# Simpson v. Weeks (1977)

Plaintiff Simpson was a Little Rock police lieutenant with an exemplary record and a bright future. Defendants Weeks et al. were his superiors. The defendants believed that Simpson had secretly fed information to the attorneys for the plaintiffs in an ongoing lawsuit against the police department. Convinced that he was a snitch, the defendants began punishing Simpson, for example, by demoting him to night jailer.
District Judge Terry Lee Shell heard testimony and argument and ultimately found in favor of Simpson. In addition to a declaratory judgment, the court enjoined the defendants from further punishing Simpson, and the court ordered that he be returned to his previous position in the department. Finally, the court granted (nominal) compensatory damages of three dollars and punitive damages of six thousand dollars. On appeal, the district court's decision was affirmed in part, as to defendants Weeks and Terry, and reversed and vacated as to defendant Parkman. Simpson v. Weeks, 570 F.2d 240 (8th Cir. 1978).
The defendants were represented by John I. Purtle, who was soon after elected to the Arkansas Supreme Court (1978–1989).

United States Supreme Court
50 U.S. 578
Simpson v. United States
This is a writ of error, under the eighth section of the act of Congress passed February 22, 1847, to bring up the judgment of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida for review.
The indictment upon which the prisoner was convicted was founded upon the act of Congress passed March 2, 1831, and the case, as appears from the record, agrees in all respects with the case of Forsyth v. The United States, just decided, and to the opinion in which we refer for our judgment in this case.
The motion on behalf of the Attorney-General to dismiss the writ of error for want of jurisdiction is denied, and the judgment of the court below reversed, and the proceedings remitted to the court, with direction to quash the indictment and discharge the prisoner from his recognizance, or imprisonment, as the case may be.
This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of the record from the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of Florida, and was argued by counsel. On consideration whereof, it is now here ordered and adjudged by this court, that the judgment of the said District Court in this cause be, and the same is hereby, reversed and annulled, for the want of jurisdiction in that court, and that this cause be, and the same is hereby, remanded to the said District Court, with directions to quash the indictment and discharge the prisoner.

GREGORY GRANT, Esq. [Commander.]
Was made a lieutenant in 1795; and appears, by James’s Naval History, to have been wounded in an action with the Cadiz flotilla, while serving in the boats of the Prince George 98, July 3d, 1797. He was promoted to his present rank from the Royal Oak 74, in Oct. 1810; appointed to the Drake sloop, on the Heligoland station. Mar. 12th, 1812; and subsequently sent to Jamaica.
# Royal Naval Biography/Grant, Richard

SIR RICHARD GRANT, Knt. [Captain of 1828.]
Was made a lieutenant in Oct. 1805; but we find no further mention made of him previous to June 1813, when he was appointed first of the Blenheim 74, Captain Samuel Warren. He subsequently served under Captain Edward Pelham Brenton, in the Royal Sovereign of 100 guns; and as first of the Tonnant 80, bearing the flag of Sir Benjamin Hallowell, on the Irish station. His commission as commander bears date Nov. 7th, 1818; and he appears to have obtained the honor of knighthood, on the presentation, we believe, of a civic address, in the summer of 1820. On the 17th of May, 1827, he was appointed to the Hussar 46, Captain Edward Boxer, bearing the flag of Sir Charles Ogle, on the Halifax station; and, at ​the expiration of twelve months from that period, promoted to the command of the Tyne 28, which ship he paid off, at Portsmouth, June 11th, 1830.

Passed his examination in Oct. 1809; and was made a lieutenant, into the Eagle 74, Captain (now Sir Charles) Rowley, Dec. 13th following. The manner in which he was subsequently employed, will be seen on reference to Vol. I. Part II. p. 673, et seq, and Vol. III. Part I. p. 212, et seq. His promotion to the rank of commander took place May 26th, 1814.

JAMES GRANT, Esq. [Commander.]
In 1800 and the two following years, this officer, then a lieutenant, commanded the Lady Nelson, alias “His Majesty’s TinderBox,” a brig of only 60 tons burthen, fitted with sliding keels, and employed on a voyage of discovery in the southern hemisphere. The published narrative of his proceedings includes remarks on the Cape Verd Islands, the Cape of Good Hope, and that part of New Holland opposite to Van Diemen’s Land; various details of his interviews with the natives of New South Wales; observations on the soil, natural productions, &c. of that country; an account of the then state of Falkland Islands; observations on the origin and utility of sliding keels, &c. &c. He obtained his present rank on the 12th Jan. 1805; and a pension for wounds received in action with the enemy, the present amount of which is £150 per annum, Jan. 23d, 1806. We subsequently find him commanding the Raven and Thracian, sloops.

