Faith Cole MacLean, above, and her husband, actor Douglas MacLean, were Taylor's neighbors, and Faith is widely believed to have seen Taylor's killer. The couple was startled by a loud noise at 8 pm. MacLean went to her front door and saw someone emerging from the front door of Taylor's home who she said was dressed, "like my idea of a motion picture burglar". She recalled this person paused for a moment before turning and walking back through the door, as if having forgotten something, then re-emerged and flashed a smile at her before disappearing between the buildings. MacLean decided she had heard a car back-fire. She also told police interviewers this person looked "funny" (like movie actors in makeup) and may have been a woman disguised as a man.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mary Miles Minter, real name was Juliet Reilly, her Mom Charlotte Shelby, she kept her maiden name, and sister Margaret Shelby, born Margaret Reilly, shown above. Charlotte Shelby believed that Mary and Taylor were having an affair. Many close Taylor confidants knew that Taylor was gay. No one who actually knew them, believed it, but Charlotte did. Faith MacLean a Taylor neighbor, saw a very short person wearing a very heavy coat. Police asked if it had been Edward Sands, whom she knew well. She said definitely not. Then they asked if it could have been a woman. She said she thought that a definite possibility. The Shelby/Minter/Reilly home called Casa de Margarita had 40 rooms and still stands at 701 South New Hampshire Avenue Los Angeles now serving as a youth home. Her previous home had belonged to Mary Pickford has been used for several TV shows. Mary was forced to sell the house in 1932, moving into a home at 144 Adelaide Drive in Santa Monica, where she would live until she died. </span><br />

<br />
We now know that police believed that some corrupt shenanigans were going on in the DA's Office. They believed that Charlotte was a viable suspect, she had threatened Taylor before. Charlotte was never called in for questioning. She owned a gun which disappeared indefinite time before the murder, same model and caliber as the murder weapon. But it is even more interesting than that. The Minter/Shelby family alibi was the visit of actor Carl Stockdale, who was a personal friend of Charlotte's. Much later it was discovered that Charlotte paid Stockdale $200 a month for the rest of his life. But it gets more interesting than that. Belle Simpson the Shelby/Minter live in maid, pictured in the center below, was committed to an insane asylum by Charlotte and the District Attorney's Office. She would stay their for 39 years, until her death. She told family that she knew something about the murder that she shouldn't and that was why she was there.<br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">People forget the collateral damage innocent victims in crimes, especially murder. Mabel Normand was a huge star, her career collapsed almost immediately after the murder. Apparently, corrupt studio execs, used the murder to get out of expensive contracts with Mabel and Mary Miles Minter. Taylor was gay, but they planted evidence that Minter and Taylor were having an affair. William Desmond Taylor was like a father to both Mabel Normand and Mary Miles Minter. Young ladies only had platonic relationships with Taylor. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Mabel Normand had been then there the night of the murder, arriving at about 7 PM and leaving at a 7:45 PM. Five minutes after she left, Taylor walked her to her car and kissed the car window and whispered Good-Bye. The Chauffeur verified this. Mabel had a drug problem. Taylor was known in Hollywood for being fanatically anti-drug, baring users and dealers from his set, even if they were important actors/directors/movie moguls. It is believed that Taylor took a paternal interest in her and was trying to ween her off and blacklisting anyone who sold drugs to her. She was like a daughter to him. At Taylor's funeral, Mabel cried her eyes out, everyone said his death broke her heart. </span><br />

Mabel Normand with her attorneys, she had graduated from the casting couch in Mack Sennett's Keystone Cops to comedy stardom. The scandal gave the studio a way to drop her contract under the morals clause. Not helped by her drug problem. A love affair was an easier, not dirty scandal and the perfect morals charge.<br />

William Desmond Taylor's Chauffeur/Secretary/Gentlemen's Gentleman Edward Sands disappeared before the murder. An inference was drawn that they were more than employer and employee. Sands had stolen checks, then cashing them, worth several thousand dollars and he also stole and pawned several possessions in Northern California, all after Taylor went on an extended vacation in Europe. Sands disappeared so successfully that no one has ever found out what happened to him. Turns out that Sands real name was Edward Snyder and he was from Ohio. He had been court marshaled in Naval Service during WWI. Snyder/Sands worked in the Ship's Store. He was found to be overcharging the crew for goods they purchased and pocketing the "surplus". He was convicted of embezzlement, after a term in the brig, he was dismissed from the Navy in New Hampshire, Snyder made his way to California and changed his name to Sands. Mary Miles Minter was bemused by Sands who effected an exaggerated British accent, similar to his employer, who had developed his own fake British Accent. Mary Miles Minter would call Sands the Cockney behind his back because his British Accent was so effected and phony. When Taylor returned, he received this in the mail, signed with Taylor's real, secret name. Taylor was Irish, not English, he was an excellent actor, for him it was easy portraying a high society Brit, fooling Los Angeles Society, but fooling a grifter from Ohio apparently was beyond even his ability. In the opinion of everyone who new him, Taylor was the character he portrayed, they called Taylor the gentleman director.<br />

Another fact that came out during the investigation, but was covered up by the DA's Office, which was probably taking bribes from Famous Lasky Players Studio/Paramount. Apparently, a couple of months before the murder, Henry Peavey had been arrested in West Lake Parks for Public Indecency. Taylor hired a lawyer for him and the charge seemed to have been dead docketed. While the file appears to be lost, an inference has been drawn that Peavey may have been soliciting boys for his boss in Westlake Park which had a reputation for male prostitution.<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">Who murdered Hollywood Director William Desmond Taylor/William Deane Tanner? Hollywood Director King Vidor was a friend of Taylor's. He heard rumors that Mary Miles Minter was framed for a sexual liason by Studio Execs who placed, strategically, incriminating love letters and lingerie at Taylor apartment. Thinking is that this helped squelch rumor that Taylor was gay, which was a much bigger deal then than it is now. And allowed them to dump Mary and her contract. </span><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">We know that Charles Eyton was reported to have been at the Taylor apartment/death scene when police arrived. He was an executive of the Paramount Pictures/Lasky Players. The police were told he came with several individuals who removed and placed items all over the apartment. Taylor drank moderately, but adamantly against drugs, he was actually helping Mabel Normand ween herself from drugs. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">Drugs placed on scene would give another motive and possible suspect for police to investigate, keeping them away from Taylor's hom</span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">osexuality and a possible Hollywood connected murderer. </span><br />

15-year-old Tim Masters was walking to his school bus stop in Fort Collins Colorado. He noticed what looked like a mannequin in the field, continued to school and forgot the incident. In a few days, Tim would be arrested and spend the next 10 years in prison.<br />

Early in the investigation, lead investigator Fort Collins detective Jim Broderick centered on Masters as the primary suspect due to his failure to report the body found on his way to school. However, no physical evidence linking Masters to the crime was found.</div>

On February 12, investigators searched his home, including the sinks for blood, and his school locker. They found 2,200 pages of writings and violent artwork by Masters in his bedroom, backpack and school locker, along with a knife collection and pornography. The local newspaper with the account of the body's discovery was found on his dresser next to his knife collection. However, no trace of Hettrick's blood or hair was found in Masters' room or among his belongings, including his clothes and knife collection.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-DPsketchy_4-1" style="font-size: 11.2px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_Hettrick_murder_case#cite_note-DPsketchy-4" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;">[4]</a></sup></div>

Despite hours of police questioning without an adult present, wherein policemen repeatedly told Masters they knew he'd committed the murder,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6" style="font-size: 11.2px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_Hettrick_murder_case#cite_note-6" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;">[6]</a></sup> the 15-year-old Masters maintained his innocence.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Poe's mind was by no means commonplace. In the last year of his life, 1848, he wrote a prose poem, Eureka, which would have established this fact beyond doubt—if it had not been so full of intuitive insight that neither his contemporaries nor subsequent generations, at least until the late twentieth century, could make any sense of it. Its very brilliance made it an object of ridicule, an instance of affectation and delusion, and so it is regarded to this day among readers and critics who are not at all abreast of contemporary physics. Eureka describes the origins of the universe in a single particle, from which "radiated" the atoms of which all matter is made. Minute dissimilarities of size and distribution among these atoms meant that the effects of gravity caused them to accumulate as matter, forming the physical universe. </span><b style="font-size: large;">The New York Times Book Review</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Poe's own estimation, he had written something that was more than a daydream.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">The Big Bang</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In 1922, Russian mathematician Alexander Friedmann proposed on theoretical grounds that the universe is expanding, which was derived independently and observationally confirmed soon afterwards by Belgian astronomer and Catholic priest Georges Lemaître in 1927. Lemaître also proposed what became known as the "Big Bang theory" of the creation of the universe, originally calling it the "hypothesis of the primeval atom," in his paper Annales de la Société Scientifique de Bruxelles (Annals of the Scientific Society of Brussels) under the title "Un Univers homogène de masse constante et de rayon croissant rendant compte de la vitesse radiale des nébuleuses extragalactiques" ("A homogeneous Universe of constant mass and growing radius accounting for the radial velocity of extragalactic nebulae"), he presented his new idea that the universe is expanding and provided the first observational estimation of what is known as the Hubble constant. What later will be known as the "Big Bang theory" of the origin of the universe, he called his "hypothesis of the primeval atom" or the "Cosmic Egg". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
American astronomer Edwin Hubble observed that the distances to faraway galaxies were strongly correlated with their redshifts. This was interpreted to mean that all distant galaxies and clusters are receding away from our vantage point with an apparent velocity proportional to their distance: that is, the farther they are, the faster they move away from us, regardless of direction. </div>

In 1964, two AT&T scientists, Arno Penzias(R) and Robert Wilson(L), were studying radio waves using a shoehorn radio wave detector aimed into deep space, when they noticed an anomaly, back ground radiation, with no discernible cause, radiating in all directions. It was at that moment that "The Big Bang Theory" was proven, because that is exactly what scientist had predicted would happen if the theory were true. </div>

Did you know that originally Poe intended his poem to be called The Parrot but felt, quite rightly, that choice betrayed the solemnity of his poem. Then he happily learned that Raven could mimic human speech too. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Only this and nothing more.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Nameless here for evermore.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“’Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This it is and nothing more.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That I scarce was sure I heard you”—here I opened wide the door;—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Darkness there and nothing more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!”—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Merely this and nothing more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“Surely,” said I, “surely that is something at my window lattice;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
’Tis the wind and nothing more!”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Though its answer little meaning—little relevancy bore;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
With such name as “Nevermore.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he fluttered—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have flown before—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then the bird said “Nevermore.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“Doubtless,” said I, “what it utters is its only stock and store</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Of ‘Never—nevermore’.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Meant in croaking “Nevermore.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom’s core;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On the cushion’s velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o’er,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But whose velvet-violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o’er,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
She shall press, ah, nevermore!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“Wretch,” I cried, “thy God hath lent thee—by these angels he hath sent thee</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On this home by Horror haunted—tell me truly, I implore—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Is there—is there balm in Gilead?—tell me—tell me, I implore!”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
By that Heaven that bends above us—by that God we both adore—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked, upstarting—</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Shall be lifted—nevermore!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Before we proceed, this is the "grave" of 17-year-old Richard Parker. He was part of the crew of a small yacht, the Mignonette, which sailed from England to Sydney Australia in 1884. The boat was far too small for such a long journey. A storm hit and the yacht sank, a 1000 miles off the coast of Argentina, the four man crew included Dudley the Captain, Stephens the 1st Mate, Brooks a Sailor and Richard Parker the Cabin Boy made it to the lifeboat, with hardly any provisions. One can of Turnips lasted only hours, a turtle the caught a few days. After 8 days of starving, the men realized they were in danger of starving to death. They had no fresh water. Parker, the youngest of the crew became delirious with thirst and tried to drink seawater, the salt from which only made matters worse. At this point the men, were pushed far beyond human endurance. They made the decision that on man would have to sacrifice himself for his other crew mates. Since Richard Parker was in by far the worst shape, delirious and irrational, the men decided he would have to sacrifice himself as their only source of food, so they could live. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The remaining men were rescued on the 24th day after the sinking, but were arrested and put on trial. Charged with murder, Dudley and Stephens, they were in command and were found guilty of murder and sentenced to hang, on appeal this was effectively changed the sentence to manslaughter and the men were given 6 months sentences. </div>

<b>In 1838, Edgar Allan Poe published his only full length novel, "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket." </b>A ship called Grampus is sinking, they have lost all provisions, no food or water. They four man crew manage to catch a tortoise and strip off its shell which provides sustenance lasting a few days. But they reach the point where the crew must draw lots to figure out which of them will be sacrificed to provide food for the rest. The death straw goes to a young ship hand named Richard Parker, who is promptly killed, sustaining them all, barely, until they are rescued. </div>

The photo up top was taken by the chief steward of the German ocean liner SS Prinz Adalbert on April 15, 1912. The Prinz Adalbert was sailing off the coast of Newfoundland near the last reported position of the Titanic before she sank on April 14th. What drew the steward's attention to this iceberg was its base, just above sea level, which had a long deep red streak on its side at the water line. This was before he knew anything about the Titanic sinking. </div>

In 1898, author Morgan Robertson wrote a book titled "Futility" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Both of the ships were triple screw (propeller) ships.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Both the Titan and the Titanic were described as being "unsinkable" The Titan was the largest craft afloat and the greatest ship ever built to date, having 800 feet, displacing 75,000 tons, up from 45,000 in the 1898 edition...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Both the fictional ship the Titan and the Titanic had a shortage of lifeboats</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- The Titanic carried 16 lifeboats, plus 4 Engelhardt folding lifeboats, which was less than the required for the crew and passenger capacity of 3000.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- According to the book, the Titan carried "as few as the law allowed", 24 lifeboats, which could carry less than half of her total complement of 3000.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Both ships struck an iceberg</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- The titanic struck the iceberg moving at 22½ knots on the starboard side on the night of April 14, 1912, in the North Atlantic, 400 nautical miles (740 km; 460 mi) away from Newfoundland.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- The titan also struck an iceberg moving at 25 knots, curiously also on the starboard side on an April night in the North Atlantic, 400 nautical miles (740 km; 460 mi) from Newfoundland.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Both ships sank, even though they were described as unsinkable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- The Titanic sank, and more than half of her 2200 passengers and crew died.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- The Titan also sank, and more than half of her 2500 passengers drowned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Titan and the Titanic were both 400 miles from Newfoundland! Robertson did have a talent of predicting the future as he also predicted another real-life event. Robertson is also credited with predicting the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II in his novel 1914 "Beyond the spectrum."</div>

Morgan Robertson wrote another short story in 1914, in a volume that also contained a new version of Futility, Robertson included a short story called "Beyond the Spectrum", which described a future war between the United States and the Empire of Japan. Japan does not declare war but instead launches sneak attacks on United States ships en route to the Philippines and Hawaii; an invasion fleet about to launch a surprise attack on San Francisco is stopped by the hero using the weapon from a captured Japanese vessel. The title refers to an ultraviolet searchlight used by the Japanese, but invented by the Americans, to blind American crews.</div>

On December 7th 1941, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the United States without declaring war at Pearl Harbor. Much like they did against Russia at Port Arthur in 1905, starting the Russo-Japanese War which Japan won. </div>

Remembering
James Garner, whose one rule, repeated by many who knew him, don’t make up your
mind up about friendship with anyone based on how they treat you, they may have an Angle,
decide based on how they treat the people who can do nothing for you/them. Jim would watch how
you treated waitresses, waiters, car and bell hops, even the paper boy, before deciding if
he wanted to be your friend. Jim was incredibly popular in Hollywood. His Cherokee
Productions kept the same employees for the 25 years Rockford was on the air. When he
auditioned Joe “Santos” Minieri for the role of Sergeant Dennis Becker, Jim
liked Joe Immediately,
the job was his.Jim had worked with Stuart Margolin on his previous show Nichols in 1970. </div>

<br />
I have a History Degree and love researching things. I was watching The Rockford Files/Queen of<br />
Peru, which had dialogue which I thought was quintessentially Jim. I went to IMDb to cut and paste it, but they didn't have it, so I transcribed it myself. Then I stumbled across one of those stories which seem to come out of nowhere. In the episode young actor Michael Morgan played Sean Wronko. I recognized him from other shows on TV, but I didn't know his real story.<br />
<br />
<img alt="No photo description available." height="195" src="https://scontent.fatl1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/60636453_10156094917910598_1823006041382584320_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_ht=scontent.fatl1-2.fna&oh=5aadc423ae00c354d64d4267d5f337b9&oe=5D6657E1" width="400" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Well, I did some digging and surprised to discover the fact that Michael Morgan was the son of Yvonne "Lily Munster" De Carlo and was born on October 29, 1959. I remembered seeing him on episodes of Little House on the Prairie, CHIPS, etc. Michael was a soft spoken, gentle, intelligent young actor. Watching Rockford's Queen of Peru prompted me to find out what happened to him. Horrifically, I was shocked to find out Michael was murdered, suffering a beating which caused a cerebral hemorrhage, on February 15, 1999.A case, which Larry Wilcox of CHIPS indicates remains unsolved. As if that wasn't enough, his brother Bruce, worked in the Twin Towers and was killed on 9/11. There is a footnote to this story. Apparently, the 9/11 story may have been attributed to Michael Murphy's family.<br />
<br />
<span face=""helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-size: 14px;">Michael Morgan, who played Alex in today's CHiPs episode on MeTV (The Best of Families) is the son of Yvonne DeCarlo, beloved for her role as Lily Munster. Sadly, he was murdered in 1999 at at age of 39. Police have yet to solve the case. Just as sad, his on screen brother in the episode, Timothy Patrick Murphy, died of AIDs in 1988 at the age of 29. His brother, Patrick Sean was killed a few years later in the 9/11 attacks. He worked in the World Trade Center---Sue </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Wilcox7M3/posts/10152664299518450">https://www.facebook.com/Wilcox7M3/posts/10152664299518450</a><br />
<br />
<br />
As if that wasn't enough, her husband stuntman Bob Morgan, was seriously injured while filming How The West Was Won(1962). Bob lost a leg and sight in one eye. Yvonne took the role of Lily Munster to help pay Bob's medical bills.<br />
If you are near someone you love, more so if you are not, give them a call or hug, you could lose them in a heartbeat.<br />

Requiescat in pacem, pal. Michael Morgan 1959-1999<br />
<br />
Princess Diana said she had a debt as a child who was bullied when she was young to help other kids. Diana was shy and gentle, her parents had a vicious divorce which only made things worse. At boarding school, she was the number one target of school bullies. Diana said it taught her what her mission in life should be, she became a school teacher. There weren't and aren't many millionaire school teachers, but Diana was one of them. Diana said that bullies most often target the gentlest among us. She said it is our duty when we see a kid like Michael Morgan, to mentor them so that they will have a long, meaningful, happy life. If you choose to follow her path, do it in memory of Diana and Michael.<br />

He is believed to be the man appearing in this 1936 photograph, conspicuously refusing to perform the Nazi salute with his co-workers. Landmesser had run afoul of the Nazi Party for his violation of the Nazi Race Laws because of his engagement</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> to Irma Eckler, a Jewish woman. He was imprisoned and eventually drafted into military service, where he was killed in action. His fiance Irma Eckler was sent to a concentration camp where she was murdered by the Nazis.</span><br />

Police will tell you that someone is far more likely to be killed in a domestic dispute than a criminal act. She also appeared to justify cuts to Medicaid, which provides Medical coverage to the poor and elderly, by saying the high cost was the result of behaviors like eating Fried Chicken and BBQ which causes things like Diabetes. A point lost on no one, though she did attempt misdirection by accusing the left-wing press of misinterpreting her words. We all know exactly what she meant. The only thing missing was watermelon from her speech.</span></span></span><br />

He switched dens and the new den is excited to have him, according to Mayfield’s mother. And they should be. Just last month, Ames sold the most popcorn among his former pack—$2,750 worth. He sold it in two weeks time because he wanted to reach the scholarship level and help pay his scouting dues, something he said would help his mom, a single mother, in a small way. </span></span><a href="https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a13114082/cub-scout-kicked-out-of-den/">https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a13114082/cub-scout-kicked-out-of-den/</a></div>

Lizzie Borden was tried for the murder of her millionaire father and stepmother before an all male jury. When questioned later, these jurors said they couldn't believe a woman would use a hatchet, no one ever thought she used an ax, to murder anyone. Poison was a woman's weapon to commit murder.<br />
<br />
Two people were in the LOCKED house at the time of the murders, other than the victims, Irish Maid Bridget Sullivan and daughter Lizzie Borden. Lizzie's stepmother was killed on the 2nd Floor their 92 Street Home at about 9:00 to 9:30 AM on August 4, 1892. It was a stifling hot day.<br />

<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
After reflecting on Lizzie's acquittal, her defense attorney was former Massachusetts Governor George Robinson, who happened to be the man who appointed the trial judge to the bench, Bridget Sullivan spoke only once about the case, telling reporters immediately after the trial.<br /></span>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">Prosecutor/District Attorney Hosea Knowlton and Fall River Town Marshall Hilliard knew within minutes of the murder that the number one suspect had to either be Lizzie or Bridget, but they also knew that only Lizzie profited from the murder. Police and prosecutors look for three things investigating a crime: motive, means and opportunity. Lizzie inherited half her father's estate, roughly $125,000 at the time, the equivalent to $2,250,000 now. The suspected weapon was found downstairs in the basement. A hatchet was found in a box of tools with a broken handle. But it wasn't covered in dust, it was covered in ashes, when rinsed off, the break in the handle was shown to be recent and fresh. When Andrew Borden came home at 11 AM, the front and side doors were both locked and bolted from the inside, preventing him from getting into the house. He had to knock loudly, Bridget was on the third floor attic apartment, while Lizzie was either on the 1st or 2nd floor, her story changed repeatedly. Andrew, possibly cursing, mumbled under his breath as Bridget let him in the house. Bridget and Andrew heard Lizzie laugh from the second floor only a few feet from Abby's dead body. </span><br />

I went to Newport, Rhode Island in 2006, to visit my childhood home on Washington Street. Since it was only a few miles away, I visited Fall River, Massachusetts too and dropped in on the Borden house. We lived in this house on Washington Street, in the apartment on right with the red door. I remember looking out our bay window seeing JFK, Jackie and Caroline Kennedy cruising down Narragansett Sound. Once I saw a submarine surface right behind our house.<br />

After the tour guide was through with his speech, he asked for questions and I was ready asking him a series of questions about the murder. I told him that I had read Victoria Lincoln's "Murder by Daylight" about the case. Victoria had been a child in Lizzie's neighborhood on the hill in the 1920's. She had seen Lizzie working in her garden and on her front porch many times. When she heard the other kids in the neighborhood singing the famous rhyme, Victoria went to her mother and asked what the song meant. Her Mom explained, a long time ago "Lizzie was very unkind to her mother and father."<br />

<br />
Lizzie lived with her sister Emma, Dad Andrew and Stepmother Abby Durfee Gray Borden on 92nd Street. Their father had moved there in his youth before he became really rich. He was an up and coming undertaker, famous for being the cheapest one in town. As one might imagine, undercutting other mortuaries, led to stories like he cut the legs off a 6'4" man to fit him in a casket designed for a man 5'10".<br />
Lizzie resented the fact that her father was, in 1892, on the board of almost every company and bank in town and yet they still lived in the same middle class home he had moved into with his first wife Sarah in 1845 and finally bought in the the 1871. He was one of the richest and one of the most successful men in town and was the President of one of the largest banks, but lived like he didn't.<br />
The Borden's had an overnight house guest, Andrew's first wife, Sarah Borden's, Emma and Lizzie's Mom, brother John Vinicum Morse. Though he would have no real alibi for the murder of Abbey at 9 to 9:30 AM, he had an alibi for Andrew Borden who was killed after 11 AM.<br />

Mrs. Churchill sent Bridget for Dr. Bowen, a good Anglo-Saxon, fit for society doctor, but he was making a house call, so Bridget brought neighbor Irish Catholic Dr. William Dolan, who happened to also be the county medical examiner. He had served during the Civil War and made a very important determination, Abby had died hours earlier. Her blood was coagulated and drying, while Andrew Borden's was fresh. Their deaths were hours apart. <br />

<br />
Under questioning from Town Marshall Hilliard and his men, who had interrupted the town clambake to come investigate the crime, Lizzie offered the alibi that she had been, as some point in the barn looking for wire to fix a screen, police checked, no screen had a tear in it. So she then said that she went to the barn to eat a pear from the yard, in the cool loft of the barn having left the door unlocked. Two boys who had been hanging around the crime scene after the news broke, came to Lizzie's defense team and told them they stole up to the loft to spy on the goings on. Brownie and me, Everett Brown and Thomas Barlow, both about 14/15-years-old, echoed Lizzie's testimony that it was coolest place around on that stifling hot August day. The young liars had distinguished records as juvenile delinquents and would work hard to perfect their art. They came from the poorer section of town.<br />

To the right in this photo it the famous pear tree where Lizzie got her pears to eat them in the "cool" barn loft. When police entered the barn and went to the loft, they found the temperature stifling hot, over 100 degrees. <br />

Assistant Marshall Fleet the first officer on the scene said that was ridiculous. He had checked out the barn, it was stifling hot, going to the loft, found it even hotter. He also testified that the loft floor had a thick coat of dust, undisturbed by either Lizzie's or the boys' footprints. He also made the "mistake of referring to Abby as Lizzie's mother," earning a rebuke from Lizzie.<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;">"She was not my mother, sir," Lizzie replied, "She was my stepmother: my mother died when I was a child."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px;"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The most compelling testimony came again from Alice Russell. Russell described a visit from Lizzie the night before the murders in which she announced that she would soon be going on a vacation and felt "that something is hanging over me--I cannot tell what it is." Then, according to Russell, after describing her parents' severe stomach sickness (which she attributed to bad "baker's bread"), Lizzie revealed, "I feel afraid something is going to happen." Explaining her feeling, Lizzie told Russell that "she wanted to go to sleep with one eye open half the time for fear somebody might burn the house down or hurt her father because he was so discourteous to people." Turning his questioning to the Sunday after the murders, District Attorney Moody asked Russell about the dress burning incident. Russell recounted that when she asked Lizzie what she was doing with the blue dress, she replied, "I am going to burn this old thing up; it is covered with paint." On cross-examination, defense attorney George Robinson attempted through his questions to suggest that a guilty person seeking to destroy incriminating evidence would be unlikely to do it in so open a fashion as Lizzie allegedly did. Russell also recounted a conversation with Lizzie about a note, which according to Lizzie's account, she received from a messenger on the morning of the murders summoning her to visit a sick friend. (Lizzie used the note to explain why she thought her mother had left the home and therefore didn't think to look for her body after discovering her father's. Despite a thorough search of the Borden home, the alleged note never was found.) Russell said she sarcastically suggested to Lizzie that her mother might have burned the note. Lizzie, according to Russell, replied, "Yes, she must have." </span></span><br />

<br />
The most damaging testimony came from Lizzie close friend Alice Russell. Drawing from the Trial and a photo taken 40 years later from the old folks home. Her revelation that Lizzie burned a dress in the kitchen stoves because of "brown paint stains," while the police were repeatedly searching the home for clues is incredibly incriminating. But an all male jury, just couldn't believe a woman would commit an ax murder. Lizzie chose her weapon well. <a href="https://phayemuss.wordpress.com/2010/12/20/alice-russell-lizzie-bordens-turncoat-friend/">https://phayemuss.wordpress.com/2010/12/20/alice-russell-lizzie-bordens-turncoat-friend/</a><br />

<br />
June 6, 1865<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Andrew Borden remarries. His new wife is Abby Gray, age 37. Abbey comes from prominent families who have long since fallen on hard times.<br />
<br />
1887<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Lizzie Borden stops calling her stepmother "Mother."<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Cabin; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span face=""tahoma" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: black;">In 1887, Abby’s stepmother, Jane Gray, decided to sell her half of the house at 45 Fourth Street in Fall River that was handed down to her when husband Oliver Gray died. Abby’s half-sister, Sarah Bertha “Bertie” Gray Whitehead, who was thirty-six years younger than Abby and whom Abby was very close to, had lived in the house all her life. Bertie then had a husband and two young children. Bertie’s second child, George, was born in March of 1887, and the transfer was in May, which meant that her youngest was only three months old.<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="box-sizing: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Cabin; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span face=""tahoma" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: black;">It was feared that Bertie and her family would lose their home, and Abby appealed to Andrew to buy Jane Gray’s half of the house so her half-sister could retain the home. Andrew bought it and put it in Abby’s name.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Cabin; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span face=""tahoma" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: black;">The house had actually been the place of Andrew and Abby's marriage in 1865. </span></div>

<span face=""tahoma" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: black;">When Emma and Lizzie heard what happened, they were angry. They said that what Andrew did for Abby’s people he ought to do for his own. The girls were advised to ask Andrew for a like-property, and he gave them their grandfather Borden’s house at 12 Ferry Street, which allowed them to collect rent from the tenants there.</span></div>

Lizzie stopped calling Abby “Mother.” She would talk ugly about Abby to others and refer to her as “Mrs. Borden” to her face. As near to the murders as the spring of 1892, Lizzie shared some harsh words about Abby to Hannah Gifford, the dressmaker for the Borden women:</span></div>

<br />
1889<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Bridget Sullivan, an Irish immigrant, begins working at the Borden home.<br />
June 24, 1891<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Daytime robbery of cash and jewelry at the Borden home (Emma, Lizzie, and Bridget are home at time). Lizzie, who had earlier been accused of shoplifting by a local merchant, is the family's prime suspect. From this date, doors to the Borden home--inside and out--are kept locked.<br />
<br />
April 1892<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>According to Hannah Gifford, a Fall River cloakmaker, Lizzie tells Gifford that Abby "is a mean old thing."<br />
<br />
May or June 1892<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Andrew Borden uses a hatchet to kill pigeons in the family barn. The pigeons roosted in a barn loft that Lizzie maintained for their benefit. Lizzie becomes hysterical over the loss.<br />
<br />
July 21, 1892<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Following a family disagreement, Lizzie and Emma Borden leave Fall River and travel to New Bedford.<br />
<br />
August 2, 1892<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Abby and Andrew Borden awaken, complaining of stomach sickness. Abby visits Dr. Bowen. She suggests that she might have been poisoned, but Dr. Bowen is skeptical.<br />
<br />
Aug. 3, 1892: A.M. Lizzie reportedly tries, unsuccessfully, to buy some poison from Eli Bence at D. R. Smith's drug store.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image result for eli bence" src="https://sanctaflora.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/bence1.jpg?w=184&h=300" /><br />
Bence offers this testimony at the inquest, but his testimony is ruled inadmissible at trial, since this was an "ax murder" not a poisoning.<br />
<br />
Aug. 3, 1892: P.M.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>John Morse arrives for a stay with the Bordens. Lizzie visits Alice Russell and talks forebodingly about household activities. She says she fears poisoning, that her father has enemies, and that she has seen suspicious characters around the family house. "I'm afraid but that someone will do something," she says.<br />
<br />
Aug. 4, 1892: A.M.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>About 7 A.M., Abby, Andrew, and John Morse have breakfast. Afterwards, Morse and Andrew go to the sitting room while Abby begins her house cleaning chores. Bridget Sullivan goes to the backyard to throw up. Morse leaves about 8:45. Libby has a light breakfast about 9 A.M. A few minutes later, Andrew leaves the home, taking with him some letters that Lizzie asked him to mail.<br />
<br />
Aug. 4, 1892: 9:30 A.M.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Abby goes up the stairs to continue her house cleaning on the second floor. Bridget Sullivan is outdoors cleaning windows for the next hour. Sometime during the next hour, Abby Borden is killed in the guest room by 19 hatchet blows to the back of her head.<br />
<br />
Aug. 4, 1892: 11 A.M.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Andrew Borden returns home carrying a small parcel. Originally he goes to the side door which is always left open and finds it locked and bolted, then he goes to the front door, which is also locked and bolted. He knocks loudly and is obviously angry and confused by the locked and bolted doors. Bridget Sullivan lets Andrew into the house as she hears laughter from upstairs, from Lizzie at the head of the stairs. Lizzie visits her father briefly in the dining room, telling him that Abby had received a message and left the house. Andrew lies down in the sitting room, and Bridget goes to rest in her attic room to lie down.<br />
Andrew Borden is murdered shortly thereafter in the sitting room sofa. Lizzie calls for Bridget, saying someone had killed her father. Lizzie tells a neighbor, Adelaide Churchill, that she had been in the barn looking for "irons" (sinkers for an upcoming fishing trip) at the time of the murder. Shortly after 11:15, police are notified of the murders.<br />

Aug. 4, 1892: P.M.<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Dozens of policemen troop in and out of the Borden home. Doctors perform a post-mortem on the bodies on the dining room table. Lizzie is interrogated by Deputy Marshal Fleet. Lizzie speaks in a detached manner and when Fleet calls Abby her mother, Lizzie insists, "She is not my mother--she is my step-mother."<br />

Officers Harrington and Medley are the first to arrive on scene, both would later become Fall River Police Chiefs.<br />
<br />
August 6, 1892<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>An editorial in the Fall River paper criticizes the police for inaction in the Borden case. A funeral service for Andrew and Abby is held at the Borden home.<br />
<br />
August 7, 1892<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Emma observes Lizzie burning her blue corduroy dress in the kitchen fire.<br />
<br />

Andrew came home from his bank and lay down on the couch in the living room. He was struck from behind. Normally, he would hang up his jacket on the hangar in the entrance hall, but here it is shown rumpled and balled up below his head. One theory, Lizzie wore his jacked backwards to stop any blood from getting on her.<br />

Abby was upstairs cleaning the guest room when she was attacked from behind, receiving seventeen blows from a hatchet at 9 AM. As the coroner would say the blows were not powerful, but hideously persistent.<br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Clarence Darrow began his career as a school teacher in Ohio. He was also apprenticing in a Lawyer's Office after school and on weekends. Eventually he took and passed the bar exam, becoming a lawyer. He quickly established a reputation as an excellent litigator. As his reputation spread he went from a small town Ohio Lawyer to become America's highest paid lawyer working as a corporate counsel for the railroads. He quickly became chief counsel, something he would excel at for 20 years. Then he had an attack of conscience and became a Labor Lawyer, defending employees, liberals and unions. He would spend the last 25 years of his life fighting the death penalty, many times for free. He opposed the death penalty on principle. By 1900, he was considered the best lawyer in the country. In his last years, he served in President Franklin "FDR" Roosevelt's administration. </span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Clarence files with Cook County Court his notice that he has been hired by the Leopold and Loeb families to represent their boys Nathan "Babe" Leopold and Richard "Dick" Loeb for the crime of murdering 14-year-old Bobby Franks. The Leopold and Loeb families originally offered any amount, a million dollars, if Clarence Darrow would take their sons' case. Then they would put off specific discussions as to the amount Darrow's representation would cost. In the end Darrow would be paid $70,000 for the case, which included fees for expert witnesses hired for the defense. Darrow would then have to split the fee with his law firm 50/50, after taxes. The families were worth about $5 to $10,000,000 at the time of Bobby's murder, even so, they were slow in paying Clarence, so he would have to pay expenses out of his own pocket. Darrow later said a lot of destitute clients' defenses were paid for by the Leopold and Loeb families. </span></div>

His opinion of Darrow would soon change. He later described his attorney as a great, simple, unaffected man, with a "deep-seated, all-embracing kindliness." In his book Life Plus Ninety-Nine Years, Leopold wrote that if asked to name the two men who "came closest to preaching the pure essence of love" he would say Jesus and Clarence Darrow.</b></span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Two bored, wealthy, brilliant boys, 19-year-old Nathan Leopold and 18-year-old Richard Loeb, had been committing a series of petty crimes, shoplifting, arson, cheating at cards, theft, like stealing Loeb's fraternity brother's typewriter at the University of Michigan, all without getting caught. Their first crime together was cheating friends and family in card games. They found it hilarious to outsmart their friends. They went on to set fires, arson, then watch firemen put out the fires, even offering constructive advice to the professionals who investigated on how to catch the perpetrator. Richard Loeb was fascinated by crime. As a boy he would lie to his governess, Emily Struthers, who was very strict. Richard got to be very good at lying and deceit, taking extraordinary joy in outsmarting the woman who took such pride in her charge and trusted him.</span></div>

The boy would be hit with the blunt end of the chisel, knocked out, and taken to the predetermined dumping site, at which point they would complete the plan by strangling him. Each was to hold an end of the rope and both pull, to share equally in the guilt. However, Bobby did not succumb instantly. He screamed. He was hit again. And again. He bled. It was another mistake. He was dragged over the seat of the car smearing blood on the seat. Gags were stuffed into his mouth. He was wrapped in a blanket and shoved onto the floor of the car.</span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were rich, brilliant young college students. They had murdered Bobby Franks in the car they rented, then kept the boy's body on the floorboard of the backseat. They stripped him of his clothes and dressed him in an old robe they had around the house. They dumped some of his clothes, his belt, and shoes along the way to Wolf Lake. Later they would burn his shirt, pants and underwear and one sock in the Loeb family coal furnace. They then went to a hotdog stand for dinner with the dead boy only a couple of feet away on the floorboard of the back seat, waiting for darkness to fall. They killed Bobby for the thrill of killing someone and getting away with it. They orchestrated a fake kidnapping as a cover. Here they proved how cruel and heartless they were. There can be no more cold-blooded, cruel crime than that. As blood seeped out Bobby's wounds staining the upholstery and carpeting, they calmly ate their red hots, which is what hotdogs were called at the time, and drank root beer. The blood even stained the floorboards underneath. "Well, probably the blood was rather effusive," Leopold would later comment. <a href="http://www.mkstage.com/NTS/murder.htm">http://www.mkstage.com/NTS/murder.htm</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgdpDlwx1nD4OHkIBTbjrXxm27Zsd6iURmS49LSZeDMctSE8Ny94Cz_JGGjCaTBmHE1j30fS4oMRk6IFcoMTUu1mTIhqHu6RWTonwR4r0lMF67rewa9O2JBjaruzxWSh4kes0rxObxns2PLAlfMditQ_mZ5lFpKjbkzrdd8ooU9vmS5cb6XC1JvncmbYQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="194" data-original-width="260" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgdpDlwx1nD4OHkIBTbjrXxm27Zsd6iURmS49LSZeDMctSE8Ny94Cz_JGGjCaTBmHE1j30fS4oMRk6IFcoMTUu1mTIhqHu6RWTonwR4r0lMF67rewa9O2JBjaruzxWSh4kes0rxObxns2PLAlfMditQ_mZ5lFpKjbkzrdd8ooU9vmS5cb6XC1JvncmbYQ=w400-h299" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div>

But the acid only turned his face, stomach, Bobby had a surgical scar on his stomach, penis and scrotum copper colored. They had hoped hydrochloric acid would even prevent identifying that Bobby had been circumcised * or, at best, the body's sex. Then they made another mistake, they originally intended to hide Bobby's body so it wouldn't be discovered for a few days. But the next morning a worker walking along the Pennsylvania Railroad line looked down at the culvert saw this pipe and saw Bobby's feet sticking out. Scrambling down the embankment, he called some passing railroad workers for help and they sent for police.</span></div>

<span face=""montserrat" , sans-serif" style="color: #333333;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="background-color: #fefefe;">Tony Minke lived nearby, on the edge of the Forest Preserve, but he did not usually take this route home. That morning, Thursday, 22 May, he was coming from the factory where he had worked the night shift. Now he was on his way to Hegewisch to pick up his watch from a repair shop before returning home to sleep. The sun was at his back, and as he passed a large ditch on his left, he looked down momentarily. The sun’s rays shone into the ditch, and Minke looked more closely: was that a foot poking out of the drainage pipe? Minke stopped and looked closer—he peered into the pipe. Inside, he could see a child’s body, naked and lying face downward in a foot of muddy water.15 In the distance, Minke could see four men, railroad workers, on a handcar traveling slowly along the tracks in his direction. He climbed the embankment and, as the handcar approached, he signaled to it to halt. The handcar came to a gradual stop. As the workmen climbed down, Minke walked a few steps toward them, pointing back at the ditch. “Look,” he exclaimed, “there is something in the pipe, there is a pair of feet sticking out.”16 As the men pulled the body out of the pipe and turned it on its back, Minke could see immediately that the boy had been killed: there were two large wounds on the forehead—deep gashes, each about an inch long—and toward the back of the head he could see large bruises and swelling. And those marks on the boy’s back? What had caused those scratches running down the back all the way from the shoulders to the buttocks? But the most peculiar aspect was the appearance of the face—there were distinctive copper-colored stains around the mouth and chin; and the genitals also—they were stained with the same color.17 As his fellow workers were carrying the body to a second handcar on the tracks, Paul Korff, a signal repairman for the railroad, glanced over the scene. He wondered if any of the boy’s clothes were lying around; if so, they should gather them up and take them along. Korff could see nothing—no shirt or trousers, or even shoes and socks—but he did find a pair of eyeglasses with tortoiseshell frames, lying on the embankment, just a few feet from the culvert. Perhaps they belonged to the boy; Korff put them in his pocket and joined his comrades waiting by the handcars.18 At around ten o’clock that morning, Anton Shapino, the sergeant on duty at the Hegewisch police station, took charge of the body. Paul Korff had handed him the tortoiseshell eyeglasses, and Shapino, assuming that they belonged to the boy, placed them on the child’s forehead. Later that morning, at the morgue at 13300 South Houston Avenue, the undertaker, Stanley Olejniczak, laid the body out; as he did so, he noticed the unusual discoloration of the boy’s face and genitals and the bruises and cuts on the head—someone had obviously beaten the child violently. </span></span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Loeb reached over the seat. He grabbed the boy from behind with his left hand, covering Bobby's mouth to stop him from crying out. He brought the chisel down hard—it smashed into the back of the boy's skull. Once again he pounded the chisel into the skull with as much force as possible—but the boy was still conscious. Bobby had now twisted halfway around in the seat, facing back to Loeb, desperately raising his arms as though to protect himself from the blows. Loeb smashed the chisel down two more times into Bobby's forehead, but still he struggled for his life.</span></div>

He rammed a rag down the boy's throat, sticking his fingers deep into Bobby's mouth, suppressing his tongue, ramming and stuffing the rag down as hard and far as possible, choking the boy and depriving him of oxygen. He tore off a large strip of adhesive tape and taped the mouth shut. Finally! The boy's moaning and crying had stopped. Loeb relaxed his grip. Bobby slid off his lap and lay crumpled at his feet.</span></div>

He did and received glasses with horn rimmed framed reading glasses made of Xylonite. Friends remember Nathan chewing on the earpieces. The recovered glasses had chewed ends.</span></div>

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">The night of the murder Loeb and Leopold played cards with friends as if nothing had happened. Nathan Leopold made the mistake that led to his being called in for questioning, which led to his arrest and the unraveling of the perfect crime. He lost his glasses at the murder scene. Police originally thought the glasses belonged with the boy's body, which explains why the Franks family discounted police reports that the boy's body might be Bobby, Bobby didn't wear glasses. Jacob Franks asked his brother-in-law Edward Gresham to go to the morgue, just in case. He immediately recognized his nephew Bobby Franks. </span></div>

The glasses were practically brand new. They included a brand new type hinge which had only been used on 3 pairs of glasses in the Chicago area. The manufacturer maintained excellent sales records. A perfect storm for Leopold and Loeb. </span></div>

Later police would take him to his house to find the misplaced glasses. Failing to do so, Leopold opined he must have lost them while taking kids to the park and lake bird watching. Leopold was a well respected naturalist and bird expert and he had been to Wolf Lake many, many times with groups bird watching.</span></div>

Together they stole a flower vase from a neighborhood house and got caught. Loeb was 9-years-old. They also played strip poker and once wrestled naked on a bed. Loeb never spoke of sex with his parents or governess, but the family chauffeur told him the basic facts of life when Richard was 11-years-old. Mengel and Richard drifted apart at about the age of fourteen. Mengel wound up in Pontiac Reform School and was later sentenced to Federal Prison for forgery as an adult.. </span></div>

<b><br /></b><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">
Detectives escorted Nathan home after brief questioning about the glasses found at Wolf Lake. He had been at the LaSalle Hotel for only about an hour, being questioned by Robert Crowe's experienced staff. They offered him a chance to see if he could find his glasses. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Once they got there, a quick search failed to turn them up. His older brother Mike decided that, even though he believed Nathan's story about losing them birding, it was time for Nathan to get some legal advice. Mike suggested that they contact Samuel Ettleson who was a neighbor, lawyer and a friend of both the Franks family, Leopold family and the Loeb family. <b>It was at this point that something truly horrifying occurred</b>: </span><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="color: red;"><b>Nathan Leopold's brother Mike suggested they go directly to ask Attorney Sam Ettleson for advice. Calling his house, Mike found that Ettleson had gone to the Frank's house to comfort and support his distraught next door neighbor and his family. So Mike took Nathan, everybody, including Ettleson, called Nathan "Babe," to the Franks' house. They were greeted at the door by a numb Jacob Franks and Sam Ettleson. Sam shepherded Mike and "Babe" away from the distraught Franks family so Mike and Nathan could speak to him. Mike explained that "Babe" had lost his glasses while bird watching at Wolf Lake the week before and was now the subject of police questioning. Nathan had to agree to this interview, anything else would look suspicious.</b></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 5pt 0in;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">On Friday the 23rd, the coroner's inquest was held. Dr. Joseph Springer had conducted the autopsy. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">He would repeat the same testimony at the criminal trial of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Bobby Franks had died of suffocation, perhaps when his kidnapper held his hand over the boy's mouth and shoved something down the boy's throat. There were a number of wounds on the boy's body which suggested that he had fought with his captor.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 5pt 0in;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">There were small wounds on the right and left sides of his head, plus bleeding and bruises from a blunt instrument on Bobby's forehead. Some chemical had been poured on his face and his penis. While there was some dilation of Bobby's rectum, Springer said that Bobby had most probably not been sexually abused. That was a natural phenomenon after death.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 5pt 0in;">
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">After the Coroner reported that Bobby's rectum were dilated,</span><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> Leopold and Loeb, laughed. </b><br />
<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">It should be stated at this point, State's Attorney Robert Crowe believed Bobby's murder was a sexual assault. He included the following words in his closing arguments, mentioning the coroner's words. And Crowe indicated that they only reason that this suspected crime was not part of the indictment was that whatever evidence which might have been on Bobby's body was washed away by the water flowing through the pipe. </b><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b>But it went far beyond that, the two boys would constantly show that they were bored with the proceedings, betraying that they felt this whole trial was a waste of their far too valuable time. The boys were constantly rolling their eyes, yawning and appearing to close their eyes and sleep during the proceedings. Forever emphasizing to all those in the courtroom that Bobby Franks' life and death were trivia, to them. But what disturbed onlookers the most, even Darrow, was their laughter and smirking smiles. One associate of Darrow's would later confide, there was little chance a jury would not execute them, but the boy's demeanor would have guaranteed it. </b></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><b>Darrow argued and believed that there was something seriously wrong with these two murderers. Alienists, as psychiatrists were called then, would be the rock upon which Leopold and Loeb's whole defense was based.

