# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Schmidel, Ulrich

Edition of 1900.
​SCHMIDEL, Ulrich (shmee'-del), German historian, b. in Straubingen, Bavaria, about 1511; d. there about 1570. He was the son of a wealthy merchant, and received a good education, but entered the military service, and enlisted in the expedition of Pedro de Mendoza as an arquebusier. He also accompanied Juan de Ayolas on his first trip in quest of provisions, and afterward went with Ayolas in his expedition up Paraguay river, and was one of the soldiers that were left with Domingo Irala (q. v.) in charge of the vessels in the port of Candelaria. When Cabeza de Vaca was ​deposed in April, 1544, Schmidel sustained Irala, who was the new governor, and in 1546 accompanied him in his expedition to Peru as far as the foot of the Andes, where he was despatched with Nuño de Chaves to President La Gasca. He accompanied Irala on his last unfortunate expedition of 1550, and, hearing in 1552 of the death of his elder brother, to whose estate he was to succeed, he obtained his discharge. In Seville he presented to the council of the Indies letters from Irala with the report of his discoveries, and arrived toward the close of 1554 in Straubingen, where he afterward resided. He had kept a diary during his wanderings, and wrote an interesting narrative of his adventures under the title of “Wahre Geschichte einer merkwürdigen Reise, gemacht durch Ulrich Schmidel von Straubingen, in America oder der Neuen Welt, von 1534 bis 1554, wo man findet alle seine Leiden in 19 Jahren, und die Beschreibung der Länder und merkwürdigen Völker die er gesehen, von ihm selbst geschrieben” (Frankfort, 1557), of which a Latin version appeared in Nuremberg in 1599 as “Vera historia,” etc. Henry Ternaux-Compans has also published a translation of the work in his “Voyages, relations et mémoires,” and Barcia in his “Historiadores primitivos de Indias.” Schmidel is certainly the first historian of the Argentine, and his narrative is valuable, as it gives the names and tells of the habits and manner of living of many Indian nations that were extinct a century later.

# Bold Lovell

This edition was transcribed from the recording by Roy Harris on his album Champions of Folly (Topic Records 12TS 256); Martin Carthy used to sing the same version. It came originally from A. L. Lloyd, who himself derived it from the Green Mountain Songster.
As Lovell was out riding out across the misty mountains, Two merchants, two merchants, their money they was counting; He reached for his pistol, and he never gave them warning, He robbed them of their money and he bade them both good morning:
Chorus:
    Oh, the devil's in the women so they say,
    But how the devil can a fellow let them be?
He went to a public house and counted out his money; He called on the landlady to bring forth pretty Polly. But while they was talking, and thinking of no matter, She stole away his pistol and she filled it up with water:
As Lovell and Polly were taking their sweet pleasure, In walked the troopers, saying, "Lovell, you must leave her! For a long time you've been riding on the road to the gallows, So some along with us young man and be a decent fellow."
He reached for his pistols but they wouldn't fire for water; They lathered him well and gave to him no quarter. Polly, she cried, "If I'd known that they was coming, I'd have fought them like a tiger, love, although I am a woman."
"I have two brothers and they're both in the Marines; One of them's at Chatham and the other one's at sea. Bold, brisk and lively lads, and champions of folly; I'd rather they was here today than you deceitful Polly."
As Lovell was climbing up that old gallows ladder, He called out so gaily for his highway cap and feather: "Well, I've always been a lively lad, but never murdered any; I think it bloody hard to swing for liftin' a bit of money!"

# Bold Robert Emmet

also see Robert Emmet
The struggle is over, the boys are defeated,
Old Ireland's surrounded with sadness and gloom,
We were defeated and shamefuIIy treated,
And I, Robert Emmet, awaiting my doom.
Hung, drawn and quartered, sure that was my sentence,
But soon I will show them no coward am I.
My crime is the love of the land I was born in,
A hero I lived and a hero I'll die.
Chorus:
Bold Robert Emmet, the darling of Ireland,
Bold Robert Emmet will die with a smile,
Farewell companions both loyal and daring,
I'll lay down my life for the Emerald Isle.
The barque lay at anchor awaiting to bring me
Over the billows to the land of the free;
But I must see my sweetheart for I know she will cheer me,
And with her I will sail far over the sea.
But I was arrested and cast into prison,
Tried as a traitor, a rebel, a spy;
But no man can call me a knave or a coward,
A hero I lived and a hero I'll die.
Chorus
Hark! I the bell's tolling, I well know its meaning,
My poor heart tells me it is my death knell;
In come the clergy, the warder is leading,
I have no friends here to bid me farewell.
Goodbye, old Ireland, my parents and sweetheart,
Companions in arms to forget you must try;
I am proud of the honour, it was only my duty
A hero I lived and a hero I'll die.
Chorus
# Bold Robin Hood

