MERCHANT HARRISON
OF Eleventh Street Tells Sad Tale or
Herman G. GrOSbY-HOw He Stole
the old Mans Daughter and
Abused aud Beat Her-Jumped the
City and Now in st. LOuis-The Pub
Tic Warned

The pathetic attempt of an honest Hebrew,
past middle age, to head off the swindling
operations Of former son-in-law is the sub
ject matter of this article.
The complainant's name is Jacob Harri-
son, 1901 Eleventh street southeast. where
he conducts a clothing establishment. The
ex-sou-in-law is one Herman G. Crosby, aud
here is Mr., Harrisou's statement of how his
good samaritan actions in behalf of Crosby
we're rewarded with the basest ingratitude
and the almost ruin Of his quiet and peace
ful home,
This uian Crosby" began Mr. Harrison,
lis fake doctor. He is now operating in
St. Louis aud want the GLOBE to save my
people and the general public from his
Vaccinations. The Iez0iM Voice of St
Louis, will be sent copy of your paper if
you expose him"
Proceed, Mr. Harrison} replied the
GLOBE man ''and state the facts.
THE facts are these, sir, and they are
dark enough. When / FIRST became ac.
quainted with him in this city in 1899 after
the death of my wife aud while was over

and faulty under false preteuces. paid
little attention to him being absorbed with

ingratiated himself with the members of
my family, however, and to my additional
grief discovered that he had won the af.
fections OF my youngest daug hter To pre-
vent anything worse that might happen
saw my daughter married to him with much
misgiyings. He soon demonstrated that he
was all and worse than suspected him Of
being He came home late at nights in
toxicated abused my poor daughter He
beat aud bruelly nisused her and having
obtained money by false pretenses, stealing
my cash, pilferiug from the cash drawer and
rausunkine the house for valuables
finally made him leave and my daugh ter
secured a divorce in the Supreme Court of
the District from the worthless wretch.
II now feel it my duty to warn the good
people Of St. Louis, among whom I under
stand he is practicing medicine. He is a
fake doctor, and has no legal standing TO
practice medicine. He graduated here from
the Howard University, colored institu.
ton, and secured diploma by scheming
and misre presentation. He was expelled
from the medical department of the Colum-
bia University for presenting forged certi6-
Gates from Cincinnati college.
He skipped this city to avoid taking the
medlcai DOaru examination, which ne knew
he could not pass. This man Crosby is a
Hebrew like myself, but that makes no
difference; he destroyed my daughters
happiness, ruined my home and robbed
me, hence l desire to warn the public
against him and will cheerfully furnish
additional information touching his char
acter aud actions here to any Of my people
or the public who make inquiries Of me
concerning him"
Mr.. Harrison is, as stated, respectable
merchant, and although bowed down with
grief for his daughter aud the misfortune
which overlook his home through the con
duct Of Crosby, he is still animated by the
praiseworthy and commendable spirit of an
earnest desire to prevent the same misfor-
tune from overtaking other innocent peo
pie at the hands of this adventurer and fake
doctor.