<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Bobby originally turned down Richard Loeb's offer of a ride. Partly because he was within a few 100 yards of his home. Maybe there was more to Bobby's reticence than that. Someone later remembered Bobby commenting that Richard Loeb, his second cousin, had spanked him, as a joke, at Tommy Loeb's birthday party. Bobby told the friend, that it was strange, Richard Loeb was hitting him really hard and seemed to enjoy it. It made Bobby feel creepy.</b></div>

<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">One friend said Bobby was a wise, old soul. <span style="color: blue;">Bobby reminds me of the "Fool on the Hill," paying attention and seeing things other people miss.</span> Perhaps he sensed a bad vibe from Richard that other people didn't see, which put him on guard. A few people came forward and indicated that they suspected Leopold and Loeb were involved in an intimate relationship, but mostly this was adult friends, fraternity brothers, at the University of Michigan who had seen them together. Unfortunately, nothing prepared Bobby for the depths of Leopold and Loeb's depravity. He might be on guard against inappropriate sexual language or overtures, but he in no way could he have suspected the two capable of murder. </b></div>

<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Several neighborhood boys would later report that their parents would hold Richard "Dick" Loeb as an example for them: brilliant, academically successful, gregarious and popular, charming and respectful, especially with adults. The fact that he was handsome too, didn't hurt. To many Kenwood parents, Loeb was the perfect young man. These many years later, it sends chills up and down your spine to think, that a boy, after some minor indiscretion or mistake, was told by his loving, stern parents, why can't you be more like Richard "Dick" Loeb. </b></div>

This terrible crime was inherent in his organism, and it came from some ancestor ... Is any blame attached because somebody took Nietzsche's philosophy seriously and fashioned his life upon it? ... It is hardly fair to hang a 19-year-old boy for the philosophy that was taught him at the university.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Now, your Honor, I have spoken about the war. I believed in it. I don't know whether I was crazy or not. Sometimes I think perhaps I was. I approved of it; I joined in the general cry of madness and despair. I urged men to fight. I was safe because I was too old to go. I was like the rest. What did they do? Right or wrong, justifiable or unjustifiable—which I need not discuss today—it changed the world. For four long years the civilized world was engaged in killing men. Christian against Christian, barbarian uniting with Christians to kill Christians; anything to kill. It was taught in every school, aye in the Sunday schools. The little children played at war. The toddling children on the street. Do you suppose this world has ever been the same since? How long, your Honor, will it take for the world to get back the humane emotions that were slowly growing before the war? How long will it take the calloused hearts of men before the scars of hatred and cruelty shall be removed?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
We read of killing one hundred thousand men in a day. We read about it and we rejoiced in it—if it was the other fellows who were killed. We were fed on flesh and drank blood. Even down to the prattling babe. I need not tell you how many upright, honorable young boys have come into this court charged with murder, some saved and some sent to their death, boys who fought in this war and learned to place a cheap value on human life. You know it and I know it. These boys were brought up in it. The tales of death were in their homes, their playgrounds, their schools; they were in the newspapers that they read; it was a part of the common frenzy—what was a life? It was nothing. It was the least sacred thing in existence and these boys were trained to this cruelty.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
It will take fifty years to wipe it out of the human heart, if ever. I know this, that after the Civil War in 1865, crimes of this sort increased, marvelously. No one needs to tell me that crime has no cause. It has as definite a cause as any other disease, and I know that out of the hatred and bitterness of the Civil War crime increased as America had never seen before. I know that Europe is going through the same experience today; I know it has followed every war; and I know it has influenced these boys so that life was not the same to them as it would have been if the world had not made red with blood. I protest against the crimes and mistakes of society being visited upon them. All of us have a share in it. I have mine. I cannot tell and I shall never know how many words of mine might have given birth to cruelty in place of love and kindness and charity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Your Honor knows that in this very court crimes of violence have increased growing out of the war. Not necessarily by those who fought but by those that learned that blood was cheap, and human life was cheap, and if the State could take it lightly why not the boy? There are causes for this terrible crime. There are causes as I have said for everything that happens in the world. War is a part of it; education is a part of it; birth is a part of it; money is a part of it—all these conspired to compass the destruction of these two poor boys.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Has the court any right to consider anything but these two boys? The State says that your Honor has a right to consider the welfare of the community, as you have. If the welfare of the community would be benefited by taking these lives, well and good. I think it would work evil that no one could measure. Has your Honor a right to consider the families of these defendants? I have been sorry, and I am sorry for the bereavement of Mr. and Mrs. Franks, for those broken ties that cannot be healed. All I can hope and wish is that some good may come from it all. But as compared with the families of Leopold and Loeb, the Franks are to be envied—and everyone knows it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
I do not know how much salvage there is in these two boys. I hate to say it in their presence, but what is there to look forward to? I do not know but what your Honor would be merciful to them, but not merciful to civilization, and not merciful if you tied a rope around their necks and let them die; merciful to them, but not merciful to civilization, and not merciful to those who would be left behind. To spend the balance of their days in prison is mighty little to look forward to, if anything. Is it anything? They may have the hope that as the years roll around they might be released. I do not know. I do not know. I will be honest with this court as I have tried to be from the beginning. I know that these boys are not fit to be at large. I believe they will not be until they pass through the next stage of life, at forty-five or fifty. Whether they will then, I cannot tell. I am sure of this; that I will not be here to help them. So far as I am concerned, it is over.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
I would not tell this court that I do not hope that some time, when life and age have changed their bodies, as they do, and have changed their emotions, as they do—that they may once more return to life. I would be the last person on earth to close the door of hope to any human being that lives, and least of all to my clients. But what have they to look forward to? Nothing. And I think here of the stanza of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._E._Housman" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="A. E. Housman">Housman</a>:</div>

Now hollow fires burn out to black, / And lights are fluttering low:<br />
Square your shoulders, lift your pack / And leave your friends and go.<br />
O never fear, lads, naught's to dread, / Look not left nor right:<br />
In all the endless road you tread / There's nothing but the night.</div>

I care not, your Honor, whether the march begins at the gallows or when the gates of Joliet close upon them, there is nothing but the night, and that is little for any human being to expect.</div>

But there are others to consider. Here are these two families, who have led honest lives, who will bear the name that they bear, and future generations must carry it on.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Here is Leopold's father—and this boy was the pride of his life. He watched him, he cared for him, he worked for him; the boy was brilliant and accomplished, he educated him, and he thought that fame and position awaited him, as it should have awaited. It is a hard thing for a father to see his life's hopes crumble into dust.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Should he be considered? Should his brothers be considered? Will it do society any good or make your life safer, or any human being's life safer, if it should be handled down from generation to generation, that this boy, their kin, died upon the scaffold?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
And Loeb's the same. Here are the faithful uncle and brother, who have watched here day by day, while Dickie's father and his mother are too ill to stand this terrific strain, and shall be waiting for a message which means more to them than it can mean to you or me. Shall these be taken into account in this general bereavement?</div>

Have they any rights? Is there any reason, your Honor, why their proud names and all the future generations that bear them shall have this bar sinister written across them? How many boys and girls, how many unborn children will feel it? It is bad enough as it is, God knows. It is bad enough, however it is. But it's not yet death on the scaffold. It's not that. And I ask your Honor, in addition to all that I have said to save two honorable families from a disgrace that never ends, and which could be of no avail to help any human being that lives.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Now, I must say a word more and then I will leave this with you where I should have left it long ago. None of us are unmindful of the public; courts are not, and juries are not. We placed our fate in the hands of a trained court, thinking that he would be more mindful and considerate than a jury. I cannot say how people feel. I have stood here for three months as one might stand at the ocean trying to sweep back the tide. I hope the seas are subsiding and the wind is falling, and I believe they are, but I wish to make no false pretense to this court. The easy thing and the popular thing to do is to hang my clients. I know it. Men and women who do not think will applaud. The cruel and thoughtless will approve. It will be easy today; but in Chicago, and reaching out over the length and breadth of the land, more and more fathers and mothers, the humane, the kind and the hopeful, who are gaining an understanding and asking questions not only about these poor boys, but about their own—these will join in no acclaim at the death of my clients.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
These would ask that the shedding of blood be stopped, and that the normal feelings of man resume their sway. And as the days and the months and the years go on, they will ask it more and more. But, your Honor, what they shall ask may not count. I know the easy way. I know the future is with me, and what I stand for here; not merely for the lives of these two unfortunate lads, but for all boys and all girls; for all of the young, and as far as possible, for all of the old. I am pleading for life, understanding, charity, kindness, and the infinite mercy that considers all. I am pleading that we overcome cruelty with kindness and hatred with love. I know the future is on my side. Your Honor stands between the past and the future. You may hang these boys; you may hang them by the neck until they are dead. But in doing it you will turn your face toward the past. In doing it you are making it harder for every other boy who in ignorance and darkness must grope his way through the mazes which only childhood knows. In doing it you will make it harder for unborn children. You may save them and make it easier for every child that sometime may stand where these boys stand. You will make it easier for every human being with an aspiration and a vision and a hope and a fate. I am pleading for the future; I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men. When we can learn by reason and judgment and understanding and faith that all life is worth saving, and that mercy is the highest attribute of man.</div>

I feel that I should apologize for the length of time I have taken. This case may not be as important as I think it is, and I am sure I do not need to tell this court, or to tell my friends that I would fight just as hard for the poor as for the rich. If I should succeed, my greatest reward and my greatest hope will be that for the countless unfortunates who must tread the same road in blind childhood that these poor boys have trod—that I have done something to help human understanding, to temper justice with mercy, to overcome hate with love.</div>

The Whitakers were a good Texas Baptist family. Their preacher was one of the family's closest friends. That night as they returned from the dinner they were ambushed as they opened the front door of their home by burglars who shot and killed mom and his younger brother Kevin and nearly killed dad. Bart was shot in the arm during the attack. A reporter was doing some routine follow up for a story that he was was writing about the shooting. He called Sam Houston State College for some background on the "honors graduate". To the shock of the reporter, the school reported that not only had Bart not graduated but he had been dropped from the student rolls. The case looked like it would never be solved until someone at the Sugarland Police Department, after developing photos taken Bart's dad that evening, saw this photo. It made for a terrific Forensic Files episode. When his two buddies were implicated and seemed to be be on the brink of breaking, Bart escaped to Mexico, where he hid out for several months until he ran out of money. Caught by the FBI, Bart was shipped back to Texas USA. Originally sentenced to death, now commuted to life in prison with no chance of parole.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifkh5jdu_m0IYdkazH2KotSe3A43VYIvX52xIKFqlDS47rIn9q32lFleOc339cC7qUdooCsvZiwa3lL-ef7b-scOScAt2zfQ8hfnaOgJaoZami82yZpQeRlBP4RE7fpY-K5Tr3h9NwuvHHEHfSO5MIBQVutC5OPbXNLEr1gK7AXuNzewBDBd8PWyLNG6jy/s640/champagne-brashearmugs.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifkh5jdu_m0IYdkazH2KotSe3A43VYIvX52xIKFqlDS47rIn9q32lFleOc339cC7qUdooCsvZiwa3lL-ef7b-scOScAt2zfQ8hfnaOgJaoZami82yZpQeRlBP4RE7fpY-K5Tr3h9NwuvHHEHfSO5MIBQVutC5OPbXNLEr1gK7AXuNzewBDBd8PWyLNG6jy/w400-h300/champagne-brashearmugs.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Steven Champagne, left, and Chris Brashear, were arrested for the murders of Trisha and Kevin Whitaker in September 2005.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Why I like Ron "Opie" Howard. He said Andy Griffith was exactly like he was on screen. A nice, good man, who really cared about him, his Uncle Andy. Ron said it broke his heart when he found out that he made more money than Los Angeles Dodgers Ace Pitcher Sandy Koufax. I think I know how Ron felt. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Remember the joke in "Airplane"(1980) one of the passengers was reading a magazine about famous Jewish Sports Stars with Sandy Koufax on the cover. Looked like it was only 4 or 5 pages thick. Ron had a heart and a conscience. He was a good kid, with good parents. He was perfectly cast for the Andy Griffith Show.</span><br />

When I was a kid, my sports heroes were Hank Aaron, Rico Carty, Joe Torre and Phil Niekro of the Atlanta Braves. The one team we feared was the LA Dodgers, especially when Sandy Koufax was pitching and Maury Wills was running the bases. Maury stole 104 bases in 1962. </div>

Brother Tom's Suicide</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Tom (left) and Katharine (right) Hepburn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Tom Houghton Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn's brother, was two years her senior. As children, the two were inseparable. Dr. Hepburn encouraged all his children to be very athletic, and it has been said that his expectations for his eldest son could be extreme. Tom had developed a nervous tick due to a childhood illness, and Dr. Hepburn pressured him to use willpower to overcome the problem. He believed that any physical accomplishment could be achieved through willpower, hard work, and puritanical habits of living (Barbara Leaming, 1995, 139-140). Unfortunately, tom-boy Kathy proved to be more of an athlete than her brother, a point Dr. Hepburn often pointed out, congratulating Katharine on her athletic prowess within Tom's hearing. Tom was in fact a fairly competent athlete; he simply failed to measure up to his father's high standards for his children. Many Hepburn biographers attribute this failing on the father's part to Tom's low self-esteem as a youth. Dr. Hepburn is often portrayed as a bully and harsh task-master to his children. However, Miss Hepburn and her siblings hero-worshiped both their parents and constantly strove to impress them. On numerous occasions, Miss Hepburn attributed her success to the fact that she was the product of two extraordinary individuals (The Dick Cavett Show, 1974).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Mrs. Hepburn had a very tight circle of friends living in the Greenwich Village area of New York City. Many of them were friends from her Bryn Mawr days, and several were also involved in the social reform movements of the time. Tom and Katharine occasionally stayed with their "aunts" Mary Towle and Bertha Rembaugh, and it was during one of these visits that tragedy struck. When Tom didn't come down to breakfast one morning, 14-year-old Katharine went to fetch him from his attic bedroom. Upon entering the room, she first noticed that the tie from one of the curtains was missing so the drapes hung loose on that side. Then she saw her brother's body, suspended by the curtain tie from one of the ceiling beams, his bent legs clearly able to reach the ground. In a state of shock, Katharine got Tom down from the beam and lay him on the bed. After ascertaining that he was indeed dead, she recalled having seen a doctor's house on their street. She went to the house and rang the bell. The housekeeper answered the door and Katharine told her, "My brother is dead," to which the housekeeper replied, "Then the doctor can't help him, can he? and closed the door in Katharine's face (Hepburn, Me, 1991, 47).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Fearful that her aunt Mary Towle might become hysterical, Katharine went next door to Aunt Bertha's to break the news. The rest of the incident becomes a bit of a blur. Miss Hepburn later remembered her parents coming and crossing on the ferry with Tom's body. Mrs. Hepburn's father had also committed suicide and you must remember that there was a rather strong stigma surrounding suicide in those days (Barbara Leaming, 1995). Suicide was translated as mental instability and was believed to be an inherited trait. Therefore, a history of suicide in the family was not only something one wanted to keep from public knowledge, it also bred the fear that oneself or one's offspring might be threatened by the same problem. One can only imagine how horrified Mrs. Hepburn must have been to discover that her eldest son had succumbed to the same cause of death as her own father. In a documentary about Katharine Hepburn, her brother Bob recalls being at home with Mrs. Hepburn when she received the call from New York that Tom was dead. Even many years later, Bob was reduced to tears as he recalled his usually composed mother slumping over on the kitchen table as she answered the phone call from New York (All About Me, 1993).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
There was much public speculation concerning the cause of Tom's suicide. As I've said, some biographers attribute Dr. Hepburn's bullying to a development of low self-esteem. Tom's death was never discussed in the family. In later years, Miss Hepburn speculated that it must have been an accident. No one in the family could find any cause for Tom to suddenly become depressed or suicidal. In her autobiography, Miss Hepburn relates how she seems to remember Tom telling her, during that fateful visit to New York, "You're my girl, aren't you? You're my favorite girl in the whole world" (Hepburn, Me, 1991, 46). But even Miss Hepburn admits that that could be a memory she constructed many years later, half wishing, half hoping it had once been real. One possibility is that Tom was trying to perform an elaborate stunt described by Dr. Hepburn some months prior to Tom suicide. Dr. Hepburn was from Virginia and he would tell a story about how he and his African American friends would play pranks on the northern football teams who came to compete in the south. He showed his children how there was a special knack of tying a rope so that one could suspend oneself from a tree by the neck without cutting off your air supply. Although it is very difficult to find such antics amusing today, it is possible that Tom was trying this stunt but that he lost control of the slippery curtain tie (Hepburn, Me, 1991, 48).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As you can imagine, Tom's death had a dramatic effect on young Katharine. When she returned to the girls school she was then attending, she became frustrated by all the impertinent questions her classmates demanded of her concerning her brother's death. She felt that she lived in a different world than those girls, because she had been forced to grow up so abruptly. She described her new philosophy of life as "onlines:" "What I meant by it was that I wanted to be independent, to separate myself from all the others and never again to care so much about another person, so I would never feel the pain I felt when my teenage brother hanged himself" (Charlotte Chandler, 2010, 1). Katharine left school and began to take lessons from various tutors around Hartford. She much preferred this method of study, not only because it removed her from the society of her nosy peers, but also because it allowed her to play golf competitively; she became quite a champ. She loved riding her bike all over Hartford to her lessons and golf classes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Katharine would feel the consequences of this less formal schooling when it came to preparations for her entrance to her mother's alma mater, Bryn Mawr College. She had to study extra hard for her entrance exams, just barley scraping the minimum passing marks in chemistry. And, having been away from the society of her peers for so long, she was unprepared for the social life of the all-girl college. Tom's death changed her life irreparably, shaping her into the independent woman the world would come to admire.</div>

I created this presentation in memory of Katherine and her brother Tommy. At least they are together again, as it should be. My own belief, echoed by some of the things Katherine said over the years, Tommy was brilliant, but a gentle soul, which made him different from most kids his own age. At boarding school, this can make you incredibly different and lonely, sometimes the object of bully. As Princess Diana said, gentleness is most often a target for bullies. It was then and it is now. Perhaps Tommy was too gentle for this world. But he lived on through he cherished little sister, who was also his best friend. </div>

Audrey Hepburn was born the daughter of Irish Banker father and her Noble Dutch mother born in Brussels Belgium. Her father was very conservative and anti-British, as most Irish are, which has been erroneously interpreted as pro-German, which he wasn't. Her Mom Baroness Ella van Heemstra (12 June 1900 – 26 August 1984), was a Dutch noblewoman. She was the daughter of Baron Aarnoud van Heemstra, who served as Mayor of Arnhem from 1910 to 1920 and as Governor of Dutch Suriname from 1921 to 1928, and Baroness Elbrig Willemine Henriette van Asbeck (1873–1939). At the age of nineteen, Ella had married Jonkheer Hendrik Gustaaf Adolf Quarles van Ufford, an oil executive based in Batavia, Dutch East Indies, where they subsequently lived. They had two sons, Jonkheer Arnoud Robert Alexander Quarles van Ufford (1920–1979) and Jonkheer Ian Edgar Bruce Quarles van Ufford (1924–2010), before divorcing in 1925. Audrey's Mom and Dad met in the Dutch West Indies and married in September 1926, remaining married until 1938. Audrey and her extended family lived in Brussels, England and Holland due to her Dad's job Her parents were separated in 1936, mom, her siblings and Audrey went to the Netherlands in late 1938, which is where they were when Hitler invaded Poland and WWII broke out. </div>

When World War II broke out, she and her family lived in Holland, immediately and secretly becoming involved in the Dutch Underground.

Donald Trump and Mike Pence began their 2016 campaign in Philadelphia Mississippi in front of an all white audience, many wearing Confederate Flag Shirts and Hats. Can you figure out why? Think about "Pro-Life" Republicans who support the DEATH PENALTY. Like "Pro-Life" Parkland Mass Murderer Nikolas Cruz. He put a Trump/Pence MAGA Hat in his adopted mom's casket, even though she hated Donald Trump. His Mom told friends, that Nikolas became a lost soul after he began watching Fox "News" 24/7. Think about it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
I traveled by bus to New York City in June 1994 in the hope of starting a modeling career. I went to several modeling agencies but was told that I needed to put together a modeling portfolio before I would be considered. I then went to the Port Authority in New York City to start to make my way back home. There I met a woman who introduced herself to me as Tiffany. She told me about the parties and said that, if I would join her at the parties, I would be introduced to people who could get me into the modeling profession. Tiffany also told me I would be paid for attending.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
The parties were held at a New York City residence that was being used by Defendant Jeffrey Epstein. Each of the parties had other minor females and a number of guests of Mr. Epstein, including Defendant Donald Trump at four of the parties I attended. I understood that both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein knew I was 13 years old.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Defendant Trump had sexual contact with me at four different parties in the summer of 1994. On the fourth and fnial sexual encounter with Defendant Trump, Defendant Trump tied me to a bed, exposed himself to me, and then proceeded to forcibly rape me. During the course of this savage sexual attack, I loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but he did not. Defendant Trump responded to my pleas by violently striking me in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened me that, were I ever to reveal any of the details of Defendant Trump’s sexual and physical abuse of me, my family and I wold be physically harmed if not killed.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the Plaintiff was forced to have with Mr. Trump during this period, including the fourth of these encounters where Mr. Trump forcibly raped her despite her pleas to stop.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
I personally witnessed the one occasion where Mr. Trump forced the Plaintiff and a 12-year-old female named Maria [to] perform oral sex on Mr. Trump and witnessed his physical abuse of both minors when they finished the act.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

Ken Starr was fired as President of Evangelical Baylor University after he went to teenage girls who had been <b>RAPED</b> by members of the Varsity Football Team and<b> BULLIED AND THREATENED THEM </b>to get them to drop charges for the good of the school, team and their Evangelical Faith. Republican Special <b>PERSECUTOR </b>Ken<b> </b>Starr tried to overthrow the government of the United States because of a consensual tryst between President Bill Clinton and ADULT Monica Lewinsky. </span></div>

<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">EVANGELICAL REPUBLICAN "Pro-Life" Pro-NRA LAW AND ORDER CONSERVATIVE SPEAKER OF THE US HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES DENNY HASTERT RAPED 20 BOYS WHILE TEACHING SCHOOL, before entering politics. Pro-Life obviously means something different to Conservative Republicans than it does to us. HASTERT GOT A 13 MONTH PRISON SENTENCE FOR SERIAL CHILD MOLESTATION/RAPE TOO, from a Republican Judge, negotiated by a Republican US Attorney and approved by Republican Evangelical Attorney General John Ashcroft and Conservative Republican Attorney General Mike Mukasey.</span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>An 18-year-old boy in Alabama got a 5 year prison sentence for having sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend. The case was prosecuted by Republican Roy Moore while he was the Gadsden District Attorney. Many other teens got the same sentence for the same offense. Teens get beaten, tortured and raped in prison. Roy Moore's tough law and order stand helped him get elected Alabama Chief Justice. Of course, the rules apparently didn't apply to him. Roy Moore was accused of seducing a 14-year-old girl while Gadsden District Attorney.</span><br />
<span>A 14-year-old Georgia boy got a 10 year jail sentence for teaching a </span><span>12-year-old boy self-abuse, masturbation, after the 12-year-old's mother demanded prosecution from the local Republican District Attorney who happily agreed and "won" the draconian sentence. </span><span>Since 100% of all boys masturbate and someone had to teach them, this sentence is vicious and cruel.</span><span> The last mention in the Atlanta Journal/Constitution, mentioning no names, which I saw said the case was on appeal.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>Evangelical Republican Denny Hastert gets 13 months for raping up to 20 boys.

Right Judge, Right Defense Attorney, Right Millionaire Republican Defendant, the only way to get away with murder. Former Governor George Robinson appointed Lizzie's trial judge who bent over backwards to make sure she got a "fair trial". I think Bridget Sullivan knew exactly what was going on. Poor people often do, they get the boot while the rich get the well greased palm.<br /></span>

Republican Speaker of the House Denny Hastert bragged in campaign literature that he became a Born Again Evangelical Christian in the 10th Grade in High School. He was one of the leaders in Impeaching Bill Clinton for having a tryst with an adult, willing woman. He and his predecessor, Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, called Clinton's behavior a disgrace.<br />
I live in Newt Gingrich's Congressional District in Georgia. When he ran for Congress the first time it came out that Newt has served his dying wife with Divorce Papers while shacking up with his mistress.<br /></span>

Republicans need to take their MORAL COMPASSES to SEARS and have them re-calibrated, they are obviously BROKEN.<br />
<br />
Then there is the case of Evangelical Republican Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore who sexually abused 14-year-old girls while a 32-year-old Gadsden Alabama District Attorney. Law and Order Conservative Roy Moore prosecuted 18-year-old boys for having sex with their 15-year-old girlfriends, sending them to prison for up to 10 years.</span><br />

Evangelical Republican Congressman Jim Jordan(R-OH) coached Wrestling at Ohio State in the 1980's and 1990's. Teenage boys on his team came to him and told him that they were being sexually abused by the Team Doctor Richard Strauss, who seemed to take an inordinate amount of time and almost fondle their genitals while examining them during exams and check-ups. Jordan never did anything about it. Dr. Strauss would even take showers with these teenager boys almost every day. Staff might have occasionally used team showers, staff actually had their own separate showers, but it was exceedingly rare. When Jim Jordan saw the abuse for himself, he laughed.<br />
Penn State Coach Joe Paterno never saw Jerry Sandusky abuse boys himself. Staff who witnessed or heard about it, covered it up. When one coaching assistant came forward after witnessing the abuse, he was punished by senior staff. No one ever told Coach Paterno about the abuse. When the story finally broke in the press, Paterno couldn't believe it. Had he known about the earlier pattern of behavior, he probably would have gotten rid of Sandusky years before. Coach Paterno was stunned; he told friends that he couldn't believe anyone calling themselves your friend, would do that to children or betray a friend like that.<br />
Which brings us back to Evangelical Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, a child molester's favorite enabler and best friend.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">The Sexual Abuse of Our Kids</span></b><br /><br />

Evangelical Republican Freedom Caucus Congressmen Trey Gowdy(R-SC) and Jim Jordan(R-OH) attacked President Obama and Hillary Clinton, mercilessly, over 4 deaths at the Benghazi Embassy in Benghazi Libya. In 2002, Republican President George W. Bush pushed through MASSIVE VICIOUS RICH TAX CUTS, to pay for them he cut Embassy Security at US EMBASSIES overseas. While Republicans investigated Benghazi for almost 4 years, they never spent a day investigating Bush's Embassy Security cutbacks and the 60 deaths they caused.</span><br />

Since police gave him a pass since he was a Republican Trumpeteer, 16 kids and a teacher are dead. </span></div>

<br />
16-year-old Jason Dale Bolton was at a party in rural Indiana, drugs and alcohol were served. He never came home, the next day his body was discovered in in the street, apparently run over. The car accident apparently involved the boy being hit head on, one tire running the length of his torso between his legs and up to his shoulder. Police were called and wrote it off as a hit and run. Jason had been drinking, party attendees said, so police said they believed he was drunk and was simply run over.<br />

<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
When the coroner got Jason's naked body on the slab at the county morgue, he found Jason's penis, scrotum and balls had been cut off. This was not an accident, this was a torture murder. He also determined that Jason had been run over twice, both times the car was aimed between his legs. <br />
<br />
Police never seemed to care much about the case and it has never officially been solved, though in the intervening years, party attendees have come forward and said that four men, grabbed the boy, tortured and murdered him. Jason must have suffered horrendous pain as he was castrated and slowly bled to death. Jason's family members believe that the witnesses story, identifying the TORTURE/MURDERERS, has been ignored by police because one of the suspects is a relative of a powerful county police/sheriff's official. They don't want to solve this boy's murder.</span><br />

<br />
Do you remember Gilligan's Island? Remember the Episode about Wrong Way Feldman? It was actually based on a true story, about Irish-American Pilot Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan. Who flew out of a Long Island New York Airfield on a flight to Los Angeles California but ended up in Ireland by "mistake". Or at least that was his story to the US and Irish Governments.<br />

<br />
A high-school dropout turned airplane mechanic, Irish-American Douglas Corrigan was just 20 years old when he helped design and build The Spirit of St. Louis, the plane flown across the Atlantic Ocean by wealthy Charles Lindbergh in 1927. Lindbergh left Long Island, New York at 7:52 AM on May 20,1927, he spotted the Irish Coast at 3:00 PM local time, arriving at Le Bourget Field in Paris at 10:22 PM, France the following day. It was the first solo non-stop transatlantic flight, and brought Lindbergh world-wide fame overnight.<br />
<br />
Lindbergh was Corrigan’s hero, but he was a corporate success, best, most expensive equipment, sponsors, a rich kid bought his success. Corrigan vowed to someday follow in Lindy’s footsteps by flying solo non-stop from NY to Dublin, Ireland. But it would be different, Doug was a poor kid, who did it on his own, paid his own freight and took all the risks in a plane held together with chewing gum. In 1933, Corrigan spent $310 of his own money, about $6000 in 2019 dollars, on a used 1929 Curtiss Robin OX-5 monoplane in dilapidated condition and began to repair and modify it for a transatlantic flight.<br />
<br />
Apparently, you can’t just fly across the Atlantic without getting permission first. Corrigan applied to the Bureau of Air Commerce in 1935, but they only approved his plane for cross-country flights. Corrigan continued to modify his plane, and continued applying to the bureau, but increasing flight regulations meant repeated denials. In fact, the bureau refused to renew his plane’s license in 1937, deeming it un-flightworthy. At one point federal officials even ordered that Corrigan’s Curtiss Robin (named “Sunshine”) be grounded for six months.<br />
<br />
By July 1938, Corrigan had invested a total of $900 (approx. $15,000 today) on Sunshine. He secured an experimental license and permission for a transcontinental flight (CA to NY) with conditional consent for a return trip. Following an approved flight plan, Corrigan flew from Long Beach, CA to Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York. Near the end of the 27-hour flight, Sunshine developed a gas leak, filling the cockpit with fumes. When he landed in New York, however, Corrigan was determined to refuel and take off again the same night. Without repairing the gas leak. Hmm. Maybe the fumes had impaired his judgment, he continued his flight.<br />
<br />
Corrigan claimed his compass wasn't working and he didn't realize that he had a 180 degree heading error. Instead of flying to California, Corrigan was headed towards Europe. He didn't even appreciate the error after seeing only water beneath him for the next 33 hours. No one knew what to do when he arrived in Ireland. At first, customs thought about baring entry, then a call from Irish President Eamon de Valera, said welcome Irish Douglas Corrigan home to Ireland. And the President made the trip to meet him, himself. Finally, the US asked Corrigan come home, because an investigation had been begun about the wrong way flight. The US Government paid for ship's passage for Corrigan and his plane. <br />

Wrong Way Corrigan's Parade was larger than Lindbergh's to the surprise of many. Patrician Charles Lindbergh bought his way into the History Books. Wrong Way Corrigan earned it by doing it all on his own, paying his own "freight".<br />

<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Not once did Corrigan ever waiver from his compass error story. When he got home, no charges were filed, though his flying license was suspended for a few weeks. New York City gave him a heroes welcome, 1,000,000 people turned out to cheer on their errant hero and Don Quixote, Douglas Corrigan built his plane himself. <br />

The US Government wouldn't let Wrong Way Corrigan fly back to the US, but they punished him with a wink and a nod, His flying license was suspended for the two weeks it took him to sail back to the US.</div><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjh2ADWVFGkBDB4Afwc15i_cEjZV94c5pCf9v8XqBXd8jRdjgRzvzu-pi-6fduu0Ti3n7mqnRGRM4e3fnKiaLsBq4hKzFKh3H8vWcA2nhRBeqDYL6KwTkUJudshNlrP3DEghzCnYQ4Tx4FiKUfKTYJoJxFwEQbMFYOOTbyg-H3XIJ4MWH6FiochX6amYA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1005" data-original-width="1280" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjh2ADWVFGkBDB4Afwc15i_cEjZV94c5pCf9v8XqBXd8jRdjgRzvzu-pi-6fduu0Ti3n7mqnRGRM4e3fnKiaLsBq4hKzFKh3H8vWcA2nhRBeqDYL6KwTkUJudshNlrP3DEghzCnYQ4Tx4FiKUfKTYJoJxFwEQbMFYOOTbyg-H3XIJ4MWH6FiochX6amYA=w400-h314" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></div><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></div><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Admiral Chester Nimitz Chief of US Naval Operations in the Pacific during World War II told his biographer, in the 1960's, that the Navy had confirmation that Amelia and Fred Noonan, her navigator, had been CAPTURED BY THE JAPANESE. This information had not been disclosed at the time because Amelia and Noonan were engaged in reconnaissance for the US Military. Next, artifacts found on Japanese occupied Howland Island add credence to this. Most interesting among the artifacts is a jar, which, though weathered, was still intact. Amelia hid her freckles with skin cream, Dr. Berry's Freckle Ointment</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">, her whole adult life. The jar on the right is the brand she used and the recovered aged jar on the left are matches. A footnote, Nimitz had reports that Amelia had been captured in the Marshal Islands, which were Japanese occupied at the time.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wrong Way Corrigan and Amelia Earhart enjoy as much fame and respect today as they did 75 years ago, while Charles Lindbergh has fallen from the pedestal he was once on. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">Charles Lindbergh was the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic from Long Island New York to Le Bourget Field Paris France in 1927. For a brief period he was the most famous man in the world, but 1930 saw the rise of Adolf Hitler. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">Republican Charles Lindbergh visited Nazi Germany and seemed to be in awe of Hitler and his Third Reich. While careful not to have his photo taken with Hitler himself, at their meeting, photos did leak out from his visit. </span><br />

In 1939, Lindbergh began a Republican a Pro-Nazi group called America First. This group was against allowing European Refugees and threatened to impeach FDR for allowing in too many Jewish Refugees. In the audience was the Trump family. Churchill counseled FDR, that stopping Germany military was far more important that fighting Republicans over refugees. Win the war as quickly as possible, this would save more lives than any other strategy.<br />

After the end of World War II and the defeat of Hitler and the Nazis, Lindbergh, who believed in Nazi Eugenics, breeding blonde, blue eyed Germanic Aryans children, went to Germany and had sex with 18-year-old German girls, fathering over 20 children. This didn't come out until the 60's and 70's. He would publicly acknowledge children with three German women in the 1950's, but not the children he fathered immediately after the war ended in 1945. Records show he made several trips to Germany in 1945, 1946 and 1947. Friends revealed that he called it harem visits. <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2005/may/29/20050529-112427-9797r/">https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2005/may/29/20050529-112427-9797r/</a><br />

Named for German President and Field Marshal Hindenburg, it was the pride of the German Transatlantic Air Fleet, crossing in 55 hours. When she approached Lake Hurst New Jersey Naval Air Station after docking on the Empire State Building, a series of storms were rolling through the area. From these storms and ions in the atmosphere, the hull of the Hindenburg built up a massive static electric charge, which sparked when the landing lines reached the ground. That spark caused an immediate fire of the doping compounds used to coat the hull. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span style="font-size: medium;">Recently, NASA investigator Dr. Addison Bain has verified this finding by scientific experiments that duplicated the vigorous ignition by static discharge to the aluminum powder filled covering material. Spectacular colors of this type of combustion were produced from the burning skin of the giant airship. Dr. Bain concluded that the Hindenburg would have burned and crashed even if helium would have been used as the lifting gas. Dr. Bain noted that the particular type of aluminum powder particles, which are flake like in shape, are particularly sensitive to electrical discharge...</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Little did 14-year-old cabin boy Werner Franz know his life might have been measured in seconds. As the fire started, spreading along the outside of the blimp's hull which was "doped" with highly inflammable doping compound which contained a cellulose acetate and nitrate (used in gunpowder) and a coating of aluminum powder. 14-year-old Werner thought quickly, and managed to pry open a window on the gondola and jumped just before the ship hit the ground. Surviving the tragedy, he would become an airplane mechanic during WWII and later an Ice Skating Coach.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiGmZeqALskZPmYV5ipkcag4GsDKAMRM9Sze7PDCT3VOJmA_dwheEGz4DeaTqEZJq8jHeyjkO88xmk3KTGLpbxHJBJt1TL6fIhLWy9HFg34dL0UAMo33YSNn0IXbygXMA6nq5sAXP3ldIjCU1lrBDu6iow9w92ivfD_hxIUX3TcaOOEhdAlNmZAmFsa_w" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="366" data-original-width="450" height="325" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiGmZeqALskZPmYV5ipkcag4GsDKAMRM9Sze7PDCT3VOJmA_dwheEGz4DeaTqEZJq8jHeyjkO88xmk3KTGLpbxHJBJt1TL6fIhLWy9HFg34dL0UAMo33YSNn0IXbygXMA6nq5sAXP3ldIjCU1lrBDu6iow9w92ivfD_hxIUX3TcaOOEhdAlNmZAmFsa_w=w400-h325" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgeDhw0chcg7-Nk68zvDmI7r2faHt04sOWqkvJnH2__9frA2CMSmTz0s6EzFo9Fz2tawFkYbJCDrWapuqKqEQXucU1yQU83Ndn9GSK2f-B0Xn-a_DTN4qJVj_Z39zsq-eckqFuCjc0R-BDOMcyb5lpo7dDU2QncUS4YBKWFfhlG1TrejXBT2qZ91C3QJA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="400" data-original-width="271" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgeDhw0chcg7-Nk68zvDmI7r2faHt04sOWqkvJnH2__9frA2CMSmTz0s6EzFo9Fz2tawFkYbJCDrWapuqKqEQXucU1yQU83Ndn9GSK2f-B0Xn-a_DTN4qJVj_Z39zsq-eckqFuCjc0R-BDOMcyb5lpo7dDU2QncUS4YBKWFfhlG1TrejXBT2qZ91C3QJA=w272-h400" width="272" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgHYwwvNIg-A_ZcdIK8PUFqYtLsmdT2dloU17_WcYfpF8yBFUEQif0GL-bzdirfKcVp7Vk4qSBcBPU6H2dX0TdO106HFLxDCnW6tNPeQDsWL-uCKh8jl3f1jV8yP19QI-a5zaDuvjROfTrDxYwrhrqwmUPuqgZApTnY0J25oleQFcpAUKTgZrW06UPeGQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="488" data-original-width="450" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgHYwwvNIg-A_ZcdIK8PUFqYtLsmdT2dloU17_WcYfpF8yBFUEQif0GL-bzdirfKcVp7Vk4qSBcBPU6H2dX0TdO106HFLxDCnW6tNPeQDsWL-uCKh8jl3f1jV8yP19QI-a5zaDuvjROfTrDxYwrhrqwmUPuqgZApTnY0J25oleQFcpAUKTgZrW06UPeGQ=w368-h400" width="368" /></a></div><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjcdqvrb2UIUjhYWhQuvGjw8w9ajrazJgAPvCbpFQ7JRMFTFHjddvrVBRg9sDL8QwRHklnLC16o7Ao6Qr4f1ikNvNvNTN9FwPke0ZqwZyqzlApw2NL6YKNuHqJrh0wyy0IbZ5QBsWGnQkQKlydoPWJoGMLMFai3_DRjeOt7fMRKezm_FSi9ZZ9ud9Q_BQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="375" data-original-width="500" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjcdqvrb2UIUjhYWhQuvGjw8w9ajrazJgAPvCbpFQ7JRMFTFHjddvrVBRg9sDL8QwRHklnLC16o7Ao6Qr4f1ikNvNvNTN9FwPke0ZqwZyqzlApw2NL6YKNuHqJrh0wyy0IbZ5QBsWGnQkQKlydoPWJoGMLMFai3_DRjeOt7fMRKezm_FSi9ZZ9ud9Q_BQ=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Dr. Goebbels, Hitler's Propaganda Chief, pressured Dr. Hugo Eckener, Chairman and Chief Engineer of the company, to name the airship after Adolf Hitler.

As it approached for a second time, a strong wind was blowing strongly off course, the Captain Max Pruss ordered a strong right rudder and upward rudder because the front of the ship was rising in the rear and winds were driving it toward the docking tower. The captain ordered 6 of the ship's crew to come forward from the stern to correct the stern sinking and forward aft rising by readjusting the weight inside the ship. <a href="https://www.airships.net/hindenburg/flight-operations-procedures/">https://www.airships.net/hindenburg/flight-operations-procedures/</a></span></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9lVFHFBDcaZnacJCBfIEGToLszZLx0lqyB7TI9fYtwNS9f0fAzqnyfplzDAcNubC9YZWji7A4HpmHYMVZfwda4d5Thp7D5A0bLdHpIV2ZpMTrcQ42Xb8q-FWQ_LVKqtd_4i3KwwBsFQQ6/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="196" data-original-width="400" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9lVFHFBDcaZnacJCBfIEGToLszZLx0lqyB7TI9fYtwNS9f0fAzqnyfplzDAcNubC9YZWji7A4HpmHYMVZfwda4d5Thp7D5A0bLdHpIV2ZpMTrcQ42Xb8q-FWQ_LVKqtd_4i3KwwBsFQQ6/w400-h196/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">What Dr. Eckener believed happened: the sharp course corrections put the ship under terrific strain.