Broadside edition in the Toronto Public Library's Osborne Collection
❋ Bold Robin Hood. ❋
BOLD Robin Hood ranged the forest all round
 The forest all round ranged he,
And there he did meet with a gay lady,
 Come weeping along the highway.
Oh why do you weep, my gay lady,
 Do you weep for gold or fee?
Oh why do you weep for any thing else,
 That was taken from any body?
I do not weep for gold she said,
 Nor do I weep for any fee,
Nor do I weep for any thing else,
 That was stolen from any body.
Then why do you weep, said Jolly Robin,
 I pray come tell unto me,
Why I do weep for my three sons,
 For they're all condemned to die.
What church have they robbed said Jolly Robin,
 Or what parish priest have they slain.
What maid have they forced against her own will
 Or with other men's wives have they lain
No church have they robbed, the lady replied
 Nor no parish priest have they slain,
No maid have they forced against her own will,
 Or with other men's wives have they lain.
Then what have they done said Jolly Robin
 I pray come tell unto me,
They have killed 16 of the kings fallow deer,
 And they're all condemned to die.
O go your ways said Jolly Robin,
 Go your ways home said he,
And I will go to fair Nottingham town,
 For the sake of the squires all three.
Then Robin Hood went to fair Nottingham
 To fair Nottingham went he,
And there did he meet with an old begger man,
 Come weeping all on tbe highway.
What news, what news my old begger man
 What news hast thou brought unto me
There's weeping and wailing in fair Nottingham
 For the sake of the squires all three.
The old beggar man had a coat on his back
 That was patched both yellow and red.
And Robin Hood thought it would be no disgrace
 To dress in the beggar man's dress.
Robin Hood went to fair Nottingham,
 To fair Nottingham town went he,
And there he did meet with the master sheriffs
 Likewise the squires all three.
One boon, one boon says Jolly Robin,
 One boon I beg on my knee,
That is for the three squires sake,
 There hangman I might be.
Soon granted, soon granted says the master sheriff,
 Soon granted unto thee,
And you shall have their gay clothing,
 And all their white money.
I'll have none of their gay clothing,
 Nor none of their white money,
But I'd have three blasts of my bugle horn
 As their souls into heaven may flee.
Then Robin Hood mounted the gallows so high
He  blew both loud and shrill,
Ten hundred and ten of bold Robin Hoods men,
 Came tripping all down the green hill.
Whose men are all these said the master sheriff,
 I pray thee come tell unto me,
Why they are all mine, and none of them thine.
 For they are come for the squires all three.
Go take them, go take them says the master sheriff,
 Go take them along with thee,
There's never a man in fair Nottingham
 Shall borrow three more of me.

MR. JUSTICE BLACKMUN, concurring.
I join the Court's per curiam opinion and judgment. I do so, however, only after some initial hesitation, for there is force in MR. JUSTICE POWELL's dissent when it stresses that the unanimous judgment of four courts is being overturned and that the trier of fact in the state post-conviction procedure decided the factual issues against the petitioner.
A reading of the post-conviction transcript, however, persuades me that the petitioner was utterly lost at that proceeding; that his assertion that favorable witnesses existed was frustrated because he did not know how to compel their attendance and received no assistance in this respect; and that the development of the material facts leaves something to be desired and falls somewhat short of the standards laid down in Townsend v. Sain, 372 U.S. 293, 313 (1963). When a 20-year-old who [p4] claims he could not read or write (although he apparently was able to sign his name to the petition in the present proceeding) receives four consecutive seven-year sentences, totaling 28 years, for forging three checks within a fortnight in the respective amounts of $45, $45, and $40, and for possessing a forged check in the amount of $10, his post-conviction hearing, for me and on balance, must clearly meet those standards. Certainly, the appointment of counsel is indicated.

Boyd v. Janesville Hay-Tool Company
John M. Boyd filed a bill in the circuit court of the United States for the Western district of Wisconsin against the Janesville Hay-Tool Company and its officers, charging the defendants with infringement of letters patent granted the complainant, numbered as No. 300,687, and dated June 17, 1884, for an improvement in hay elevator and carrier.
The answer denied that complainant was the original and first inventor, and alleged anticipating patents, prior knowledge and use by others, and that defendants have made and sold hay carriers in accordance with patent No. 279,889, granted June 19, 1883, to F. B. Strickler.
There was a general replication; evidence was put in; on November 9, 1888, a decree was entered dismissing the bill of complaint (37 Fed. 887), and from this decree an appeal was taken to this court.

