# The Gates of Nineveh

First published in Weird Tales, July 1928
These are the gates of Nineveh: here Sargon came when his wars were won Gazed at the turrets looming clear Boldly etched in the morning sun
Down from his chariot Sargon came Tossed his helmet upon the sand Dropped his sword with its blade like flame Stroked his beard with his empty hand
"Towers are flaunting their banners red The people greet me with song and mirth But a weird is on me," Sargon said "And I see the end of the tribes of earth"
"Cities crumble, and chariots rust I see through a fog that is strange and gray All kingly things fade back to the dust Even the gates of Nineveh"

# Girl

Gods, what a handsome youth across the way.  What shall I do to make him notice me? I must not be too obvious—there  I'll shift my dress, demurely and let him see A quick glance of an ankle very trim;  Then blush and smooth my skirts down hastily As if 'twere unintentional—Hell!  The fool's not even got his eyes on me.

# The Harp of Alfred

First published in Weird Tales, September 1928
I heard the harp of Alfred As I went o'er the downs, When thorn-trees stood at even Like monks in dusky gowns; I heard the music Guthrum heard Beside the wasted towns:
When Alfred, like a peasant, Came harping down the hill, And the drunken danes made merry With the man they sought to kill, And the Saxon king laughed in their beards And bent them to his will.
I heard the harp of Alfred As the twilight waned to night; I heard ghost armies tramping As the dim stars flamed white; And Guthrum walked at my left hand, And Alfred at my right.

# The New York Times/1911/01/22/Poison Mother Gave Killed Ocey Snead

Ocey Snead (1885-1909) in the New York Times on January 22, 1911.
Poison Mother Gave Killed Ocey Snead.
Real Story of Crime Told in Newark Court When Question of Sentences Is Argued. No Premeditation Shown. Gave Morphine to Ease Pain and Fled When Death Came. Woman's Counsel Makes Plea for Mercy.
The real story of the death of Ocey W. M. Snead, whose body was found in a bathtub of an East Orange house in November, 1909, was told yesterday when argument was heard before Judge Jay Ten Eyck in the Court of Oyer and Terminer in Newark as to what sentence should be passed on Mrs. Caroline B. Martin, who recently pleaded non vult to manslaughter in causing the death of Mrs. Snead, who was her daughter. Samuel Kalish, counsel for Mrs. Martin and Prosecutor Wilbur Mott explained to the court why the plea of non vult had been offered and accepted. Mr. Kalish declared that while the circumstances showed that Mrs. Martin was guilty of the killing there was no evidence that the crime was premeditated. He then reviewed the history of the crime from the time the telephone message informed the deputy county physician of the death of Ocey Snead in the East Orange dwelling, the finding of the body partly submerged in the bathtub, and the presence of the suicide note attached to the woman's clothing. Morphine, in a quantity sufficient to produce narcosis, had been found in Ocey Snead's body, Mr. Kalish said, and added: Mrs. Martin never admitted these facts to us. But we are informed by Mr. Mott that during the insanity proceedings Mrs. Martin told the prosecutor that on the Saturday night preceding the death of Ocey Snead, her daughter had been in a pitiable physical condition, and that Mrs. Martin administered to her, daughter morphine for the purpose of alleviating her pain. That is where her statement stops. It is conjectured that the weakened condition of Ocey Snead was such, and that the effects of the morphine were such, that Mrs. Martin, finding her daughter in a state of narcosis, aided her daughter to the bathtub and did what every doctor says is the proper thing to do put the patient into cold water to revive her; and it is conjectured further that Ocey Snead was expiring when she got into the bathtub, and it is conjectured that Mrs. Martin, seeing what had happened, was overcome with fear, overwhelmed by the sudden death of her daughter, which was unintended that under the fear she did what a great many innocent persons would do, knowing of these suicide notes as far as I understand there were half a dozen or more in the house and elsewhere and to escape censure for doing what she legally had no right to do that is, administer a drug, as deadly as morphine, where she should have called in medical assistance — left the house, and before going pinned the suicide note upon the waist, which was found in the bathroom. That also accounts for her going to New York to different hotels and giving assumed names and accounts for the many things that Mrs. Martin did. Judge Ten Eyck announcement that he would probably sentence Mrs. Martin tomorrow morning.
# Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen/Appendix A

Appendix A.
[From San Francisco Chronicle, Monday, Sept. 5 1887.]
The government of the Sandwich Islands appears to have passed from the hands of the king into the hands of a military oligarchy that is more domineering than Kalakaua ever was. Before the recent revolt of the Europeans in Honolulu the press of the city was very plain-spoken. It printed unadorned truths about the king, and the latter made no effort to suppress such unpleasant utterances. Now, under the new régime, the newspapers are kept in check with military thoroughness. It seems incredible, but it is an actual fact, that not one of the Honolulu journals dared to reprint the comments of the American press on the so-called revolution, although such comment would have been very interesting reading to all Hawaiians. Even the reports of court procedings are dry and matter-of-fact records, very different from the ordinary accounts, In a word, the freedom of the press of Honolulu is a myth under the reform party, and the man who looks for the facts in the Honolulu journals will not find them.
# Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen/Appendix C

APPENDIX C.
Facts as to Submission of Hawaiian Question to the Decision of the United States.
By Her Majesty Liliuokalani, with the approval of the Provisional Government.
| Date of so-called Revolution, Tuesday, Jan. 17, 1893. about 6 p.m. J. O. C. being “Queen’s Councillor” and still faithful. Page 1330. Page 1317. Page 1674. Also “Alexander’s History,” Oct. 1896. Page 54. | S. B. Dole, S. M. Damon, and some twenty or thirty others sent for J. O. Carter to be of committee to be sent to palace to assist her in making any protest she desired to make against her deposition; he joined the party, headed by Mr. Damon, and advised Her Majesty that any demonstration on the part of her forces would precipitate a conflict with the forces of the United States; that it was desirable that such a conflict be avoided; that her case would be considered at Washington, and a peaceful submission to force on her part would greatly help her case. Mr. Damon had previously informed Her Majesty of her deposition, and that she might prepare a protest. Mr. Damon in his sworn statement says, “I did tell her that she would have a perfect right to be heard at a later period by the United States Government. I was there as a member of the Provisional Government.” Mr. Damon personally called on the queen at nine o’clock that forenoon and told her that |
| Page 1318. Page 1394. Page 1399. Page 1027. received at Executive office, Feb. 3, 1893. | he had decided to join the Provisional Government, and further that he was its first vice-president. He remains its minister of finance to the present date. The Provisional Government had been recognized at this time. The protest says, “I yield to the superior force of the United States of America—until such time as the Government of the United States shall, upon the facts being presented to it, undo the action of its representatives, and reinstate me in the authority which I claim as the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands.” Mr. Damon and the Cabinet returned to the Provisional Government and presented the protest; and President Dole indorsed on the same, “Received by the hands of the late Cabinet this seven teenth day of January, a.d. 1893.” After this protest, the queen surrendered her arsenal. The letter sent by the same steamer on which (January 18) the annexation commissioners sailed (the queen having been refused the privilege of placing one representative on board), says to President Harrison, “This action on my part was prompted by three reasons: The futility of a conflict with the United States; the desire to avoid violence, bloodshed, and the destruction of life and property; and the certainty which I feel that you and your government will right whatever wrongs may have been inflicted on us in the premises.” |