When he came in to audition for Tommy on "Alice," she immediately recognized him and enlisted Vic Tayback to lobby for him to get the role of Tommy. It worked. Philip McKeon, Tommy on "Alice," was actually a very smart, polite, well educated and gentle boy. He was loved by the entire cast and crew of "Alice," since he was never demanding, never spoiled, never a problem, Philip turned out to be what every producer hoped for and yet rarely found. Vic "Mel" Tayback said Philip was like a second son to him. Linda Lavin told Philip's mom, she had to share custody of him when he was on set, because she felt like he was her son too. </span></div><div><span face="Segoe UI Historic, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Segoe UI Historic, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #050505; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1ou4QblexWnzaDLD6ZpBR2XvjzBmB_YrDGdTOJrlFDCa-3sgrVTanXmmw1HhsEPE3dMtPC6b3c7PApRxOaMLeoERUmNSLq1GT88KoUddh3fnJR_rJraMn9MZPF81ABOU-l5AAfpA7wDT2RFzwnvQ2BMSmULKKT1KOoHSrE_Qmw5zUznYp5IdFCqNLAw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="500" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1ou4QblexWnzaDLD6ZpBR2XvjzBmB_YrDGdTOJrlFDCa-3sgrVTanXmmw1HhsEPE3dMtPC6b3c7PApRxOaMLeoERUmNSLq1GT88KoUddh3fnJR_rJraMn9MZPF81ABOU-l5AAfpA7wDT2RFzwnvQ2BMSmULKKT1KOoHSrE_Qmw5zUznYp5IdFCqNLAw" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi9Jdc8qRJ2FfnfYs6GdrpPxVfipZgEqra-R6N_wotCPtYW0gD0LNLH0rEjLAlwUe5DyElYN6PpnUH_CSTtUyKtJEgRoWvMA_1rweg93Wo1kvTUiqrnh2IAx5ehKBVaSvGDqmvBWKzttVMW5M37d-1MCZLKOSNM-RAoP2vdysFepMS474PhksHhvLGH2w" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="358" data-original-width="636" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi9Jdc8qRJ2FfnfYs6GdrpPxVfipZgEqra-R6N_wotCPtYW0gD0LNLH0rEjLAlwUe5DyElYN6PpnUH_CSTtUyKtJEgRoWvMA_1rweg93Wo1kvTUiqrnh2IAx5ehKBVaSvGDqmvBWKzttVMW5M37d-1MCZLKOSNM-RAoP2vdysFepMS474PhksHhvLGH2w=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #050505; font-size: large;">Philip was very popular with people who knew him after he left "Alice" too, though they all had to overcome a certain amount of shyness in the young man.

He recognized that Philip wasn't like most of the people he met in Hollywood, he didn't have an angle. He was just who he was. Someone Charlie enjoyed spending time every chance he could. He would call Philip when he was facing a sea of troubles and Philip would cheer him up immediately.

Barry said Frawley c</span><span>ussed like a sailor and was cantankerous as hell. But the boys all knew it was an act and chuckled when he wasn't looking. Studio Producers appreciated the fact that the relationship and affection between the boys and Frawley was real. So they asked the boys to eat lunch with Bill every day. The restaurant they ate at was called Nickodell's, 50 yards from Desilu Studios front gate. Unfortunately for the show, but perfect for Bill, Nickodell's Restaurant served booze. Frawley would down Cutty Sark after Cutty Sark during lunch like a teenage yuppy trying to impress his buddies. But the boys could get Frawley to leave, when no one else could, by telling him they were going to get in trouble if they weren't back to the set on time. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">With a twinkle in his eyes, Bill would say, OK, OK and chuckle.

<br />
3500 soldiers have earned the Congressional Medal of Honor in the 250 year history of our country. 16-year-old Tom Custer wanted to join his brother Brevet General George Armstrong Custer, who gained a reputation as the bravest cavalry officer in the Union, every bit a match for Rebels JEB Stuart and Nathan Bedford Forrest. Well, though seldom remembered today Tom Custer was as brave, if not braver, than his brother. Starting with fake papers at the age of 16-years-old Tom enlisted with the rank of private, Tom received promotion after to promotion, finally being culled and assigned to US Grant's Command Staff and promoted to the rank of Major just in time for the Richmond Campaign. Pretty good for a 20-year-old young man. As Grant drove Lee's troops from Richmond to Petersburg, finally to Appomattox, both Custer brothers proved brilliant and courageous.But almost no one knows about Tom's courage. At one of the first engagements, the Battle of Namozine Church, in Grant's final push, Tom Custer charged the Confederate command and control of his entrenched opponents, single handily killing several Confederates, capturing 11 soldiers and officers, a canon and battery and finally their Regimental Flag. For this bravery, Tom received his first Congressional Medal of Honor. At the Battle of Sailor's Creek, almost exactly the same situation occurred again. Alone Tom charged his opponent's command and control, shooting several rebels, including the commanding officer, in the process capturing his second regimental flag before being shot himself. For this, Tom Custer was not only one of the youngest soldiers to ever win a Congressional Medal of Honor, he then became the first American Soldier in history to win TWO CONGRESSIONAL MEDALS OF HONOR.<br />

Stuart's last obstacle was Custer, with four hundred veteran troopers of the First Michigan Cavalry, directly in his path. Outnumbered but undaunted, Custer rode to the head of the regiment, "drew his saber, threw off his hat so they could see his long yellow hair" and shouted... "Come on, you Wolverines!" Custer formed his men in line of battle and charged. "So sudden was the collision that many of the horses were turned end over end and crushed their riders beneath them...." As the Confederate advance stopped, their right flank was struck by troopers of the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Michigan. McIntosh was able to gather some of his men from the First New Jersey and Third Pennsylvania and charged the rebel left flank. "Seeing that the situation was becoming critical, I Captain Miller turned to Lieutenant Brooke-Rawle and said: "I have been ordered to hold this position, but, if you will back me up in case I am court-martialed for disobedience, I will order a charge." The rebel column disintegrated into individual saber and pistol fights. Within twenty minutes the combatants heard the sound of the Union artillery opening up on Pickett's men. Stuart knew that whatever chance he had of joining the Confederate assault was gone. He withdrew his men to Cress Ridge. Custer's brigade lost 257 men at Gettysburg, the highest loss of any Union cavalry brigade. "I challenge the annals of warfare to produce a more brilliant or successful charge of cavalry", Custer wrote in his report. "For Gallant And Meritorious Services", he was awarded a regular army brevet promotion to Major.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-khbFmEPNWtY0CVzO-0EKI7UBADDoYeDBts1ue9FGtATtnJHnOdHAMfvF55Q_qZR8a63rHn3HfJdBNFEb630_Q8IoOWqVEcQ-YV38iaQVhh0JUITikfhuFo3G5Lv8gadLklAQLWn2yq2c/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1023" data-original-width="751" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-khbFmEPNWtY0CVzO-0EKI7UBADDoYeDBts1ue9FGtATtnJHnOdHAMfvF55Q_qZR8a63rHn3HfJdBNFEb630_Q8IoOWqVEcQ-YV38iaQVhh0JUITikfhuFo3G5Lv8gadLklAQLWn2yq2c/w469-h640/image.png" width="469" /></a></div><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXNJXPyqnFp1xR-Nd7ny00sYnICCDYINANR5xtleXjADzYJ8FdnWgnI55o8tblEkGqRzzZj4zqcIHjXhb33dYNrmCtsIHQBXOqrxgJxa21-hKjmspdYETP87iUS20Vn8pch832ZGr2At9c/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1679" data-original-width="1120" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXNJXPyqnFp1xR-Nd7ny00sYnICCDYINANR5xtleXjADzYJ8FdnWgnI55o8tblEkGqRzzZj4zqcIHjXhb33dYNrmCtsIHQBXOqrxgJxa21-hKjmspdYETP87iUS20Vn8pch832ZGr2At9c/w267-h400/image.png" width="267" /></a></div><br /><br />

General Stuart had 9500 cavalry officers under his command, while General Custer stalemated and thwarted Stuart's Confederate Cavalry with 400 Michigan Wolverines. Generals Grant and Sheridan gave Custer much credit for helping win the Battle of Gettysburg. General Robert E. Lee had intended to use JEB Stuart's forces to divide the Union Army and aid Pickett's Charge.<br />

Not to say George Armstrong Custer wasn't brave, he skyrocketed up the chain of command through incredible bravery on the field of battle and he earned battlefield promotions at both Gettysburg and the Calvary Battle at Brandywine Station. In recognition of Custer's brilliant contribution in the final drive to victory, from Gettysburg to Appomattox Courthouse, General Sheridan presented the table upon which General Lee's surrender was signed pictured here. The wicker chair was General Robert E. Lee CSA and the wood and leather chair General US Grant's at the surrender.<br />

Whatever your feeling of the Indian Wars, fostered by a policy of the Gilded Age's Manifest Destiny, that the White Man was meant to occupy North America from sea to sea. Soldiers simply follow orders and do as they are told. Both George Armstrong Custer and Tom Custer were brave and died the way a real soldiers should die, in service to their country, right or wrong.</div>

Word written by Roman Playwright Publius Terentius Afer (195 BC - 159 BC), which been a mantra of humanists for 2200 years, meaning all mankind are my brothers and sisters. Terence was born a Carthaginian slave after the 2nd Punic War with Hannibal. Punic is derived from the Latin Punici, Carthage was founded by Phoenicians, Punici is Latin for Phoenicians. Afer means from Africa. Terence was from north Africa, modern Libya. Carthage was the greatest enemy Rome ever had. Hannibal and the Carthaginians came very close to conquering Rome, devastating the whole Italian peninsula for 20 years, winning 28 battle in a row, killing 100,000's of Romans. Then Roman General Scipio Africanus decided the best way to beat Hannibal was to follow his example, he invaded Carthage, in modern Tunisia, and defeated Hannibal at Zama, destroying his, until then, undefeated army. Hannibal had premonition of disaster, after having defeated the Romans at Cannae, killing 50,000 Roman Legionnaires, Hannibal then laid siege to Rome itself. The Romans held a regularly scheduled land auction of the land on which Hannibal's Carthaginian Army was camped. The land brought a record price. Hannibal hearing of the auction, was stunned, any other enemy would be terrified and suing for peace. Romans laughed in his face. Though Roman parents would for centuries afterwards tell their children if they were bad, Hannibal would come get them. A quote </span></div>

Caesar built a second wall surrounding the Gallic Mountaintop walled fortress of Alesia to keep the Gauls in and starve them into submission. Romans were famous for their siege tactics. Caesar had begun building a third wall behind him, so if any Gallic Relief force came he had a defense against them too. Vercingetorix sent heralds, who escaped the city and evaded capture, to bring help. They rallied a relief army of 250,000 Gauls, which then surrounded Caesar's 50,000 Legionnaires. </div>

Rich Powerful Adults and connected Pimps committed the crime, but it was the kids who went to prison at hard labor. Victorian England was no paradise for children. This 15-year-old orphan is not connected to the Cleveland Street Scandal, but his parents died and he became homeless, living in the wood and taking odd jobs to earn food money. But to the police that was a grounds to send him to adult prison at hard labor for a year. That is not justice either.<br />

<span><div style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">General Post Office before it was torn down, this scandal began in the basement of this building when Henry Newlove introduced Charles Swinscow to sex.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">On july 15, 1889, a fifteen year old telegraph boy named Charles Swinscow was interviewed by Police Constable Luke Hanks in connection with a series of petty thefts at the Central Telegraph Office. Swinscow was found to have eighteen shillings on his person at the time of the interview, three to four times his weekly wage. PC Hanks asked Swinscow where he got the money. I got it doing some private work away from the office, Swinscow replied, adding that the work was for a gentleman named Hammond who lived at number 19 Cleveland Street and ordinary nondescript street situated between Regent Park and Oxford Street. PC Hanks repeatedly asked Swinscow what he had done to earn such a sum. I will tell you the truth, Swinscow eventually replied, I got the money for going to bed with gentlemen at his house. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">It transpired that Charles Swinscow had been introduced to Hammond and the male brothel at 19 Cleveland Street by a fellow employee of the General Post Office, Henry Newlove. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">In his statement, Swinscow told how, the previous September, I made the acquiantance of a boy named Newlove who was then a messenger in the Secretary's Office and is now a 3rd Class Clerk: </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Soon after I got to know him he asked me to to into the lavatory at the basement of the Post Office Building- we went into one water closet and shut the door and we behaved indecently together, the boys masturbated each other- we did this on several other occasions afterwards. In about a week's time Newlove said as near as I can recollect "Will you come to a house where you'll go to bed with gentlemen, you'll get four shillings each time."</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Swinscow claimed that he was reluctant to go to Cleveland Street but was at last persuaded by Newlove and the promise of money. Accompanied by Newlove, Swinscow went to Cleveland Street and was introduced to Mr. Hammond. he said--good evening, I'm very glad you've come, Swinscow recalled in his statement and detailed his first encounter with one of the Cleveland Street Brothel's Customers.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I waited a little while and another gentleman came in. Mr. Hammond introduced me, saying that this was the gentleman I was to go with that evening. I was to go into the back parlour, there was a bed there. We both undressed and being quite naked got into bed. He put his penis between my legs and an emission took place. I was with him about a half hour and then we got up.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Swinscow was not the only telegraph boy that Henry Newlove had recruited in this way for service in the Cleveland Street Brothel. George Wright was sixteen when he became friends with Newlove. Newlove used to speak to him in lobbies and eventually persuaded him to go down to the basement toilet. On one or two occasions, certainly more than once, Wright deposed, Newlove put his person into me, that is to say my behind and something came from him. Newlove took Wright to the Cleveland Street where he was introduced to Hammond. Another Gentleman came in who I should know again, Wright Said, a rather foreign looking chap.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I went with the latter into a bedroom on the same floor and we both undressed and we got into bed quite naked. He told me to suck him. I did so. he then had a go between my legs and that was all. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Newlove also persuaded George Wright to find another "nice little boy" to take to Cleveland street. Wright introduced him to a seventeen year old boy Charles Thickbroom. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Newlove took Thickbroom down to the basement lavatory of the old Post Office building and subsequently recounted to George Wright how he had tried to have anal sex with Thickbroom. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">On one occasion at least Newlove told Wright I put my person into his hind parts. I could not get in, though I tried and emitted. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Almost by accident, PC Hanks had uncovered a network of male prostitution involving telegraphy boys. Scotland Yard was called in and a warrant for the arrest of Hammond was issued. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">But when the police arrived at Cleveland Street to apprehend him that he had fled abroad. A warrant for Henry Newlove was also issued and he was successfully arrested and charged with the abominable crime of buggery against George Wright and divers other persons. Newlove was not prepared to carry the entire burden of the scandal, telling the man who arrested him, Chief Inspector Abberline of the Criminal Investigations Division of Scotland Yard, I think it is hard that I should get into trouble while men in high positions are allowed to walk free. What do you mean? Abberline asked. Why replied Newlove, Lord Arthur Somerset goes regularly to the house on Cleveland Street, so does Earl Euston and Colonel Jervois.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">These were names to conjure with. Lord Arthur Somerset, nicknamed Podge was 38 years old and the son of the Duke of Beaufort and the Younger brother of Lord Henry Somerset, who had fled to Florence in 1879 to avoid a public scandal over his affair with a young man. Harry Smith. </span></div><div style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;"><br /></div></span>

19 Cleveland Street was the site of one of the most serious scandals during the Victorian Era. <span style="text-align: center;">Prince Albert Victor was implicated in the scandal by his friend Lord Arthur Somerset. Thinking is 50/50 that the Prince was involved, had knowledge or participated, but as a strategy it worked perfectly for Somerset, he was given advance notice of an arrest warrant and fled to France, probably the best place to live in exile. Several sources indicate that honest Inspector Abberline, famous for leading the Jack the Ripper Investigation, was appalled at how<b> strings were pulled to protect the adults but the boys were sentenced to hard labor. Boys are beaten, tortured and raped in prison. </b></span></span></div>

One of the boys and a man who lived at the house pleaded guilty in return for a relatively light sentence, thus preventing the necessity of presenting evidence at a court trial. The authorities wished to hush up the affair because a large number of important men were implicated, including Lord Arthur Somerset, the Earl of Euston, and even Prince Albert Victor (second in line to the throne). The authorities successfully delayed the investigation until many men could flee the country, including the keeper of the house, and Lord Arthur Somerset. Rumours nevertheless circulated and early reports appeared in the American newspapers, and eventually a newspaper editor published some explicit charges in London. The Earl of Euston successfully sued the editor for libel, claiming that he had visited Cleveland Street only under the mistaken impression that he would see female striptease shows there, and in any case he certainly had not fled to Peru as the newspaper falsely alleged. Several telegraph boys testified that Euston was in fact a frequent visitor to Cleveland Street, and the notorious male prostitute Jack Saul testified that he had often had relations with Euston on the premises. This evidence was dismissed as "tainted" (how could it be otherwise?) and the editor was sent to prison for 12 months, though he was released after six months due to public outrage at the severity of the sentence. Somerset's lawyer was subsequently tried and imprisoned for perverting the course of justice by offering to maintain the telegraph boys if they emigrated. The keeper of the house attempted to blackmail his aristocratic clients from his new base in Seattle. The fiery Radical MP Henry Labouchere used his privilege in the House of Commons to expose the Prime Minister's involvement in the government conspiracy to prevent investigation and to allow important men to escape justice. The following account documents the scandal entirely through contemporary newspaper accounts, selected and slightly abridged to avoid repetition.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">12 November 1889</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A DISGRACEFUL LONDON CLUB SCANDAL.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Six sittings have been held at the Marlborough-street court, London, to inquire into abominable charges made against members of the West End club. Several lads, postal messengers, were arrested in connection with the case. The scandal involves an eminent liberal politician, an officer attached to the royal household and several peers. Some of the accused are reported to have fled. The magistrates who conducted the investigation sent a report of the result to the government, asking what course the authorities ought to follow. The government did not desire to spread the scandal if the offenders would exile themselves, and the proceedings have accordingly been abandoned.

So far as they may be touched upon they are that the police raided a house in Fitzroy square that has been frequented by high officials in the army, noblemen and others of elevated social standing. Their discoveries were such that active criminal prosecution of the offenders was begun and suddenly stopped. The reason was that the names involved were of the most influential men in the kingdom. The result is that there has been an exodus from England of several noblemen and gentlemen who have previously stood highest in English society. Lord Arthur Somerset, who resigned his commission in the guards last week in consequence of this scandal, has also resigned his position as equerry in the Prince of Wales' household. [Prince] Albert Victor's sudden trip to India is said to be not unconnected with discoveries made by police in Fitzroy square. The Earl of Euston and Lord Beaumont have also gone abroad, probably for their country's good. It is rumored that Chief Commissiner of Police Munroe has threatened to resign in consequence of the interference by the higher powers in thie prosecution of the men implicated in this scandal.

Hundreds of members are implicated. Thirty warrants of arrest have been issued, but their execution is withheld on condition that the persons charged with crime leave the country. The offenders include future dukes, a duke's son, another peer, a Jewish financier, many honorables, a parson and several officers of the army. The latter suddenly resigned their commissions. All the principal offenders have fled. Efforts had been made to suppress the affair, but the story became known in the clubs and newspaper offices and the outline as above, which is all that can be given at present, is true in every respect.

There is always something peculiarily offensive or attractive – whichever you liike – about a British scandal. It has become an axiom that when a bank cashier has been a particularly pious man his flight makes a bigger hole in the assets than ordinary. By the same rule, when anything happens in England to shock the proprieties so dear to the English bosom, these proprieties get an astonishing amount of sensation for their money.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Ten days ago it looked as if the official pressure was going to succeed in hushing up the</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">TREMENDOUS ARISTOCRATIC SCANDAL.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Everybody was talking about it, and passing on distorted versions to his fellows. But there was a general feeling that it would never get into the Courts. Now the prospect is different. Mr. Labouchere has said frankly in this week's Truth: "What if the matter is 'Burked' by the authorities, it will be brought up immediately when Parliament meets, and ventilated to the very dregs in the House of Commons."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> This threat, ominously enough, follows a paragraph alluding to the costly apartments being fitted up for [Prince] Albert Victor in St. James' Palace, the expense of which the Commons will be asked to meet. No connection between these two paragraphs is suggested, but it is obvious to everybody that there has come to be within the past few days a general conviction that this long-necked, narrow-headed, young dullard was mixed up in the scandal, and out of this had sprung a half-whimsical, half-serious notion, which one hears propounded now about clubland, that matters will be so arranged that he will never return from India. The most popular idea is that he will be killed in a tiger hunt, but runaway horses or a fractious elephant might serve as well. What this really mirrors is a public awakening to the fact that this stupid, perverse boy has become a man, and has duly two highly precarious lives between him and the English throne, and is</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">AN UTTER BLACKGUARD AND RUFFIAN.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Heretofore people have not known much about him, save that he was a dull chap whose nickname was Prince Collars and Cuffs. The revelation now that he is something besides a harmless simpleton has created a very painful feeling everywhere. Although he looks so strikingly like his mother, it turns out that he gets only his face from the Danish race, and that morally and mentally he combines the worst attributes of those sons of George III. at whose mention history still holds her nose. It is not too early to predict that such a fellow will never be allowed to ascend the British throne; that is as clear as anything can well be. It is equally clear that the suppression of the scandal in which he, with some dozens of young and middle-aged samples of nobility and gentry of England is involved, has become impossible, and that every day the attempt is further persisted in will do enormous damage not only to the Government but to the aristocratic social structure generally. There is more indignation and ruffling of the equanimity of the English mind just now than I have ever seen before. Very little more repression will be needed to bring it to fever heat, but, as I have said, the whole scandal is going to come out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Paris press for a week has been full of the most exaggerated and sensational accounts of the thing. Le Matin leading the way in an outspoken onslaught on London society under the suggestive caption of</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">"LA SODOME MODERNE."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The effects of this terrible revelation, when sooner or later it is forced into daylight, can not but be prodigious upon the whole political and social edifice of contemporary England. From my points of view, the necessity of a full exposure will seem most lamentable, but there will be more than compensation if an effective blow is dwelt in this wretched little glass of titled young loafers and scoundrels who have brought the name of English gentlemen down into the mud. (Cincinnati Commercial Gazette)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">20 November 1889</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">THE SCANDAL OF CLEVELAND STREET.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">THREATENED PROSECUTION FOR LIBEL AND CONSEQUENT EXPOSURE.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The foul scandal which has filled London with prurient gossip since the end of September seems likely now to come into open court. The facts of the case are simple. In a house of evil fame in Cleveland-street, off Tottenham-court road, last September, the police seized two persons, a man of forty, named Veck, and a clerk of eighteen, named Newlove, who were accused of offences similar to those which led to the Cornwall-French trials in Dublin. Both at the police-court and at the Old Bailey the proceedings were smuggled through in secrecy, and all that is known in public is that Veck was sentenced to four months' [actually, 9 months] and Newlove to nine months' [actually, 4 months] imprisonment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> It was put about, however, on what seemed to be good authority, that a number of letters and cards were found by the police, which they seized, and used in compiling a list of frequenters of the house, the black catalogue containing the names of many persons of good birth, though of indifferent morals. Instead of acting at once on this information the Home Office refused to allow anything to be done until the matter was considered by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister shrank from all responsibility until he consulted his Cabinet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Meantime, the chief persons accused had disappeared, and malicious gossip declares that the scruples of Ministers were carefully conceived in order to give time to the accused to depart, so as to avoid the exposure, which was dreaded.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> At the first meeting of the Cabinet held after the recess warrants were issued against some of the accused, but all efforts to ascertain the names of those persons against whom the warrants were issued have hitherto failed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Inquiries of the police (who, it might be thought, should be able to give information) elicit reports more or less misleading, and one of those reports finding its way into print has led to proceedings which will finally frustrate all the efforts that have been made to hush the matter up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> On Saturday next at eleven o'clock Mr. George Lewis, instructed by the Earl of Euston, eldest son of the Duke of Grafton, and heir to the title and estates, will apply for a fiat to take criminal proceedings against Mr. Parke, editor of the North London Press, for having stated that the Earl of Euston was mixed up in the Cleveland-street scandal, and that he had been allowed to leave the country and to defeat the ends of justice.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> There is therefore every probability of the whole noisome matter, with the names of those concerned, being brought into the public courts, and everything turns upon the question of identity. If tried as a case of mistaken identity, then the witnesses called for the defence of Mr. Parke will be liable to examination and cross-examination concernng every person whom they can swear they met at the house in question.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The prospect is anything but pleasant either for the public or for the parties concerned, but the course taken by Lord Euston seems to render it inevitable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere in Truith of to-day says: – A nobleman [i.e. Lord Arthur Somerset] holding a position at Court was implicated by the depositions of the Postal inquiry that had taken place, and by the telegraph boys who would have been called as witnesses if the prisoners had not pleaded guilty. He was asked by a high Court official to explain matters, and at once fled the country. Hamond, the owner of the house, has also gone abroad. Warrants were subsequently issued against these two men. I am further informed that the house was not let to Hamond, but to four gentlemen. The names are known, and are common talk at every club. It is pretty clear that matters cannot be allowed to rest here. Very possibly many who are suspected are innocent, and in their interest, as well as in the public interest, no effort should be spared to bring home the guilt to those really guilty. (Pall Mall Gazette)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">[At the trial at the Old Bailey, George Daniel Veck, age 40, and Henry Horace Newlove, age 18, together with Charles Hammond, not in custody, were charged "for procuring George Alma Wright and others to commit certain obscene acts, and also to conspiracy". Veck pleaded guilty to the 16th and 17th counts and was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour, while Newlove pleaded guilty to the first thirteen counts and was sentenced to four months' hard labour. According to the more detailed Trial Calendar of Prisoners (TNA CRIM19, piece 35), Veck, a minster, was taken into custody on 20 August 1889, and tried on 18 September, on the charges of "Conspiring and agreeing together with Charles Hammond to incite and procure George Barber, George Alma Wright, Charles Thomas Swinscow, Charles Ernest Thickbroom, William Meech Perkins, and Algernon Edward Allies, to commit an abominable crime", as well as committing an act of gross indecency with George Barber and Algernon Edward Allies. He pleaded Guilty to Gross Indecency and was sentenced to nine months in Pentonville Prison. Newlove, a clerk, was taken into custody on 8 July, and tried on 18 September, on the charges of procuring the commission by the aforementioned youths Barber, Wright, Swinscow, Thickbroom, Perkins, and Allies "of divers acts of gross indecency with other male persons", and further charged with himself "attempting to commit an abominable crime" with Wright, and actually "committing acts of gross indecency" with Wright and with Swinscow. He pleaded guilty to procuring the commission of gross indecency by male persons and was sentenced to four months in Pentonville Prison.]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">21 November 1889</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">THE LONDON SCANDALS.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It is generally agreed that the early weeks of the session will be taken up first with the debate on the Address, and next with even more prolonged discussion n the genesis of the Parnell Commission. It is, however, quite on the cards that another subject may thrust itself to the front, with a result deeply hurtful, if not fatal, to the Government. This is what is now known as the Cleveland-street scandal. Mr. Labouchere has taken this matter in hand, and knows a great deal more about it than he discloses in the pages of "Truth." He will, he expects, be able to bring home to the Government a grave charge of collusion, directly and indirectly, with the titled criminals who have fled, leaving in the lurch some inconsiderable men and boys whose case was secretly disposed of in one of the police courts. For political reasons a majority in the House of Commons may cling to the Ministry through thick and thin where the question is merely one of Home Rule for Ireland. But it is very different when it comes to a case of hoodwinking justice and assisting the escape of abominable criminals because they happened to be of aristocratic birth and well known in society. The English people are swift to anger in a matter of this kind; and any member, whatever his politics, who assisted in shiedling a Minsitry against whom even grave suspicion on such matters rested would have little chance of re-election. (Northampton Chronicle and Echo)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">21 November 1889</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The Prince of Wales arrived in London, on his return from Athens, at one o'clock on Monday morning, and he did not sleep late, for before the luncheon-hour on that day it became known among his entourage that he had determined to have what is now frankly called "the scandal of Cleveland Street" completely investigated, and, if found necessary, publicly exposed. It was in consequence of this resolution that, after having received that afternoon at Marlborough House a visit from the Duke of Cambridge, the Prince subsequently the same day went to Gloucester House to have another interview with the Commander-in-Chief, for well-known men both at the Court and in the army are alleged to be involved. What would have followed from this prompt action on the part of the Prince of Wales can hardly now be guessed, for the announcement made to-day that criminal proceedings for libel against a suburban newspaper will be taken for having directly charged the son of a peer with being concerned in the scandalous affair, will precipitate a legal enquiry, which cannot end until all the truth be learned. From various points of view the necessity for such an investigation is deplorable, but matters had gone so far that it was impossible much longer to hush up the affair. (Birmingham Daily Post)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">23 November 1889</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">WARRANT ISSUED.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Following the application in Chambers to Mr. Justice Field, upon which the learned judge authorised criminal proceedings against Ernest Parke, editor of the North London Press for libelling the Earl of Euston, Mr. Goerge Lewis this afternoon at Bow street made a formal application to Mr. Vaughan for a summons against Mr. Parke. Mr. lewis entered the court at half-past three, accompanied by Lord Euston, but the application was not immediately made, his Worship being occupied in hearing a case. The sworn information of Lord Euston set forth that the North London Press on the 16th November published a paragraph stating that on September 28 that journal said that amongst a number of aristocrats mixed up in the indescribable, loathsome scandal in Cleveland street, Tottenham Court road, was the heir of a Duke, the Earl of Euston, who had departed to Paris. The paragraph also alluded to the younger son of a Duke, and said, "These men have been allowed to leave the country because their prosecution would disclose the fact that a few more distinguished and more highly placed personages than themselves were inculpated in this disgusting crime. The crminals in the case are to be numbered by the score." These allegations affecting himself Lord Euston declared untrue and also informed the Court that Ernest Parke, of the Star newspaper and North London Press, was the person against whom he applied for a warrant. At four o'clock Mr. Lewis made a formal application to his worship, first reading Lord Euston's deposition. Lord Euston was then sworn, and deposed to the truth of his affidavit. Mr. Vaughan thereupon ordered a warrant to be issued. (Sheffield Evening Telegraph)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">23 November 1889</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">. . . As only one name is involved in this particular suit, it may be that even a plea of justification on the part of the defendant newspaper would not avail to have the whole case thoroughly investigated; but it is scarcely possible for the enquiry to end without bringing in the names of various well-known personages. One of these is now openly given in print, and no proceedings on his behalf have yet been instituted, it being understood that he is not in England.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> From the public point of view the gravest feature of the charges now made is not that affecting individuals, but highly-placed members of the Cabinet. The accusation is briefly this: That the information affecting the keeper of a certain house in Cleveland Street and some of its alleged frequenters, including a Court official, was in the hands of the authorities at the end of July; that for two months this, as far as these persons were concerned, was not acted upon; that immediately after the newspaper now involved had pointed to the existence of the scandal the keeper of the house and the Court official, against both of whom warrants are asserted to have been subsequently issued, fled the country; that the resigation by the latter of his various posts was received and gazetted some weeks later; and that in the meanwhile, at the suggestion of our own Foreign Office, the keeper of the house had been expelled from France as a mauvais sujet. This last point is a charge of peculiar gravity, and abundant evidence of its truth must be awaited before it can in any way be credited. How necessary is reserve at this juncture will be shown during the progress of the coming enquiry, in which, I hear, Mr. Lockwood, Q.C., will lead for the defence. (Birmingham Daily Post)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">25 November 1889</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENCE</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For some weeks past paragraphs have appeared in many journals hinting at a great scandal in the West End of London, implicating several well-known noblemen. These innuendoes also set forth that two of the delinquents in poor circumstances, were convicted of the offence at the Central Criminal Court, but that the trial was taken at an unusual hour in the morning in order that it might be hurried through without the knowledge of the public. If the other statements are as baseless as the last mentioned all I can say is that the scandalmongers have found a mare's nest. The trial referred to took place last September in the open court, and was duly recorded in the Old Bailey Sessions papers. The two men pleaded guilty, and not a word was said by counsel to eonnect them with the West End scandal, save that the house where the crime was committed was situated in Cleveland Street, Cavendish Square. One was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment and his companion to nine months. The proprietor of the house, said to be an unbeneficed clergyman, was indicted along with them, but he absconded before the trial and has not been heard of. A local newspaper called the "North London Press," which has been in existence for only a few months, gave what it called an authentic account of the scandal, stating that one of the noblemen implicated was Lord Euston, and that his lordship had run away to Peru. The editor of this journal is named Ernest Parke, and is also sub-editor of Mr T. P. O'Connor's "Star." Lord Euston has commenced an action for libel against him, and on Saturday afternoon obtained a warrant for his arrest from the magistrate at Bow Street. Mr Parke has surrendered himself to this warrant, and is at the moment of writing in the cells of the Bow Street Police Station, the officer in charge having declined to grant bail. Mr Parke will be brought before the magistrate this morning.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Lord Euston, who has brought the charge against the editor, is the eldest son of the Duke of Grafton, and consequently heir to the dukedom. He is a tall, slender man, between thirty-five and forty years of age, with a long blonde moustache. In his time he has seen a good deal of life. Four or five years ago he tried to get his early marriage nullified, but the skilful strategy of his solicitor, Mr George Lewis, and the able advocacy of Sir Charles Russell were of no avail, and his lordship's suit was unsuccessful. The Countess of Euston, and prospective Duchess of Grafton, lives in one of the terraces around Regent's Park, on a liberal allowance provided out of her husband's estates. Since then, Lord Duston himself has seldom been heard of, except in Freemasonry. Of late years he has taken much interest in ths pursuit, and is at this moment Provincial Grand Master of one of the Midland counties. The best proof that he has not gone to Peru, as stated in the "North London Press," was his appearance at Bow Street on Saturday afternoon in company with his solicitor, Mr George Lewis, to swear the information against Mr Ernest Parke. The development of the case will be interesting. As an authentic statement will be made to-day it is useless even to hint at the many rumours flying about the clubs – many of the most sensational and exaggerated kind – as to what the forthcoming evidence will be.

The alleged libel was contained in a paragraph headed "The West-end Scandals." – Mr George Lewis prosecuted. – Mr Lockwood, Q.C., M.P., and Mr Asquith, M.P., were counsel for the defendant, and watching briefs were held by Mr Gill, barrister, and Messrs B. Abrahams and A. Newton on behalf of other persons whose names had been mentioned in connection with the scandals.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The proceedings commenced shortly after 3 o'clock, at which time the Court was crowded.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Lewis in opening the case said Lord Euston complained of a libel pubilshed by the defendant in a paper called the North London Press, of Nov. 16th, 1889. The newspaper was not registered at Somerset House, as required by law, but he should prove that the defendant was the proprietor and editor. The libel charged Lord Euston with having committed a felony. The libel had already been before the bench, and the magistrate would notice it was alleged that the Earl of Euston was "one of a number of distinguished aristocrats who were mixed up in the indescribably loathsome scandal in Cleveland-street, Tottenham-court road," and it went on to say that these men had been allowed to leave the country. Now, if there had been the least inquiry, it would have been ascertained that Lord Euston was living where he always lived at 4, Euston-place. It went on to say that these men had been allowed to leave the country "because their prosecution would disclose the fact that a few more highly-placed personages than themselves were inculpated in this disgusting crime." The libel, therefore, was that Lord Euston had committed a felony of an atrocious character, and that was the libel for which he should ask the Court to commit the defendant to take his trial. The circumstances, so far as Lord Euston was concerned were these: He would say that he had never committed any crime of any sort or kind, and that this statement was absolutely without foundation so far as he was concerned; that he never left the country, and that there had never been any warrant out for his apprehension. The whole thing, in fact, was a fabrication from beginning to end. All Lord Euston knew of the matter was simply this:– That one evening, at the end of May or the beginning of June, he was walking in Picadilly at eleven o'clock, and a man put a card into his hand, on which were the words "Pose Plastique;" then the name of the proprietor, and "Cleveland-street, Tottenham Court-road." Lord Euston did not know what became of the card, but about a week afterwards he went at 11 o'clock at night. A man opened the door and asked him for a sovereign, which he gave him, and he was shown into the parlour. Then the man made some indecent proposal to him, and he called him a filthy blackguard and said he would knock him down if he did not allow him to pass, and then he went out of the house. That was all the knowledge which he had upon this matter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Evidence was first given that Mr Parke was the proprietor and editor of the paper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Lord Euston was then examined by Mr Lewis. He had seen the North London Press of November 16th, and he at once gave instructions for criminal prosecution for libel in respect of matters contained in that paper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Is there any truth, Lord Euston, that you have been guilty of the crime alleged in the paper against you? – Certainly not.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Continuing, witness said there was no truth in the statement that a warrant had been issued for his apprehension. He had not been out of England since he came back.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Will you state in Court what you know of this house in Cleveland-street? – All I know is that I was waking one night in Piccadilly, I can't say the date, but it was at the end of May or the beginning of May [he meant June], when a card was put into my hand which was headed "Pose Plastique, Hammond, 19, Cleveland-street." Witness, continuing, said he went there about a week afterwards, about half-past ten o'clock at night. The door was opened by a man who demanded a sovereign, which he gave him. He then asked when the poses palstiques were going to take place. The man said there was nothing of that sort.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Lockwood here objected to the conversation being repeated.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Lewis: The libel alleged that Lord Euston was mixed up in having committed crime in Cleveland-street. He had a right to show what he did.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Lockwood: I have no objection to Mr Lewis showing what Lord Euston did, but what he said his learned friend was not entitled to refer to.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Vaughan agreed with Mr Lockwood.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Examination continued: Witness said he left the house immediately, and he had never been there since or previously. He had no knowledge of the house other than the one visit in connection with that house. If not objected to, you came here prepared to state what had passed? – I did. This concluded the examination.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Lockwood said he did not propose to enter into any detailed cross-examination, because his client wished the matter to come before the final tribunal as soon as possible. He would, however, ask a few question.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examined by Mr Lockwood, the witness said he had been in the army, in the Rifle Brigade; but he was gazetted out, in 1871, he thought. He was now in the 1st Volunteer Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment. The newspaper in question was first brought to his attention on Monday of last week. He at once gave instructions for a prosecution.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Now this statement that you have made to-day – When did you first make it? – About the middle of October.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> This thing happened, as I understand, in the month of June, and your first statement with regard to it was made in the month of October? Have you made a statement to the Home Office about it? – No.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> At the Treasury? – No.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Have you made no statement to any official either at the Treasury or the Home Office? –I have had no communication of any sort or kind with any official either at the Treasury or the Home Office. That I swear.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> You said that the first statement you made was in October – to private friends, I presume? – Yes, to private friends.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Is Lord Arthur Somerset a friend of yours? – I know him.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Where did you see him last? – Last summer; sometime during the season. I have met him in society. I have not seen him since.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Do you know where he is? – I do not know where he is.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> After this occurrence in May or June you say you read the card? – Yes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> How long afterwards? – When I got home. I think when I got home and took my coat off. I could not read it in the street, and shoved it into my pocket; and when I got home I took it out to see what it was.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Was it a printed card? – It was lithographed, but "pose plastique" was in writing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Was the gentleman who was giving out these cards in Piccadilly distributing them generally or were you specially favoured? – I cannot tell. I was walking along, and one was shoved into my hand. I cannot tell whether he was distrubting them promiscuously. I did not see him give a card to anybody else.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> You had not time to stop and read it under the lamppost? – No. I do now know what you are laughing at. I did not think of stopping to read it under the lamppost.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> How long elapsed between your looking at the card and going to the house? – At least a week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Then of course you kept the card during that time? – Yes, I did. I should say I went to the house about the second week in June between half-past ten and eleven o'clock.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> What became of the card? – I destroyed it. I was so sigusted at what I found at the place that I did not want to have anything more to do with it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Did you burn it or tear it up? – I should think I tore it up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> You remember tearing it up in disgust and indignation? – Yes; I was very angry with myself for having been there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> From what passed in that house you have no doubt in your own mind what the character of the house is that you went to? – Not the smallest.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> It is a house, as I understand you to say, of your own knowledge – where crimes such as those alluded to in the libel was probably being committed? – I should think that they might have been committed there, and probably were from what was said to me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> That was your experience of the house? – Yes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Re-examined by Mr Lewis: You have been asked from what passed in the house if you have any doubt as to the character of the house. what did pass and what did the man say to you after you had given him the sovereign, and after the inquiry as to the "Pose plastique?" – He said, "There is nothing of that sort here."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Witness here described how a disgusting proposal was made to him.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> What did you say? – I said, "You infernal scoundrel, if you don't let me out of the house at once I will knock you down."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> And did you at once leave the house? – I did. Up to the moment that he made that statement to you, had you any knowledge whatever about this house other than what appeared on the card? – None whatever.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Magistrate: Nor any suspicion? – Lord Euston: No.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Lockwood (to the magistrate): That Sir, at present, is all I have to ask Lord Euston.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Lewis: You had never been there before? – No.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Nor heard of it until recoveing that card? – No.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> You were asked whether your first statement about it was not made until October. Was it until October that some public mention was made of this case? – Thereabouts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> From what you heard?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Lockwood objected to the witness being asked what he had heard.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Magistrate: How came you to make the statement in October?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Lord Euston: Because a rumour had got about, and I went and consulted with some friends of mine as to what I should do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Lewis: Then you made the statement to several friends? – Yes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> In reply to the questin as to whether he had anything to say, Mr Parke said. "I reserve my defence."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Vaughan then commimtted him for trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr Lockwood said he hoped that in considering the qustion of bail, his Worship would bear in mind the fact that from the first Mr Parke had shown anxiety to meet the charge, and had not shown the slightest intention of shrinking from it. Mr Vaughan said it was a case of very great gravity, and he should require such bail as would certainly secure the attendance of the defendant at the trial which would take place next month. "I shall require two sureties in £250 each."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> These were forthcoming, and Mr Parke left the court with his friends.

It was so in Greece, Rome, the Italian Republics, and France before the Revolution. There is no example to the contrary; so we may take it that this shocking depravity of the English aristocracy at this moment is the symptom of their approaching dissolution. Your friends in the State may try to hide your shame; a class Government may interpose with the police on your behalf; magistrates and judges may assist in the conspiracy; but vice, like murder, will out. All the world is aware that many among you have been guilty of unspeakable crimes, from the consequences of which you aRe shielded by your position, influence, and wealth. Two of the minor instruments of your unbridled lust have been punished; but you, the authors and instigators, walk freely abroad, although your names and the details of yourr crimes are known to the public and the police.. Here is a lesson for the democracy to take to heart. The aristocracy, our governors, may with impunity commit crimes for which humbler citizens are punished with severity. Hence it is clear that the laws are made by the classes for the oppression of the masses.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> . . . Where, I ask, are the thousand and one moral organizations of the country, when criminal vice in high places is being protected by the authorities? Is a common jade, or something worse, to direct the counsels of the Cabinet? Are hermaphrodites enthroned in Scotland-yard? Is the ensign of the great united Tory and Coercionist party in future to be a he-goat, or a lump of mud? Shall Cabinet meetings be movable feasts – now sitting in Cleveland-street, now in Pimlico? Where are the depositions of the boys of the one place and of the rosebuds of the others? Must our mouths remain closed while this foul crime is being perpetrated in the sight of man? Or must we expect that in the coming time there will be attached to the bureau of every Tory Minister, as there is attached to the person of the shaw of Persia, a boy-favourite, and that the meetings of the Primrose League Dames will be presided over by a battered trull? . . .

Many years back something of the same sort took place, and possibly the police may point to it as a precedent for what they have now done. The Bishop of Clogher was arrested in the act of perpetrating what was then a capital crime, with a private soldier of the Guards. They were both arrested, but on learning the high position of the right reverend culprit, he was admitted to bail, and forthwith absconded abroad, and was no more heard of. What became of his accomplice we know not. The existence amongst us of a Sodomite institution is a matter of a far more serious nature than his lordship, judging by the way in which he gave his evidence, would seem to think.

In the first place, the opening of the December Session of the Central Criminal Court at the Old Bailey yesterday has directed public attention to the prosecution of Mr. Ernest Parke by Lord Euston for libel, the grand jury having found a true bill. the arrival of the American mail yesterday, bringing with it the American newspapers, has been eagerly expected, for it is well known that the representatives of Yankee journalism have been busily engaged in hunting up all the facts which could be ascertained, and telegraphing them without reserve to the newspapers by which they are employed. Indeed, one enterprising paper has had an ex-detective "on the job," and the result is a mass of "copy" in which names, which could not be mentioned here under penalty of actions of libel, are freely given, including one of very high standing indeed. The papers which have gone fully into the matter cannot be purchased in London, every copy having been bought up. Last night it was rumoured that the Treasury had taken action which will necessitate the complete disclosure of the whole business.