Where the material facts bearing upon the issue of whether petitioner, charged with four felonies, knowingly and voluntarily waived his constitutional right to counsel before entering a guilty plea in the state trial court, were inadequately developed in a state court post-conviction hearing, the Federal District Court considering a habeas corpus petition was under a duty to hold an evidentiary hearing.

* Court Documents

* Dissenting Opinions White Powell
MR. JUSTICE WHITE, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE joins, dissenting.
There is no suggestion that either the trial court accepting petitioner's plea of guilty or the state court denying habeas corpus employed an erroneous legal standard in proceeding as it did. On this record we may "properly assume that the state trier of fact applied standards of federal law to the facts, in the absence of evidence... that there is reason to suspect that an incorrect standard was in fact applied." Townsend v. Sain, 372 U.S. 293, 315 (1963). And in participating in our appellate function and acting on the cold record before us, I cannot presume greater insight into petitioner's understanding of his rights, his waiver of counsel, and his plea of guilty and the habeas corpus court that heard petitioner and the other evidence. According to the undisputed evidence as to the circumstances surrounding the plea, petitioner stated that he waived counsel, admitted that he was guilty, and accordingly entered his plea. Like MR. JUSTICE POWELL, I think the judgment of the state court was fairly supported by the evidence. The petition for writ of certiorari having been granted, I would affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
# Brooke v. City of Norfolk/Opinion of the Court

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
277 U.S. 27
Brooke v. City of Norfolk
Argued: April 10 and 11, 1928. --- Decided: April 23, 1928
The petitioner applied in the local form of proceeding for the correction of two assessments for taxation alleged to be erroneous and contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court of first instance, the Corporation Court of the City of Norfolk, upheld both assessments as valid, and the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia rejected a petition for a writ of error on the ground that the judgment below was plainly right. A writ of certiorari was granted by this Court. 247 U.S. 734, 47 S.C.t. 767, 71 L. Ed. 1335.
The assessments complained of were for City and State taxes upon the corpus of a trust fund created by the will of a citizen of Maryland resident in baltimore at the time of her death. This will bequeathed to the Safe Deposit & Trust Company of Baltimore $80,000 in trust to pay the income to the petitioner for life, then to her daughters for their lives, and, upon the death of the last survivor, to divide the principal between the descendants then living of the daughters per stirpes. The will was proved in Maryland and in 1914 was admitted to probate in the Corporation Court of Norfolk as a foreign will. The property held in trust has remained in Maryland and no part of it is or ever has been in Virginia.
The petitioner has paid without question a tax upon the income received by her. But the doctrine contended for now is that the petitioner is chargeable as if she owned the whole. No doubt in the case of tangible property lying within the State and subject to a paramount lien for taxes, the occupant actually using it may be made personally liable. Illinois Central R. R. Co. v. Kentucky, 218 U.S. 551, 562, 31 S.C.t. 95, 54 L. Ed. 1147; Carstairs v. Cochran, 193 U.S. 10, 16, 24 S.C.t. 318, 48 L. Ed. 596. But here the property is not within the State, does not belong to the petitioner and is not within her possession or control. The assessment is a bare proposition to make the petitioner pay upon an interest to which she is a stranger. This cannot be done. See Wachovia Bank & Trust Co. v. Doughton, 272 U.S. 567, 575, 47 S.C.t. 202, 71 L. Ed. 413.
Judgment reversed.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Waite, Charles Burlingame

Edition of 1889.
​WAITE, Charles Burlingame, jurist, b. in Wayne county, N. Y., 29 Jan., 1824. He was educated at Knox college, Ill., studied law at Galesburg and Rock Island, and was admitted to the bar in 1847. After fifteen years' successful practice, chiefly in Chicago, he was appointed by President Lincoln in 1862 associate justice of the supreme court of Utah. In 1865 he resigned this post and became district attorney of Idaho, and a year later he returned to Chicago, since which time he has devoted himself to literary pursuits. Judge Waite has published a “History of the Christian Religion to the Year A. D. 200” (Chicago, 1881), and made numerous contributions to the press on suffrage and other politico-legal questions. — His wife, Catharine Van Valkenburg, author, b. in Dumfries, Canada West, in 1829, was graduated at Oberlin in 1853, and married Mr. Waite the next year. In 1859 she established Hyde Park seminary. She is a graduate of the Union college of law and a member of the Illinois bar. In 1886 she founded the “Chicago Law Times,” a quarterly magazine, of which she is the editor. Mrs. Waite is active in all movements for the advancement of her sex. At the International council of women at Washington she was elected president of the Woman's international bar association, 26 March, 1888. She is chief manager of the publishing-firm of C. V. Waite and Co., and has published “The Mormon Prophet and his Harem” (Cambridge, 1865).