ANDREW PELLET GREEN, Esq. Knight of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order, and of the Swedish Military Order of the Sword. [Post-Captain of 1814.]
This officer was made lieutenant in Aug. 1800; and he appears to have served under the late Sir Thomas Francis Freemantle, in the Ganges 74, and Neptune 98, at the battles of Copenhagen and Trafalgar, April 2, 1801, and Oct. 21, 1805. His commission as commander bears date Feb. 1, 1812. During the ensuing winter he was very actively employed in the Shamrock brig, on the Downs station.
In April 1813, the Shamrock was placed under the orders of Captain John M‘Kerlie, who had previously been sent to direct the operations of the Heligoland squadron. The manner ​
* ↑ The first broadside fired by the Neptune, shot away the main and mizen-masts of the Bucentaure 80, bearing Villeneuve’s flag, and doubtless killed and wounded many of her crew. After passing under that ship’s stern, Captain Freemantle hauled up, and soon found himself in a similar position a-stern of the huge Santissima Trinidada, whose main and mizen-masts likewise came down with a tremendous crash, just as the Leviathan was in the act of seconding a fire which her leader had so successfully opened [ See p. 180. ]. The Neptune then luffed up alongside the Spanish 4-decker, while the Conqueror kept up a distant fire upon her to-windward. The fore-mast of the Spaniard soon shared the fate of the others, and she lay an unmanageable wreck upon the water. At this moment Captain Freemantle had his attention suddenly called off by the movement that was making in the enemies’ van, some of the ships of which, on bearing up, raked the Neptune, and caused the principal part of the damage and loss which she sustained in the action. Her masts were all more or less injured, and her standing and running rigging much cut; she received nine shot between wind and water: 10 of her crew were killed, and 34 wounded.

# Simplified Scientific Astrology/Introduction

THE PRACTICAL VALUE OF ASTROLOGY
THERE is a side of the Moon which we never see. but that hidden half is as potent a factor in causing the ebb and flow of the earth’s tide, as the part of the Moon which is visible. Similarly, there is an invisible part of man which exerts a powerful influence in life, and as the tides are measured by the motion of the Sun and Moon, so also the eventualities of existence are measured by the circling stars,which may therefore be called the “Clock of Destiny,” and knowledge of their import is an immense power,for to the competent astrologer the horoscope reveals every secret of life.
Thus, when you have given an astrologer the data of your birth, you have given him the key to your innermost soul, and there is no secret that he may not ferret out. This knowledge may be used for good or ill, to help or hurt, according to the nature of the man. Only a tried friend should be trusted with this key to your soul, and it should never be given to any one base enough to prostitute a spiritual science for material gain.
To the medical man Astrology is invaluable in diagnosing diseases and prescribing a remedy, for it ​reveals the hidden cause of all ailments. This phase of the science is dealt with in “The Message of the Stars,” giving numerous horoscopes to show how the signatures of various diseases appear in the stellar script. The writer diagnoses unerringly by this method the ailments of patients all over the world and love will light the way for others also who aim to follow in the steps of Christ as healers of the sick.
If you are a parent the horoscope will aid you to detect the evil latent in your child and teach you how to apply the ounce of prevention. It will show you the good points also, that you may make a better man or woman of the soul entrusted to your care. It will reveal systemic weakness and enable you to guard the health of your child; it will show what talents are there, and how the life may be lived to a maximum of usefulness. Therefore, the message of the marching orbs is most important, and as we have shown the great danger of giving birth data to anyone else, there remains only one course: To study the science yourself,
This book and the simplified method it contains of casting a horoscope in a thoroughly scientific manner is published in order to enable anyone who can add and subtract to do the work himself, instead of relying on others. Thus he will obtain a deeper knowledge of the causes which are operative in life than any professional astrologer who is a stranger can give.

# Songs and Sonnets (Coleman)/No Grief for Me

NO GRIEF FOE ME.
No grief for me, or vain regret; Remember what was good, The things for which I stood; The rest—forget!
Remember, though the way was long And cumbersome the load, I tried to take the road With jest and song.
And though my days were sometimes spent In loneliness apart, I bore a soldier's heart, Fearless, content.
Remember all that made me glad, The flowers that used to bloom Within the little room, The joys I had.
The blessings manifold and dear With which life was inwrought, The hidden wells of thought— The hopes, the cheer.
Remember these, my love, and let My memory remain Untouched of grief or pain; The rest—forget!
# Songs and Sonnets (Coleman)/Not on a Chosen Day

NOT ON A CHOSEN DAY.
Not in the lingering caress Doth love its purest rapture gain, Words have no power to express Our highest flights of joy or pain.
The soul in quietness alone Attains the hidden source of power, The truth most deeply of us known Comes in the solitary hour.
Nor is it on a chosen day Shall dawn the gift that satisfies, But in its own dear time and way And with the sweetness of surprise.
'Tis when the heart is least aware That Beauty softly steals within, To call us from our dwarfing care And make us to herself akin.
Nor can we ever at our will Evoke the higher vision true, But we can listen and be still And let the Infinite shine through.
# Songs and Sonnets (Coleman)/O Summer Days