A lad connected with the Post Office was suspected of stealing, and the matter was placed in the hands of the police. On July 2 he was called before Mr Phillips, an official of the Office, and was qustioned by a constable named Hanks. The lad explained that he had obtained the money of which he was in possession at 19 Cleveland Street. He incriminated other lads, who on being called told the same story. All stated that they had been induced to go to Cleveland Street by Newlove, a clerk in the Post Office; that the house in Cleveland Street belonged to one Hammond; and that a clergyman, or a person who dressed as a clergyman and called himself one, named Veck, was Hammond's confederate. On July 7 Newlove, who was being taken to the Police Court, gave certain names to Constable Hanks, and on July 8 he gave a name to Inspector Abberline. On July 9 Hanks went to Newlove's mother's home. When there Veck called, offered to get a solicitor to defend Newlove, and to give money. This was overheard by Hanks. On August 30 Veck was arrested, and he and Newlove were charged before the Magistrate at Marlborough Police Court. The case was heard on that day, on August 27, on September 3, and September 4. On this last day the two were committed. They were almost surreptitiously put in the dock of the Old Bailey, when there was hardly any one in the Court, pleaded guilty, and were sentenced to a few months' imprisonment by the Recorder. Hammond, the proprietor of the house, had fled the country on July 6. On July 5 Newlove had told Hammond that an investigation was taking place. On July 6 Hammond and Veck were seen to leave Cleveland Street – the former with a carpet bag. He was subsequently seen in Paris. Thence he went to Brussels, and then embarked for the United States, where he now is. On July 9 Constable Sladden was put to watch the house in Cleveland Street with another person (probably one of the lads). With this other person he watched until July 12. He saw "a great many gentlemen" come to the house, ring at the bell, and when it was not answered go away. On July 10 the furniture was removed, and on that day Veck passed three times before the house. From the 13th to July 30 he watched the house alone. The lads gave full descriptions of several of the gentlemen they had seen at the house. For instance, four them gave these details of evidently the same individual:– A very tall man, with little side whickers, a moustache short cut, and hair of a light colour; a very tall man, with light brown hair, and side whiskers of reddish hue, he wore his hat on one side; the man was in evening dress, had red whiskers, rather long, a moustache, a bald head, and was about 6 feet 2 inches or 3 inches; a rather tall man, with side whiskers, a bald head, and rather fair. A warrant, after considerable delay, was obtained against a nobleman [i.e. Lord Arthur Somerset] who was one of the visitors. But what then happened? His friends applied to Mr Monro to state whether he was compromised. Mr Monro naturally declined to reply. On October 18 Lord Salisbury was applied to. He at once said that the nobleman would be arrested the next day. On the evening of the day that this intimation was so benevolently given the person put himself out of British jurisdiction, and went to Vimille, near Boulogne. From there he went to Conxtantinople, via Brussels, and offered his services to the Sultan. He is now, I believe, in Hungary. At Constantinople (and this shows more than anything else the criminal wickedness of allowing him to escape) he explained that he had left England to screen a highly-placed person – a falsehood of the basest and most baneful description. But what are we to think of the almost nominal sentences on Veck when he pleaded guilty! I assert that a grosser miscarriage of "justice" never took place in a Court of law than this sentence. It is quite impossible that this can be passed over.

Stephenson, solicitor to the Treasury, conducted the prosecution; Mr. Gill, barrister, defended Mr. Newton, and Mr. St. John Wontner appeared for the other defendants.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Avory, in opening the proceedings, said that on July 4 last a telegraph messenger in the service of the Post Office was questioned by a constaable on the establishment as to some money that was missing, and accounted for money in his possession by stating that he obtained it at the house, No. 19, Cleveland-street. Other boys were also indicated as having visited the house, and statement were obtained from lads named Wright and Thickbroom. All of these boys mentioned a lad named Newlove, also in the service of the Post Office, as the person who had introduced them to the house. The lads were thereupon suspended and the matter placed in the hands of the police, with the result that warrants were obtained against Newlove and a man named Hammond, who was alleged to be a principal in the matter. Newlove was arrested on July 7, but as, on his suspension, he had communicated the fact to Hammond, that person contrived to escape, and the house was closed. Newlove was remanded from time to time, and on the 25th July the matter was placed by the Home Office in the hands of the Director of Public Prosecutions. Inquiries were then made and statements taken for the purpose of ascertaining how far, if at all, the evidence of these lads could be corroborated, as it was clear that no charge of visiting and using the house could be sustained against any person upon the mere statement of accomplices. On the 20th of August, Veck, a man who habitually assumed the garb of a clergyman and who could be indentified by independent witnesses as one who assisted in the management of the concern, was arrested. Documents were found upon him which directed the attention of the police to a boy named Alliss, who lived at Sudbury, in Suffolk. On the police going to that address on the 23d of August they found that, in consequence of an anonymous letter received on the previous day, the lad had destroyed a number of letters which might have afforded valuable corroborative evidence against visitors to the house. Next day Alliss was brought to the Treasury, and on the same day the defendant De Galla, it was believed, called on the parents at Sudbury and inquired whether their son had left any letters at home. He was answered in the negative, and told that the police had taken him away; on which he remarked that he wished he had called earlier. At the police-court Alliss and other boys gave evidence against Hammond, and also against other person, whom they could describe, but without knowing who they were. On the 11th of September Newlove and Veck were committed for trial for offences against the Criminal Law Amendment Act, and on the 18th they were brought up in the ordinary way at the Central Criminal Court, and having pleaded guilty to various counts in an indictment in which Hammond was included, they were sentenced to terms of iprisonment. Mr. Newton had throughout acted as solicitor for the defence, and on the 24th of September Taylerson, his clerk, visited Alliss's parents, and stated that his object was to see the boy and provide him with money to enable him to go abroad. The mother said that she and her husband were old, and objected to their son going away, but on the 25th Taylerson saw the boy at his lodgings, and promised to provide him with all necessaries if he would go to America, to give him £15 on his arrival there, and £1 a week if he failed to get work, adding, "the reason is that we want you not to give evidence against you know who." It was arranged that the boy and the defendant should meet at a public-house in Tottenham-court-coad for the purpose of proceedings to Liverpool that night, and in the meantime Alliss informed Inspector Abberline of that fact, and by direction kept the appointment. The two were followed by the police to the Marlborough Head public-house, opposite the police-court and Mr. Newton's offices; and Mr. Newton and Mr. de Galla were observed standing close by. On seeing the inspector they walked away in different directions, and Taylerson, on being spoken to, refused to answer questions. The boy was then reconducted back to his lodgings by the police. On the 27th of September the solicitor to the Treasury received a letter from Mr. Newton complaining that Alliss had been kept in a state of duress, had been threatened by the police, and that he had been insructed by his parents to remove him from his objectionable surroundings and send him abroad. He said that the boy was most anxious to get away, and asked for an appointment on the part of the Treasury to meet the father. The statements with regard to the police and the boy's desire were certainly untrue, and he (the learned counsel) was obliged to allege that the letter was written either as a cloak to cover the proceedings of the previous day, or else in the interest of some other persons, instead of the lad's parents. An answer was sent denying the allegations, and statement that anyone trying to remove the lad in order to defeat the ends of justice would incur a great responsibility. After some further correspondence information came to the authorities which led them to suppose that these efforts to remove Alliss were being made really in the interest of Lord Arthur Somerset, whose name had come into the case in the course of the investigation, and against whom on the 12th of November a warrant was obtained. Almost immediately afterwards negotiations were renewed by Mr. Newton, ostensibly on the part of Alliss's father, for an interview with his son, and an arrangement was made to meet at the Treasury. The father, however, had said he was too poor to come to London, and Mr. Newton sent him the money to enable him to keep the appointment. On the father's arrival the son positively declined to see him, so he had to go away. On the 6th of December, the warrants against Lord Arthur Somerset and Hammond not having been executed owing to those persons having left the country, the boys Wright, Perkins, Swinskull [i.e. Swinscow], and Thickbroom were dismissed from the Post Office. On the 9th, in consequence of a communication they received, Perkins and Thickbroom met Mr. Newton at the corner of Oxford-street and Poland-street. He reminded them that it was he who had cross-examined them at the police-court, and told them that he knew someone who was prepared to help them, and that if they liked to go to Australia they should be provided with an outfit, a sum of £20, and £1 a week for three years, adding that two or three lads had gone away and were doing very well. He asked them to get Wright, Swinskull, and Barber to meet him on the following day at one o'clock, and observed that Alliss had made a great fool of himself. He sent them 10s. to pay Barber's fare from home, and next day Wright, Swinskull, and Perkins kept the appointment, the other two being absent. De Galla met thm, and told them they were to start that night for Dover, and suggested that they should write to their parents saying that they should not return home. He subsequently informed them that the boat for that night was full, and that he would find them lodgings for the night. He conducted them to a coffee-house in the Edgware-road, gave them a sovereign to pay expenses, told them to say indoors until half-past-nine to see whether Thickbroom came, and to give fictitious names. On the 11th of December he called, and finding that Thickbroom had not arrived, eventually told the boys that they had better go home, as there was some difficulty about obtaining their parents' consent. It was only conjecture, but some light was thrown upon this change of plans from the fact that Swinskull's parents had communicated with the police immediately upon receiving his letter. Upon proof of the statement he (the learned counsel) had laid before the court, he should ask the magistrate to come to the conclusion that the three defendants, acting independently it was true, had for their object the prevention of evidence being given against either Hammond or Lord Arthur Somerset or other persons, and that, therefore, they were endeavouring to defeat the ends of justice, as stated in the summons. He regretted to find among them a member of the legal profession, whose name was so well known, and trusted that it would turn out that nothing more than excessive zeal on behalf of his clients had led him into what he must have known was a serious infraction of the law.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Gill suggested that, as the cross-examination of witnesses must occupy some time, it would be better to adjourn at this point until a day when the magistrate would be able to devote his whole attention to the case.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Wontner supported the appeal, on the ground that he had only just been instructed, and had not had time to prepare his case.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Gill observed that he was quite prepared to give a complete answer to the charge, but the case must be fully gone into, and much time would necessarily be occcupied.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Magistrate – Will one day suffice?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Gill – Oh, no, sir: I should say at least three days.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Avory was also of opinion that it would occupy that length of time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Eventually the hearing was adjourned until next Monday week, Mr. Gill observing that it had been stated by one journal that his client assisted Hammond to escape, whereas that person had left the country before Mr. Newton came into the case.

Taylerson, his articled clerk, and Adolphus de Gallo, interpreter, appeared to adjourned summonses, charging them with having between September 25 and Dcember 12, conspired together with other persons to obstruct and defeat the due course of law and justice in respect to legal proceedings instituted against certain persons for offences commimtted at 19, Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-square.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Horace Avory, instructed by Sir A. K. Stephenson, solicitor to the Treasury, conducted the prosecution; Mr. Gill, barrister, defended Mr. Newton, and Mr. St. John Wontner appeared for the other defendants.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Avory, having, on the previous occasion, opened the case at some length, now proceeded to call evidence.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Illustration from Police Gazette Algernon Edward Allies, a youth whose parents reside at Sudbury, deposed that on 4th September last he gave evidence at the Marlborough-street Police-court against Newlove and Veck, who were charged in connection with the Cleveland-street case, and was bound over to appear against them at the Old Bailey. Between those periods he was living in lodgings under the observation of the police. About the 23rd August, Constable Hanks took a statement from him at Sudbury; but two days prior to that date he had received an anonymous letter. He did not know the handwriting; but in consequence of that communication he destroyed a number of letters he had in his possession from Lord Arthur Somerset. In his evidence at the Police-court he referred to an individual who was known as Mr. Brown, at the house in Cleveland-street, and described his personal appearance. That individual was Lord Arthur Somerset. After he had given evidence at the Old Bailey he returned to his lodgings in Houndsditch. There the defendant Taylerson called upon him, and suggested that he should go to America, promising to hand the captain of the ship he went in £15 for him on his arrival, and to allow him £1 a week if he failed to obtain work. After some persuasion he agreed to go, and an appointment was made for that evening at the A 1 public-house in Tottenham-court-road. In the course of conversation Taylerson said that no doubt he (witness) could guess whom he came from. He (witness) supposed that he meant Lord Arthur Somerset, but afterwards he believed Taylerson said he came from Mr. Newton, and gave him 6s. to buy some shirts. After Taylerson left him, he communicated with Inspector Abberline, and by his direction kept the appointment, being followed by that officer and Constable Hanks. On meeting Taylerson he was taken by him to the Marlborough Head public-house, in Great Marlborough-street, and there Inspector Abberline demanded of Taylerson what he was doing with that boy. He declined to answer, and he (witness) was then handed over to the care of Cosntable Hanks. He had never told his parents or any one else that he was kept in a state of terror by the threats of the police, or that they neglected to provide him with clothes, or that he was anxious to get away. The only remark he had ever made about the matter was that he was very comfortable. He had never expressed any anxiety to see his father, and when he was brought to the Treasury for that purpose he declined the interview.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examined by Mr. Gill – There was no reason why he should fear his father. He lived at the house in Cleveland-street for some months after Christmas, 1888. Previous that that he had been convicted of stealing from a club, and was discharged without punishment, on Lord Arthur Somerset's becoming surety for his good behaviour. That gentleman had frequently promised to give him a start in life, and in August he appealed to him to obtain for him a situation in a tobacconist's shop. When Constable Hanks called on him at Sudbury he was somewhat frightened at first, as he thought he was going to be imprisoned, and he preferred being a witness to being a prisoner. Until the 12th of November he swore no information against Lord Arthur Somerset. He was not ordered by the police not to communicate with his parents, and they were not told at first that any letter for hiim must come through Inspector Abberline, though that was done eventually. He was not supplied by the police with clothes and money, but all his expenses were paid. The police did not tell him the very words to put in his letters to his parents and other people. He declined to state the address from which some of his letters were written, as that was his present address. He referrred the learned counsel to Inspector Abberline for the information.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> After some discussion between the legal gentlemen engaged in the case, the magistrate decided that the question should not be pressed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examination resumed – The letter to his father suggesting that his parents had been misled by some person who was seeking his own interest instead of theirs, and asserting that he was acting of his own free will, and was actuated by a desire to do what was just, was not dictated to him by the police. He had shown a letter from home to Constable Hanks, and had kept in his mind some remarks that that officer made at the time, which he afterwards embodied in the letter. It was Hanks who said that it must bave been Mr. Newton who circulated a report respecting his (witness's) character about the neighbourhood of Sudbury. The police told him that his father wished to see him, and that an appointment had been made for an interiew at the Treasury. He was conducted there by Hanks, and on the way he changedf his mind, and determined not to see his father. That he did entirely of his own free will. Neither Mr. newton nor Mr. de Gallo had ever spoken to him. When Mr. Taylerson called upon him that defendant said almost immediately that he had seen his parents the day before, and that they wished him to call upon them. He (witness) did not reply that he was not allowed to see even his realtions, but Mr. Taylerson did remark that he, having Mr. Allies Senior's authority, had a perfect right to see their son if he pleased, whether Inspector Abberline was present or not. He said that if he did not decide to go abroad he need say nothing about the subbestion to the police, of whom there was no reason to be afraid. He declined to accompany Tayalerson to Sudbury on the ground that Hanks might call to see him while he was away. He did remark to Taylerson that he wished he was out of the casee, but did not assign as a reason for not going to Sudbury that his sweetheart had heard the rumours about him and wanted an explanation of his conduct. He had at the time received a letter from his sweetheart, saying that there were rumours about him all over Sudbury, and aksing him to let her know what was really the matter. He wrote and told her not to believe the rumours about him. He intended at the time of the conversation with Taylerson to tell the police all about it. He had quite made up his mind not to go either to America or Sudbury or anywhere else. He did not care to go away at all. Taylerson said that the object of his proposal was to give him (witness) a start in life. He (witness) supposed from a remark of Taylerson's that Lord Arthur Somerset desired him to leave the country. He knew that his character was quite gone, and that there was no chance of obtaining employment in this country, but £15 was not enough to induce him to go to America. He should have thought £100 was more like the requisite amount, but he had no intention whatever of going abroad. He gave Taylerson a list of clothes that he required, merely because he wanted to get rid of him, and if he had hesitated when asked Taylerson might have suspected his intentions. The consent to go away was a mere sham. When Taylerson left him he took a 'bus and went direct to the Treasury. Subsequently to that interview Hanks asked him if he had seen Mr. Newton near the Marlborough Head, and he replied in the negative. He did not remember Taylerson saying to the inspector, "You have no busienss to order that boy about," nor did he hear Abberline threaten Taylerson that he should hear further of the matter. From the 23d of August to the 12th of November when he attended Marlborough-street Police-court in order to swear an information against Lord Arthur Somerset he did not see his mother, and he had not seen his father down to the present time. The police told him that there was a warrant out against Lord Arthur Somerset, but did not say that that person had left the country before the warrant was issued.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Re-examined – When he left Sudbury in August his parents did not know what he had been doing, and it was after he was told of the rumours that were in circulation that he refused to see his parents. After Newlove and Veck had pleaded guilty he was servedwith a document required him to attend the next sessions of the court.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Avory explained that the document was a subpoena served on the chance of the man Hammond being arrested and charged, with a view of securing the witness's attendance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Gill – On the cnace of Hammond coming back to this country.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The witness, in further reply to Mr. Avory, said that he thought it was only right that he should remain in England and give evidence against any person who might be charged in connection with the case. At the Treasury, Sir Augustus Stephenson told him that Mr. Newton had arranged an interview with his father; that he could see his father or not, as he pleased, and that he could see him alone.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Gill asked whether the magistrate would grant him permission to ask the witness whether, before he entered the witness-box at Marlborough-street Police-court, Inspector Abberline told hm that if he mentioend anybody's name in the course of his evidence he would get into trouble.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The magistrate declined to allow the question to be put.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Charles Ernest Thickbroom, a youth formerly in the service of the Post Office, deposed that he was suspended in July last and dismissed on December 6. He had given evidence in the Cleveland-street case. On the afternoon of the 9th December he and Perkins, another witness in the case, in consequenceof a communication received, met Mr. Newton at the corner of Poland-street and Marlborough-street. The defendant said that he knew somebody who would do them good, and suggested that they should go to Australia, promising them £20 down, £1 a week, and a free passage. Perkins agreed at once, but he (Thickbroom) did not say one way or the other. Mr. Newton asked where Wright, Swincoe, and Allies (other witnesses) lived. He gave Swinscoe's address, and said that Allies was going about with a detective. Mr. Newton observed that Allies had made a fool of himself. He might have been doing well, like two other young fellows were doing. He promised to send out Wright's address, which he did, together with half a sovereeign, shortly afterwards.In the course of conversation Mr. Newton remarked that it would take more than Inspector Abberline to frighten him, and made an appointment for the next day. He (witness) did not keep the appointment owing to his father's illness, and had not seen the defendant since. He had made a statement to the police in consequence of a communication he received from Mrs. Swinscoe. He had also sworn an information against a person whose description he gave. He guessed who the person was when he swore the information.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examined by Mr. Gill – He made his statement about Cleveland-street with some reluctance. He feared that he should get into trouble if he did not make one. It was close to the Marlborough-street Police-court that he met Mr. Newton, and in broad daylight. He went to see Mr. Newton in order to find out what he meant to do, not for the purpose of informing the police against him. He did not think they met Mr. Newton by accident. Mr. Newton remarked, in reference to the proposal to send the lads abroad, that it sounded like a fairy tale, and said also that they might tell Inspector Abberline if they liked. When they left the defendant there was nothing to prevent their going direct to Scotland-yard. He had walked about Piccadilly and other West-end streets with some detectives to see if he could identify any persons as visitors to Cleveland-street. He received no subpoena from the Treasury after the conviction of Newlove and Veck, nor had he ever seen Taylerson and De Gallo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Magistrate – Was it in consequence of what Perkins or any other person said to you that you went to the corner of Poland-street? – Well, it was both. Perkins asked me to go as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> But had any other person spoken to you about it? – Yes, a police-constable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> What police-constable? – Sladden.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> What did he say to you? – He said that somebody wanted to see us at the corner of Poland and Marlborough Streets.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> When did he say that? – On the Saturday night.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Was it on Monday that you went to Poland-street? – Yes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Magistrate (to mr. Gill) – I think you had better pursue this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Avory – I was going to ask that in re-examination.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Magistrate – Then let it stand over until to-morrow.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The hearing was then adjourned until to-day.

The police know all about the case and have the names, description and identity of the offenders. In the first place all the boys were captured and made to confess. Some knew names and others gave accurate descriptions, enabling the police to shadow the parties to their residences. Their addresses were thus secured. Othes were only suspected. To these men letters were written, giving them so many hours to get out of the country. Of the twenty-five suspects recently warned, twenty-two fled, showing the remarkable accuracy of the boys' information. The total numbere of absconders is sixty.

Taylerson, his articled clerk; and Mr. A. de Gallo, interpreter, charging them with having, between September 25 and December 12, 1889, conspired to obstruct and defeat the due course of justice in respect to offences committed at 19, Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-square, was continued at Bow-street Police-court yesterday, before Mr. Vaughan.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Horace Avory, instructed by Sir A. K. Stephenson, prosecuted on behalf of the Treasury; and Mr. Gill, barrister, and Mr. St. John Wontner appeared for the defence.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> George A. Wright, a youth, formerly employed at the Post Office, who was under examination when the Court rose on Wednesday, again entered the witness-box, and gave further evidence with respect to the interview with Mr. De Gallo. He was also cross-examined by Mr. Gill with a view, the learned counsel said, of showing that "his character was such that his evidcence ought not to be taken against any human being." The witness did not, he said, tell De Gallo that he did not wish to be mixed up further with the case, and would therefore not give any information. He was never told not to mention names in the course of his evidence at Marlborough-street Police-court. He was annoyed at being sent home by De Gallo after having been kept "fooling about" for two days in the hope of going abroad.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> By Mr. Avory – From first to last, De Gallo never asked any questions about the Cleveland-street case. After giving evidence against Newlove and Veck he received no subpoena from the police.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Charles Thomas Swinscow, another ex-emploé of the Post Office, was also examined by Mr. Avory as to the details of the itnerview with De Gallo. He corroborated in the main the evidence of the preceding witnesses, and said that De Gallo told them that a lady and a clergyman were desirous of getting the lads out of the country from Philanthropic motives. He (witness) understood that they were to go home and remain there until someone called.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examined by Mr. Gill – He was the boy who first made a statement with respect to Cleveland-street, and through whom the proceedings at Marlborough-street Police-court originated. He made a statement to Constable Hanks on the 4th of July, because he accused him of stealing money, and searched him. Hanks did not tell him that unless he spoke the truth he should get five years' penal servitude, the same as all Post Office thieves got. He was not frightened. He did not tell Hanks the precise truth, inasmuch as he said he had been to Cleveland-street only twice instead of five times. He told that lie because he did not think there would be any bother about the affair. When he swore the information at the police-court he turned to Inspector Abberline to ask him whether his statement in this respect should be altered, but the usher told him to listen to what was going on. In the corridor of the court he afterwards told Inspector Abberline what he had done, and the officer told him that he could correct his statement on the next occasion, or else make a fresh statement. He had made several statements; some at the Treasury about Lord Arthur Somerset, that might have been made in July, because at that time he was watching in Piccadilly. It was two or three days after they saw Lord Arthur Somerset in Piccadilly. It was, he believed, before Veck's arrest, but he was not sure. He watched two or three places in the company of Sladden and Thickbroom for probably about a month. They left off watching before the case went to the Old Bailey. When they met De Gallo the other boys talked about him (witness) as being the person through whom the charge at Marlborough-street originated, and he then explained how it was that he made a statement. He did not remember how or by whom the conversation was commenced. He did not think he said anything about watching people, but believe he told De Gallo that somebody had been to see him about Lord Euston's libel case. The gentleman who came brought some photographs, but he (witness) did not recognise any of them. He remembered being told at Marlborough-street not to mention any names. By whom he did not know, but it was when they went to swear against Lord Arthur Somerset. He believed that when he went to the Court as a witness he was told not to mention any names or he might get himself into trouble.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Magistrate – Was that when you swore the information? – I think it was the first time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Gill – Was that when you swore the information, or when you gave evidence in the witness-box? Do you remember, before that, being told not to mention any names or you would get yourself into trouble? – I think it was before that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Do you remember who it was said it to you? – No, I do not. Continuing his evidence, the witness said he did know who observed that if they gave their own names at the coffee-house they might be recognised, but De Gallo said that they need not give their own names at all.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Vaughan – Did that come of your having said that your names would be recognised? – Yes. He was of opinion all along that they were going abroad, and kept on telling Perkins so.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Re-examined by Mr. Avory – The reason for using fictitious names was that if real names were given the lads might be recognised when they got into another country.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> On other questions being put,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Gill observed that it was important that the witness's answers should be taken down exactly as they were given, without any interpretation being put upon them. It was, he said, a lamentable thing that proceedings had been instituted upon evidence of the kind that had been produced.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Avory – Perhaps that is the reason why proceedings were not instituted upon this sort of evidence.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The witness, continuing, said that De Gallo asked no questions about the Cleveland-street case.

The galleries were also inconveniently filled.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Sir Charles Russell in opening the case commended upon the additional protection which had been afforded by recent legislation to proprietors of newspapers, and then proceeded to recapitulate the facts of the case. The allegation was that Lord Euston was one of a number of persons who were in the habit of visitng a house in Cleveland-street, where practices of a criminal characte were carried on, and that a warrant had been issued for the apprehension of Lord eusto, who had fled to Peru. The two latter statements were absolutely devoid of foundation, and as to the former, Lord Euston admitted having been once to the house in order to witness an exhjibition of poses plastiques, but, on being told of the real character of the place, left immediatley in indignation and shame. Having read the plea of justification, the learned counsel said that Lord Euston was there prepared to meet that plea, and he desired to go into the witness-box and submit himself to cross-examination. But since the inquiry the whole position of things had changed. The defendant had put Lord Euston on his trial, and had taken on himself to allege and try to prove the truth of what they had published of him. Subject to any expression of opinion by his lordship, the course he proposed to adopt was to call Lord Euston, after an attempt had been made to what were the grounds for putting forward this most serious plea of justification. He pledged himself to call Lord Euston, but in the first instance he called upon the prisoner to make an endeavour to substantiate his plea. . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> John O'Loughlin was the first witness for the defence. Examined by Mr. Asquith, he said he was a coal dealer and greengrocer, his shop being 27 yards from 19, Cleveland-street. On an evening in May last, about the 20th, he was standing at the corner of Cleveland-street, and saw a carriage pull up at No. 23. A gentleman alighted, knocked at No. 19. and was admitted. Witness had seen the gentleman since at Hyde-park-corner and outside that court about a month ago. . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Lord Euston rose, whereupon the witness remarked, "I should like to see you walk." His lordship accordingly walked a few steps.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Witness – That is Lord Euston.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Sir C. Tussell – We are aware of that; but do you recognise him?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Witness – I should say that that is Lord Euston.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Asquith – Have you seen that gentleman before?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Witness – I saw him twice at Hyde-park and at the door of the Old Bailey.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Have you seen him before that? – I saw him go into the house in Cleveland-street. . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examined by Sir C. Russell – He never saw the gentleman before he got out of the carriage. It was a closed carriage with coachman and footman. Whether with one or two horses he could not say. It was a dusky night and his eyesight was bad. He next saw the gentleman six weeks ago at Hyde-park-corner, just by the gates. He was stuck there an hour and three-quarters to see if he could identify the people who passed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Who had stuck you there? – I was authorised to do so. I don't know who authorised me. I was told to go there. I don't know who it was. He said Lord Euston was to pass there, and I was to identify him. A man told me to do it at my place in Tottenham-street. The man came about nine o'clock and brought a cab to take me off to Hyde-park-corner. . . . He asked if I knew Lord Euston, and I said, "Yes." He showed me a photograph, and I identified it, and said, "I should know him again." . . . When the photogrpah was shown to me I said, "That is like Lord Euston, but it is not a good resemblance. It is fuller in the face that the party I saw going into Cleveland-street." The man asked me if I knew anything about that house, and I said, "I knew a little." . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examined – Witness had nothing from these men but his cab fare and expenses; not half what he ought to have had. (Laughter.) Asked to describe Lord Euston's walk, he said it was like that of a policeman who had done 20 years on the stones. (Laughter.) . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> John W. Smith, who was with the last witness on the occasion spoken to in May last, also identifed the prosecutor, whom, he said, he had seen go to the house about a dozen times.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examined by Sir Charles Russell – The witness rented the shop before O'Loughlin took it last June, and had heard the house in Cleveland-street mentioned. He had seen a number of carriages and cabs driving to the house. Witness was asked to give evidence by Captain Webb, a private inquiry agent. He recognised Lord Euston to-day by his moustache.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> His Lordship – How often altogether have you seen the person whom you have identified as Lord Euston? – About six times.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Spread over what period? – About nine months. . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Michael O'Loughlin, a son of the first witness, and a barman out of employment, said that two years ago he was at Ascot on the Hunt Cup day, and a gentleman was pointed out to him as Lord Euston. That person he had seen at 19, Cleveland-street – he was sure of three times. The first occasion was at the end of May or the beginning of June, about 11.30. Witness was coming along the street at the time, and saw Lord Euston leave the house. The next time, about five weeks afterwards, at 2 a.m., he saw the prosecutor enter No. 19. He followed Lord Euston up Cleveland-street. The next occasion was about two or three days later, when he sww the prosecutor leave the house about 11.30 p.m. Two or three weeks ago he was told to go to Grosvenor-place, and saw the same gentleman come out of a house there. That gentleman was now in court (pointing to Lord Euston).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examined by Sir C. Russell, the witness stated that he was first spoken to about the case by Captain Webb. The witness never heard of the trial of Veck and Newlove. He thought that the last time he saw Lord Euston go to the house in Cleveland-street was in the betginning of July – about the 8th, 9th, or 10th. He did not know that the house was closed, and that Hammon fled on July 6.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Do you expect to get anytyhing for this evidence/ – I don't expect anytyhing; but I dare say I shall get something. (Laughter.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Hannah Elizabeth Morgan, of 62, Cleveland-street, said she had lived there for about 12 months. She knew 19 on the opposite side of the road. She had seen many persons going into and coming out of the house. . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> His Lordship – How many people have you seen and particularly noticed? – It might be 50.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Fifty that you could recognise? – I could not recognise them all – only one.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Sir Charles Russell assented, and the prosecutor [i.e. Lord Euston] stood up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Examination continued – That was the person she saw at Cleveland-street. He came to the house several times, generally between twelve and one at night. The first time she saw him at the house was three or four months before the people left, which was about three months. ago.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examined by Sir C. Russell – This house had a very bad name, and witness had heard of the proceedings which had resulted. After the committal of the defendant from Bow-street, witness was first asked what she knew about the case. Three gentlemen had called to see her, but up to this morning she had never seen or heard of Captain Webb. Up to the time of these visits she had never connectedd the name of the person she now recognised with the prosecutor. She identified the prosecutor as soon as she saw the photograph, but she could not say by what means she distinguished him from the other people who came to the house. Lord Euston was not always dressed alike, sometimes he wore a blue pilot topcoat with velvet collar, and at other times a grey suit. She was only shown one photograph, and that was a likeness of Lord Euston. . . . Frederick Grant, a barman living in Euston-road, said, in reply to Mr. Asquith, that he was at the Middlesex Music Hall with O'Loughlin the younger in May or June of last year. He walked home with him, and as they passed 19, Cleveland-street, about 11.30, he saw Lord Euston leaving the house.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examined by Sir Charles Russell – Except on that occasion and that day witness had never seen the prosecutor. As they passed the house O'Loughlin told witness the character of the house, and told him the gentleman was Lord Euston.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> John Saul, who gave an address at Old Compton-street, Soho, examined by Mr. Lockwood, said he had known Charles Hammond from 1879. He was then living at 25, Oxendon-street, Haymarket, and witness remembered Hammond going to 19, Cleveland-street, just after Christmas, 1886. At the end of March, 1887, witness went to live there, and lived there for seven or eight weeks. In describing the character of the house, witness identified Lord Euston, whom, he said, he took to the house himself. That was some time in April or May, 1887. Witness met Lord Euston in Piccadilly, between Albany-courtyard and Sackville-street. Afterwards the prosecutor was known amongst the people at 19, Cleveland-street, as "the Duke." Witness saw Lord Euston at the house a second time. Newlove and Frank Hewett, the latter of whom somebody had sent abroad, were there then. At the end of May, 1887, witness quarrelled with Hammond.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cross-examined by Sir C. Russell – Witness gave his evidence first to Inspector Abberline in the beginning of August. Witness had been taken care of lately by a Mr. Violet, whom he met at Captain Webb's office, where he made a second statement. Witness knew none of the boys except Newlove and Hewett. Violet gave witness his board and lodging, and he had half a sovereign a week, and sometimes more as pocket money. He had sent most of it to his mother in Ireland, who was very poor. At the time of the meeting in Piccadilly, witness had not before seen Lord Euston nor the proecutor him. On the second occasion of the visit Hammond showed Lord Euston into the reception room – the front room. Witness had never spoken to the prosecutor before or after the occasion of the first visit, nor had he had any communication with him. As early as 1875, witness had pursued this course of life in Dublin. He had not done much honest work in London; he could not get it to do. From Oxenden-street witness went with Hammond to Frith-street, Soho, then to number 4 in the same street.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> In reply to further questions, the witness admitted that since his quarrel with Hammond he had lived at various disreputable houses. The police allowed him to walk about without interference, and sometimes advised him to give up the life he was leading. In 1884 he offered to give evidence with regard to the Dublin scandals, but his story was too old. It was not true that he was told that his evidence would not be received on oath owing to his disreputable character. A young man from Captain Webb's office, named Ashley, first spoke to him about the case. After some demur, he offered to go to Captain Webb's office, on the understanding that he was to support the case of Mr. Parke, who, he thought, had been Very badly used.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> That was the first statement you made about Lord Euston? – Yes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Judge – The first, do you say? – Yes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Re-examined – Witness had made only one statement to Inspector Abberline.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> This closed the case for the defence.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">[John Saul was a male prostitute, or "Mary-Ann", nicknamed Dublin Jack. His genuine (albeit semi-fictionalised) auitobiography was published in 1881 as The Sins of the Cities of the Plain: Or, The Recollections of a Mary-Anne, consisting mainly of pornographic descriptions of his adventures.]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Earl of Euston was then sworn. – Examined by Sir C. Russell, he said he was examined at Bow-street when the case was heard by the magistrate. . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Were any of the events which have now been sworn to put to you in cross-examination? – No, not a single instance. . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Witness repeated the evidence given at the police-court to the effect that last year, sometime in June, he went to Cleveland-street, in consequence of a card, headed poses plastiques, having been placed into his hand as he was walking along Piccadilly. Witness drove to the house in a hansom, reaching there about eleven. He was shown into a front room on the right hand side of the passage. The man asked for a sovereign, which witness gave, and, in reply to witness's question about the poses plastiques, avowed the real character of the house. Witness said if he was not let out of the house at once he would knock the man down, and he was allowed to leave. . . . Except on the occasion just described, witness was never in Cleveland-street in his life. Witness was then taken through all the allegations which had been made by Saul and the other witnesses and denied them categorically. He also denied the statement in the North London Press that in July last he had fled to Peru, and that a warrant had been issued against him for any offence whatever. Witness never had a "blue pilot coat with velvet collar" of the kind described by the witness Morgan. He never went to Cleveland-street in a private carriage. He had no private carriage. . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Lockwood, addressing the jury for the defence, suggested that the reason for the story told by the Earl of Euston was that on one of the occasions of which the witnesses had spoken, Lord Euston had good reason to believe that he was seen by somebody; and it was necessary, therefore, to account in some way for at least one visit to Cleveland-street. If that story were not true – if it did not appeal to the mind of the jury as being true – it carried him (Mr. Lockwood) a very long way towards establishing the plea of justification which had been set up. . . . [Lord Euston] treated the incident with silence even after the proceedings against Newlove and Veck, and it was not until his own name had been associated with the house as having been a frequenter of it that it turned out that he actually had been there. That was a singular coincidence, and he unhesitatingly asked the jury to refuse to accept it. He admitted that the evidence of Saul was that of a very tainted character, but the respectablity of the other testimony had not been impugned. . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Sir Charles Russell contended that the truth of the libel had not been proved, and commented adversely on the fact that the majority of the witnesses put forward that day were not known to the defendant when he published the libel, neither were they mentioned at the police-court proceedings. He called attention to the defencts in the evidence of identification, especially as regarded height, dress, and the vehicle in which Lord Euston was said to have driven to Cleveland-street. He asked why the other persons who had assisted in these attempts at identification had not been called. For years these hideous practices had been carried on at 19, Cleveand-street, and only now were these charges made against his client – charges that which none more monstrously absurd had ever been placed before a jury, and a man of the utterly degraded character of the witness Saul would at once have used his power over Lord Euston, had his story been correct, as a means of extorting money, yet no word of communicationn took place between them for over two years. He asked why the two other persons – Newlove and Veck – who had been convicted, had not been placed in the box, especially as Saul had sworn that Newlove was present on the occasion of Lord Euston's second visit. These criminals would have been glad to relieve the tedium of their imprisonment by appearing in that Court, and might, not unnaturally, think that by making a clean breast of it they would probably shorten the term of their confinement. For all these reasons, he asked the jury to reject the evidence which had been offered in justification of these foul and slanderous statements.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> It being now half-past six o'clock, the Court adjourned till to'day, when Mr. Justice Hawkins will commence his summing up to the jury.

He moved to 19, Cleveland-street, just after Christmas, 1886. At about the end of March I went to live there. during the time I was there I remember many persons coming to the house.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Do you see any person here in this court whom you have seen at Hammoond's house, 19, Cleveland-street, at any time? – One gentleman I recognise that I took there myself if I am not thoroughly mistaken.

I gave my evidence to Inspector Abberline at the beginning of August. I met Violet at the private inquiry office at Westminster. I remember the prosecution of Newlove and Veck.

Mr. Violet lets me have money sometimes, and supplies me with everything I want. I was concerned in committing an indecent offence in Dublin in 1875, and since I have been in London I have tried to earn an honest living, but have not been able to get a character. The police and detectives have always been kind to me here. I offered my evidence in Dublin some years ago, but it was not used. I was employed a little while at Druiry-lane Theatre in "The Royal Oak." I expressed my willingness to give evidence for Mr. Parke, but for nobody else.

In the preliminary trial at the Old Bailey Euston swore that he had only been at the house in Cleveland street once, and then he was lured there under the pretense of poses plastiques. Editor Parke to-day produced witnesses who swore that Euston visited Hammond's house not once but continuously, and one witness named Saul swore that he went there with Euston for immoral purposes which Euston thoroughly understood and carried out. Sir Charles Russell subjected all these witnesses to a rigid cross-examination, which involved them in numerous contradictions in details, but they did not swerve from the main fact, namely, that Euston was a frequent visitor at the house and had a thorough knowledge of its vile character.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Lord Euston himself was called as a witness. He denied in toto the evidence of these witnesses. His counsel pleaded that their testimony was from a tainted source, but no motive was shown why this tainted evidence should be utilized against Euston; and Parke's counsel pointed out that evidence of this nature could hardly come from other than tainted sources. One point in Saul's evidence was significant. He said that his first statement incriminating aristocratic customers of Hammond's house was made at the instance of Scotland Yard officials, and he intimated that the reason he was willing to testify was because Hammond introduced telegraph boys in order to break up the nefaviour business which he and others were carrying on for years.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> LONDON, Jan. 15. – Lockwood created great excitement by calling John Saul and asking him if he recognized any one present as having been in Hammond's house. Saul immediately pointed out Lord Euston and said in a distinct but effeminate voice: "Yes, that is one of them; I took him there myself; I met him in Piccadilly; I winked at him; he laughed and I told him that my place was a very quiet one. We drove in a hansom to Hammond's house and Hammond produced champagne." Saul then described what took place. Euston gave him a sovereign. Being questioned as to his past career, Saul confessed that he had been guilty of similar offences in Dublin and had resumed them in London. He said he had never been hunted by the police, but had always been treated kindly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Euston, being put into the witness-box, emphatically and categorically denied Saul's statements.

Mr Justice Hawkins summed up the evidence. He said that the questions for the jury were whether a libel had been committed against Lord Euston which reflected on his character, and whether that libel was justified by the facts. With regard to the publciation there was no dispute. It was a libel of a very atrocious character if it was not justified. It imputed to Lord Euston that he had been guilty of heinous crimes, revolting to one's common notions of decency and human nature. He reminded the jury that they had nothing to do with the general proceedings at that most infamous house in Cleveland Street, or with rumours which had been rife as to other persons in connection with those proceedings, but it was their duty to confine themselves strictly to the one inquiry, whether Lord Euston had committed himself in the way imputed to him. He further pointed out that it rested with the defendant in a libel charge to substantiate his allegations in a criminal action for libel. It must also be proved that publication was in the public interest. He commented on the fact that there was not a particle of evidence in support of the allegation that Lord Euston had been abroad. Touching on the discrepancies in the testimony as to Lord Euston's height, dress, and general appearance, he pointed out that one witness, whose sight was admittedly bad, chiefly noticed Lord Euston's walk, which he described as like that of a policeman who had done twenty years on the stones; while another was principally impressed with the width of the trousers of the man he saw. No one seemed to notice anything singular about this man's height, though prosecutor stood six fee four inches. After analysing other evidence of this nature, his Lordship touched on the testimony of the creature Saul, than whom, he said, he could not imagine a more loathsome object could exist. He hoped, for the sake of the police, that they had not, as he had sworn, behaved kindly to him, and he marvelled much that no mention had been made of prosecuting him, and that any man could offer him an asylum where he enjoyed the luxuries of life. He confessed it made his blood hot to hear of that wretch going about with his paste ring and silver-headed cane when so many honest hard-working people were in want. He inwuired why, if Saul made in August the statement which the police believed, no steps had bene taken by them to bring Lord Euston to justice, though he understood their inaction if they did not believe that story. He concluded by commenting on the fact that neither Newlove, who, as Saul said, was in Cleveland Street on the occasion of one of Lord Euston's visits, and who was now in jail and available, nor any of the boys who had frequented the house had been called.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">VERDICT AND SENTENCE.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The jury retired at five minutes past one to deliberate, and returned into Court at 1.35, with a verdict of guilty, adding that the justification was not proved. Mr Matthews, addressing his Lordship on behalf of the prosecution, put in a copy of the North London Press, in which a portrait of Lord Euston appeared, together with those of Lord Arthur Somerset and Hammond. Defendant expressing a wish to speak, and receiving permission to do so, stated that he had acted in good faith, and published the statement in what he conceived to be the public interest. He published it also on what he thought to be adequate evidence, though what it was he could not state.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> His LORDSHIP – You can if you like until tomorrow give me any information which will alter my view of the matter. I see no evidence which was in your possession at the time the libel was published.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Defendant – I can only say the information was in my possession.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> His LORDSHIP – I must really have more than that. I cannot be satisfied with your bare statement. At present the libel stands to my mind a very atrocious one, without anything which would even morally justify its publication.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Defendant expressed a wish to have sentence passed immediately, and his Lordship said a more atrocious libel than that of which Parke had been found guilty had scarcely ever been published by any man, or under circumstances less justifiable.. At the time of the publication defendant appeared to have had no shade of evidence to substantiate the charges to which he gave currency. It was his duty to pass a sentence which would not only be a punishment to defendant, but a warning to others. He would be imprisoned for twelve months.

In this eonnection, as well as with reference to the Cleveland-street affair, two persons well known in society have within the last ten days quitted England, and rumours of further intended disappearances are strangely rife. (Banbury Advertiser)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">17 January 1890</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It is with extreme reluctance that we enter upon any discussion of the trial which has for two days occupied the attention of Mr. Justice HAWKINS at the Central Criminal Court, in London, and the result of which is reported in another column. The subject is repulsive, and some of the circumstances detailed in court cannot be so much as referred to; but in certain respects the case is one of such gravity as to preclude the possibility of passing it by without comment. The charge was one of criminal libel against Mr. PARKE, the conductor of the North London Press, for having published in his paper a statement most seriously aspersing the character of Lord EUSTON, the eldest son of the Duke of GRAFTON, and consequeently the prospective inheritor of a seat in the House of Peers, as a member of the highest rank in the peerage. The nature of the imputation will be recalled by all who have, for weeks past, read in the newspapers repeated references to what is now commonly iknown as the Cleveland Street scandal. A particular house in that street is known to have been used for purposes of the grossest immorality; indeed, for the habitual practice of vices which all persons with the faintest spark of decency in their minds would be glad to believe had no place in English society. The general allegation, widely circulated, was that men of high rank were amongst the frequenters of the house in question, and that some of them, fearing the consequences of detection, had absconded from justice, and had sought refuge abroad. In one instance there is evidence foundation for this statement, for a warrant has been issued against a younger son of a duke [i.e. Lord Arthur Somerset], who has by flight saved himself from arrest, from trial, and from heavy punishment as the penalty of being found guilty. The keeper of the house, and apparently some of those who assisted in his nefarious practices, have also absconded; and two or three minor agents in the detestable transaction have been tried and sentenced to terms of imprisonment. All these facts being known and published, strong excitement was caused in the public mind, and some journals, chiefly in London, occupied themselves with the publication of hints, suggestions, and rumours, more or less specific, as to the alleged circumstances of the case, and as to the personality of the actors in the disgraceful proceedings which had taken place in Cleveland Street. Mr. PARKE, the defendant in the trial which has just concluded, went further than others who dealt largely with this reovlting subject. Not content with repeating the vague allegations current in London gossip, he named as amongst the criminals not only the officer who is known to have absconded, but also Lord EUSTON, whom he affirmed to be implicated.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The allegation made against Lord EUSTON was that he had frequented the house above named for shameful purposes, and that to avoid the consequence of his guilt he had absconded to Peru, so as to place himself in safety beyond the reach of justice. On the publication of this charge, Lord EUSTON took proceedings against Mr. PARKE for criminal libel, and in his defence Mr. PARKE entered a plea of justification, and therefore undertook to prove that the alleged libel was true in fact. . . . and another witness was produced who deposed to acts of the gravest criminal immorality having been actually committed by Lord EUSTON in the house. The last-indicated witness [i.e. John Saul] was a man in whose uncorroborated testimony no credit whatever could be reposed. The other witnesses, upon whom no imputations were cast, were shown to have made erroneous or contradictory statements as to matters of detail . . . In a case of such extreme gravity, involving an issue, so far as the prosecution was concerned, which was more serious even than a question of life and death, it is manifest that a plea of justification could be rightly sustained only by evidence absolutely beyond contest – testiimony against which no probability of mistake could be reasonably alleged. In the opinion of the jury, who had the advantage of seeing and hearing the witnesses, proof of this incontestable character was not adduced, and therefore they found Mr. PARKE guilty of libel, and declared that hs plea of justification had not been proved. With this verdict Mr. Justice HAWKINS said he thoroughy agreed, and we think justly so, for the graver portion of the evidence, resting upon the single statement of a most deeply-tained witness, was manifestly impossible of acceptance without the strongest corroboration; and as to the other witnesses, however honest they might be in intention, their testimony was open to at least a qustion of mistake. If Lord EUSTON had been formally on trial, it would have been unsafe to convict him on this evidence; and if it were not enough to convict, it was obviously not enough to sustain a plea of justification for the libel.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> As to the sentence on the defendant, we think there will be a general feeling that it might with propriety have been less severe. Twelve months' imprisonment of the ordinary type – for Mr. PARKE does not appear to have been made a first-class misdemeanant – is a very heavy term, and one in regard to which the whole circumstances of the case do not seem to have been sufficiently taken into account. Of course when a man publishes a libel of this character he must be presumed to have considered the result of failure to prove justification, and therefore to have made up his mind to take the consequences, whatever they may be. But surely some weight should have attached to the fact that the defendant did not publish the libel of pure malice, and without believing that he had some ground for the imputation he made. After the verdict he declared that he had acted in good faith, that he had spoken in the public interst, and that he had "adequate evidence" which he could not disclose without violating confidence. This statement manifestly receives colour from Lord EUSTON'S admission that, without criminal intent, and under the influence of a false inducement, he had once visited the house in Cleveland Street. If this visit were known to the defendant – and it must be supposed to have come to his knowledge – it relieved him, so far, from the imputation of merely wanton libel, and therefore might properly have been taken into account in awarding sentence; thought it must be added that no excuse was offered, or seemingly could be offered, for the wholly untrue allegation that Lord EUSTON had become a fugitive from justice. We are not unwilling, either, to allow force to Mr. PARKE'S contention that he bleieved himself to be serving the public interests. If he had made out his plea of justification no doubt he would have rendered great service, for the exposure of crime and the consequences following exposure must of necessity act as a deterrent and as a protection to society against offences which not only bring indelible shame in their train, but tend to deprave morals in an inexpressible degree. But the plea of justification was not made out, and the steps taken to support it go to prove that further enquiry, so full and searching as to leave no doubt, ought to have been made before he ventured upon the publication of the charge. Neglecting such enquiry, which would certainly have led to the suppression of part of the libel, and might have compelled the suppression of the whole, Mr. PARKE has become a victim to the vicious eagerness of what is called "the new journalism" to give unseemly and offensive prominence to social scandals – sometimes true perhaps, sometimes obviously false; prompted, it may be, on occasion by zeal for morality, influenced too often by the desire of creating a sensation and of making profit. If the issue of this trial should tend to check a pernicious practice, now far too common, the public will have gained by the investigation of an extremely painful and disgusting case.

PARKE.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The future motto of the new Society journalism should be "Let sleeping scandals lie." Mr. ERNeST PARKE'S reckless attempt to stir up the pestiferous cesspool in Cleveland Street has results, as might have been foreseen, in the libeller being hoist with his own libel. The indiscreet young gentleman has only himself to thank for his present pitiful plight. He must have known that nothing but the fullest and completest justification of his awful charge against Lord EUSTON could save him from a terribly severe punishment. His plea of public duty was a puny impertinence. It mattered not to him that society at large shrank with instinctive revulsion from a discussion of the doings in this loathsome den; he must needs make himself, or the little sheet which he had recently launched upon the journalistic world, notorious by abandoning the usual innuendo or carefully-veiled personal paragraph in favour of a distinctly specified charge against distinctly specified individuals. He was introducing into juurnalism the juvenile game of "Conquers." He would venture further into danger than anybody else. No other newspaper editor had dared to publish the names of any of the inviduals whom rumour, rightly or wrongly, had associated with the evil doings in Cleveland Street, and probably by this time Mr. PARKE wishes that his professional ardour had been tempered by the same sober discretion which is at all times the best part of journalism, as well as of valour. . . . We can quite believe that Mr. PARKE was honestly moved to indignation by the unnameable foulness of the wretches who had escaped from this abode of disgusting iniquity. . . . But nobody asked Mr. PARKE to assume the role of moral censor and drag the miscreants from their hiding polaces. The police are paid to do the work at which Mr. PARKE has made such a flagrant bungle. He elected to take the risk, and the risk, it will be seen, ahs been very great. For the luxury of libelling the son of an English Duke he has been ordered to undergo twelve smonths' imprisonment, not in the comfortable capacity of a first-class misdemeanant, but as an ordinary offender. A more egregious piece of folly was never perpetrated in the annals of journalism. The evidence upon which he sought to justify his allegation against Lord EUSTON was not sufficient to hang a dog.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The sentence is a terribly severe one, but we do not know that it is disproportionate to the gravity of the offence. The JUDGE very properly characterised the allegation against Lord EUSTON as "a wicked and atrocious libel." We are not holding up his lordship as a spotless pattern of the English aristocracy, the immaculate wearer of the white flower of a blameless life. No, we should be very sorry to waste much pretty sentiment over his lordship. The circumstances under which he admits going to the infamous house betray, to say the least, a sad infirmity of moral purpose and propensities of a by no means creditable kind. The Standard, which shows no mercy to the defendant PARKE, has nothing but contemptuous scorn to offer to the noble complanant. This is what the Conservative journal says of Lord EUSTON in its leading article:– "We have no sort of sympathy with the prosecutor, Lord EUSTON, who admitted quite enough about his own tastes and pursuits to show that he has very little claim to the respect of persons of decent life." But the defendant PARKE undertook to prove that Lord EUSTON was something more than this. He held him up to public odium as a social leper, a filthy, unclean wretch, of whom even the average roué and reprobate could not think without a shudder. According to the statement in the North London Press, Lord EUSTON had been compelled to fly the country, like Lord ARTHUR SOMERSET, as a consequence of his unutterable infamy. Here the information was clearly wrong. . . . The evidence by which [Parke] endeavoured to prove that Lord EUSTON was everything that the libel made him out to be, and that if he had not fled the country, he ought in common decency to have done so, was just about as weak and as flimsy as it could have been. . . . But the greatest blot upon the defendant's case was the calling of that hideous wretch SAUL, who stood self-confessed as an indescribable criminal. That this shocking scoundrel should be allowed to be at large, after the unblushing confession he made in the witness box, is a scandal upon society in general. The police ought to know what to do with him, and we trust that many hours will not be allowed to elapse before his polluting presence vanishes from its accustomed haunts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> We quite expect that Mr. PARKE'S friends will raise a great outcry against the sentence. From one point of view they will be able to make out a strong case. They will point to the fact that crimes which are a disgrace to the country, and a reproach upon our boasted civilisation, have been committed in the heart of our great metropolis; that the ringleaders have been allowed to slink away to foreign lands, that the very people who should have laboured to expose such flagitious iniquities have used their influence to hush up the scandals, while a newspaper editor, for trying to bring the matter before the public notice, is sent to a common gaol for twelve months. No doubt we shall be told that it is a monstrous injustice that Mr. PARKE should receive a heavier sentence for exposing the Cleveland Street abominations than was awarded to two of the actual criminals [i.e. Veck and Newlove] who were smuggled into the Old Bailey a few months ago during the absence of the Press and the public, and condemned to short terms of imprisonment. This, of course, is one way of looking at it. It does seem an extraordinary anomaly that a respectable man like PARKE, with an unblemished character, should for the mere offence of making a blunder – call it a gross blunder if you like – receive a sentence of greater severity than was passed by a secret tribunal upon the odious wretches from the Cleveland Street extablishment. But we must bear this in mind that the failure of justice in this most abominable case does not atone for the recklessness of Mr. PARKE'S ill-advised venture. Unless the grave responsibilities which attach to journalism at times when scandal, more or less distorted,, is being whispered from mouth to mouth are discreetly and decently recognised, a huge social danger is at once created. The public require protection against these rash and random personal attacks. . . . His fate is a deplorable one; but if it moderates the misapplied energy of the new school of personal journalism, the sentence – severe though it unquestionably is – will not be without its salutary effect.

We must at the outset guard ourselves against any suggestion of questioning the verdict of the jury. . . . [Nevertheless] it is surely a travesty of justice to treat this case as if the libel upon Lord Euston stood entirely by itself and was an absolutely gratuitous attack upon private character. There is no dispute that the horrors referred to were perpetrated in Cleveland street, and even Justice Hawkins, who may be relied upon to persuade a jury to find a verdict against a newspaper if any man can, admitted that a journalist would be justified in endeavouring to put an end to such abominations. But it is also known that many aristocratic persons were implicated, and that there was a shameless conspiracy among certain high officials to connive at the escape of the criminals, and the police were not allowed to arrest rich and titled men as they would ordinary citizens. . . . But when Mr Parke made one unfortunate slip he found the law much more vigorous and effective than did the frequenters of Cleveland street. Criminals were safe, but an honest man who had erred was not shown a particle of mercy. Justice Hawkins went out of his way to get this case on his list, and summed up strongly against the defendant. In proof of this we need take only one instance. Speaking of a witness who testified to being an accomplice [i.e. John Saul], he said "they would have to ask theselves which oath they preferred – the oath of the man, who, according to his own account, if he spoke the truth, was liable to be prosecuted and sent into penal servitude, or the oath of the Prosecutor." But the impartial judge did not point out that if the witness was to be believed, the Prosecutor ran precisely the same risk. We do not, for a moment, impugn Lord Euston's veracity, but the argument is one that in a summing up should tell both ways. . . . There was also one point in the prosecutor's evidence which should have been considered in mitigation of sentence. But instead of that Mr Matthews was allowed to make a happily unusual attempt to aggravate the penalty, and the excessive sentence of twelve months' imprisonment has been passed. Seeing the help that has been afforded to criminals who are now skulking outside the limits of British jurisdiction, the Home Secretary should have no hesitation in remitting three-fourths of the sentence which was passed yesterday, because it must be remembered that the verdict was all that was needed for the complete vindication of Lord Euston.

Before his sentence was passed, Mr. Parke declared that he had other evidence, which he could not call because it was given in confidence. Such a statement is not worth a moment's credence. Words spoken by people who will not come forward to substantiate them are not worth notice, and Mr. Parke in taking this line, after his conviction too, only aggravated his offence.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> There is no doubt, however, that all the facts about Cleveland-street have not yet been disclosed. There is much in the background which will, in the course of time, be dragged into light. Mr. Labouchere will call the attention of the House of Commons to the subject at the earliest possible moment, and in all probability he will be supported by the grat majority of the Radical party in demanding a Parliamentary inquiry into the conduct of the police and the Home Office in allowing delinquents to escape from the country, although warrants were out for their apprehension. This house was in existence in Cleveland-street for at least three or four years, and its reputation was well known to all residents in the locality. The whole story is one of the most shameful characters, and a disgrace to the aristocracy who supported it. It will do more to help towards the abolition of the House of Lords than anything which has taken place during this generation.

Newton, Taylerson and De Galla were further examined on the charge of conspiracy to defeat the ends of justice in connection with charges preferred for offences committed at 19, Cleveland-street. Mr. Horace Avory prosecuted, Mr. C. F. gill defended Newton, and Mr. St. John Wontner defended Taylerson and De Galla.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Inspector Abberline was recalled for further examinaton by Mr. Gill. He deposed that he was cognisant of what was being done by the authorities. The case had been under the notice of the Foreign Office with regard to Hammond. That was in the latter part of July. Mr. Gill: From whom did you get your information? Witness saw a copy of the reply from the Foreign Office. Mr. Avory objected to this being pursued, on the ground that the witness could only say that he saw the copy of a letter. Witness: It was the reply. It was after it was decided as to who was to have the conduct of the case – the police or the Treasury. Mr. Gill: From whom did you take your instructions? Witness: From the Commissioner or Assistant Commissioner and various gentlemen at the Treasury – Sir Augustus Stephenson, the Hon. Mr. Cuffle, and Mr Angus Lewis. Witness did not know that the boys were to be discharged from the Post Office. Witness had stated to the authorities all the information he had, and all the names that had been mentioned and every document that had been found. These reports were made to the Commissioner. By Mr. Avory: There was no gound for suggesting that witness had expressed his regret that greater publicity had not been given to the case. Newlove had made a confession, which was embodied in the information submitted to the magistrate. At that time witness did not know where Hammond was. Mr. Avory asked the witness as to his knowledge of the consideration by the Foreign Office for Hammond's extradition. Mr. Gill objected to any expressions of opinion from the witness. Otherwise he submitted that it would be competent for him in cross-examination to elicit what the witness must be fully cognisant of, that it had been advised by the highest authorites that the case should not be proceeded with. Mr. Vaughan thought Mr. Avory's questions admissible, but suggested that they should not be pressed. Informations were sworn on July 6, Aug. 19, Oct. 6, and on Nov. 12 one against Hammond. Formal evidence was given proving the letters sent by the Treasury solicitor to Mr. Newton.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Police-constable Hanks, one of the constables of the Metropolitan Police attached to the Post Office, deposed to the statements taken in the casse, and to his visit to Sudbury to fetch Allies for the purpose of being interviewed at the Treasury. He remained in lodgings in London. The witness deposed to the meeting of Allies and Taylerson in the Tottenham-court-road, and the subsequent visit to the Marlborough Head public-house, to which place they were followed by witness and Abberline. The witness averred that he saw Newton three or four yards beyond the public-house in company with a gentleman. They hurriedly crossed the street when Abberline went into the public-house, and entered Foubert's-place. Witness followed, saw them at the corner, and then returned. De Galla was seen to go in an opposite direction. The witness generally confirmed the evidence already given as to what transpired at the public-house, and to the subsequent removal of the boy Allies to other lodgings. Witness had never threatened the boy, and had not told him what to say in his letters to his father. By Mr. Gill: Witness was a party to the information against Mr. Newton, and had sworn to seeing Mr. Newton on the particular occasion mentioned above. Witness had a great respect for Mr. Newton. The witness was minutely cross-examined as to whether it was actually Mr. Newton that he had seen. He averred that it was, and that he was accompanied by a taller gentleman whom witness did not know. He was fair. The boy Allies was treated as a perfectly free agent, and was told that he must know whether he was under any influence. Allies' father had complained of witness, but on an inquiry being made he (witness) was exonerated. Mr. Avory said that Police-constable Sladden was present if it was desired that he should be called. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Gill did not wish to call him. The case was adjourned until the 23rd last.

In reply to counsel's question, his lordship stated that he was in the Cleveland-street house for "about five minutes." "Five minutes," exclaimed Mr. Lockwood incredulously, "surely the circumstances you have described would not occupy that time." Then gazing intently at the clock, with an occasional glance at the witness, Mr. Lockwood proceeded: "You went up the steps –(pause)– you knocked at the door and rang the bell –(pause)– and were admitted –(pause)–. You walked a few yards and went into a room –(pause)– you exchanged a few sentences with the man who admitted you –(pause)– and then left the room." "Now," Mr. Lockwood triumphantly declared, "that has just taken two minutes. What were you doing the rest of the time?! To this Lord Euston replied that it might have been only two minutes.

Mr. Newton, he said, had committed no offence. Mr. Newton took upon himself whatever responsibility attached to the incidents that had occurred. He did not in any way seek to shirk that. One of the other defendants was a young clerk in Mr. Newton's employment, and the other was a man whom he occasionally employed for making inquiries. Regarding both, Mr. Newton wished it to be stated that they had simply acted on instructions given by him. From this point Mr. Gill went on to criticise the delay of the police authorities in dealing with the Cleveland-street case. He said deliberately that the whole cause of the mischief that had arisen from the proceedings was the initial mistake by Inspector Abberline on the 5th July, while being cognisant of what was going on at Cleveland-street, having allowed Hammond to make good his escape. The witness Saul in the libel case had said that the police had been kind to him, but nothing could have been more kind that the manner in which Hammond was dealt with after his conduct became known. The scandals and rumours that had got abroad he spoke of as having done more harm to the country than anything that had happened within the memory of man.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> . . . Mr. Vaughan said he could not agree that there was no evidence of conspiracy before him. Conspiracy was one of those offences in which it need not be proved that there was any direct agreement. It was sufficient to show that the persons had been acting with one common object. He did not follow the learned counsel in his remarks about the hindrances to the initiation of the case. Those observations were very much beside the point. He did not think Inspector Abberline deserved the censure which had been passed upon him. When one looked at the circumstances he could only arrive at the conclusion that there was the object on the part of all three defendants to abduct certain boys from the jurisdiction of the courts of this country, so that their evidence might not be available. He could not see that Mr. Newton could have imagined that the prosecutions were over; why, he had had a letter from a solicitor to the Teasury to the opposite effect, saying that Allies would yet be wanted. The learned magistrate proceeded to comment on the circumstances of the interviews with Allies and with the other lads in December. He said he was forced to arrive at a decision that a prima facie case had been made out, and that he would have to commit all three defendants for trial.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Newton then made a statement to the effect that he was innocent, and had been acting under the best legal advice.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Taylorson and De Galla also made statement.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Bail was allowed each defendant in a sum of 100l.

The sentence in the case of the pseudo-clergyman Veck, who was Hammond's partner, was entirely and scandalously inadequate. He charged the Goverenment with securing the pleas of guilty in these cases that the scandal might be hushed up in the interest of richer and more influential persons. ("Oh.") Indeed, he believed Veck would never have been prosecuted at all had it not been for the action of the Post Office, for which he honoured the Postmaster-General and the Secretary of the Post Office. (Cheers.) He begged the House to note that Hammond was not watched by the police, and that on the following day to that on which the boys gave information respecting him, an intimation of the fact was brought by Newlove, and Hammond forthwith fled the country. But the police, unlike the Treasury, were perfectly in earnest in the matter, and they and the Post Office urged that Hammond, who had with him an English boy abstracted from his parents, should be brought back to England. What happened? Lord Salisbury wrote, and the Treasury forwarded to the police a letter saying that the Government could not ask that the man should be extradited from France. A month elapsed, and Hammond crossed to Belgium, still shadowed by the English and local police. Application being again made to the Treasury for extradition, a second reply was sent that there was no evidence of an extraditable offence, and that it could not, therefore, be asked for. He believed the Law of Extradition extended to these offences. Why was it not put in force, and why was Hammond hunted from France and Belgium until he was safely on board a Transatlantic steamer? The object was obvious.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT WANT ANY FURTHER REVELATIONS.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Illustration of Lord Arthur SomersetProceeding, Mr. Labouchere dealt with the case of Lord Arthur Somerset. Why, when that person was recognised by the police at Knights-bridge Barracks and at the funeral of the Dowager Duchess of Beauifort, did the Treasury reply, giving instructions for the immediate withdrawal of the constables? and why did Lord Salisbury intimte to those who could communicate with Lord Arthur Somerset that the Government would on the morrow issue a warrant for his arrest? (Cheers.) Of course Lord Arthur Somerset fled the country, and even then he was not dismissed from his regiment, but allowed to resign, and even now held the position of magistrate in two counties. (Loud cries of "Oh" and cheers.) What right had Lord Salisbury to interfere in this way? The Premier had acted not only criminally but foolishly, for the upper classes had, through his attempts to hush up the cases, been the subject of endless and unfounded whisperings. He knew of several persons who ought to have been arrested, but, so far as he knew, there was no ground whatever for the suspicions breathed in the clubs against any one of the gentlemen there mentioned. (General cheers.) He wished too to say that he honoured and respected the Prince ofWales for the action he had taken, which was wise, honourable, and worthy of his position. (Renewed cheers.) He did not know what the reply of the Government would be, but he would advise them not to put up a lawyer with a brief in his hands, to defend them by evasive chicanery. (Loud Ministerial cries of "Order" and "Withdraw.") Very well, he would say what would have the same meaning to those near him. Let not the Government be defended by the same tactics as were pursued in regard to the Parnell Commission. (Opposition cheers, and Ministerial cries of"Withdraw.") He appealed to all members of the House, as English gentlemen, to support him in this demand – that there should be no condonation. He appealed to them to stand by the old doctrine of equal justice between man and man, and secure a complete enquiry into the whole matter. (Loud Opposition cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Attorney-General, who was received with loud Ministerial cheers, said he had never heard charges made in the House approaching in importance to those of the hon. member. He had charged the Prime Minister with being party to a criminal conspiracy to defeat the ends of justice – (Opposition cheers) – and he charged subordinate officials with being parties to the conspiracy. These and other charges were disgraceful if true. They were still more disgraceful if false. The hon. member knew that he (the Attorney-General) must be one of the persons charged with this criminal conspiracy, and yet ye endeavoured to discount what he might say in defence by declaring beforehand that it could only be chicanery of a lawyer. (Ministerial cheers.) That was fair play, indeed?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">THE MAIN CHARGE</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">was the allegation that Lord Salisbury had intentionally given information so that Lord Arthur Somerset should escape punishment. There was not a shadow of foundation for that statement (Ministerial cheers), and he would ask the hon. member why was it not made where it could be answered by the noble lord himself? The hon. gentleman himself had stated that in the case of Hammond he (the Attorney-General) received instructions, or gave instructions himself, that no prosecutions were to take place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: No, no.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Attorney-General: Well, that charge was made in connection with one of the cases, but there was not a shadow of foundation for the charge. (Ministerial cheers.) He (the Attorney-General) had acted on his own responsibility, and his sole wish had been that when the evidence was sufficient, all guilty persons should, without distinction, be brought to justice. Anyone who put forward suich charges ought to be practically certain that he could prove them. (Nationalist cries of "Piggott.") Up to August 20 there was not, in his judgment, sufficient evidence, and on that day Veck was arrested and committed for trial. The gravamen of the charge, the Veck and Newlove case, was that a light sentence was arranged between the oppositing counsel. On that point Mr. Poland wrote to him, emphatically denying that there was any arrangement, direct or indirect. After that, would the hon. member say there was anything in the accusation?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: I still assert there was an understanding beforehand about these persons pleading guilty. I never said it was "agreed." That is not how things are done. The prosecuting counsel say, "Don't you think you had better plead guilty? I think you had better, and we will see what we can do for you."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Attorney-General: The hon. gentleman said he was credibly informed that this arrangement was made between counsel. Will he say who his credible informant was? (Ministerial cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: No, I will not, for the same reason that the Irish Secretary always gives with regard to boycotting – that he would be a marked man. (Cheers and laughter.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Attorney-General? No the House can see the principle of the evidence on which the hon. member proceeds. (Ministerial cheers and laughter.) He was as certain as he stood there. (Parnellite cries of "Pledge your reputation on it," and "Order") that the hon. gentleman would not give the name. Then as to the suggested light sentence, there was</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">NOT ONE SHADOW OF FOUNDATION</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">for the suggestion that anything was done out of the ordinary course of justice – Ministerial cheers) – with regard to Hammond. No information of any sort or kind was given to the police until the afternoon of July 5, and Hammond left the country on the morning of that day. From that moment Hammond had been out of the reach of the law, and could not be extradited. Every step had, however, been taken to get him on board a British vessel that he might be arrested. The interets of public justice demanded that the hon. member for Northampton should state on whose authority he alleged that the Government wanted to send Hammond away. Were these charges to be handed about by a gentleman who chose to believe any claptrap he might hear. (Laughter.) The charge against Lord Salisbury of conniving at Lord Arthur Soemrset's flight stood on a different footing. For many months he (the Attorney-General) had the anxiety of considering whether there was sufficient evidence against Lord Arthur Somerset for the issue of a warrant against him. It was on November 6 that he gave directions for the warrant to be issued. He did not trust his own judgment, for in the month of August he took the opinion of the Lord Chancellor – (Opposition laughter, and a Voice: "Chief jobber") – as to the sufficiency of the evidence, and the Lord Chancellor, after careful examination, came to the distinct conclusion that there was no evidence on which a man could be put on his trial. The evidence which came to hand in September was also deemed insufficient. The attorney-General proceeded to deal with the charge made against Lord Salisbury regarding the communication with Sir Dighton Probyn, and asked from whom Mr. Labouchere got his information.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: The right hon. gentleman asks me a question. I will offer him this: I will write down the name of the person from whom I received it, and then leave it to the right hon. gentleman to read it out to the House or not. (Opposition cheers and "Accept the challenge.")</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Attorney-General said he wanted a yes or no to the question whether the hon. member got it from Sir Dighton Probyn. There were two parties to the interview. The story was that Sir Dighton Probyn, having telegraphed for an intervieww with Lord Salisbury, was told by the Prime Minister that he would issue the warrants immediately, and that that communication was intended to be conveyed to Lord Arthur Somerset. The answer to that story was the simple statement of Lord Salisbury, which could not be made otherwise than through him (the Attorney-General) in consequence of the course adopted by the hon. member. Lord Salisbury said he saw Sir Dighton Probyn on the evening of the day on which Lord Arthur Somerset fled from London. Sir Dighton asked if there was any truth in the imputations which had been made against certain persons whom he named. Lord Salisbury said that, as far as he knew, there was not a vestige of evidence against any of those persons except one, and in his case the evidence of identification was not sufficient. After he left Lord Salisbury</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">SIR DIGHTON NEVER SAW LORD ARTHUR SOMERSET</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">again, or commuicated with him, and no one was more surprised that Sir Dighton himself that Lord Arthur Somerset had gone, for he believed him innocent. There was no foundation for stating Lord Salisbury said he was going to issue a warrant.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: Does he deny it? (Opposition cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Attorney-General: Does the hon. member suppose it consistent with that statement that Lord Salisbury should have gone on to say he would issue a warrant?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: that is not a denial. (Loud Opposition cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Attorney-General asked why the hon. member did not get the question put across the floor of the House of Lords.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: I have not got the House of Lords in my pocket. (Opposition cheers and laughter.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Attorney-General (warmly): No; the hon. member has not got lords in his pocket to do such dirty work as this. (Loud Ministerial cheers.) If the hon. member had a scrap of evidence he would be only too glad to produce it. (Renewed cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere here rose, and, holding out a scrap of paper, said, amidst intense excitement: If the right hon. gentleman will take this paper, with the name on it, I leave it to him to read it to the House or not, as he likes. (Opposition cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Chairman: Order, order.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Attorney-General: I am entitled to ask, did he get the statement from Sir Dighton Probyn? (Opposition cries of "Oh," and "Take the paper.")</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere turned round in his seat and waved the paper in the face of members of the Opposition, which caused a renwed burst of cheering.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Attorney-General said the hon. member was not justified in making these charges on hearsay evidence. ("Oh!")</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr.Labouchere: It is not hearsay evidence.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Attorney-General said the hon. member knew perfectly well he did not get his information from Sir Dighton Probyn or Lord Salisbury; therefore it must be hearsay evidence. (Ministerial cheers.) A more infamous charge, without a shadow of confirmation, was never brought. (Loud cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: I offered to write down the name of the gentleman on a piece of paper, and leave it to him to read it to the House. (Cries of "Read it yourself.") I understand why he did not accept the offer. I assert this – if I am obliged to do it – that</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I DO NOT BELIEVE LORD SALISBURY.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">(Loud Opposition cheers, and Ministerial cries of "Oh.")</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Chairman: There is a certain courtesy due to Lord Salisbury – to members of this House or members of the other House and it would be intolerable to use such language to a member of this House or the other. (Ministerial cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere (with warmth): I repeat it. (Radical cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Chairman: Does the hon. gentleman withdraw?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: I decline, sir, to withdraw it. (Renewed Radical cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Chairman: Then I have to exercise the power which is vested in me. (After a pause.) Does the hon. member withdraw?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: No. (Radical cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. T. P. O'Connor: Is there any precedent for a member of this House being called upon to withdraw a statement as to a member of the other house? (Cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Chairman: I again ask the hon. member to withdraw.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: And I decline. (Radical cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Chairman: Then I name Mr. Henry Laabouchere. (Ministerial cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Smith: I beg to move that Mr. Henry Labouchere be suspended from the service of this House. (Renewed Ministerial cheers.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The House divided on the motion, and much excitement prevailed, the Attorney-General being greeted with jeers and cries of "Pigott." The figures were declared to be</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> For the suspension 177</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Against 96</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Majority 81</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Cheers and counter-cheers greeted the announcement of the figures.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Courtney then left the chair, and the House being resumed, reported the result to the Speaker.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Robertson, addressing the Speaker, asked if he could obtain the Speaker's opinion as to the chairman's ruling.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Speaker: No, this is not the time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The question of the suspension was then put from the chair, and the "Noes" seeming to preponderate, the Speaker, amid loud Radical cheering, said he thought the "Noes" had it, but subsequently called a division, when there were:–</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Ayes 173</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Noes 97</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Majority 81</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The Speaker: I now call on the hon. member to withdraw.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Mr. Labouchere: I get, sir, to withdraw, and at the same time to express regret that my conscience would not allow me to say that I believed Lord Salisbury. (Loud and prolonged Radical cheers, amongst which the hon. member withdrew.) . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> The discussion was then resumed, and eventually the closure was applied, when 206 voted against Mr. Labouchere's proposed reduction of the vote, against 66 in favour of it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">MR.

He claims that he was not responsible for what went on in the Cleveland-street house, because while he lived there he was paralysed – a fact which he says he can prove by the testimony of Sir Andrew Clark and other London physicians who prescribed for him.

There is where Lord Salisbury the Prime Minister, Mr. Henry Matthews the Home Secretary, Lord Halsbury the Lord Chancellor, and Sir Richard Webster the Attorney-General have such an advantage over common folk when they want to do a particularly dirty piece of business. Let anyone who wishes to understand even a little of the Cleveland Street scandal read carefully the full report in the Times of Saturday of what took place in the House of Commons on the Friday night. Whether Lord Salisbury is a liar or not is a matter that has long since been settled. But what has not yet been settled is the right of the four highly respectable personages named above to remove a filthy case from ordinary course of criminal procedure for the advantage of a gang of aristocratic miscreants. Mr. Henry Labouchere is a bitter opponent of Social-Democrats, though he confesses that he "doesn't even know what Socialism means." Yet it seems to us that we, and all who are opposed to a systematic manipulation of the administration of justice so as to have one law for the rich and another for the poor, owe Mr. Labouchere sincere thanks for his plucky conduct on this occasion.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> There was not the slightest necessity for Lord Salisbuiry, Mr. Henry Matthews, Sir Richard Webster or the Lord Chancellor to have interfered in the matter at all. Why then did they all take such a deep interest in the Cleveland Street case? Have they nothing better to do than to go into the minutest details of such criminal offences? The very idea is absurd. The character of the wretch Hammond's house had been known for years. Attempts had frequently been made to get the place closed. But the very police who are ready enough to hound poor women of loose life about from one district to another somehow always shut their eyes to what went on at 10 [actually 19], Cleveland Street. Why? Because the den had been established and was maintained by men of the highest position and influence. What was the house principally used for? For the deliberately calculated debauchery of boys in the public service – there, Sir Richard, is where the public interest, which you are paid an enormous salary to be the protectcor of, comes in – by aristocrats and men of fashion. This, we say, has been going on for years with impunity, though the facts, as well as the habitual frequenters of this house, were well known to the police. Suddenly, by an accident, the whole hideous story is forced out. Hammond is allowed to escape immediately, and no serious effort is made to get hold of him. His associates are tried in circumstances absolutely unprecedented. They plead guilty, hold their tongues, and are let off with absurdly light punishments. Mr. Ernest Parke is imprisoned for twelve months at the suit of the immaculate Lord Euston, and all is made quite comfortable for the bulk of these pets of "society." Is the matter to rest here? We imagine not. Lord Arthur Somerset is merely a scapegoat, though anybody can see his escape was winked at as Hammond's was. The list of habitual frequenters has been passed round: names of many have been published in the foreign papers. Mr. Labouchere will, we hope, press for a Committee or a Commission of Inquiry in order that the aristocrats and men of fashion who have corrupted scores, if not hundreds, of boys in the public service may be made an example of. If the Prince of Wales, Sir Dighton Probyn, and Sir Francis Knollys are interested in the matter, so, and much more so, is the public at large.

Hammond mentions the name of a man who visited his house in Cleveland Street, whose father occupies a prominent position in London. It is observed from these remarks that Hammond wants money, and that also whatever he may have said about his being the man who kept the house in Cleveland Street was untrue. He has torn off the mask, and now theatens to disclose the names of several other men high in station who were, as he alleges, customers at his house of crime.

Acting in this belief, he took steps to get Hammond to leave Belgium for America, where his blackmailing efforts would be less effectual.

PARKE. – The petition which is being promoted with a view to obtaining the release of Mr Ernest Parke, now in prison for libel in connection with the Cleveland Street scandals, is being largely signed in London. the friends of Mr Parke have some grounds for anticipating a favourable reply, and they believe that Mr Matthews will sympathise with the view that he has been sufficiently punished for his action. The points upon which the petitioners rely are briefly as follow:– That Mr Justice Hawkins was wrong in believing that Parke did nothing before publication to satisfy himself of the truth of the allegations; that his honest intent may plead for mitigation of punishment; that inasmuch as four months was thought sufficient punishment for Newlove's crime, and nine months for Veck's a much shorter detention would be a sufficient punishment for Parke's offence; and that to a man of Parke's delicate constitution and habits, 12 months' incarceration is likely to permanently injure his health. Indeed, the last has already been affected. He continues to remain in the infirmary and under the care of the doctor; and a friend of his who recently saw him came awaay convinced that he was suffering seriously.

Before he died Academy Award Winning Russian-American Actor Yul Brynner made a couple of Public Service Announcements. The first was about cancer, Yul was dying from Lung Cancer, so he made a plea for people not to smoke and quit if they already were. His second PSA was about the Gypsies. While Russian on his father's side, he was part Gypsy on his mother's side of the family. He spoke about how everyone remembered the suffering of the Jews in WWII, but almost no one knew of the suffering of Gypsies. Before WWII, there were 1,000,000 Gypsies in Europe. After World War II, the UN couldn't find a single one, ZERO! It was speculated that maybe 400 children were hidden by families throughout Europe. Yul spoke against racism and prejudice, because he lost members of his family to the Nazis. </span></div>

Immediately after being appointed Chancellor of Germany by German President Hindenburg, Hitler began programs to see what the German People would allow him to do. He outlawed demonstrations as acts of treason, after 100,000 Berliners protested his appointment to Royalist/Conservative Chancellor von Papen's Cabinet. Next, he had the military begin public demonstrations military equipment in public parks. Here 10-year-old and older boys are taught how to fire a military grade machine guns in a Berlin Park. Last he ran a trial program of imprisoning every gay in Germany in Concentration Camps as a means of enforcing public morality. When there were no protests or legal issues, he began exterminating them. Jews, Leftists, Liberals, Communists and Gypsies were next on his list. </span></div>

In 1902, the US experienced one of the most effective strikes in our history. Coal miners throughout the US went on strike. Within days major industries across the country were shut down because of a lack of coal. President Teddy Roosevelt (R-NY) was a Libertarian and had a hands off attitude towards business and labor. This situation was serious enough that he had to do something. REPUBLICAN Big Business was demanding that he send in the US Army and crush the strikers. But Roosevelt knew from several labor actions in the past, after troops were sent in, massacres and the deaths of 100's of strikers followed. Before doing that, Teddy Roosevelt wanted to investigate the issues and see if a negotiated settlement was possible. What he found shocked him.<br />
Turns out that Coal Mines employed boys as young as 8-years-old to work in the mines. Whole families were employed in coal mines, barely able to pay rent on company owned housing and buy groceries at company owned stores. In both cases, Roosevelt found that miners were gouged, charged far more than others were throughout the country. Mines were located in isolated communities, far away from towns and cities. The only housing was company housing, since the mines owned all the land for miles, same for grocery and other stores. Mine jobs were starvation wage jobs. A cycle of desperation and poverty grew out of this culture, as well as massive profits for the mine owners. Whole families worked, because they would starve otherwise.<br />

What the mine owners and business leaders hadn't counted on was Teddy loved his kids. When he started getting reports from investigators about the lives and working conditions of miners and their families, he was shocked and couldn't believe it. Kids as young as 8-years-old working in mines, beaten by their supervisors. Many times crippled by dangerous working conditions. Boys who lost an arm or leg in this dangerous line of work suffered unimaginably, there was no Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Disability in that Age of Republican Libertarian Free Enterprise, the only thing the crippled boy would get is a pink slip from the company and a bill from the company doctor. Many boys would commit suicide because they had no way to pay the doctor's bill for their injury, no way to earn a living from that point forward and could only be burden to their overburdened, impoverished families. </div>

These are breaker boys, the youngest mine employees, these boys would sit on perches 12 to 16 hours a day, above conveyor belts passing coal beneath their feet. They would kick and stomp large pieces of anthracite coal to break it into smaller pieces. NOTE THE CANE IN THEIR SUPERVISOR'S HAND TO BEAT THESE BOYS. He would beat these children if even one piece slipped through un-crushed or a non-coal rock was not removed from the conveyor belt. As common as the sound of the screeching machinery was in the mines, the sound of screams from these boys being beaten would often be as loud or louder and as common. The Business of America is Business was a common Republican mantra of the time. Jobs could make a ten-year-old an old man in no time.<br />
<br />
Mine owners would never allow Social Workers or Reporters from newspapers on THEIR LAND and the local sheriff worked for them too. No one knew about any of this because the rich mine owners didn't want anyone to know. They were arch criminals, having committed the perfect crime, a crime against humanity.<br />
<br />
Even the most hopeful, strong young boy was worn down and crippled by work far too hard for him,<br />

These boys worked daylight hours in the total darkness of the mines, 100's of feet below the surface, coming home after the sun set, having no idea what sunlight and play were, growing old far before their time, which made the incredibly rich mine owners happy. Many boys would eventually go blind because of the lack of sunlight, most died before their 35th birthday from coal dust, from horrific beatings, from hunger and disease. They had to grow up fast, if they were going to grow up at all. Remember these kids look like your kid, the only difference, they were beaten by their boss and had no idea what playing football or baseball was, much less what happiness was. Exactly like their Republican bosses wanted it. </div>

Even boys who survived a childhood of horrifically hard labor, 12 to 16 hour days and beatings by their supervisors could be left bent and crippled, suffering pain for the rest of their lives. But their employers made money and that was more important to Pro-Life Libertarian Republicans.</div>

Of course, these crippled boys were fired immediately, many chose suicide rather than being a burden on their families. Some would escape to the cities and try selling newspapers using crutches. A boy who should have earned respect, depended on pity to make a living. While millionaire mine owners would have steak and lobster for dinner, these boys would know hunger every second of their lives. </div>

Can you imagine losing an arm or leg, then losing your job and then getting a bill from the company doctor, the perfect storm to drive a child over the edge into committing suicide. Republican Judges never held employers accountable. Even if an eight-year-old was killed in a mine by the explosion of nitroglycerin, because it had to be his fault he was dead or injured, or crippled for life. </div>

When President Teddy Roosevelt (R-NY) saw the suffering of miners and their families he became the implacable enemy of the mine owners. He intervened in the Coal Strike, implemented, for the time, a fair settlement and began breaking up huge conglomerates that had far too much power. But mostly because he saw the children whose lives had been destroyed. He broke off friendships with mine owners, many he had grown up with and knew his whole life. He even left the Republican Party, when it was made clear they had no interest in Child Labor Laws or Children. Even though I am sure that they were pro-life, even then. Can't you see how much Republicans care about children, in these boy's faces? </div>

Teddy Roosevelt(R-NY), Woodrow Wilson(D-NJ), Harry Truman(D-MO), Lyndon "LBJ" Johnson(D-TX) and Franklin "FDR" Roosevelt(D-NY) implemented Child Labor Laws, Disability, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to protect those who were injured. While Donald Trump protects those who injure them.</div>

Though she came from one of the wealthiest families in America, Eleanor Roosevelt spent her life in service to the poor, here she is reading a story to visitors to her home in Hyde Park New York in 1957. FDR noticed, after winning the New York Governor's Office in 1930 and after the Wall Street Crash of October 29, 1929, that elderly people were becoming homeless, living in the streets after banks took away their homes. He came up with the Social Security as a means of stopping it from ever happening again. </div>

A 13-year-old boy in Albuquerque, New Mexico was arrested by a Campus Cop for BURPING IN CLASS, no detention, no suspension, no expulsion, the boy was handcuffed, taken to a Republican PRIVATE FOR PROFIT JUVENILE PRISON, stripped naked, cavity searched and thrown in a jail cell. When he appeared in juvenile court a week later, the judge was furious at this miscarriage of justice. REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR Susana Martinez demanded that the case be appealed, the case was appealed over and over again until it hit the Republican DOMINATED FEDERAL 10 Circuit, which endorsed imprisoning children for Burping. 13-year-old boys get tortured and raped in prison, but for BURPING? When Gov. Martinez(R-NM) ran for re-election in 2018, her support for private for profit prisons and juvenile prisons was one of the reasons she was defeated. Republicans all need to take their moral compasses to SEARS and have them re-calibrated, they are obviously broken if they think private, for profit prisons with low paid guards solve anything. </div>

A REPUBLICAN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT JUVENILE PRISON made the news recently when low paid guards allowed older, bigger 17 and 18-year-old boys to bully and beat-up other boys, for the sake of recreational fights and beatings for the guards/boys' entertainment, if they kept things quiet in the CHILDREN'S prison, then as a reward, these older boys were allowed to have sex with younger inmates, some as young at 10 to 14-years-old, voluntarily or involuntarily, boys incarcerated for crimes like theft, shoplifting and truancy. </div>

Charles Manson first victim, teenager Steven Parent, was the first killed and the first forgotten; 15-year-old teenager Frank Struthers came home from the lake with friends and found his Mom and Stepfather murdered, then found out that if he had been home he would have been tortured and murdered too; the first Tarzan was Gordon Griffith and What's My Line's INTREPID REPORTER Dorothy Kilgallen</span><br />

When people speak of Charles Manson Murders they almost always leave one name out, teenager Steven Parent. He was the first to be killed and the first to be forgotten. Steven had just graduated from Arroyo High School in El Monte. He was a hustler, working a full time job and selling electronics for a local store on the side in his spare time.<br />
Steven was a nice guy, he saw Sharon Tate caretaker teenager William Garretson hitchhiking while driving his his father’s 1966 White Nash Ambassador and gave him a lift. William invited him to come by for a Coke if he was in the neighborhood of 10050 Cielo Drive.</span><br />

William Garretson's High School Graduation Photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
William Garretson was a teenager from Ohio, hired by Rudy Altobelli owner of 10050 Cielo Drive to be caretaker for his tenants Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate. On that fateful Saturday Morning, Roman was in London, while Sharon was entertaining her friends, including Coffee heiress Abigail Folger and chic hairstylist Jay Sebring.<br />
<br />
Steven gave William a call on Friday August 8, 1969 around 11 PM and said he was in the neighborhood and asked if he could drop by. He brought a Sony Clock Radio with him to see if William might be interested in buying it. They spent around 45 minutes together and called it a night. Steven would have to try harder next time.<br />
As he was driving out of the Altobelli Estate, Steven stopped at the gate to press the button to open it, he was met by dark figure who screamed, “Halt!” Then Manson Family member Charles “Tex” Watson approached Steven with a .22 revolver in one hand and a buck knife in the other. Parent told Watson, “Please don’t hurt me. I won’t say anything.” Watson then shot Steven 4 times and viciously stabbed the boy to death. In his effort to protect himself, Steven fended off Tex's blows with his flailing arms. Tex's buck knife cut off Steven's wrist watch in the process.</span><br />