O SUMMER DAYS.
O Summer Days, how shall we part! To thee I gave mine inmost heart. Swift to thy call have been my feet, I loved thy raptures and thy heat; Thy sunsets and thy evening star Have beckoned from their deeps afar. Thy winds have taught me to forget— O Summer Days, not yet, not yet! Thy veery's oft-repeated note And oriole's song I've learned by rote, Thy nights have filled me with content, Thy dawns were as a sacrament. The silence of thy forest ways Has given peace to troubled days, And all thy lovely, leafy things Have brought the joy a comrade brings. Beneath thy dome of tender blue I've learned to measure life anew; The absent hope, the lost desire Urge me again to something higher, And Beauty with her mystic gleam Has waked again the old-time dream And charmed away the vain regret— O Summer Days, not yet, not yet!
# Songs and Sonnets (Coleman)/My Roses

MY ROSES.
Glowing, passionate, perfect, Crimson fold on fold, Packed with that exquisite beauty Only a rose can hold— Under the velvet petals Hints of hidden gold.
(And oh! the swift enchantment, Half pain, half ecstasy, When Beauty for a moment Turns and looks our way— In her eyes the haunting Old, sweet mystery!)
Others saw my roses, Thought them lovely too, Praised their form and fragrance, Marvelled at their hue— Others loved my roses— 'Twas only I that knew!
'Twas only I that fathomed Their innermost hearts of flame, To me alone their beauty A sacrament became— To me alone they whispered The secret of your name!
# Songs and Sonnets (Coleman)/Neighbors

NEIGHBORS.
All day within the mine's deep grave The heat and dust and gloom he bore Right valiantly, a willing slave, To win—a little heap of ore!
His neighbor on the hill-top stood To feel the winds blow on his face, Or roamed within the silent wood, Lost in the beauty of the place.
Of Nature's handicraft a few Frail blossoms gathered by the way, Some grasses and a shell or two Were all he had at close of day.
Adjudge, ye wise, which of the twain On that sweet summer day won most; How shall we measure loss or gain— On what achievement make our boast?
O, is there not a place for each? One wins his soul by sweat of brow, Another by the inward reach,— And God hath need of both, I trow.
# Songs and Sonnets (Coleman)/Night Among the Thousand Islands

NIGHT AMONG THE THOUSAND ISLANDS.
Mysterious falls the moon's transforming light On lichen-covered rock and granite wall, Comes piercing through the hollows of the night The loon's weird, plaintive call.
Like some great regiment upon the shore The stalwart pines go trooping up the hill, And faintly in the distance o'er and o'er Echoes the whip-poor-will.
Like silhouettes the dreaming islands keep Their silent watches, mirrored in the tide, While in their labyrinthine aisles some deep, Still mystery seems to hide.
From out the shadows dim against the sky Come stealing shadow-ships not made of men, Faint phantom-barques that slowly drifting by Are swallowed up again.
While silently beneath, the river flows, Unfathomed, dark, a great resistless tide, Within its bosom deep the virgin snows From many a mountain-side.
And, drifting with the current, how we feel The haunting witchery of Beauty's spell! The world we left behind seems all unreal, Where such enchantments dwell.
The vexing cares that overfill our days Slip stealthily away, and we are wooed Back to the healing, half-forgotten ways Of peace and solitude.
# Songs and Sonnets (Coleman)/Not by Nature's Door

NOT BY NATURE'S DOOR.
How often in some vexed or restless mood Have I gone forth to nature, seeking there Surcease from wounded pride or petty care, And thought the flowing stream or shady wood And large, impartial calms of solitude Would be as arms unseen to lift me where My soul should catch a loftier, purer air— But O, how little have I understood!
For not by doors of nature or of sense, However fair, however dear they be, Has come that deep desirèd influence That most reveals and proves myself to me; There is a narrower pathway leading hence For him who would from tyrant self be free.
# Songs and Sonnets (Coleman)/Mother-born

MOTHER-BORN.
Since fate hath given thee no child To lie within thine arm, That by its presence undefiled Should keep thy soul from harm,
If thou wert truly mother-born Thou would'st have played the part, And found some little one forlorn To fold within thy heart.
# Songs and Sonnets (Coleman)/Night

NIGHT.
Who hath not in the silences of night Been humbled by the mystery that lies Along the vaulted pathway of the skies? And in the consciousness that worlds of light Their steadfast courses keep beyond our sight, Heard yet again the voice within that cries To every fettered soul, bidding it rise With arms outstretched towards the Infinite?
Upon the threshold of these large, unknown, Unlighted chambers of the night we kneel, And, emptied of the day, contrite, alone, The presence of some sentient Power within The magnitudes of space we dimly feel To which the finite spirit is akin.
# Songs and Sonnets (Coleman)/On Mount Pilatus

ON MOUNT PILATUS.
I stood on Mount Pilatus, freshly crowned In all the splendor of new-fallen snow, And heard the bells of myriad flocks below, Filling the valleys with mysterious sound: Enchanting cadences, that lingering wound Among the dreaming hills, elusive, slow, And bearing in the liquid ebb and flow An elemental music, faint, profound.
And I have wondered if the joy and pain, The happy laughter and the anguished sighs, So strangely blended in our lives, attain Consistency and sweetness as they rise, And, woven to one pure, ethereal strain, Make harmony beyond the tranquil skies.