After midnight, he heard noises, not sure if it was owner Hollywood Agent Rudi Altobelli's dogs or their friends from the neighborhood. He turned off the lights and put on headphones. It probably saved his life. Tex sent Linda Kasabian to check the guesthouse and she was gone a couple of minutes came back and said no one was there. She lied, she had only been a half-hearted Manson Family Member to start with, she intended to take no part in that night's events. </span></div>

Abigail Folger, Manson Family victim, killed in front of the house, about 100 yards from William Garretson in the Guest House.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
"In the opinion of the investigating officers and by the S.I.D., it is highly unlikely that Garretson was not aware of the screams, gunshots or other turmoil…these findings, however, did not absolutely preclude the fact that Garretson did not hear or see an events connected with the homicide....It is the investigators' opinion that Garretson was under the residual effects of some type of narcotic during the entire time he was in police custody. It's possible, but not probable that Garretson had no real knowledge of the crime." Police Lt. Burdick came to the conclusion that Garretson was innocent of the actual murders, but may have been hiding something. </span></div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Hollywood Agent Rudi Altobelli was gay. Police connected to the investigation SPECULATED that homeless, penniless, teenager William Garretson got his job because he was willing to and had had sex with the home owner. Altobelli would admit that he liked Garretson and that his guard dogs liked the teen too. Any caretaker would have to take care of Altobelli's prized dogs. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
During the Polygraph administered by Detective Burdick, he asked about Steven Parent calling, then dropping in:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Q: And he surprised you?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
A: Well, he didn't surprise me that he came, just that you know--I mean he came up to visit me and when he left, you know, that's horrible.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Two facts came out of the interrogation, which helped win William his freedom. He was lonely, he had no car, the house was miles from the nearest store and entertainment. The maid would take a list of groceries he wanted when she went shopping for Sharon and her guests. Whatever the reason for Steven's visit, a little company would be a welcome blessing for the boy. </span></div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Lt. Burdick had heard that Altobelli was gay, so he asked the William: </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Q: Ever had sex with a man?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
A: Yes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Then he asked him if he was gay or whether he had sex with any of the victims, Garretson gave a firm, "No!"</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Then Burdick asks, "Is there something right now that's on your mind that you don't want to disclose?" </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Garretson replies, "All I can say is I was really afraid that night." </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Burdick: "I want you to sit here and think for a minute. Looks like there's something you're holding back." Whether it's about Steve or looking in that window or what it is, I don't know.”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Later in the interrogation, it turned out William blamed himself of the Steven's death. As he said, if he hadn't gotten a lift from Steven, Steven would have never been there that night. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
An addendum in the final police report stated: </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
" Steven Earl Parent, male Caucasian, 18 years, 6-0, 175, red hair, brown eyes. He lived with his parents at 11214 East Bryant Road, El Monte. His main occupation was that of a delivery boy for Valley City Plumbing Supply Company in Rosemead, California. He also worked part time at night for Jonas Miller Stereo, 8719 Wilshire Boulevard. On Friday morning, 8-8-69, he told his mother to have a clean change of clothes for him when he came home for lunch from his job at the plumbing supply company. He told her he was going to work at his second job and didn't want to come home after work before going to Hollywood for his second job. Parent has an arrest record as a juvenile at age 14-years-old for burglary of electronic equipment. He served time in the California Youth Authority program. He was described as having homosexual tendencies by a psychologist probation officer."</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
It should be noted at this point, Steven's juvenile records show that the turned his life around and hadn't been in any trouble since his arrest for burglary as a juvenile. He was a poor kid, from a lower middle class neighborhood, blessed with a brilliant mind. Electronics fascinated him, but his family's limited means and school, which offered no opportunity for him to explore his field of interest sidetracked him. When his case was resolved, adults intervened and got Steven a job in the field of electronics and introduced him to teachers in the field. From that point on, Steven made good grades in school and was set to enter college in a few days, until he was murdered. He was working two jobs and both employers not only liked him, they also said he was the best employee they had. A good kid who had his life stolen from him.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Steven's juvenile report probably explains the investigation being sidetracked on the Parent-Garretson angle for a few days, which allowed Charles Manson to proceed with their insane criminal plan with impunity, as the LaBianca/Struthers family would soon discover.<br />
<br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">
I was 12-years-old in 1969 and remember a photo of William Garretson being arrested, taken to jail. Everyone in the press was reporting him as the killer. Then a few days later he was released and the charges dropped. I speculated that for those few days, he must have been the loneliest person on earth, no friends, no family and accused of a horrendous murder. Police held him in custody from Saturday August 9th until after the LaBianca Murders and they finally made the connection between the two horrific crimes a few days later.<br />
<br />
From Suspect to Witness, this photo of Garretson was in almost every newspaper in the US, the story of his release received much less coverage.<br />

Also helping establish Garretson's innocence, was ten-year-old Steven Weiss, who found the murder weapon in his backyard in Sherman Oaks. Steven's house was located below an embankment and Beverly Glen Boulevard which led away from Sharon Tate's House. The Family had thrown the gun over the embankment on September 1, 1969. Steven was reported in the press to have received $1000 of the $25,000 reward offered by Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate's husband, and actors like Yul Brynner and Warren Beatty. This press claim was repeated in Vincent Bugliosi's book "Helter Skelter." </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Turns out Steven never received the money.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Steven ran into District Attorney Bugliosi in Las Vegas many years later. They had a long friendly discussion about the case. When he found out about the reward, Bugliosi apologized to Steven. Steven is interviewed by Scott Michaels of Dearly Departed Tours and he talks about finding the gun as a kid and the trial. </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODe4VtYBXzA" style="font-size: large;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODe4VtYBXzA</a></div>

“I picked it up in my hand by the tip of the barrel,” Steven Weiss replied.<br />
Is there any reason you picked it up by the barrel?” the attorney asked.<br />
“For the sake of the finger prints,” Steven said.<br />
Mr. Fitzgerald then asked if the policeman who went to the house had touched the gun. Steven said that he had.<br />
“How did he touch it?” the attorney went on.<br />
“With both hands all over the gun,” Steven answered, with apparent chagrin, sending a wave of laughter across the courtroom.<br />

Under interrogation Garretson said he learned nothing of the murders until the following day when police officers showed up at the clubhouse.<br />
<br />
"The police officer pointed a gun at me and I said, 'what's going on?' and he said, 'shut up, I'll show you,' " Garretson recalls.<br />
<br />
Garretson said the police showed him part of the murder scene before he was arrested and questioned.<br />
<br />
"They played a lot of head games and did the whole good cop, bad cop thing and did a polygraph," Garretson said. "I was placed in a cell with a bunch of people and I remember thinking, 'how the hell am I still alive?' "<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Kott, temporary residence at 10170 Cielo Drive,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">a house located approximately 100 yards north of the Polanski house.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The Kotts entertained guests at their house until approximately 2400</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">hours (midnight). The guests departed and the Kotts retired. Between</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">0030 and 0100 hours, Mrs. Kott, while in her bedroom located at the</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">northeast corner of the house, heard what she described as four shots</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">fired in close sequence. In her opinion, the shots originated east of her</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">home. No action was taken regarding the shots at this time. A t 0730</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">hours, 8-9-69, Mr. Kott stepped out of his house and observed the</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">phone line draped over the fence and the Polanski gate. He also noted</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">that the outside lights were on.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">(0100 hours t o 0130 hours)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Mr. Tim Ireland, one of five counselors supervising a sleepout for 70</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">male and female children a t the Westlake School for Girls, located at</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">700 North Faring Road which is down the hill and directly south of the</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Polanski residence. Beteen 0100 and 0130 Mr. Ireland was awake,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">alert and watching the sleeping children. He heard a male voice from</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">what seemed to him a long distance away to the north or northeast</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">shout, "Oh, God, no. Stop. Stop. Oh, God, no, don't." Ireland said that</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">the scream persisted for approximately 10 seconds. The male voice</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">was clear and he did not notice an accent. The screams so disturbed</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Ireland that he checked the area of the sleeping children on foot, then</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">went inside the school and informed Mr. Rich Sparks of the occurrence</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">and requested permission to check the area himself in his own</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">personal vehicle. Permission was granted, and Ireland drove</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">southbound on Benedict Canyon Road to Sunset Boulevard, westbound</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">to Beverly Glenn, and northbound back to the Westlake school. He did</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">not observe anything unusual on his circuitus trip, but did hear</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">numerous dogs barking in the immediate vicinity of the school. Mr.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Ireland then checked the other counselors at the school but all had</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">been sleeping and were not aware of the incident. Mr. Ireland does not</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">recall hearing any sounds that he believes to be gunshots. (In</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">investigating officers' opinion, this is an accurate report of the incident,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">made by a competent person, alert and in full command of his</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">faculties.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">(0200 hours to 0300 hours)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Mr. Emmett Steele, 9951 Beverly Grove Drive. Mr. Steele maintains</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">two trained hunting dogs at his residence. These dogs do not generally</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">respond to ordinary traffic or house noises in the vicinity, but become</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">highly excited and bark and howl when they hear gunshots. On 8-9-</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">69, between 0200 and 0300, both dogs became highly excited,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">barking and howling. Mr. Steele went out and calmed the dogs,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">checked the area but could see nothing. Mr. Steele did not hear any</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">gunshots himself, but w a s concerned about a lavender Volkswagentype</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">dunebuggy, XSP 193, and a black foreign-type motorcycle,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">possibly a Triumph, that have been seen and reported driving about</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">the area for the past six weeks in the late night and early morning</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">hours. These two vehicles have not been connected with the incident</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">at this time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">(Approximately 0330 hours)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Mr. Marceau Mounton, an employee of the Bel Air Patrol, works 2130</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">to 0530. Mr. Mounton was on a fixed post assignment at 10231</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Charing Cross on 8-8/9-69, from 2130 t o 0530. At approximately</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">0330, Mr. Mounton heard what he first believed to be three backfires,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">but on reflection, felt the reports were too sharp and short to be</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">backfires. He said the reports were two close together, and then one</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">shortly thereafter. Mr. Mounton was positioned on the south side of</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">the residence and could not be sure from what direction the sound</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">came. This location is approximately 1/4 mile south of the location of</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">occurrence and below the mouth of the canyon. When Mr. Mounton</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">went off duty a t 0530 he mentioned this occurrence to Mr. Karlson (1-</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">3), the desk man at Bel Air Patrol.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">(0400 hours)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">At 0400, Mr . Bullington was stopped in front of 2175 Summit Ridge</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Drive. He was parked facing northbound with the driver's window</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">down and heard what he believed to be three shots. They sounded as</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">if they came from some distance to the west. The sequence was one</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">shot, a 2/3-second pause, another shot, a 4/5-second pause, and a</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">final shot. Mr. Bullington contacted Bel Air Patrol by radio (Mr. Karlson,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">1-3, states time was 0411) and reported this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">(0411 hours)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Mr. Karlson was on duty on 8-9-69, and at 0411 was contacted by</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">radio by patrolman Bullington of Bel Air Patrol who had stopped a t</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">2175 Summit Ridge. Officer Bullington reported to Karlton he had</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">heard three shots spaced several seconds apart. Karlton called West</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Los Angeles desk a t 0412 and reported this to an unknown officer who</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">stated, "I hope we don't have a murder. We just had a womanscreaming</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">call in that area."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">(0400 hours)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Carlos Gill, 9955 Beverly Grove Drive, Carlos is a Mexican national, 14</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">years of age. He had been asleep, awoke at 2300 hours and began</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">writing letters in his room. From his bedroom located on the opposite</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">side of Benedict Canyon, it is possible to look directly across the</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">canyon a t approximately the same elevation and view the front of the</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Polanski residence. The distance is estimated as approximately 1/4 to</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">1/2 mile. At approximately 0400 hours he heard the sound of voices</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">arguing. He believed it was three or four persons. The argument</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">increased in volume and became more heated. It lasted approximately</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">one minute and then subsided abruptly. He indicated that in his</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">opinion the sounds originated from the direction of the Polanski</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">residence. At the time of the occurrence he stood by the window in his</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">lighted room and looked in that direction but could see nothing. He</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">said that the severity of the argument so frightened him that he went</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">immediately to bed after closing the window.</div></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
<br />Garretson was exonerated when police determined that the double homicide of Leno and Rosemary Labianca was by the same killers a few days later. The LaBiancas lived in a house formerly owned by Walt Disney when he first moved to California from Missouri in 1924 at 3311 Waverly Drive Los Angeles, CA 90027. Walt was born in Marceline Missouri and later moved to Kansas City where he was a newspaper boy. He first became involved in animation through advertising, later cartoons.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: medium;">15-year-old Frank Struthers Jr. was a generally good kid. The only exception, he was caught joy riding with a bunch of friends in a car one of them had borrowed from a relative, without permission. Joy Riding is taking a car without permission from a neighbor, friend or family member and going out driving, then returning the car before it is discovered to be missing. Since the intent is not to steal the car, it is usually treated as a less serious offense. </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Frank returned home from a boating weekend and a sleep over at a friend's house and saw that his stepfather Leno LaBianca failed to put the family boat in the garage, something he never did. He knocked on the door and no one answered. He immediately went to a neighborhood burger joint pay phone and called his sister, Suzan, and her boyfriend, when they arrived they discovered the tortured and murdered bodies of his Mom and Stepfather, in terror he ran to a neighbor's house and called police. </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Frank Struthers' testimony at trial:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div>Mary Neiswender reporting for the Long Beach Independent August 27, 1970 on Frank’s testimony at the trial.</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Wednesday, Mrs. LaBianca’s 16-year-old son, Frank Lynn Struthers, a 10th grader at Marshall High School in Los Angeles, took the witness stand to describe how he discovered the body of his stepfather.</div><div> “I went to Lake Isabella with some friends of the family, and my mother and stepfather came up to drop off our ski boat,” the youth related calmly.</div><div> “They came back to pick up the boat and take it back Saturday, Aug. 9, 1969, and I intended to return with them, but the family I was staying with wanted me to stay with them an extra day.”</div><div> The last time he saw his parents alive, he said, was when they left the recreation area with his sister, Susan, about 9 p.m. the night of the murders.</div><div> “I left for home the next day…They (the family friends) dropped me off about 8 p.m. I noticed that the boat was still hitched to the car, but I opened the garage and put some of my gear away.</div><div> “I went to the back door — we never used the front door — and I knocked, but nobody answered. I noticed the lights were off and the shades drawn, so I knocked on the den window and called but nobody answered.”</div><div> The boy said he went to a nearby hamburger stand and telephoned the house, but received no answer. He then got in touch with his sister, who was living in an apartment. She arrived about 20 minutes later with a friend, Joe Dorgan, and the three went back to the house.</div><div> “We got the keys out out of mom’s Thunderbird and opened the back door. We walked into the kitchen and turned on the lights. My sister stayed in the kitchen, and Joe and I walked through the dining room. When we got to the living room we saw Leno — my stepfather.</div><div> “He was in a crouched position. We could tell right away…” the boy didn’t finish the sentence.</div><div> “We turned around right away and headed out. Joe picked up the phone, but dropped it. We got in the car and went to a neighbor’s house to call police.”</div><div> The youth, fought for composure as he identified his mother’s wallet, which police say they found in a service station rest room. Star prosecution witness Linda Kasabian testified she had placed the wallet there on instructions from Manson, who had taken it from the La Bianca home.</div><div>Young Struthers also identified his mother’s watch and a “graduation picture of me” found in his mother’s wallet.</div><div style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">The Manson Murders were the beginning of 15-year-old Frank Struthers' nightmare</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It came out later that Manson family members had visited/BURGLARIZED the LaBianca home after visiting their neighbor's house. At the Manson trial family members admitted they committed multiple creepy crawly burglaries, where they didn't necessarily steal anything, just moved stuff around to frighten and confuse the homeowners, in this case, they targeted the LaBiancas. There are reports that members of the family met Rosemary's daughter Suzan and her boyfriend at their next door neighbor's house while he was a "friend" of the family. Eventually, the neighbor got tired of the mooching hippies and broke off the one way "friendship".</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It is known that the LaBianca's estate was a mess. Lino was an heir to a grocery store chain, but he also had a gambling problem. The LaBianca's family finances were insanely complicated and appeared to be a house of cards, to everyone except Suzan LaBerge, as administrator of the estate. Amazingly, Suzan would live a very comfortable life after her Mom and Stepdad's death. She was able to reside in a very affluent part of town, while Frank spent most of the next 20 years in a ramshackle cabin in a remote, isolated mountain community. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">After the murder, family members were shocked that Suzan sold the house with all the furnishings without any notice or fanfare. Frank Struthers' dad said Frank hadn't been notified either. There is some debate about the propriety of the entire probate. Suzan, her father was Rosemary's 1st husband, while Frank was her 2nd husband's son, was executor and never included Frank in any discussions or decisions. Frank's father said Frank Jr. got almost nothing after probate and was very vocal that Frank Jr. had been cheated out of his share of the family's estate. As if the horror of that August night was not enough, his sister's possible betrayal was all this devastated boy needed. If not for his Dad, he would have been totally alone.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>His meager obituary sums up Frank's life:</b><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Frank died at 63 years of age on June 16 2017 at Placentia Linda Hospital of, acute respiratory failure, sepsis, alcohol related liver cirrhosis. He was never married and he had worked in the restaurant business for 20 years. He lived in Placentia CA for the last 10 years of his life. His remains were cremated and scattered at sea. Frank Struthers Jr. died alone and forgotten.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Had Frank Struthers Jr. come home from the lake with his Mom and Stepfather instead of with his friend and his family, he would have been one of Charlie Manson's victims too. Charlie had already told the family that killing children would be a part of their mission. </span><br />

Can you imagine the nightmares Frank has had and still has coming home and finding his tortured and murdered mother's body? Think about that the next time someone suggests paroling the Manson family members. Frank lived alone his whole life, a recluse living alone and abandoned. Before that August night he had been a 100% normal kid.

Recently, the Walt Disney/LaBianca House in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles came on the market, but the vibes from its past would keep me from buying it, even if I could afford it.

This NY Post article refers to the fact that LaBerge and Tex Watson, a Manson Family Mass Murderer, were pen pals, in 1987 she visited Tex in prison and she has appeared at his parole hearing asking for his parole.

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;"><span>
Prior to the time of occurrence, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca had</span></div>
<div><span>
returned to Los Angeles after a day of boating on Lake Isabella with</span></div>
<div><span>
Suzanne Struthers (female Caucasian, 21, 5-6, 130, brown/blue) , who is</span></div>
<div><span>
the daughter of Mrs. LaBianca from a previous marriage. All three had</span></div>
<div><span>
visited with Frank Struthers, Jr., (male Caucasian, 15, 5-9, 140,</span></div>
<div><span>
brown/blue) , Suzan's brother, who had been vacationing at Lake</span></div>
<div><span>
Isabella with a friend, Jim Saffie (male Caucasian, 15,5-1, 120,</span></div>
<div><span>
brown/brown) , and Jim's mother, Mabiha Saffie.</span></div>
<div><span>
On August 10, 1969, after arriving in Los Angeles, Suzan Struthers</span></div>
<div><span>
was immediately driven to her apartment, 4616 Greenwood Place, by</span></div>
<div><span>
the victims and dropped off at approximately 0100h0urs. Suzan's</span></div>
<div><span>
apartment is located in the same neighborhood as the LaBianca's</span></div>
<div><span>
residence. This was the last time that Suzan was to see them alive.</span></div>
<div><span>
Following Mr. LaBianca's usual habit, they then drove to the corner of</span></div>
<div><span>
Hillhurst and Franklin where the LaBianca's had a conversation with a</span></div>
<div><span>
newspaper vendor, John T. Fokianos, (male Caucasian, 35, 5-7, 150</span></div>
<div><span>
brown/brown).</span></div>
<div><span>
Mr. Fokianos sold them a copy of the Los Angeles Times, Sunday</span></div>
<div><span>
edition, and a racing form (8-10-69). They then drove away. Mr.</span></div>
<div><span>
Fokianos observed no other persons in the vehicle. This was</span></div>
<div><span>
apparently the last time the victims were seen alive.</span></div>
<div><span>
On August 10, 1969, at approximately 2030 hours, Frank Struthers, Jr.</span></div>
<div><span>
was driven home from Lake Isabella by the Saffie family and dropped</span></div>
<div><span>
off in front of 3301 Waverly Drive, his home. He noticed that the</span></div>
<div><span>
family car, a 1968 Thunderbird, was parked on the street directly west</span></div>
<div><span>
of the house, and that the speed boat was still attached to the car. He</span></div>
<div><span>
felt this was irregular because his stepfather, Leno LaBianca, never left</span></div>
<div><span>
the car and speedboat out on the street overnight. As Frank walked up</span></div>
<div><span>
the driveway and past the kitchen windows, he noticed that the</span></div>
<div><span>
window shades were drawn, which was very unusual and he had never</span></div>
<div><span>
seen this done before. He noticed a light on in the kitchen and from</span></div>
<div><span>
habit went to the rear door leading to the kitchen and it was locked.</span></div>
<div><span>
He knocked on the door, but there was no response. He noticed his</span></div>
<div><span>
mother's 1955 Thunderbird parked by the garage and the water skis</span></div>
<div><span>
from the boat were lying on top of the fender. This indicated to him</span></div>
<div><span>
that his parents arrived home late Saturday night and had taken the</span></div>
<div><span>
skis out of the boat to lessen the risk of theft. They normally would put</span></div>
<div><span>
the boat away the following morning and this had not been done.</span></div>
<div><span>
Frank then went to the northwest side of the house and found the</span></div>
<div><span>
louvered windows open. He called for his mother and stepfather loudly</span></div>
<div><span>
through the window, but still received no response. He became</span></div>
<div><span>
alarmed and frightened</span></div>
<div>

<br /><span>
Frank Struthers, Rosemary's son by her second marriage, suspected something was wrong when he saw that his stepfather had not put the boat in the family garage. You can see it on the street in this photo. When he got to the house, he immediately suspected something was wrong, went to the neighborhood market and called his sister and her boyfriend. Frank and the boyfriend entered the house and found his parents dead. </span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>DR 69-586381 FIRST HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION PROGRESS</div><div>REPORT LA BIANCA, Leon A.</div><div>and walked several blocks to the Char burger hamburger stand located</div><div>on Hyperion Boulevard near Rowena Avenue and attempted to</div><div>telephone his sister, Suzan, through her place of employment, the</div><div>Great Scot Restaurant.

Suzan</div><div>arrived at the hamburger stand with Joseph Dorgan and they picked</div><div>Frank up and the three of them drove to the LaBianca residence. They</div><div>arrived at the residence at approximately 2225 hours and Suzan</div><div>noticed from the outside of the house that the closet light to the</div><div>master bedroom was on, and that the kitchen light was also on. They</div><div>found the keys to the residence in the '55 Thunderbird, a condition</div><div>which has existed in the past.

They entered</div><div>the living room area through the kitchen and found Mr LaBianca lying</div><div>on the floor with "something protruding from his stomach." He was</div><div>lying motionless and they assumed that he was dead. At this moment,</div><div>Suzan entered through the rear door and into the kitchen and sensed</div><div>something was wrong. Joseph Dorgan stopped her from entering the</div><div>living room and she never saw the body, but did notice some printing</div><div>on the refrigerator door, later determined to be "HEALTER SKELTER."</div><div>Mr. Dorgan attempted to call the police from the kitchen wall phone,</div><div>but became alarmed about the possibility of disturbing the scene.

At 2235</div><div>hours, Unit 6A39 was dispatched to 3301 Waverly Drive regarding an</div><div>ambulance cutting (Communications ticket No. 1-732). Unit 6A39,</div><div>Officers W. C.

Second from left chief defense lawyer Irving Karneck, on right attorney Ronald Hughes. Manson became disenchanted with Hughes who tried to work out plea bargains for Family members, while Charlie insisted on a unified defense, with all pleading not guilty. Eventually, Charlie ordered Hughes murder. While on a family camping trip during the Thanksgiving break of the trial, Hughes disappeared, his body has never been found.</span><br />

Prosecuting District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi got convictions against all defendants. He also wrote "the book" about the case, Helter Skelter. Helter Skelter was the name of a see-saw in Liverpool which the Beatles wrote a song about the chaos of their childhood. Manson believed in a coming race war, which he intended to win, the war was Helter Skelter which would allow him to take over the world after blacks and whites wiped each other out, leaving only his family. After murdering Rosemary and Leno Labianca, "the family" hid her wallet in a gas station in a black part of Los Angeles.<br />

"Charles Koenig, an attendant at the Standard service station at 12881 Ensenada Boulevard in Sylmar, was cleaning the women's rest room when he noticed that the toilet was running. Lifting the lid off the tank, he found, on top of the mechanism, damp but above the waterline, a woman's wallet. He'd checked the driver's license and credit cards, saw the name "Rosemary LaBianca," and immediately called LAPD." Helter Skelter, page 255<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teenager Frank Lynn Struthers Jr. was invited to spend the night at his buddies house, which saved his life. If he had gone home with his Mom Rosemary LaBianca and stepfather Leno August 8th 1969 he would have been killed too August 9, 1969 by the Manson Family. Frank's only interaction with police was in May 1969 when he was arrested for car theft after being stopped riding in a buddy's parents' car, which the other boy had "borrowed" without permission. His buddy was the driver. Charges were dropped. In this police report, Frank was identified as born on April 19, 1954, weight 135 pound and 5'9" tall, with brown hair and brown eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Manson had broken into their house and tied up Leno and Rosemary, then left, sending Tex Watson, Patricia Krenwinke and Leslie Van Houten to torture and murder the couple.</span> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">15-year-old Frank became a lost soul, their parents were practically bankrupt and his sister Suzan wasn't best at managing and probating the estate. He went to live with his Dad after his Mom's death, but was never the same, finding their dead bodies freaked him out and haunted him the rest of his life. Frank became a recluse, drinking too much and never having any long term relationships, living for years in a cabin in the mountains by himself, only coming to town every couple of months for groceries, Frank never got married. He would work in restaurants when he needed money. Frank's torment finally ended June 16, 2017, he died of sepsis, blood poisoning, respiratory failure and cirrhosis of the liver. Frank's remains were cremated and spread over the ocean. Frank died alone and forgotten. Frank, I remember you, pal. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Trivial Pursuit, Who was the first Tarzan? WRONG!</b></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you ever play Trivial Pursuit, try to remember that the first Tarzan was not Olympic Gold Medal Swimmer Johnny Weissmuller's "Tarzan the Ape Man" (1932) or Elmo Lincoln "Tarzan of the Apes" (1918)</div>

Johnny Weissmuller was such a great Tarzan that his yell was recorded and used by almost all future Tarzans. An interesting story, Olympic Athlete Johnny Weissmuller met and became friends with Clark Gable. One day he was driving by MGM Studios and was going to see if Clark Gable was free for lunch. He went to MGM in Culver City, founded in 1919, the guard told him, you aren't the list so you can't get in and he wouldn't let him use the phone to call Clark either. As Johnny was walking away, someone who had heard him suggested that he could go to the side entrance where there was a casting call for a new movie based on Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan. He could use that subterfuge to get in and see his pal. Weissmuller got in line, even gave an audition which consisted of taking off his shirt, much to his surprise, his swimmer's physique very much impressed the casting director. Who then put him in as a leading contender for the role. The first thing the casting director said to Johnny was that he would have to change his name, saying it was far too long for movie marquees. Then someone recognized Johnny, said he has a great physique because he won gold medals at the 1932 Olympics. And the rest is history.</div>

While Elmo Lincoln starred in Tarzan's first movie, 1918's Tarzan of the Apes.

Though probably much more famous for being a panelist on the game show "What's My Line" for almost 20 years, Hearst Reporter and Columnist Dorothy Kilgallen is the subject to one of Journalism's greatest mysteries. Dorothy Kilgallen was a brilliant, abrasive, investigative reporter and celebrity reporter. Her efforts to get to the bottom of the Dr. Sam Sheppard Murder case, helped F. Lee Bailey free the innocent man. Her abrasive style made Frank Sinatra a lifelong enemy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dr. Sam Sheppard was the model for the TV Series "The Fugitive". A burglar broke into the Sheppard home in Cleveland and killed Marilyn Sheppard. After fighting with the intruder, Dr. Sheppard was knocked senseless and the assailant was able to get away. The police chief in the town did not like Dr. Sheppard. After an initial investigation, it was determined that Sheppard was cheating on his wife. Police worked 24/7 to convict him of the crime and ignored any evidence to the contrary. The DA won a conviction for the 1954 murder, with the help of a prejudiced against the defendant judge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dorothy Kilgallen covered the trial for the Hearst papers. She became outraged at how Dr. Sheppard was being railroad and used her column to lobby for a new trial. She was instrumental in getting Dr. Sheppard new counsel, a young Boston Attorney, F. Lee Bailey</div>

A handyman had been hired by Mrs. Sheppard shortly before she was beaten to death, Richard Eberling. Police called him in for questioning. Eberling volunteered some interesting and provocative testimony to police when questioned, without prompting, that his blood might be found on the upper story of the Sheppard Home, even though none of his work involved the 2nd story of the house. Though that is where the murder occurred. He was also found to be in possession of Marilyn Sheppard's ring, which went missing at the time of her murder. He explained he had stolen it, from her while working on the house.</div>

Dr. Sam Sheppard said the man he fought with on the night of Marilyn's murder had bushy hair. Eberling was bald, but was know to wear a bushy wig.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In 1984, Eberling was convicted of murdering wealthy Ethel Mae Durkin and was suspected of murdering Ms. Durkin's two sisters, All three deaths were originally thought to be accidental, until a 2nd autopsy determined Ms. Durkin died of a beating, not a fall. Eberling was sentenced to life in prison. Though they could not do DNA testing in 1954, they could after Eberling's conviction in 1984. Chip Sheppard asked Ohio authorities to force Eberling to submit to a DNA test to see if his blood matched another party's blood found at Marilyn's murder scene. Eberling refused to volunteer and fought the matter in court.</div>

Now, shortly before she died, Dorothy Kilgallen was the ONLY Reporter to interview Lee Harvey Oswald assassin, Mafia connected, Jack Ruby. Lee Harvey Oswald said he was a "PATSY" when he was arrested for the assassination of JFK. While a member of the US Marines, Lee Harvey Oswald was seen by members of his platoon learning Russian. Since we were in the Cold War at the time, this was unbelievably strange, bordering on Treason. The men told their commanding Sergeant, Lieutenant and Captain. Word came back from command that no one was to bother Oswald. At that point, the men in his platoon all assumed Oswald was CIA. Oswald's death, prevented him from being tried for murdering President John F. Kennedy.</div>

She started to believe that he, like Oswald, might have been a “patsy.” Kilgallen also made a trip to New Orleans to talk with sources. She was zeroing in on what Mob boss Ruby may have been working for at the time of the hit on the president. She began building an investigatory file on the case that she intended to turn into a book that would be the “scoop of the century.”</div>

The book, sorry to say, never happened. Kilgallen was found dead in her townhouse on the morning of November 8th 1965. The police went along with the Medical Examiner’s report that she most likely died from an “accidental” drug overdose of a prescription sleeping pills mixed with alcohol. There was no investigation of foul play.</div>

Author Shaw rips that scenario apart. He states the death scene was “staged.” The body was found in “the wrong bed” and in “the wrong bedroom" in the mult-bedroom apartment. In addition, Kilgallen’s “makeup and false eyelashes” were still on her in bed. She was found in a blue bathrobe with nothing underneath. According to her hairdresser, she always wore “her favorite pajamas and old socks to bed.”</div>

Kilgallen had a prescription for the sleeping pills, “Seconal.” A second drug, “Tuinal,” however, was also found in her system. She had no prescription for that one. Was she slipped a “mickey?”<a href="http://lapostexaminer.com/dorothy-kilgallen-jack-ruby-toxic-mix/2017/01/15" target="_blank"> http://lapostexaminer.com/dorothy-kilgallen-jack-ruby-toxic-mix/2017/01/15</a></div>

Now, the most interesting piece of evidence, Dorothy had a book spread out on her chest, as if she had been reading in bed. Only problem Dorothy was blind as a bat, she could NOT read without her glasses. Her glasses were in her CORRECT bedroom, not the guest bedroom. </div>

Ever wonder why we have had so many problems with Iran, well, it all goes back to 1953 and is 100% our Fault. Iran held a free and fair Election, which was won by Socialist Prime Minister Mosaddegh. Immediately CIA Chief began plotting the overthrow of the elected Government. Iranians never forgot what we did to them.</div>

How people remember Cuban Refugees fleeing Cuba after Castro won the Civil War against General and Dictator Batista. Another thing to ponder, why when these same Cuban Refugees. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz's families, landed in the Bay of Pigs, was there no uprising to support them? Because no one in Cuba wanted these Batistanistas back. </div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Ross Sullivan</b> was a mentally ill teenager when he was committed to the California Patton State Mental Hospital in the late 1950's and early 60's after his Mom died. His Methodist Preacher father, who graduated from Yale Divinity School, earned a Masters Degree from Harvard and his Doctorate from Princeton, effectively abandoned his family at that point. His family had moved to Glendale California from Binghamton New York. An odd coincidence, Ross and Rod Serling both attended Binghamton High School. There is a great deal of evidence that Ross Sullivan may have been the Zodiac Killer who terrorized California in the late 1960's.</span><br />

Lizzie Borden was the daughter of Fall River, Massachusetts millionaire banker Andrew Borden, a member of one of the poorer offshoots of the powerful Borden Family. Andrew regained his family's position by becoming Fall River Massachusetts most successful undertaker. A story told about Andrew at the time gives you an idea of what kind of man he was. He had a customer who was well over 6' tall, but only had a casket for someone of average height, about 5' 8", Andrew's solution was simple, he sawed off the mans feet and ankles to make him fit. Lizzie's Mom Sarah died when she was young and she hated her Stepmother Abby Borden. On August 4, 1892 someone murdered her father and stepmother inside the house with a hatchet, a particularly grisly way to kill someone. Both victims were attacked with "Hideously Persistent" fervor, the kind of overkill which usually indicates that the murderer knew his victims. Lizzie was one of only two people known to be in the house at the time of the murder, the other was family maid Irish Bridget Sullivan. Lizzie inherited the equivalent of several million dollars as a result of the murder. Bridget got nothing, except a substantial monetary gift from Lizzie and her sister Emma after Lizzie was tried for the murder and found not guilty, because as one juror of the all male jury said, no woman would kill someone with an ax, they would use poison. Underestimating Lizzie, proves she was smarter than everyone else.</div>

David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen went to a secluded spot on Lake Herman Road to spend some "alone time". They were killed by the gate on the road to the Naval Radar Station on 12-28-1968. At the time an Unknown Assailant, who would later admit who his identity was, as the Zodiac Killer, after his next crime, he would voluntarily take credit for this crime too.</span></div>

Mike was convinced he was a policeman, until he started firing. Mike survived, Darlene did not. When Zodiac called police to report the murder, he took credit for his previous murder.</span></div>

The lake Berryessa attack on September 27, 1969 occurred on the little isthmus of land which during high water became an island. Cecelia Shepard and Brian Hartnell were stabbed repeatedly under the tree. A size 10 boot print was found at the crime scene. Bryan survived, Cecilia would not. One "footnote," the footprint expert who looked at this said that he could tell the man must have weighed at least 200 lbs. </span></div>

Palace Stationery Store was within a couple of miles of Ross Sullivan's home in Santa Cruz. In his letters to the San Francisco Chronicle, Zodiac referred to the Gilbert and Sullivan's Play the Mikado repeatedly. Here is a reference to Titwillow, a character in the play. In the play there is another character called the Grand High Executioner. A frightening thought Zodiac and I both had the same review of the Horror Movie "The Exorcist". We thought it was a comedy, though I do spell better than he did. Note how he misspelled satirical/comedy/suicides</span></div>

While he worked at the Riverside Community College Library, Ross Sullivan stood out, wearing military fatigues, military boots but appeared shy and withdrawn. He didn't fit in with any groups and had no real friends. After the murder of Cheri Jo Bates on October 30, 1966, Ross disappeared for a few days, when he came back to work, he was wearing normal college clothes. This prompted one of the library staff to write this narrative. about why they suspected Ross. Note that Ross owned a VW Bug, just like Cheri Jo Bates. Someone sabotaged her car by disconnecting her distributor while she was in the library. When she came out of the library at 9 PM on Sunday, she tried to start her car and couldn't, per the assailant's plan. He probably offered to help her, escorting her to his car, that is when he struck. She was murdered in an alley between two empty buildings/former homes used by the library for overflow books. A watch with a broken wrist band was found on the ground near the site of the attack.</span></div>

The famous Zodiac 340 Cipher which has stumped the Police, FBI, British Intelligence, Interpol and CIA for over 50 years. One proposed solution shows an elegant simplicity, letters were both encoded and not if used twice in the same word. Also, it appears that the cipher is divided in 1/2, with two different systems of encoding each half. Also, an irony, he wasn't the best speller and that made his ciphers much harder to decode. A great documentary series, The History Channel's Hunt for the Zodiac Killer. </span></div>

It is believed that the 340 Cipher has been solved, encoding with elegant simplicity, the characters were changed and offset diagonally, aided by spelling errors of Zodiac.</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-1oQLPRE21o" width="320" youtube-src-id="-1oQLPRE21o"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Zodiac's 340 Cipher BRILLIANT in its simplicity and elegance</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1hXFh9UHn8PucgyoK_ANt--ug5OegHdrP_AJgBX00lgRMIG1GRPeOjxasnFMpW58WbwEit_NOg7P7NT8JhoLvw8fhRYofquwRkKPKww-cKJk9KP3sMy1UaBVYkV-2DvLC44wGkRJZ_8g2JZvcBF8jdTSaaOaYITN677-g7aTkPY1eVF7WTcbmH0J2iQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="799" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1hXFh9UHn8PucgyoK_ANt--ug5OegHdrP_AJgBX00lgRMIG1GRPeOjxasnFMpW58WbwEit_NOg7P7NT8JhoLvw8fhRYofquwRkKPKww-cKJk9KP3sMy1UaBVYkV-2DvLC44wGkRJZ_8g2JZvcBF8jdTSaaOaYITN677-g7aTkPY1eVF7WTcbmH0J2iQ=w312-h400" width="312" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><br /><b>340 Cipher Solution:</b></div>

San Francisco Detective David Toschi was the model for Steve McQueen's Frank Bullitt in Bullitt (1968) and Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry (1971). Toschi was senior detective on scene after Graduate Student and Cab Driver Paul Stine was killed. </span></div>

He and Armstrong had been on call all week and had already worked three murders, including one the night before.

Steve had grown up poor and got into some trouble as a kid, even serving a stint in the Boy's Republic, a progressive reform school, but the two hit it off and took a liking to each other immediately. McQueen copied Toschi's shoulder holster and quick draw for the movie. Toschi served as liaison for SFPD while the film was being made. I have included a biography of Steve on my blog, on the middle of this page: <a href="https://briankeithohara.blogspot.com/2014/11/lamar-potts-honest-georgia-sheriff-and.html">https://briankeithohara.blogspot.com/2014/11/lamar-potts-honest-georgia-sheriff-and.html</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTLnzyH0wekCPaw0YqTNqMvuTCRrIzAZseJtmMuh7pt4CDkEyWPe-ohqDzd9UhdDFEpDefN7BwAzpAQrhF-5WwX6cYzAwFvUfpgoxtZ-HAV6XbR5nODr67iJcmMBRrc5RKoyowQKta_yL6G4sb6-a4_a1JwNKR0aY0wHA7ZPuqyrRCUM9rAm0u-hO1XQ" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="174" data-original-width="250" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTLnzyH0wekCPaw0YqTNqMvuTCRrIzAZseJtmMuh7pt4CDkEyWPe-ohqDzd9UhdDFEpDefN7BwAzpAQrhF-5WwX6cYzAwFvUfpgoxtZ-HAV6XbR5nODr67iJcmMBRrc5RKoyowQKta_yL6G4sb6-a4_a1JwNKR0aY0wHA7ZPuqyrRCUM9rAm0u-hO1XQ=w400-h279" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">“I was exhausted,” says Toschi. “I went to bed around 8 o’clock.

<b><span style="font-size: medium;">Toschi also served as a model for Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry movies. However, Toschi and Clint never became particularly friendly, Toschi even walked out of Dirty Harry, because it was too close to reality, the Scorpio Killer was far too closely modeled on the Zodiac Case and Toschi thought that was unacceptable when it was based on a real crime which had not been solved. </span></b></div>

Zodiac used Gilbert and Sullivan Mikado references in his letters. On the night Paul Stine picked up his fatal fare at Geary and Mason, the Mikado was playing at the Orpheum Theater, 1192 Market Street in the San Francisco Theatre District about a mile from Geary and Mason. Roger Pierson of the Lamplighters Troop recalls a tall, robust young man who would come to Mikado performances dressed as the Grand High Executioner a character in the play. He said the man gave off an unsettling vibe to members of the troop at the meet and greets following their performances/ Roger reckons this happened around 1969.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">Three teenagers on the 3rd Floor of this home at the corner of Cherry and Washington heard a scuffle and gunshot, looked down on the murder as it occurred and called police. They saw the perpetrator wipe the cab down for fingerprints, though he missed one, and do something to the body, we know now that he was cutting part of Paul's shirt to send with his next message to the San Francisco Chronicle, Though on the 3rd story and fairly far away, they described the perpetrator as a <b>white male, 25 to 30 years old, 5'8" to 5'9", stocky build, reddish-brown hair worn in a crew cut, heavy-rimmed glasses and dark clothing</b>. They last saw him casually walking north on Cherry Street. Unfortunately,<b> the police dispatcher mistakenly described the suspect as being a black male adult</b>. Police approaching the scene, patrolmen Donald Fouke and Eric Zelms stopped and questioned a white man briefly, taking note of the 6' tall WHITE man with a robust build, walking away from the crime scene on Jackson Street which is parallel to the Presidio, a large Park at the end of Washington Street. Because he was walking casually, at a slow, lumbering pace and seemed unconcerned with their questioning, they let him go, they were after all looking for a black man, and proceeded to Washington and Cherry. Later SFPD Detective David Toschi would find out from the officers involved about the incident. Toschi determined that these officers had probably spoken to Zodiac.</span></div>

Robert Graysmith wrote the most famous Zodiac book, which in turn served as the premise for the EXCELLENT movie Zodiac (2007), starring brilliant performances by Mark Ruffalo as Toschi, Robert Downey Jr. as Sagacious and loquacious Reporter Paul Avery and Jake Gyllenhaal as San Francisco Editorial Cartoonist Robert Graysmith. Zodiac Director and Marin County native David Fincher was close friends with Jennifer Aniston's husband at the time Brad Pitt. Jennifer is the one who suggested Ruffalo and Gyllenhaal for their roles. </span></div>

Graysmith believed the most viable suspect was Arthur Leigh Allen, a small time crook and pervert. But it should be noted, no substantive proof ever turned up to support Graysmith's case against him. He was in the right place for the San Francisco murders living very near Geary and Mason at the time of the Stine Murder.and having lived in Riverside California, when Cheri Jo Bates was killed. </span></div>

David Fincher wasn't allowed to film Zodiac's attack on Paul Stine at Washington and Cherry Street because of resident's disapproval, they were afraid filming would hurt real estate values and frighten children who live there now. That scene was shot entirely on a sound stage. They did shoot the Lake Berryessa attack on site, but had to plant two full grown Oak Trees, since the original trees died long ago after several years of drought. </span></div>

Intrepid and dogged Reporter Dave Peterson of the Vallejo Times-Herald took a special interest in Ross Sullivan and wrote Riverside Police to get as much information about Ross's life in Riverside. He was the lead reporter on Farady-Jensen and Ferrin-Mageau attacks. He would track the case the rest of his life. He came to disagree with Robert Graysmith. He believed Ross Sullivan was the #1 Suspect. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
He was particularly intrigued by Ross's interest in cryptography. He was also in communication with Dave Toschi SFPD. It turns out that his suspicion that Ross Sullivan was the most likely suspect, may have been 100% right all along. </span></div>

His mom was mentally ill too, she was even institutionalized several times during his childhood. I remember an interview with his Dad. He took responsibility for Jeff. Like a lot of men, he dealt with a quarrelsome and troublesome marriage and his wife's mental illness by burying himself in his work, always looking for excuses to take business trips, hardly ever coming home or spending time with his wife or kids. He spoke about warning signs that Jeff was in trouble as early as 10-years-old that he either ignored or was oblivious to. Though it will be little comfort to the families of Jeff's victims, it is a road map as to what not to do. I think his message should resonate with every parent. His father found out that he had been repeatedly molested by a neighbor starting at about 8-years-old, his mom's mental illness only made a bad situation worse. His father said he noticed his behavior became odd after that, but nothing clinical. Jeff's Dad said he originally thought he would grow out of it. But as he spent less and less time at home, he didn't see Jeff's mental health decline. Later his grandmother would report she sensed something was very wrong when he lived with her after the divorce, but when he got his own apartment, everyone lost touch with him and his condition. You have to remember no DA/Judge/Police Psychologist was going to judge Jeff insane or send him to a mental health facility, he was going to prison, because his crimes were such horrific atrocities. His father told of multiple incidents when Jeff, who had very few friends, would do things like crash multiple class photos for groups he did not belong, requiring the photos to be doctored. His Dad worried that he inherited his mom's mental illness.

Then the strangest thing happened, Nikolas put a Trump MAGA hat on his mom's urn and took a photo of it to make a statement.

Lucille Ball was a very popular second banana in Hollywood during the 1930's and early 1940's, but she was getting older, by 1940 though she was still beautiful, but she was also 30 years old. Hollywood was never known to allow women to age gracefully, most older actresses quickly found themselves on the unemployment line. Lucy chose to dye her brownish blonde hair red with henna hair dye, hoping it would make her stand out. It worked, helped mightily by Lucy's can-do attitude, Lucy was willing to do anything for a laugh, even willing to make a total fool of herself. Where other actresses would worry about their dignity and reputation, Lucy only cared about laughs, being a comedian was a role which was a natural fit for her. Studios began turning to her for comedies because of her cooperative, low maintenance persona and reasonable salary demands. Lucy cared more about having a job that finagling a huge salary or the perks that many other stars demanded. She wanted to work and was always willing to meet the studio half-way. Directors loved her because she would do anything they asked no matter how demeaning or dangerous it was.<br />

<b>Lucy's life story began with a horrible accident at age 14. </b><br />
<br />
In her memoir, Love Lucy, Ball writes that on July 4, 1927, her grandfather, “in a holiday mood, came home from work on the trolley with a mysterious object wrapped in brown paper. It was a birthday present for Lucille Ball’s brother, Freddy, who was about to turn 12—a real .22-caliber rifle.” Despite Freddy’s excitement, Ball’s father told him he couldn’t shoot the gun until the next day, after he showed him how. True to his promise, Ball’s father “set up a tin-can target in our backyard and then in his usual meticulous, careful way explained all about the gun.”<br />
Next door to the Balls lived an eight-year-old boy, Warner Erickson, who Ball writes had a habit of stopping by uninvited. He did so on this day. Freddy’s “little girlfriend” Johanna took a turn with the gun, and just as she was aiming at a tin can, Warner’s mother called out his name from their home. “The gun went off,” Ball writes, “and Warner fell spread-eagled to the ground, into the lilac bushes.” Ball continues:
“The next few days were a kind of nightmare as we all hung on to bulletins from the hospital. Then we learned the awful news: a .22-caliber bullet is very small, but by fantastic bad luck, the bullet passed right through Warner’s spine, severing the cord.”
While Ball’s grandfather “would have paid the Freddy’s medical bills,” the Erickson family opted for a lawsuit and won, effectively taking Ball’s grandfather’s life: “They took our house, the furnishings that Lucille Ball’s mother, DeDe, had bought so laboriously on time, week after week, the insurance—everything. My grandfather never worked again. The heart went out of him. It ruined Celoron for us; it destroyed our life together there.” <b>Huffington Post</b><br />

In 1940 Lucy was a comedic success and much in demand. She was appearing in an RKO Studios movie, Too Many Girls(1940) with a young Cuban actor Desi Arnaz. Desi was most famous for being a drummer, guitarist, singer and protege of Band Leader Xavier Cugat. Eventually, Desi struck out on his own. He created his own orchestra and invented the Conga Line dance, which became a huge sensation in 1940, which led to his acting career. Though plagued by a thick Cuban accent, Desi had a great friendly personality and a lot of musical talent, which made his band one of the hottest in America.<br />

<br />
Desi too faced troubled times. His father, Desi II, was a liberal reformer elected mayor of Cuba's vacation resort town of Santiago de Cuba while in his 30's. Desi II was very popular and won by a landslide. The family were descendants of the founder of the Bicardi Rum and quite well off. In 1932, Colonel Batista and his corrupt cronies began a military coup against the liberal Cuban government, deposing President Gerardo Machado in August 1933. Desi's Dad was arrested, while his family fled to Miami with only the clothes on their back. 15-year-old Desi was forced to work doing menial tasks, including cleaning out bird cages and manual labor. His father was eventually released and joined his family, eventually taking Pharmacist courses in Atlanta Georgia. As Desi said, you can only truly appreciate success and wealth when you either already lost it or rose from the depths of poverty, Desi did both. <b>Desi with his Dad and son, Desi Arnaz IV </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Desi met Lucy while filming Too Many Girls, fell in love and got married. Lucy decided to branch out of movies as she got older, taking a starring role in a radio show, My Favorite Husband in 1948. The show was a lucrative success. At the same time Lucy and Desi's marriage was strained by their volatile personalities and the fact that Desi and his orchestra were on the road for over 40 weeks a year. With the birth of television, CBS decided to bring their show My Favorite Husband to TV. Lucy agreed, with only one condition, Desi be cast as her husband, replacing the radio show's original white Middle West Anglo Saxon Banker with Desi's Cuban Band Leader, Ricky Ricardo. At first, CBS was resistant, finally, the network gave in after Desi created a Vaudeville Act and took it on the road to show that America would accept a red headed comedian married to a Cuban Band Leader. It was a smash success and <b>I Love Lucy</b> was born.<br />
<br />
Did you know that Desi Arnaz's father was a Doctor? Did you know that he was the Mayor of Santiago de Cuba and considered a possible future President of Cuba?<br />

Few people know today that Desi Arnaz is considered a brilliant businessman. It all started with his negotiations for the I Love Lucy Show. Instead of limiting himself to arguing over star salaries, Desi said he and Lucy would produce the show themselves. Next, he proposed filming the show on 35 mm film. No one appreciated the fact that Desi was about to invent the re-run, the live audience 3 Camera TV show with famed Cinematographer Karl Freund(DRACULA), Lucy always performed best when in front of a live audience and TV Syndication. This would make Lucy and Desi the richest performers on TV for years to come. The CBS Network and its executives and "bean counter accountants" balked at the cost, about $5,000 a week. Desi said he and Lucy would take a pay cut to offset the cost, if he and Lucy retained rights to the show after its initial broadcast on CBS. Many business schools teach Desi's strategy as among the most brilliant in business history. By 1957, Lucy and Desi were multi-millionaire and were able to buy RKO STUDIOS AND CREATE DESILU STUDIOS, making themselves Hollywood Moguls equal to Louis B. Mayer and Warner Brothers.<div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWuXF_pBwb0suqRsl4mn1n7qlMH1XgHwZUuch74MOFKFyvHeopEU3MGIhMlg6mZvKfccKzqd3lZSYepzp7weMds6F0bQq9pOXNKSF-k1EmSLK1VxdsUC3Qa2AkgrSNYWAyhjn0NOeLuVlc/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="499" data-original-width="428" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWuXF_pBwb0suqRsl4mn1n7qlMH1XgHwZUuch74MOFKFyvHeopEU3MGIhMlg6mZvKfccKzqd3lZSYepzp7weMds6F0bQq9pOXNKSF-k1EmSLK1VxdsUC3Qa2AkgrSNYWAyhjn0NOeLuVlc/w343-h400/image.png" width="343" /></a></div><br /><br /></div>

Lucille Ball is the reason we have 'Star Trek' — here's what happened
Meryl Gottlieb Jul. 8, 2016, 3:58 PM Business Insider<br />
<br />
The comedy icon's company, Desilu Productions, was responsible for Gene Roddenberry's original "Star Trek" series.
Desilu was one of the largest independent production companies in Hollywood and of course was the driving force behind Ball's star-making vehicle "I Love Lucy," which ran from 1951 to 1957.
But it was also responsible for "The Andy Griffith Show," "The Untouchables," "The Dick Van Dyke Show," and more.
Ball and then-husband and eventual "I Love Lucy" costar Desi Arnaz formed Desilu in 1950. Ball made most of all of the creative choices while Arnaz handled the business. The two worked as partners for years until they divorced in 1960, and Ball purchased Arnaz's share of the company in 1962.
Ball was the head of a major studio, and thus one of the most powerful women in Hollywood at the time.
When the landmark "The Untouchables" ended its run in 1963, Desilu desperately needed another big hit. Herbert Solow, who was hired to find projects for the studio, brought Ball two proposals: one for Roddenberry's "Star Trek" and another for "Mission: Impossible."
It was clear that the "Star Trek" pilot would be expensive to film, but Ball — who actually believed the series was about traveling USO performers — overruled her board of directors and got the pilot produced.
The pilot, titled "The Cage," famously flopped. However, NBC pulled an unlikely move and ordered a second pilot, which came to be called "Where No Man Has Gone Before," only retained Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock from the first pilot, and became the show it is known as today. Ball agreed to finance this re-shoot, again over the preferences of her board of directors.
So Ball is the one who let "Star Trek" live long and prosper. Thanks, Lucy.<br />

Lucy bought Desi out when they got divorced in 1960, after 20 years of marriage. Lucy showed she was as brilliant a business woman in her own right, when, against the advice of all of her executives and friends, she green-lighted to two shows no one thought could be made, much less had any chance of being successful, but former LAPD officer Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek knew the truth and openly admitted, Lucy was the mother of Star Trek, which he intended to be as a show about space which would address topical political and social issues. But Roddenberry disguised it as a "Wagon Train" in Space, after a currently popular Western. And she green-lighted a spy saga known as Mission Impossible. Which portrayed US Spies doing the impossible to defeat our enemies and save our friends. For TV it was never a better time and all thanks to Lucy and Desi. </div>

When I was 9-years-old I fell in love with a TV Show called Star Trek. I was an original Trekkie. Another Trekkie, Brian Sharples, and I went to East Valley Elementary School in Marietta, Georgia. Sometime later when we were transferred to Sedalia Park Elementary School. At some point we heard that NBC was thinking of canceling Star Trek, so we jumped into action. We created and carried petitions around school, using every tool at our disposal to get kids to sign, so we could keep our favorite show on the air. <b>Brian Keith O'Hara</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Here is a photo of a young William Frawley, Fred Mertz. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjus8byjZ2dBm7bI5nFbZ_IaqrQIvwEf0nyzbbAXKnRHID-YJjgRfFN1Kf5jtUqrWpgXb5Wncd1PsrZrAfqeCCuhDodjxU_2B_VRuTVXgFMJ_UOHAX-UPSXciAtIDbKAf9HNh_h-McRSRMA/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="358" data-original-width="236" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjus8byjZ2dBm7bI5nFbZ_IaqrQIvwEf0nyzbbAXKnRHID-YJjgRfFN1Kf5jtUqrWpgXb5Wncd1PsrZrAfqeCCuhDodjxU_2B_VRuTVXgFMJ_UOHAX-UPSXciAtIDbKAf9HNh_h-McRSRMA/w263-h400/image.png" width="263" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT6TJYrjz3BIUwn8Y8mghqJXCcONjStdHt8lGM_iQ4Iw-WVzxHA5dF0ewrPcS9vtU3kHsJ61FR1-NHjzyTabon5N9iS4VGt6VDNwlMmOKcmqQcLmHYY5jnGqhogyWbiNwkyFZh7BNlfd1V/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="380" data-original-width="380" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT6TJYrjz3BIUwn8Y8mghqJXCcONjStdHt8lGM_iQ4Iw-WVzxHA5dF0ewrPcS9vtU3kHsJ61FR1-NHjzyTabon5N9iS4VGt6VDNwlMmOKcmqQcLmHYY5jnGqhogyWbiNwkyFZh7BNlfd1V/w400-h400/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">William "Bill" Frawley, February 26, 1887 – March 3, 1966, was Irish Catholic and a New York Yankees fan. He began life working for the railroad and as a court reporter. In High School and after graduation he appeared in plays as an extra and later a featured player to make extra money. By the 1920's he was appearing in Vaudeville. By the 1930's and 1940's he gravitated to Hollywood where he became a steady character actor, gruff, hard drinking Irish American. By the late 1940's acting roles became scarce and Bill earned a reputation for drinking too much. He heard about I Love Lucy and the need for a gruff landlord, Fred Mertz. Bill went to meet Desi, who liked Bill immediately. Desi decided he would be perfect for the Ricardo's landlord. But Desi had heard the drinking stories about Bill too. He told Bill, if he got the role, he would be on the three strike plan. Be unable to perform once, a warning, twice, suspension and three times, you'll be fired. Bill never got the first warning, always keeping his drinking under control for the next 9 years when I Love Lucy finally went off the air, including its later incarnation as the Lucy and Desi Comedy Hour. Though there are reports that in some episodes you will see Bill keep his hands in his coat pockets. He would get alcohol withdrawal shakes and hide them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The biggest problem Bill had was with Vivian Vance. Bill detected a coolness from co-star Vivian Vance. Then one day he heard her talking to Lucy about him, echoing many of her character's on screen character Ethel Mertz's description of Fred Mertz as an old goat. Vivian resented having to portray being married to a man who was 20 years older than she was. Bill's feelings were hurt and angry that she would say that to Lucy and put his job at risk. He never forgave her. But Desi grew to love Bill and his gruff, endearing manner. They became real friends and his job was NEVER in danger. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Few people know that there was one strange clause in Bill's contract, at his insistence. Bill demanded time off any time his beloved New York Yankees made it to the World Series. Desi loved the NY Yankees too, but knew with the retirement of Yankee Hero Joe DiMaggio in 1951, the same year I Love Lucy went on the air, there was little chance of a hitch. The Yankees had appeared in the 1941, 1942, 1943, 1947, 1949 and 1950 with Joe DiMaggio. Everyone figured it would take a while to rebuild the team without him. WRONG! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In 1951, the Yankees scouts had stumbled across a kid from Oklahoma named Mickey Mantle, who would turn out one of the best home run hitters of all time. He helped the Yankees make it to the World Series in 1951, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1960. The NY Yankees won five World Series with Joe DiMaggio in the 1940's, they would win 5 World Series thanks to Mickey Mantle: 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956 and 1958. Desi laughed, hoisted on his own petard, but Bill only had to be written out of two of the series episodes. At that time, TV Shows made 39 episodes a year. In 1960, New York acquired Roger Maris who promptly hit 61 home runs and the Yankees Murderers Row was back. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrlYwgYsGc1-b0nBsw9P-tysO4qLI3hqMh9hdcsmSJJDwutMGj5IHVaEXgjN2rqVvnz9Pw-zzO02Ctw4olf8XHb-y7GBKDzyS2IH5uF6vEyYkJxFST2iVWrlEH_4-vxN2NQF3mbQVpssQD/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="370" data-original-width="311" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrlYwgYsGc1-b0nBsw9P-tysO4qLI3hqMh9hdcsmSJJDwutMGj5IHVaEXgjN2rqVvnz9Pw-zzO02Ctw4olf8XHb-y7GBKDzyS2IH5uF6vEyYkJxFST2iVWrlEH_4-vxN2NQF3mbQVpssQD/" width="202" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Bill was unemployed again, with Desi and Lucy's divorce and ending their show. But Desi looked out for his friends. Desi heard about a show producer Don Fedderson was making: My Three Sons. He suggested his pal Bill Frawley portray Uncle "Bub" another gruff curmudgeon, who looked out for Fred McMurray's three sons while Dad was at work. Even though Bill might have been a little to old to work as a regular in a series, he never let the show down. Desi is rumored to have come up with a strategy to keep Bill in line. He told Fedderson to have the kids go to lunch with Bill every day, sometimes with their parents/guardians, prompting Bill to be on his best behavior. Chip, Stanley Livingston, told his real life younger brother, Ernie, Barry Livingston, that they were counted on to keep Bill sober.

Bill did curse like a sailor and the boys loved it, was more than a little bawdy and offered unedited opinions about politics and politicians, which the boys found amusing and sometimes hilarious.

Desi loved the US. After fleeing Cuba with his family, after VICIOUS, CORRUPT General Batista's 1933 Military Coup, the Arnazes arrived in Miami without any money. They had been forced to leave their father in prison. After several months, Desi's father joined them. Desi's father worked full time and went to college at night earning his doctor's degree. Teenager Desi worked cleaning bird cages after school and playing guitar at night with local bands. Desi was a very good guitarist and eventually was hired by Latin Band Leader Xavier Cugat, future husband of singer Charo. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz's families supported VICIOUS dictator Batista. Desi's father, Dr. Desi Arnaz II was the popular liberal mayor Santiago de Cuba, Cuba's 2nd largest city. Dr. Arnaz was the youngest mayor in Cuba's history.

Sophie and Hans Scholl were college students in Bavaria in the early 1930's. When the Nazi's came to power in 1933, Sophie and Hans could have been like everybody else and gone along, but the two Lutheran kids heard a speech by German Catholic Bishop von Galen in defense of freedom of conscience. Already raised to believe in liberal ideas by their parents, these two young people were inspired to join other college students to campaign for free speech by handing out pamphlets. They formed a group called the White Rose, eventually they were arrested by the Nazi Gestapo for Treason, tried and executed. Below is a video of Sophie's interrogation. She shows grace and courage and no regrets. <br />
<br />
The White Rose group was motivated by ethical and moral considerations. They came from various religious backgrounds. Willi Graf and Katharina Schüddekopf were devout Catholics. Alexander Schmorell was an Orthodox Christian. Traute Lafrenz adhered to the concepts of anthroposophy, while Eugen Grimminger considered himself a Buddhist. Christoph Probst was baptized a Catholic only shortly before his execution. His father Hermann was nominally a Catholic, but also a private scholar of Eastern thought and wisdom. In their diaries and letters to friends, both Scholl siblings, nominally Lutherans, wrote about their reading of Christian Scholars, including Augustine of Hippo, Etienne Gilson, whose work on Medieval philosophy they discussed amongst other philosophical works within their network of friends. <br />

<br />
Since the conquest of Poland, 300,000 Jews have been murdered in this country in the most bestial way ... The German people slumber on in dull, stupid sleep and encourage.... Each wants to be exonerated of guilt, each one continues on his way with the most placid, calm conscience. But he cannot be exonerated; he is guilty, guilty, guilty!<br />
— 2nd leaflet of the White Rose.<br />
<br />
<br />
Why do you allow these men who are in power to rob you step by step, openly and in secret, of one domain of your rights after another, until one day nothing, nothing at all will be left but a mechanized state system presided over by criminals and drunks? Is your spirit already so crushed by abuse that you forget it is your right - or rather, your moral duty - to eliminate this system?<br />

Some people were listening.Hans Scholl as a member of the Hitler Youth, indoctrinated, but not swayed, he and his sister listened to Catholic Bishop von Galen who made a plea for freedom of conscience and became convinced that that was their mission in life. Heroes for the Ages.</span></div>

The Blessed Clemens August Graf von Galen (16 March 1878 – 22 March 1946) was a German count, Bishop of Münster, and cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. During World War II, Galen led Catholic protest against Nazi euthanasia and denounced Gestapo lawlessness and the persecution of the church. He was appointed a Cardinal by Pope Pius XII in 1946. He was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in 2005.<br />
<br />
As soon as World War II was over, Hitler and Himmler said their first goal was to wipe the Catholic Church off the face of the earth, but their first execution was going to be Bishop von Galen. Hitler told Himmler that he wanted to PERSONALLY GARROTE the Archbishop. They hated him because they couldn't silence him and he wouldn't stop attacking them, subtly sometimes, bluntly at others, but relentlessly at all times.</span><br />

The <b>guillotine</b> with which Sophie and her brother Hans were beheaded by the Nazi Gestapo. The usual punishment for Hitler's enemies was hanging. Nazi Judge Roland Freisler sent 100's to the gallows and Himmler's Einsatzgruppen under Adolf Eichmann needed to execute quickly and publicly to set examples, so shooting and hanging were the preferred methodology. It was also applied the July 14th Plot participants. But dissidents like the White Rose and internal German opposition like the Edelweiss Pirates and pacifists like Wandervogel were imprisoned for life or executed privately by beheading. One writer said this was done to terrorize the people for whom this penalty was set, in letters to family and friends, this would frighten would be followers. Though dead, their voices were never silenced. Sophie and Hans converted to Catholicism while awaiting execution, taking Last Rights, HEROES FOR THE AGES.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">President John "JFK" Kennedy and NYC Mayor and Eagle Scout Michael Bloomberg were Boy Scouts and attended Boy Scout Jamborees as adults, offering words of encouragement to all the boys there, the way it is supposed to be. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEpyUmNEh4ACcjjgVtl7stmEcJ-YAjs2VegzJsuZVF2cXEjv7GYc5Y4kfW7SOBfBvkx_DOzCa0lbSwjLSRQJni4x35G5zF3wAQKozOobMDNQ6swqnVLJMreo2GaiaZaqqggkFtDvr6jBvy/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1666" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEpyUmNEh4ACcjjgVtl7stmEcJ-YAjs2VegzJsuZVF2cXEjv7GYc5Y4kfW7SOBfBvkx_DOzCa0lbSwjLSRQJni4x35G5zF3wAQKozOobMDNQ6swqnVLJMreo2GaiaZaqqggkFtDvr6jBvy/" width="295" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihECKdbwNXw4QTHDPUuLBaapAwKle85ad60nVZ6-7AqgQF_B76sJPwJVQd5KLRogRJjRw8o26oK5snjaPzfa_bs7GJa97sCtpj9grHKvFXReC8wn3cQwFvUBc2suwsn4qq2aWfsCxPxqNC/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="343" data-original-width="640" height="172" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihECKdbwNXw4QTHDPUuLBaapAwKle85ad60nVZ6-7AqgQF_B76sJPwJVQd5KLRogRJjRw8o26oK5snjaPzfa_bs7GJa97sCtpj9grHKvFXReC8wn3cQwFvUBc2suwsn4qq2aWfsCxPxqNC/" width="320" /></a></div></span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;">Another Hero for the Ages, 14-year-old Boy Scout Helmuth Hubener </span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRlsNBPFZ5EVUHSDHshPqQWWMmvzZmg6OHJewSPvaiquqZSxMt4iCZdJtN0qwOFsFGqr3q4OR90Jy6wsagt8QNMoGYOneRVEPVeEPD_jRWVNFgvdPGxqD7O48E69xhBJjfPtr_3GtcqK-1/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="712" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRlsNBPFZ5EVUHSDHshPqQWWMmvzZmg6OHJewSPvaiquqZSxMt4iCZdJtN0qwOFsFGqr3q4OR90Jy6wsagt8QNMoGYOneRVEPVeEPD_jRWVNFgvdPGxqD7O48E69xhBJjfPtr_3GtcqK-1/w282-h400/image.png" width="282" /></a></div></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Helmuth Hubener (January 8, 1925 - October 27, 1942) was a 14-year-old Boy Scout in Germany, when the Nazis made membership in the Hitler Youth mandatory for all boys 10-years-old and older, Hubener refused to quit the Boy Scouts or join the Hitler Youth. He also began hand typing Freedom of Speech pamphlets including copying White Rose Movement pamphlets and BBC Broadcasts. Helmuth was tracked down as the typist, arrested and thrown into a concentration camp when he was 14-years-old. Helmuth's Mormon parents DISOWNED him, his stepfather was a leading Nazi, and His Mormon Church immediately EXCOMMUNICATED him and his parents didn't even claim his body after he was executed/BEHEADED by the Nazi Gestapo. Given a chance to retract the pamphlets and join the Hitler Jugend, Helmuth steadfastly and unapologetically refused. Helmuth Hubener is a Hero for the ages. Helmuth Hubener was beheaded by the Gestapo on October 27, 1942 at the age of 17. Here is a photo of Helmuth shortly before his execution, then with fellow scouts, in the center, flanked by Rudolf "Rudi" Wobbe (left) and Karl-Heinz Schnibbe (right). All three boys were arrested by the Nazi GESTAPO, Helmuth Hubener was beheaded, his two friends were sentenced to 5 years at hard labor. Upon entering prison they never saw each other again. Helmuth's prison photo taken immediately before his execution in 1942.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJEFV3Qx6QP7uKBcrj3AZApKYgfCgbTM9RUcsTPjtbLM210mhRKeomfB3Imznl_kR3WQfWFw6pS7XgW9t0DUz2aYvJL9nonrpKyj-E4-ZXTvzzuUJUjvDZJaDFdpbZ-eNRCULKp60_4s80/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="277" data-original-width="640" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJEFV3Qx6QP7uKBcrj3AZApKYgfCgbTM9RUcsTPjtbLM210mhRKeomfB3Imznl_kR3WQfWFw6pS7XgW9t0DUz2aYvJL9nonrpKyj-E4-ZXTvzzuUJUjvDZJaDFdpbZ-eNRCULKp60_4s80/w400-h174/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUWSChVeqGo_t_hYBU9pjcCxAaVr0YDKezX67zm4bPKaDrZzixEa7alXHQO-0FjFddbWE_JVtVBHFLYoX2wzeD9WK2hmWgS1IxPBKaRpslJrXXjig4iHOwOWQ41iOBH6nu5I7Kmd_uDhd/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="365" data-original-width="273" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUWSChVeqGo_t_hYBU9pjcCxAaVr0YDKezX67zm4bPKaDrZzixEa7alXHQO-0FjFddbWE_JVtVBHFLYoX2wzeD9WK2hmWgS1IxPBKaRpslJrXXjig4iHOwOWQ41iOBH6nu5I7Kmd_uDhd/w300-h400/image.png" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">St. George's Mormon Church, where Helmuth's Nazi Official Father was a Deacon</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCNm73FF9VWMp4gi_ZY-32yoXXBRANhqPoPHxCgSyw2_FSFX2I1klnpYdQDFHymKzCBkzBfGlincSIK7d0Am1M6FnFtVlerpdLhXt8wHmpnxRhMdxlRJSMw3qTnZGxtNE-EF6Fl71uM6gJ/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="680" data-original-width="1025" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCNm73FF9VWMp4gi_ZY-32yoXXBRANhqPoPHxCgSyw2_FSFX2I1klnpYdQDFHymKzCBkzBfGlincSIK7d0Am1M6FnFtVlerpdLhXt8wHmpnxRhMdxlRJSMw3qTnZGxtNE-EF6Fl71uM6gJ/w400-h265/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Statement by an adult congregant at Helmuth's Church during the Gestapo investigation of Helmuth's free speech pamphlets.</b></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I rang the bell and the door opened automatically. The hallway was dark and there was nobody there. Suddenly, I heard a voice over the loudspeaker: “Come in. Take three steps forward!” which I did. The door closed behind me and I stood in the dark. Then a light went on and I saw a man sitting there; he took my papers. He wrote my name in a book, then handed me a piece of paper with a number on it and told me, “Sit on the chair with this number on it and wait until you are called. If you walk around or try to look into other rooms, you are breaking the law.” I went upstairs to the next floor and sat on the chair with the assigned number. I had not been waiting long when the door next to me opened and I was ordered to enter and take a seat. Until that moment, I had seen nobody but the man at the entry and all doors had opened and closed automatically. The building was like a mausoleum and I couldn’t hear anything. . . . It was creepy and I have to admit that my knees were shaking. I entered the room and it was empty except for two chairs and a table between them—that was the extent of the furnishings. A few files and a telephone were on the table. An official about thirty years old ordered me to sit down. I told him that while sitting in the hall I have been more afraid than at any other time in my life. . . . I felt the presence of evil and knew that I was in a dangerous situation and could not escape. Before entering the room I had said (“screamed” would be a better word for it) a quick prayer to my Heavenly Father. I cried for help from the depths of my soul; no sound escaped my tongue. When I sat down, all fear left me and I was encompassed by total peace. . . . I knew that God had heard my prayer and that I was under His protection. I noticed that a higher power had taken control over my body and this feeling stayed with me for four days—the duration of my interrogation. There is no other way to explain it; there is no other way that I could have answered all of those questions honestly and quickly and to the satisfaction of the Gestapo. A friend of the three boys was brought in and questioned, this is his recollection of the interrogation.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9d9Bw-KoE3b8nwLLLKbSaLUMeej1wCzY2FAbo5-2E06hRejjadzoN9JB78yvINvMeqb-s7y27luqVvPqtp4CADhs0T0z-SlRGSEyDjeRWYGlx8YJBZqgk2dOhfnXWYSKw6ZRtYJX_nMto/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="610" data-original-width="912" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9d9Bw-KoE3b8nwLLLKbSaLUMeej1wCzY2FAbo5-2E06hRejjadzoN9JB78yvINvMeqb-s7y27luqVvPqtp4CADhs0T0z-SlRGSEyDjeRWYGlx8YJBZqgk2dOhfnXWYSKw6ZRtYJX_nMto/w400-h268/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit;">Helmuth's friend Rudi Wobbe's Nazi Identification Documents, which Identify him as a political prisoner.

All killed because they stood up for their parishioners. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: left;">The reason I am saying this is there are several videos on YouTube, which put a spin on Helmuth's death, which is not supported by the facts. Helmuth was alone, abandoned, by everyone except his two friends who were arrested with him. They received much lighter sentences, 5 years in a GESTAPO Concentration Camp/Prison. The never saw him again. All three boys were left naked to humiliate them then left in their freezing cold cells and beaten and tortured every day. Sadism by guards was expected in Nazi Germany. I remember Sophie and Hans Scholl and White Rose Activists were defended and loved by their families and friends and welcomed into the Catholic Church after their conversion, even as they faced execution. The Catholic, Orthodox and Lutheran churches and the families of the White Rose victims, Sophie and Hans included, asked for their children's bodies back so they could be buried near their home, among the people who loved them. They never waivered in their support.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Sophie and Hans Scholl's graves and tombstones, in their ancestral home of Bavaria.

Soldiers are taught to kill without guilt or remorse. In the 1970's, Dozier became integrated and black children learned first hand about torture/murder.

Only question, was Thomas Curry's body planted at the bottom of the trestle to cover-up his torture/murder by Dozier guards or was the whole story made up? </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;">Thomas Curry, 15/16-years-old, had gone to visit family in Florida in 1925. His mom and dad were from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Thomas had been arrested for hitchhiking to see his grandparents in Miami and was sent to Dozier. A few weeks later he was reported as a runaway, at which point he/disappeared. Days later his body was reported to have been found in the local paper, from information provided in a statement from Dozier. They described finding his body in a creek at the bottom of a railroad trestle. Records at the facility, indicate he fell off a railroad bridge possibly when a train came. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;">His family asked for his body to be shipped to them. They received Thomas's body in a wooden casket and a shipping container, after paying for the casket and shipping costs. The wooden casket was tightly sealed with long screws. I wonder if they advised Thomas's family that his body had started to rot, since it was days before it was found in the boiling hot Florida sun and since no one offered to pay for embalming as his body was decaying, to make sure no one would open his casket and examine Thomas's body. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;">I imagine this was done because a family might request an HONEST Medical Examiner like NYC's Milton Halpern or Pennsylvania's Cyril Wecht would find evidence of rape, torture or murder if they conducted an autopsy.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw9SFJZhO6Vr_1APlnw3P-q_BbzPQ8PBTVwdZeGWtyRgY9HGtUdAa-jfUbMb-Zodpe8MDD9fnxZoJvUEs9ijRKyFB0p7vUJ4ktDpwki76fK12OIsBbInWAVaC6kB4u68MJXshNADJnFPle/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="797" data-original-width="1200" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw9SFJZhO6Vr_1APlnw3P-q_BbzPQ8PBTVwdZeGWtyRgY9HGtUdAa-jfUbMb-Zodpe8MDD9fnxZoJvUEs9ijRKyFB0p7vUJ4ktDpwki76fK12OIsBbInWAVaC6kB4u68MJXshNADJnFPle/w400-h266/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;">Questions arose during the Dozier 2009 investigation about all the boys reported to have died there, Thomas's body had a paper trail and cause of death, so a team of forensic scientists was sent to Philadelphia to dig up the body of Thomas Curry and perform an autopsy to verify he fell from a railroad bridge. In the meantime, Thomas' death certificate was found, which indicated he suffered multiple severe blows to the head, with a handwritten note in pencil and apparently added later, "Fell from RR Bridge." Falling from a 75 foot rail road bridge should have broken several bones in Thomas's body but probably would NOT have been limited to MULTIPLE crushing blows to his head, while a horrific beating might. When Dozier investigators dug Thomas's casket up in Philadelphia, PA, they and the press were in for a shock, after opening Thomas's wooden casket they found only wooden planks and rocks, there was NO body. </span></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;">I have no doubt that "pro-life" Evangelical "christian" Guards took special enjoyment from torturing/sexually abusing the Irish Catholic Yankee 15-year-old boy. I am surprised they let him live that long.</span></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The bodies of boys were never returned to their families if they had been subjected to abuse, to hide their child's beatings, torture, sexual abuse and murder.</span> Dozier investigators report that they have not found Thomas Curry's real grave yet, lending credence to the WhiteHouseBoys claim that the number of tortured/murdered boys buried at Dozier could have been 130 or more. </span></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, it must be taken into account, between 75 and 102 boys' bodies found inside Dozier grounds, we know some tortured/murdered boys' bodies were buried offsite, while other boys' bodies were shipped back to their families when estimating the number of murder victims at Dozier. But that isn't the end of the story...</span></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">About 200 boys are reported to have run away from Dozier Reform School for Boys and never recaptured. It is now believed that many of these were murdered by police officers/guards/staff at the facility, buried in the swamps off campus or fed to alligators. Worse yet, we know staff doctored and falsified records. There could be more boys than this total. </span></div><div style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">One 11-year-old boy got up to pee after lights out and walked in on an adult staff member getting oral sex from a 12-year-old boy. He woke up a boy who slept next to him and told him what he had seen. The next day the boy who witnessed the sexual abuse, was reported to have "run away," but in all probability was murdered, then either buried anonymously in the swamps surrounding Dozier or chopped up and fed to the alligators which inhabit those same swamps. It was, after all, the Evangelical Bible Belt.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXI20eerya1AB30Pb2oGaRxYNhgvt14VrEcFkRNpn8pzhOTy30OMEh_QLBhiYIF4U5UJZoye7CB36aZiGotsGWdXH22x14fnB9DsmPm1XOwl7nVVD9-MTLvTDRto3uHvaV9lE6c-52a-DxGF4KNOa44kl-raSWwY3GfZaJTyZP8bTmyjb0Z_1QNBBfsw/s521/Dozier%20Gregory%20Sampson%20Dozier.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="521" data-original-width="475" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXI20eerya1AB30Pb2oGaRxYNhgvt14VrEcFkRNpn8pzhOTy30OMEh_QLBhiYIF4U5UJZoye7CB36aZiGotsGWdXH22x14fnB9DsmPm1XOwl7nVVD9-MTLvTDRto3uHvaV9lE6c-52a-DxGF4KNOa44kl-raSWwY3GfZaJTyZP8bTmyjb0Z_1QNBBfsw/w365-h400/Dozier%20Gregory%20Sampson%20Dozier.JPG" width="365" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">The last time Gregory Sampson's family visited him at Dozier, he was in a wheel chair, bruised, obviously in pain, and wearing an eye patch. He wouldn't say what happened to him, he was in "living" terror of the guards. In a few days he would disappear. His body has never been found and returned to his family. Believe what you wish, but I believe Gregory had earned the wrath of guards who tortured him, eventually they would murder him. And they would never pay for what they did. His family still is haunted by all that he must have gone thru, especially learning of the beatings, torture, slavery, rape and murder going on at Dozier. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfPsd-V_3iEOt_QKNqxr3GiqQhljgWuZ-AVLrhOGqviC5A9g12kX1bZG4RvGpViqEOlrenWWAimiH8L3SMwC_hmquiiOECZGATso_GV2I3VU9DvDhoGGMtlOuSUMkxUCIBDEksEQgkCob9c6n-BTK9_oz_5L0R-A7sS8Z_c8AZDl75La5L6KAEwmRv-A" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2667" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfPsd-V_3iEOt_QKNqxr3GiqQhljgWuZ-AVLrhOGqviC5A9g12kX1bZG4RvGpViqEOlrenWWAimiH8L3SMwC_hmquiiOECZGATso_GV2I3VU9DvDhoGGMtlOuSUMkxUCIBDEksEQgkCob9c6n-BTK9_oz_5L0R-A7sS8Z_c8AZDl75La5L6KAEwmRv-A=w267-h400" width="267" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiAOD8TGwLdNWLA0erW5MmQxyBXtxJGLZILrwcmBslzdV5Dgh0s2Fagxa9L4RlOyGRhAEg2RA1iR6oOVHWuSaa-4AuOTh6sqtPaCrJhGFTAhXS0jLbRo0xR6KI2IMwfLo7atNm8f_3eUfgZf65XJ-AzbAHh04wMR62TeD3G8bHLRs7uqhcgGjZ-1PLeXw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiAOD8TGwLdNWLA0erW5MmQxyBXtxJGLZILrwcmBslzdV5Dgh0s2Fagxa9L4RlOyGRhAEg2RA1iR6oOVHWuSaa-4AuOTh6sqtPaCrJhGFTAhXS0jLbRo0xR6KI2IMwfLo7atNm8f_3eUfgZf65XJ-AzbAHh04wMR62TeD3G8bHLRs7uqhcgGjZ-1PLeXw=w400-h266" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgpdLyY6IOgnDAbibVp3H7wCqBSh4NWyQyOl99Hpt6AL4Cao1TTUd6kEMzpuIVOk-GC5hGM5zdbhVX-yvJycElomY2VWrovpE6fPHyPUnul-Pshbp6A-csp8dxkHU_sn1DScaSdmSh89DEzp226UPYP_qxtx6FWG8rZXyZrLRNtThuDljz_gm7ACR0tRQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="341" data-original-width="500" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgpdLyY6IOgnDAbibVp3H7wCqBSh4NWyQyOl99Hpt6AL4Cao1TTUd6kEMzpuIVOk-GC5hGM5zdbhVX-yvJycElomY2VWrovpE6fPHyPUnul-Pshbp6A-csp8dxkHU_sn1DScaSdmSh89DEzp226UPYP_qxtx6FWG8rZXyZrLRNtThuDljz_gm7ACR0tRQ=w400-h272" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Swamp and watershed areas in Jackson County, which are the home to 1,000's of alligators. <br /><br /></div><br /><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">How many "runaway boys" were actually raped, tortured and murdered by staff and guards, sworn police officers, then buried off campus or fed to alligators in the swamps around Dozier? Worse yet, we know police, guards and staff at the facility falsified the boys' records, meaning the number might be much, much higher. We may never know the truth.</span></span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-size: large;">At this point, it should be mentioned that EVANGELICAL Florida Republican Attorney General Pam Bondi supervised every step of the investigation and approved all the findings. Bondi served as REPUBLICAN Attorney General from 2011 to 2019. She claimed, without supplying any evidence, that the abuse ended in the early 1950's. She cited the figure of 57, then later revised to 75 as more and more boys' bodies turned up. Then she was PROVEN WRONG again, when 27 more boys' bodies were found in 2019. The White House Boys estimate of tortured/murdered boys is 130 or more, after interviews with survivors and independent research. The surviving White House Boys admitted that too might be an underestimate.</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-size: large;">The only problem with Republican Attorney General Bondi's official "opinion"/cover-up, boys, who served time at the facility formed a survivors group called the White House Boys, testified that torture was systematically practiced at Dozier through the late 1980's and the boys claimed a murder by guards occurred at Dozier as late as 1980. Worse yet, individual acts of torture by guards were reported right up until the facility's closing and sale in 2012. Republican Attorney General Bondi obviously believed the guards and not the boys, whatever the truth of the matter. I would argue all the dead boys' bodies prove they told the truth, not the guards.</b></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><b>In the 100 year history of the facility there were occasional, short respites, if a reform minded/progressive warden was appointed at the facility. Unfortunately, they usually immediately earned the enmity of guards and staff who liked running the facility their way. The staff/guards would lobby the legislature and governor to replace them with someone more in sync with what they wanted.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><b>A few months ago, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis ORDERED all college professors to clear any testimony before the state legislature with him first and they were warned if he did not like their professional advice or opinions they would be fired immediately. DeSantis made it very clear, he would not allow anyone to testify truthfully if it disagreed with what he wanted them to say. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><b>For those who don't remember, Florida Evangelical Republican Attorney General Pam Bondi dropped Charity Fraud and Tax Fraud investigations of the Trump Foundation and Trump University after Trump donated $25,000 CASH to her re-election campaign for Attorney General. Investigations have determined that the Trump Foundation never did one single act of charity, it was simply a Trump family TAX FREE SLUSH FUND. Trump "university" employed fast food employees on their "faculty" and never qualified as a University. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><b>In fact, the only qualification Trump looked for in his "faculty" were good salesman/woman, with no academic credentials or bona fide experience in the field of real estate, who could get students to purchase extra courses/tutoring whether they could afford them or not. The New Yorker Magazine reports that Trump advertised on Fox News and other right-wing/conservative outlets, targeting people without college/high school degrees or any experience in real estate. <span style="color: red;">These "teachers" actually encouraged students to mortgage their homes to pay for more unaccredited Trump Real Estate courses, which could cost up to $35,000 for a 3 week supplemental course.</span> Trump "university" was shut down for FRAUD by the New York Attorney General. Pam Bondi would later serve as Trump's Impeachment Lawyer.

Juvenile Prisons were paid for by the state of Florida. So local officials, instead of funding and building more facilities for these kids, used local judges to ship girls to the orphanages that existed, then shipped ORPHAN BOYS, 7 to 18-years-old, to Dozier Juvenile PRISON as a practical and very profitable alternative, since more boys sent to Dozier meant more money for Marianna and Jackson County from the Florida state government. For the boys it was the beginning of their hellish nightmare.

Sexual abuse at Dozier had to have roots in both sexual gratification and power over these unfortunate children.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;">Robert Straley was 13 in 1963, he was 5' 4" and weighed 105 pounds, when he was sent to Dozier for running away from home. Almost immediately he became a special target of guards attention. He received several horrific beatings from chief torturer Mr. Tidwell and other guards, who seemed to take sadistic joy in the torture sessions, but then it got many times worse. He spoke in an interview with the Miami Herald, how within a few days he was taken to a hidden room and anally gang raped by a group of guards and other staff. When he started to cry from the pain, the guards would start to beat him. Finally, he mercifully passed out. Throughout his time at Dozier he and other boys were raped 100's of times, passed around from guard to guard. Certain "good looking" boys, 14-years-old and younger were always favorite targets for discipline by the guards and staff and for this "special treatment". </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><b>Mr. Straley was a co-founder of the White House Boys support group of Dozier Reform School Survivors. It should be noted that Florida Republican Attorney General Pam Bondi estimates the number of boys buried at Dozier at between 57 and 75,* while most experts estimate the number at more than 100, much more likely considering the 27 boys' bodies found in 2019, Attorney General Bondi's figure is no longer seen as credible. The White House Boys themselves have researched the matter, taking eyewitness testimony from the boys who served time there and survived. They estimate the number of tortured boys in the 10,000's and the murdered boys at about 130 through their eyewitness accounts and independent research. <a href="http://thewhitehouseboys.com/">http://thewhitehouseboys.com/</a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">When I brought up about another missing boy that was on recording number three (which was very clear) she acted like she hadn’t even heard it. I told her about Louis getting up one night to use the bathroom and catching his cottage father, Mr. Robinson making a Mexican kid perform oral sex on him. Mr. Robinson slapped Louis in the face and sent the Mexican kid back to bed. The cottage father then hog tied Louis and started to electrocute him with a cut off extension cord. During the course of the torture all of Louis’ teeth got broken.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One night Mr. Robinson took that boy out of the dorm to sexually abuse him, but something went wrong. Mr. Robinson came back into the dorm without the boy and he got two of the bullies to go with him. The cottage father locked the doors into the dorm. He then backed his car up to the rear door and then he drove away. The next morning he told the boys in the cottage that the kid had run away. <a href="http://thewhitehouseboys.com/glennraymax.html">http://thewhitehouseboys.com/glennraymax.html</a></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Roger Kiser: Dr. Currie, the Dozier Staff Psychologist was molesting me.

He told me that I would soon visit the White House, which was a torture room for boys who broke one of their many rules or tried to escape. I was sent to the school for trying to escape from the Children's Home Society orphanage in Jacksonville. I had been incarcerated there for 10 years for the crime of having no parents to care for me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">When I heard that they were taking me to this White House, an extreme fear came over me. I almost passed out and was trembling so badly that my legs collapsed under me. I fell to the floor and lay there. The men told me to "get my sorry butt up" and sit down on the hard, wooden bench outside the office. I waited there for the two men who would take me to the "White House" GUARDS' TORTURE CHAMBER. I knew their routine well, as I had heard about it from many other boys who were taken there. Other than the time I learned that I had cancer and would die within six months, I have never known more fear than when I was told I was going to be taken to this place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">After a wait of about 30 minutes, these two men came to get me. They grabbed me by my arms and lifted me off the bench. There were several other boys in the office with me, so I had to try to act as though I was not scared, but they knew. The two men walked with me across the grass circle that divided the offices from the "White House." We stopped at another office and a man, Troy Tidwell took the place of one of the men holding me. We continued walking toward the mess hall. As we rounded the building, I could see it right in front of me: THE WHITE HOUSE.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">My mind was just going crazy with fear. My thoughts seemed to be swimming in a circle, like a cat that had been thrown into a cold river. I was so scared, I could not think straight. Words were coming from my mouth before my mind could think of what it was I was attempting to say. I was trying to decide if I should run and hide or maybe kill myself. Anything was better than what was going to happen in there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">When we reached the door, one of the men took out his keys and stuck one into the lock. I looked back over my shoulder and I saw about 50 boys. They stared in silence. As the door opened, an ungodly odor filled my nose and I could hardly breathe. I remember trying to step through the doorway, but the odor was so overwhelming that I fell in the short hallway inside. One of the men grabbed me by the back of the shirt collar and jerked it up around my neck, choking me. One of the buttons fell off my shirt and hit the floor, rolling very slowly around the corner. Almost everything was happening in slow motion. My whole body was just numb and it was very difficult for me to breathe. I tried to pull the shirt down from around my neck, but the man jerked it once again and hit me on the top of the head with his knuckles. I hit the floor again and bloodied my nose from the impact. At that point, I was not walking at all; my legs would not work.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">The two men picked me up and carried me into a small room, which had nothing in it except a bunk bed and a pillow. They put me down on the floor and ordered me to lie on the bed facing the wall. Crying, I pulled myself up onto the edge of the bed and wiped the blood from my nose onto my shirtsleeve. When I looked up at the men's faces, they were plain, cold and hard. They had no expression whatsoever. I did what they told me to do. One of them said to move my hands to the top of the bunk bed and grab the bar at the headboard. I did so as quickly as I could. Not one sound could be heard. I felt one of the men reach under the pillow and slowly pull something out. I turned over quickly and looked at the one who was standing near me. He had a large leather strap in his hand.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">"Turn your God damn head back toward the wall!" he yelled.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">I knew what was going to happen and it was going to be very bad. I had been told what to expect by some of the boys, who were taken to the White House. I never heard from some of them again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">I also heard that this giant strap was made of two pieces of leather, with a piece of sheet metal sewn in between the halves. Again, everything was dead silent. I remember tightening my buttocks as much as I could. Then I waited and waited, and waited. I remember someone taking a breath, then a footstep. I turned over very quickly and looked toward the man with the leather strap. There was an ungodly look on his face and I knew he was going to beat me to death. I will never forget that look for as long as I live.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">I tried to jump off the bed, but I was knocked backward when the leather strap hit me on the side of the face. I jumped to the end of the bunk and began trying to climb up the cement wall but there was nowhere to climb. Mr. Hatton kept beating me with the leather strap about the chest, back and legs. The men grabbed me, pulled me down and held me to the floor. I was yelling to God to save me, begging for someone, anyone, to help. There was blood all over everything. It was everywhere.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">"Please forgive me! Please forgive me," I repeated at the top of my voice. "Please forgive me! Dear God, please help me!"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">But it didn't do any good; God didn't hear me that day. Maybe He was smart enough not ever to enter the White House, even to save a child.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">After about five minutes of begging, pleading and crying, they told me to get back on the bed and grab the top rail again. They warned that if I tried to get off the bed, the whole thing would repeat from the beginning. I slowly pulled myself up off the floor and got back onto the bed. Again, I grabbed the rail and waited; everything became quiet, except for the two men breathing really hard. Once again, I tightened up my buttocks and waited.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">Then all of a sudden, it happened. I thought my head would explode. The thing came down on me over and over. I screamed and kicked and yelled as much as I could, but it did no good. He just kept beating me over and over. However, I never let go of that bed rail. Then there was nothing. The next thing I remember, I was walking into Doctor Currie's Office and the secretary asked me who I was. I was so bloodied that she could not recognize me. Minutes later, still in a stupor, I was taken to Mr. Hatton's office. I was sitting on a wooden bench in the one-armed man's office. I remember wiping the slobber and blood from my mouth. My body felt like it was on fire. I stood and found that I hardly could.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">God, God, God, it hurt badly. I will never forget that until the day I die.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">One of the men in the office yelled at me to sit down. I told him that I had to go to the bathroom really bad. He pointed at a doorway and said that it was the bathroom; he told me to "make it quick."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">"I'm gonna tell somebody about what you people are doing around here when I get out of here one day," I mumbled.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">"Talk like that around here will have you wake up dead tomorrow morning, sonny boy," said the man, as he squinted his eyes and pointed his finger at me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>Please Consider buying these Roger Dean Kiser Books for the whole story:</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">The Story of Dozier</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/The-White-House-Boys-audiobook/dp/B002YQ9MX4/">https://www.amazon.com/The-White-House-Boys-audiobook/dp/B002YQ9MX4/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">The Imaginary Trial of Troy Tidwell</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/imaginary-Trial-Troy-Tidwell/dp/1365337979/">https://www.amazon.com/imaginary-Trial-Troy-Tidwell/dp/1365337979/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">An Investigative Summary</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Truth-You-Decide-Investigative-Summary/dp/0557481341/">https://www.amazon.com/Truth-You-Decide-Investigative-Summary/dp/0557481341/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;">Other books from Dozier Survivor Roger Dean Kiser</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/authorrdk">https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/authorrdk</a></div></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">* Florida Attorney General Bondi's "investigation" attributes many of the deaths to natural causes, but that is certainly not true. An insurance actuary estimated that 5 boys would have died during the normal course of events at a facility like Dozier during the 100 years it was open. Boys who died from disease or injuries while at the facility were not a problem for the staff, guards and warden, who would happily ship the boy's body back to their family for burial. It was the boys who were tortured, abused and murdered boys who had to be hidden and secretly buried. Funeral homes might detect evidence of sexual abuse, beatings and torture on their bodies while preparing/dressing the boys for burial.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;">My parenthetical additions come from a scandal a few years ago at Republican Private for Profit Juvenile Prison in the rural West. Boys as young as 10 up to 16-years-old were "given" to 200 pound 16/17/18-year-old boys for sex, they were RAPED repeatedly with full knowledge and approval of prison guards, staff and administrators. These 200 pound boys were used to make sure the prison ran smoothly and their were no troublemakers. Any trouble, the troublemaker would have the **** beaten out of him by these vicious bullies until they got the message. Both of these crimes were ignored by prison guards, staff and administrators. And crimes which the local sheriff, DA's and Judges NEVER allowed in their courtrooms. Later charges of cover-up occurred online when the story disappeared from newspapers after a gag order from a local judge. Evangelical Republican Attorney General Pam Bondi, apparently, is not the only one with a broken moral compass.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>THE INNOCENT...</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><br /></div></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN07_foK03YWvGgiYNcawpYX_V_LjnCwVMrE-VIHOyQDdyDfQbBkhdCfGZYuKmR0ujE16k2BpdMr6_zineVakHgzk0YBX82Rj3YHPPXuFMXeCtu43L2LLW03nznrTJ1nGjhwZsX0e0CdLN/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="483" data-original-width="345" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN07_foK03YWvGgiYNcawpYX_V_LjnCwVMrE-VIHOyQDdyDfQbBkhdCfGZYuKmR0ujE16k2BpdMr6_zineVakHgzk0YBX82Rj3YHPPXuFMXeCtu43L2LLW03nznrTJ1nGjhwZsX0e0CdLN/w285-h400/image.png" width="285" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xwEP4rAFDMm3kvdr4GfvRcqgC0R7uQrT4_c7dMAYQlDUY_EoF2niBYCOsbPa4yJ42_NKbLR0r1sKjnKFOmOaJ6mo_nQYV42Ihp1UmBV6JRETX25p7AWoVQcUZheRr39vFx3Gc4ipcTTv/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="394" data-original-width="306" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xwEP4rAFDMm3kvdr4GfvRcqgC0R7uQrT4_c7dMAYQlDUY_EoF2niBYCOsbPa4yJ42_NKbLR0r1sKjnKFOmOaJ6mo_nQYV42Ihp1UmBV6JRETX25p7AWoVQcUZheRr39vFx3Gc4ipcTTv/w310-h400/image.png" width="310" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;">Pictured above is Roger Kiser an orphan from Jacksonville who was sent to Dozier for running away at age 8 from the orphanage because of beatings and abuse, remaining there until his 18th birthday.

In a 2009 deposition, he said he spanked boys with a paddle a few times. One boy remembered him laughing as he hit the 12-year-old 57 times as hard as he could causing the boy to cry, scream and become drenched in his own blood.

All I could hear was the sound of rustling papers and the other boy somewhat whimpering and cursing. Mr. Tidwell opened his door, walked to the back and opened the door where the boy was laying. Once again the two of them began to curse and scream at one another. I looked over my shoulder when I heard the boy spit. I cringed when I saw Tidwell wiping the spit from his face in the light of the full moon. He lowered his hand and just stood there not saying a word. Suddenly, he reached in, grabbed the boy by his shirt, jerked him out of the car and threw him to the ground. The boy was screaming, every word a curse word. Trying my best to watch them, my legs slipped off the seat. I struggled and finally managed to get back up on the seat, my head now facing the two of them on the driver’s side of the car. Tidwell reached down and grabbed the boy by the handcuffs and jerked as hard as he could, causing the boy to scream out in pain. He un-cuffed the boy’s hands from his feet and jerked him to a standing position. Swinging as hard as he could, he hit the boy (with his right hand) so hard that the boy fell sideways; his head slammed full force into the side of the vehicle. Instantly, everything went silent except Tidwell breathing. I waited for the boy to begin cursing but there was no sound at all. All remained silent except for the thousands of crickets and an occasional bull frog. ‘Maybe the boy finally learned his lesson and was remaining still and quiet,’ I thought.</div><div>I lay perfectly still waiting to see what might happen next. The next thing I knew the man walked around the car opened the door and began unlocking my handcuffs from my ankle chains. I was instructed to get out of the car and hop to the back of the vehicle. Only being able to take baby-steps, he jerked me by the shirt forcing me to the back of the vehicle where he opened the trunk.</div><div>“DAMN!” he yelled in disgust, as he hit the back of the car with his fist. Still breathing really hard, he bent forward and held onto the vehicle with his one arm. We both stood there looking at the lifeless body on the ground.</div><div>“Is he dead Mr. Tidwell?”</div><div>“Shut your damn mouth,” he screamed.</div><div>I could tell that Tidwell was scared. I had never seen him scared before. He was a rough, tough mean man but never did I ever see him scared of anything or anyone. There was a large hinge bolt which held the door onto the vehicle. I think the side of the boy’s head hit the bolt when Tidwell knocked him into the car. I didn’t see any blood but I knew the boy was deader than a doornail.</div><div>“Don’t you say one damn word, do you understand me boy? You get down on the ground and lay flat on your belly,” he demanded. He ordered me to stay quiet and remain totally flat on the ground. I watched his feet beneath the automobile as he walked toward an old tin building. Several minutes later he returned with a shovel in his right hand. I was directed to dig a grave about twenty yards off the road. I immediately began digging. Once in a while I would look up at Mr. Tidwell who was constantly staring at me. I dug the hole until it was about up to my knees and then I stopped.</div><div>“Twice as deep,” he ordered.</div><div>I knew right then and there he was not going to leave any witnesses.</div><div>“Mr. Tidwell, have you ever seen the movie “Cool Hand Luke?”</div><div>He didn’t respond.</div><div>As I continued to dig, I whispered loudly, “You remind me of Cool Hand Luke, Mr. Tidwell. You’re a big and strong man just like Mr. Luke;”</div><div>“I was a good boy myself when I first came to work here; a very good boy. You know what that means? But that’s all changed now,” Tidwell said, in a slow, somber drawn out tone of voice.</div><div>“My daddy always beat me real bad Mr. Tidwell, real black and blue too. He tried to smother me and my brother and he shot my mama one time too. I wanted to be strong like Cool Hand Luke but I never could do it. The beatings just hurt too badly. Maybe I could be strong one day just like you Mr. Tidwell. That’s what I want to be one day; to be big and strong just like you.”</div><div>Tidwell stood not saying a word.</div><div>“I won’t say nothin’ about what happened here, really I won’t Mr. Tidwell.”</div><div>“I can’t take that chance son,” he replied.</div><div>When I looked up at his face, because of the bright moonlight, I could see tears running down Tidwell’s cheeks. But again, he said nothing.</div><div>I looked back down and began to dig. My body began to shake and tremble uncontrollably. I was so scared that I couldn’t even start crying. I tried to think but my mind kept running in a never-ending circle of confusion. ‘Could he kill me? Would he really kill me? Why did he start crying? Mr. Tidwell never cries, ‘cause he’s real strong just like in the movie Cool Hand Luke.’</div><div>There was one way for me to save myself. It was real, real bad but not as bad as havin’ to die. I stopped digging, looked directly up at Mr. Tidwell and said, “Mr. Tidwell, please don’t hurt me. I’ll suck your dick really, really good if you don’t hurt me and I’ll do it good to.”</div><div>Half a smile came to his face as he pressed his lips together as if he were thinking; but all he did was shake his head “no” as if in a state of disgust. I thought about dropping the shovel and running out into the woods, but I knew that the gators or snakes would get me just like the other boys who ran away and were never heard from again.</div><div>When the hole was about up to my waist, Mr. Tidwell ordered me stop digging. I watched as he walked over to the boy, grabbed him by his handcuffed arms and drug him to the waiting hole. I kept saying over and over, “I won’t tell anyone Mr. Tidwell, really I won’t Mr. Tidwell.” He acted as if I were not even there. With one arm he flung the boy’s body into the hole as if it had no weight to it whatsoever. The body landed on me and I fell to the bottom of the damp hole and began crying.</div><div>After the boy was thrown into the hole, I was instructed to cover him with dirt. When the hole was about half full, I stopped and looked at the one arm man.</div><div>“Keep filling,” he instructed.</div><div>After completely filling the hole I began patting down the soil so it wouldn’t leave a big hump.</div><div>“Nobody’ll ever find him Mr. Tidwell. No way, not way out here.”</div><div>“I’m going to take you to lock-up and you had best keep your damn mouth shut. You keep that mouth of yours shut and every once in a while I’ll take you to town and buy you a soda pop.”</div><div>“I gave you my word Mr. Tidwell and I won’t ever go back on that.

This was not designed to punish boys, this was designed to TORTURE them. Devices like this explain why the boys were stripped naked by their Bible Belt Evangelical "christian" guards. The guards didn't want blood on the boys' clothes. Then they were kept naked in solitary confinement cell until the boy's wounds healed, at which point, they were put back in the general population---until their next torture session or being carried and buried in the "garbage pit." Many might suspect a sexual sadism motive may be involved as well in the actions of these Bible Belt "christian" guards too. A not unreasonable assumption.

As a step towards integration, all boys were tortured in the "white house". Racist Governor Fuller Warren came from Marianna and he lobbied the state legislature to drastically increase the size of Dozier Juvenile Prison in his hometown. Gov. Warren (1949-1953) was a very proud member of the KKK. Through his efforts, Dozier became the largest and worst juvenile prison in the US. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Local Police throughout Northern Florida were encouraged to creatively arrest and DA's to prosecute poor boys under any pretext so the Dozier facility was always full, which served as a boon to the local economy. Judges were active participants and willing accomplices. Justice had NOTHING to do with what was occurring at Dozier. They even sent ORPHANS to Dozier by default. There were burglars, rapists and murderers at Dozier, though few in number. Not even they deserved what happened to them there. As to be expected, greed was the #1 motivation for sending boys to Dozier, far more important than Justice.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">White House Boys said life at Dozier was a living hell, but black boys had it worse. Most local guards were vicious racists and never attempted to hide it. Apparently many of them were sexual sadists and child molesters, considering the update reported in Wikipedia of a Boy Rape Dungeon for the Guards and Staff reported in 2015.

I remember seeing it on TV once in the 1960's when I was about 10-years-old. Southern Bible Belt Politicians and Evangelical Preachers successfully got it banned from local TV in Atlanta because they said it gave an unfair portrayal of the Bible Belt. I had to go to a Russian Website to find it. Actually, it turns out to be ahead of its time and told the TRUTH. In 2012, Florida sold off Dozier Reform School to developers. Horrified construction crews were discover boys' bodies everywhere they dug. I wrote about Dozier on my blog. I became interested in Dozier when Republican Attorney General Pam Bondi REFUSED to prosecute guards who TORTURED/MURDERED boys at the facility.

This was the fate of the July 20th 1944 plotters led by Count Claus von Stauffenberg. Count von Stauffenberg planted his briefcase bomb under the table in Hitler's Conference Room at Hitler's Prussian Military HQ, Wolf's Lair/Wolfsschanze. Stauffenberg planted the bomb immediately in front of where Hitler always stood during these meetings. Unfortunately, Stauffenberg received a planned telephone call saying it required him to leave the meeting and left the room. Historians believe that Colonel Heinz Brandt, one of the 20 meeting attendees, who was standing next to Hitler, used his foot to move the briefcase aside by pushing it behind the leg of the conference table, thus unwittingly deflecting the blast from Hitler. The blast caused Colonel Brandt to lose one of his legs which caused his own death a few days later. Count von Stauffenberg was arrested that same day and with two compatriots were shot that night in Berlin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRMavtFLtOmZ3zDAZ2mayYMazdkbDVxFB82V84rAfN1zmBPQd_HuRHC4u_k_D29OSbhudzBkfVSgYZ5WoxwCKAB-CJReZt29ld8RS1HPoxUDlnFK-fAYJxwrE27Bpi6T73YjteZPqId8eX/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="749" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRMavtFLtOmZ3zDAZ2mayYMazdkbDVxFB82V84rAfN1zmBPQd_HuRHC4u_k_D29OSbhudzBkfVSgYZ5WoxwCKAB-CJReZt29ld8RS1HPoxUDlnFK-fAYJxwrE27Bpi6T73YjteZPqId8eX/w267-h400/image.png" width="267" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Catholic Count Stauffenberg and his wife Nina.

Stauffenberg, his aide 1st Lieutenant Werner von Haeften, General Friedrich Olbricht and Colonel Albrecht Mertz von Quirnheim were executed before 1:00 AM, 21 July 1944, by a makeshift firing squad in the courtyard of the Bendlerblock, which was lit by the headlights of a truck. The arrests resulting from the Gestapo investigation in the weeks that followed, led to Plotzensee Prison where the plotters/prisoners were tortured and then hanged from piano wire.

Trump could have taken an umbrella, which could have been held by a USMC soldier, while he laid flowers on the graves of the Unknown Soldiers. All of which, would have taken less than 10 minutes.

After years of investigation, it has been determined 7800 Scoutmasters and adult leaders engaged inappropriate behavior, including sexual misbehavior, of whom about 2000 are believed to have engaged in forceful sexual assault and rape. That is out of 1,000,000 men who have served as Scout Leaders. Though the number seems high, it is less than 1% of Scout Leaders. The real anger should be reserved for churches and community groups which sponsored Boy Scout Troops, which, after receiving accusations of inappropriate behavior, then refused to investigate or even after repeated accusations involving the same leader, instead pressured the boys to drop their accusations to protect the accused, the church or community groups. These organizations should have immediately suspended the leader under suspicion, investigated, then called police if warranted and let them determine the legitimacy of the complaint. This almost never happened. That is a crime too.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuopLRyVDTmMa9qlHTWuief2xvDfiCIDmbsY1bxR92_nxJN70Mjckuyio3RTReYMxrgDnb69Le9F3CRtM7_tK9BMB0HSb4XA_9rwml2O_dNBhpg5mpzI2JF-vDy0g8Nt6eGqI0GhJ_I82a/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="445" data-original-width="288" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuopLRyVDTmMa9qlHTWuief2xvDfiCIDmbsY1bxR92_nxJN70Mjckuyio3RTReYMxrgDnb69Le9F3CRtM7_tK9BMB0HSb4XA_9rwml2O_dNBhpg5mpzI2JF-vDy0g8Nt6eGqI0GhJ_I82a/w258-h400/image.png" width="258" /></a></div><br /><b>More shame for Boy Scouts, leaders who lead the boys into vandalism:</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> In 2014, Mormon Deacon and Boy Scout Leaders, led by Scoutmaster Glenn Taylor, found some "fun" for their boys i</span><span style="font-size: medium;">n Utah’s Goblin Valley State Park.

And then he started spending other people's money on himself and his immediate family on luxuries. He was in over his head and needed to feed the ravenous beast, GREED. For years, Shawn had been a good man to his family, friends and fellow parishioners, He first became a Deacon then a Bishop in the Mormon Church, then he got himself in trouble when temptation became too strong and he gave into greed and couldn't get himself out.

I wonder about it as much as I regret it. Still, it is true that Hitler betrayed me. I had an audience with him, as a representative of the Protestant Church, shortly before he became Chancellor, in 1932. Hitler promised me on his word of honor, to protect the Church, and not to issue any anti-Church laws. He also agreed not to allow pogroms against the Jews, assuring me as follows: "There will be restrictions against the Jews, but there will be no ghettos, no pogroms, in Germany."</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I really believed, given the widespread anti-Semitism in Germany, at that time—that Jews should avoid aspiring to Government positions or seats in the Reichstag. There were many Jews, especially among the Zionists, who took a similar stand. Hitler's assurance satisfied me at the time. On the other hand, I hated the growing atheistic movement, which was fostered and promoted by the Social Democrats and the Communists. Their hostility toward the Church made me pin my hopes on Hitler for a while.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I am paying for that mistake now; and not me alone, but thousands of other persons like me." </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">"We preferred to keep silent.

If we had said back then, it is not right when Hermann Göring simply puts 100,000 Communists in the concentration camps, in order to let them die. I can imagine that perhaps 30,000 to 40,000 Protestant Christians would have had their heads cut off, but I can also imagine that we would have rescued 30,000,000–40,000,000 people, because that is what it is costing us now."</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Lutheran Pastor Martin Niemoller</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Pastor Niemoller is most famous for his poem, First They Came.

Hitler would infiltrate liberal and leftist groups, then testify against their members in treason trials run by the German Military. Summary Execution was always the result in these "trials". Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht are the most famous examples, but 1000's of others were victims of these persecutions. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>Hitler infiltrated the Nazis, a small group of over 100 racist fanatics.

When Hitler assumed power as Chancellor in 1933, it was pressure from Baron Krupp on President Hindenburg which got him the job. Hitler's first act was to declare May 1st a holiday, Labor Day, for workers, then, the next day, he sent Goring's GESTAPO to murder and arrest union leaders, followed by an official decree making unions and strikes illegal. </span></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">But everyone should have seen it coming.

Remember that the next time the NRA or Fox News lies and says Germany had gun control. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ndIDMgE4kVI4gLwyUox_b_oEMGs8UFHRUIG-MkMzbbPM25cCLNopCwSE6z8ghWEqt0kHpyfxjyaKqjGKpzlHW8Ee3TxfWzQ05HHJ1Wd0VjDe-cqCQ5YO1RdOi7kOYeegf8YxJjCgXvTj/s701/jugend+guns+knives+hitler.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="701" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ndIDMgE4kVI4gLwyUox_b_oEMGs8UFHRUIG-MkMzbbPM25cCLNopCwSE6z8ghWEqt0kHpyfxjyaKqjGKpzlHW8Ee3TxfWzQ05HHJ1Wd0VjDe-cqCQ5YO1RdOi7kOYeegf8YxJjCgXvTj/w400-h250/jugend+guns+knives+hitler.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWvcSmXffXErtUc_iVQpp0vqmSi4savp9UpkKliPJkyG05t1Qp2deXAeAqs4p5KwoIgxbOn14c8YLpExdWI1-JebDiwYhlXA44T8bpxpIDG0YOCYHNRju4fP7tP1wJxzNtZ_ahQwuC7jBk/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="270" data-original-width="435" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWvcSmXffXErtUc_iVQpp0vqmSi4savp9UpkKliPJkyG05t1Qp2deXAeAqs4p5KwoIgxbOn14c8YLpExdWI1-JebDiwYhlXA44T8bpxpIDG0YOCYHNRju4fP7tP1wJxzNtZ_ahQwuC7jBk/w400-h249/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">A teenage boy known only to God</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">A gay boy from Berlin who was arrested by the Nazi Gestapo and disappeared in 1932, thanks to Adolf Hitler, </span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span>Herman Goering and</span><span> Heinrich Himmler.

The 1968 movie, Good-bye Mr. Chips, starring Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark was filmed at the Sherborne School. It was a moment of redemption, because students at the school led a movement to rehabilitate Alan Turing, which brought them to the attention of the producers and was the main reason they chose the school to film to honor the students' efforts by including them in the film too. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjSljvtrb5Yy-fEVmpVkOSjgPeGIgYPIiQQhZeAUqEjHQFcW3qxmieR1zxcVrYQOfi3fb_oChorzjTWesaSrP1JMxn67heyUIi77QDECZZURwQpY0ec5DtLAhcl1XcAC9uA2P8bXy9JdSiGlL367dw04c2UHd3iWj1m60qql-xkHkAHLhvdxGBBODaU6A" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="549" data-original-width="976" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjSljvtrb5Yy-fEVmpVkOSjgPeGIgYPIiQQhZeAUqEjHQFcW3qxmieR1zxcVrYQOfi3fb_oChorzjTWesaSrP1JMxn67heyUIi77QDECZZURwQpY0ec5DtLAhcl1XcAC9uA2P8bXy9JdSiGlL367dw04c2UHd3iWj1m60qql-xkHkAHLhvdxGBBODaU6A=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3TFPGBhb89bMqyvpI-C5MUhOtc-fHQZ8z_646NXpJJPzfwgHITYERRZBFGTt4FpprkV9i2cbFu9WkPOXJweHj512XnaOaAuCrujaTcosXoRliVC_TYGrDz3y2-UwkgCZZCpNGvvghIVZEdk0neXtHrv-45CGCke6hJaYzireyutkMfqsYnLiK7Kgvaw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="549" data-original-width="976" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3TFPGBhb89bMqyvpI-C5MUhOtc-fHQZ8z_646NXpJJPzfwgHITYERRZBFGTt4FpprkV9i2cbFu9WkPOXJweHj512XnaOaAuCrujaTcosXoRliVC_TYGrDz3y2-UwkgCZZCpNGvvghIVZEdk0neXtHrv-45CGCke6hJaYzireyutkMfqsYnLiK7Kgvaw=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><br />\</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoIogzRFSUl95CMSctPmPgbX_2MYOyKXsgexDwBjOAk30AedkD66ri_2Er-8kiteChU5sHZ85MJwltHW5GI5KFFQcaFLF5Y5GqUg9nfcicmjciFkXQfZdRrQPu09oKozH_ytIZFMLDE_Cu/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoIogzRFSUl95CMSctPmPgbX_2MYOyKXsgexDwBjOAk30AedkD66ri_2Er-8kiteChU5sHZ85MJwltHW5GI5KFFQcaFLF5Y5GqUg9nfcicmjciFkXQfZdRrQPu09oKozH_ytIZFMLDE_Cu/w400-h225/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgOKNGplTRoNGILpBSSU7FwBpCVx2G7B5LsnDWcMjj_JR28uqQ3Z5SZFPakLdRtpFfsSOkJyPJVRN3BIQ6f0hxbmlh0JtORO4QBqwDLjW89F2udiik3ImdFFpfHNs0xDiF2WFwHvcj0WPICJ5vZSaAbBSEx_LR3XVdknm_cf2NA1d0RxkbnJyMoavgneA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="304" data-original-width="565" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgOKNGplTRoNGILpBSSU7FwBpCVx2G7B5LsnDWcMjj_JR28uqQ3Z5SZFPakLdRtpFfsSOkJyPJVRN3BIQ6f0hxbmlh0JtORO4QBqwDLjW89F2udiik3ImdFFpfHNs0xDiF2WFwHvcj0WPICJ5vZSaAbBSEx_LR3XVdknm_cf2NA1d0RxkbnJyMoavgneA=w400-h215" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi6kaFzkaL0wg6fCvyOBD4LQUjT4ow1JsHsdl2hd2rNCNw65VOcn2ukKAJ3QZAIxW7BAGXM3GRpWJIx9VIxVcDxfuhlWAi0buWe8JjR2CamY7H2g5PHgL5joseenlXf8Aq5Cb-tL2h53OeadeV5az7z5k3ikz7SBvnYBOJ2gir4QBSF1q0h4a623yMUMw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="353" data-original-width="623" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi6kaFzkaL0wg6fCvyOBD4LQUjT4ow1JsHsdl2hd2rNCNw65VOcn2ukKAJ3QZAIxW7BAGXM3GRpWJIx9VIxVcDxfuhlWAi0buWe8JjR2CamY7H2g5PHgL5joseenlXf8Aq5Cb-tL2h53OeadeV5az7z5k3ikz7SBvnYBOJ2gir4QBSF1q0h4a623yMUMw=w400-h226" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Through these Sherborne kids' and alumni's efforts, Alan Turing has finally received the honors that he deserved for his contribution to our efforts in WWII.

Churchill, Attlee, Alan Turing and the Bletchley Park Team decided that if they overused their broken Enigma code, the Nazis would change it. So they decided, strategically, to use it for battle information and D-Day specifically. Their greatest success was in convincing Hitler, Generals Jodl and Keitl that the US, British and French invasion on D-Day, June 6th 1944, would come at Calais, the nearest point to the UK and NOT Cherbourg/Normandy, where it would actually occur.

<span style="font-size: medium;">Adolf Hitler was a War Hero in WWI winning the Iron Cross for Bravery under fire. When the war ended, he continued to work for the Prussian controlled German Army as a SPY. Hitler was sent to infiltrate liberal, socialists and leftist groups and report back to prosecutors so they could try members of these groups for Treason.</span><br />

Hitler with his buddies from the German Trenches. Soldiers were safer in the trenches than in no man's land. Hitler volunteered to become a courier between the trenches and Army HQ. Hitler was gassed and nearly killed several times. He spent months in the hospital, begging doctors to release him so he could get back to the front.<br />
About a month from the end of WWI, September 28, 1918, Adolf Hitler was carrying a message to HQ when he was confronted by a British Private, Henry Tandey, serving near the French village of Marcoing. Tandey had Hitler in his gun sight.<br />

As Tandey tells the story, during the final moments of that Battle of Marcoing France, German troops were in retreat, a wounded German soldier entered Tandey’s line of fire. “I took aim but couldn’t shoot a wounded man,” Tandey remembered, “so I let him go.” The German soldier nodded in thanks, and disappeared.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj50gYqg31M2TCQVb7AiEIBeZdJPz1AYlGVUq45wlnHle87Q2qrNgb8z2Z2sTYAzOx3k3gjmPbaujcps1ywagO3X7k2AcYU2ww01gH6QUdHC88lyOqgsD3VBSSPX3TJAeZFVKi3O1ysMMo3/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="456" data-original-width="534" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj50gYqg31M2TCQVb7AiEIBeZdJPz1AYlGVUq45wlnHle87Q2qrNgb8z2Z2sTYAzOx3k3gjmPbaujcps1ywagO3X7k2AcYU2ww01gH6QUdHC88lyOqgsD3VBSSPX3TJAeZFVKi3O1ysMMo3/w400-h342/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Adolf Hitler was in the areas on that day in 1918, an intriguing link emerged to suggest that he was in fact the soldier Tandey spared. A photograph of a painting that appeared in London newspapers of Tandey carrying a wounded soldier at Ypres in 1914 was later portrayed on canvas in a painting by the Italian artist Fortunino Matania glorifying the Allied war effort. As the story goes, when British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain traveled to Germany in 1938 to engage Hitler in a last-ditch effort to avoid another war in Europe, he was taken by the Führer to his new country retreat in Bavaria. There, Hitler showed Chamberlain his copy of the Matania painting, commenting, “That’s the man who nearly shot me.”</span></div><div>

<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
Here is Adolf Hitler in 1922, with the Chief of Staff for the German Army Prussian General Ludendorff. Hitler was spying for military intelligence on leftist groups. In 10 years he would become Chancellor of Germany, thanks to Right-Wing Billionaire Baron Krupp who manufactured weapons and armaments. Hitler made him many times richer.<br />
Ludendorff commanded the Spring German Offensive in which over a 1,000,000 attacked the allies all along the Somme River. It was called two other names, the Kaiserschlat, The German Kaiser's Offensive, or, as some called it after its creator, The Ludendorff Offensive. It began March 21, 1918 and lasted until July 18, 1918. Initially, the Germans inflicted huge losses on the French, British and American troops, the British alone had 7,000 dead and 20,000 wounded within a couple of hours and 10,000 more captured, allowing the Germans to capture huge amounts of Allied territory.<br />
But three things guaranteed failure for the Germans, Allied Commander French Field Marshal Foche brilliantly rallied and counterattacked, driving the German back to their original entrenchments by July, Germany suffered 688,341 killed and wounded and Ludendorff used every reserve that he had. And that is even before the American massive 2nd wave of reinforcements arrived. Though the war would continue until November 11th 1918, it was in every practical sense over.</span><br />

November 11, 1918, the Armistice is signed at Compiegne France.</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
World War One was fought almost entirely in France, costing the French 1,400,000 dead soldiers and 300,000 dead civilians, the French lost a generation of men and the post war birth rate plummeted. There were simply too few men for women to marry. France suffered the equivalent of $50 Billion Dollars in Damage. Here the Germans, having defeated the French by violating the neutrality of Belgium and the Netherlands for a 2nd Time, demanded the same Train Car that General Foche signed World War One the Armistice with the Germans be brought back to Compiegne so Hitler could sign the surrender at exactly the same place in the same train car as November 11, 1918.<br />
<br />
Now, having lost the Spring Offensive to Marshal Foche, Ludendorff started blaming defeat not on the army, but on Civilians in Germany. His favorite targets Unions, Leftists and Jews. Adolf Hitler had gotten to know Ludendorff during the War and became one of the few soldiers who continued to work for the army after the Armistice. Hitler came to agree with Ludendorff, in direct defiance of the facts, Germany lost because of Liberals and Leftists, not on the Battlefield. He would never forget. Hitler determined to make them pay for their "treachery"<br />
<br />
Hitler stumbled upon the Nazi Party in one of his investigations. It had fanatic members and no leader. Hitler saw his roundez-vous with history, infiltrated the membership and took over.<br />

<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
Rosa Luxemburg was a radical and persuasive speaker who was gaining in popularity within Germany after the end of World War One, Hitler and his ex-military militia, the Freikorps weren't going to allow that, The Freikorps executed Rosa Luxemburg on January 15, 1919.<br />
<br />
Hitler took over the party and made it a purely Pro-German Aryan Nationalist Party. It was funded by Conservative Billionaire Baron Krupp, who supported its right-wing military policies.</span><br />

<br /></div><span style="font-size: medium;">Everyone who wanted to see Hitler had to come to Berlin or Berchtesgaden to see Hitler. Hitler never went to see anyone, with one exception: the man most responsible for his place in history. Hitler flew to Essen Germany to congratulate Baron Krupp on his 70th Birthday on August 7, 1940. Hitler and Krupp had changed the Nazi Party into the Aryan, Pro-Business, Nationalist, Militarist CONSERVATIVE Party.<br />
<br />
In the 1930, Krupp's financial help allowed the Nazis to gain 33% of the seats in the Reichstag, losing only to the REAL Socialist Party, the Social Democrats.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">Baron Krupp used his money and influence to force ROYALIST/CONSERVATIVE Chancellor von Papen to include Adolf Hitler and his Nazis in his cabinet. Von Papen needed the Nazis. His coalitions was a hodge-podge of Royalists, Conservatives, Nationalists and Religious Parties but they were nowhere near a majority of 50% + 1 Reichstag votes, which is what Hitler gave him. 1,000,000 Berliners came out to protest against Hitler's inclusion in the cabinet. Von Papen gave Hitler protégé Herman Goering the Interior Security/Police Ministry. Goering's first act was to create the GESTAPO. Goering and Hitler then declared protests acts of treason and began prosecuting demonstrators. There were no more large protests in Germany.</span><br />

Hitler and Goering used the Reichstag Fire, set by Dutchman von Lubbe to kick the Communists and other leftists groups out of the Parliament as enemies of the state. Even at the time, Goering was suspected of using the mentally ill young man as a front for a Nazi act of terrorism, one which, allowed Hitler to become Fuhrer.</span><br />

Hitler's planning worked perfectly, kicking out liberals and leftist from the Reichstag allowed the Nazis to become the largest party in the Reichstag, replacing the Social Democrats, the Socialist Party.<br />
<br />
Baron Krupp pressured German President Field Marshal Hindenburg to fire von Papen as ineffective and appoint Hitler Chancellor to see if he could form a government. He did and his first actions show how truly CONSERVATIVE HE WAS.<br />
<br />
Hitler ordered the German Army demonstrate military grade weapons in public parks to the public, targeting boys 10-years-old and older after he became German Chancellor January 30, 1933. These boys, 10-years-old and up, were trained to shoot military grade machine guns, manufactured by Baron Krupp's Krupp Works Armament Factory. "Pro-Life," Pro-NRA Republicans claim that the Nazis immediately implemented gun control when they came to power. That is a lie. Every German boy was made to join the Nazi Hitler Jugend/Youth at age 10-years-old. He was given a vicious Nazi hunting knife. When he was 14-years-old he was given a gun. It is estimated that German had 80,000,000 guns in German civilian hands by September 1, 1939, the beginning of World War II, more than any other country on earth. There were approximately 60,000,000 Germans in 1930.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3aX21pHjy1Tj_r79-vXPU7qmCeHxJruj5xPTNkdjAMzzAVCf893Won-wPTpzUwI-EuWUO9rLeNXdPt1aTDuHadHE9-_c_rWI2XAMzDw4SDkptzlH6cr3cwi-nVmHZijPPGut-gpjvI6yq/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3aX21pHjy1Tj_r79-vXPU7qmCeHxJruj5xPTNkdjAMzzAVCf893Won-wPTpzUwI-EuWUO9rLeNXdPt1aTDuHadHE9-_c_rWI2XAMzDw4SDkptzlH6cr3cwi-nVmHZijPPGut-gpjvI6yq/w400-h266/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></span>

A Belgian woman Elizabeth Vincken and her 12-year-old son Fritz, both, of German ancestry, had fled town and were hiding from the fighting. After a moments hesitation they welcomed the Americans in and offered them their meager potato and chicken soup. Sometime later a German Patrol came upon the cabin asking if they could come in and warm themselves. The woman said yes, as long as you accept our guests in the spirit of Christmas. The German commander figured out their were Americans inside and agreed to leave his troops' weapons outside with the American soldiers' weapons and come inside to celebrate Christmas. The German Patrol had a medic, who looked after the American soldiers wound and quickly staunched the bleeding. The next day both patrols left, heading in different directions. The Germans even gave the Americans the quickest directions to their own lines, bypassing German troops. The boy many years later appeared on Unsolved Mysteries which tracked down one of the Americans from that night, 76-year-old Ralph Blank, only a few years older than Fritz.</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpki3HKxNi80wVBaFCaBOfb6nL4xDOVzvdOdZlpDkVnI0Y4QvjUlPM75CXVafc9z7H4muewOeYOyrYCPmjOk_G3iMSpcQH2e4iY4e3HrU_O8GTkm3GqL7olJe90_J_gBXX221K-TV2m35r/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="191" data-original-width="620" height="124" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpki3HKxNi80wVBaFCaBOfb6nL4xDOVzvdOdZlpDkVnI0Y4QvjUlPM75CXVafc9z7H4muewOeYOyrYCPmjOk_G3iMSpcQH2e4iY4e3HrU_O8GTkm3GqL7olJe90_J_gBXX221K-TV2m35r/w400-h124/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><br /><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>One of the most intense and troubling movies ever made about WWII: Come and See (1985)</b></span></div>

There are a few exceptions. The Belorussian movie <b>Come and See (1985)</b> impressed me as much as any movie as I have ever seen. It tells the story of the Nazi Invasion of Belorussia/Belorus, a constituent USSR "republic," which borders Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine. It is the story of one boy's fight to survive wanton Nazi persecution. IT IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY. This boy, Aleksey Kravchenko, deserves an Oscar for his brilliant, heartbreaking performance. It was produced during the waning days of the Soviet Union and got lost in the shuffle of international politics. It didn't really achieve notice until the 2010's. If you can handle it, it certainly is worth watching. I ran across Aleksey with the Director and was struck with his smile. After such a heartbreaking performance, it really meant something to see this boy smiling.

It comes from the Book of Revelation: “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, ‘Come and see.' And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

They know about Katyn, about the massacre of the Polish officers there. But they don't know about Belorussia. Even though more than 600 villages were burned there!And I decided to make a film about this tragedy. I perfectly understood that the film would end up a harsh one. I decided that the central role of the village lad Flyora would not be played by a professional actor, who upon immersion into a difficult role could have protected himself psychologically with his accumulated acting experience, technique and skill. I wanted to find a simple boy fourteen years of age. We had to prepare him for the most difficult experiences, then capture them on film. And at the same time, we had to protect him from the stresses so that he wasn't left in the loony bin after filming was over, but was returned to his mother alive and healthy. Fortunately, with Aleksei Kravchenko, who played Flyora and who later became a good actor, everything went smoothly.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I understood that this would be a very brutal film and that it was unlikely that people would be able to watch it. I told this to my screenplay coauthor, the writer Ales Adamovich. But he replied: "Let them not watch it, then. This is something we must leave after us. As evidence of war, and as a plea for peace."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">— Elem Klimov, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ales Adamovich, who fought with the Belarusian partisans as a teenager.

He also made a commercial about Gypsies. Though he was mostly Russian, his family was originally from Vladivostok on the Pacific Coast of Russia, he made another commercial about prejudice against Gypsies, because he had gypsy blood from his mom's side of the family. In the commercial Yul spoke about the fact that there were 1,000,000 gypsies in Europe before WWII. The UN conducted a census after the end of the war, the UN found 6,000,000 Jews had been murdered by the Nazis, but about 3,000,000 survived. But the UN Census couldn't find a single gypsy, not one, in their census. The UN estimated, maybe between 400 to 2,000 children may have been given to Catholic families and hidden, like some Jewish children were, at great peril, but after 6 years of war and the calamity it brought, a baby up to five-years-old would no longer have any memory of their gypsy heritage. Roma, the official name of the gypsies, were wiped out from continental Europe.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu8rMlskSCJK3chyBV2Wh9KGc6VcjhmjRFVY0epQcJjtBx5LrY2mhoST8DjzLTlydD_D7_w8Qfv80mB-wzh-A78uGiyQLBtk2iBPbf58yFZnoUsDTZmfys9ReGJdCMcWFCVf6l3FFCboYE/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="470" data-original-width="754" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu8rMlskSCJK3chyBV2Wh9KGc6VcjhmjRFVY0epQcJjtBx5LrY2mhoST8DjzLTlydD_D7_w8Qfv80mB-wzh-A78uGiyQLBtk2iBPbf58yFZnoUsDTZmfys9ReGJdCMcWFCVf6l3FFCboYE/w400-h249/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsk1hRpDOkV-42AHBQFeJ-zeSs4tZGAYW33sX6fK3Fb4nenZnECV7dnvYq5J2iVPXGqIuQ_akJzq0mf1b98XRmqTi8mNXsuLkxXrmtsQMSgFXdynkx3F_qtq2U29JBddl75nFVYeN4cSWe/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="145" data-original-width="450" height="129" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsk1hRpDOkV-42AHBQFeJ-zeSs4tZGAYW33sX6fK3Fb4nenZnECV7dnvYq5J2iVPXGqIuQ_akJzq0mf1b98XRmqTi8mNXsuLkxXrmtsQMSgFXdynkx3F_qtq2U29JBddl75nFVYeN4cSWe/w400-h129/image.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div>Brian Keith O'Harahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10825703273375439558noreply@blogger.com2
