The Book of
ALBERTUS
the
PROPHET

Now it came to pass in those days that
the great Spirit decended on Mary the
mother Of Angles Alhertus and she was
endowed with the gift of clarvoyancy
and the gift of spirit power, and at this
time she became with child and bore
son and called the child Angles Albertus
and he also became gifted and endOw ed
from his birth with the power to fortell
with great powers-to change the
thoughts and intentions of mems minds.
These good people were known in
England as Quakers belonging to the
Society OF Friends and spake as they
are moved by the Spirit.
The mother of Angles the son of Alber-
tus name became known throughout the
land for the truthful sayings and she was
sought by the rich. The king and queen
Of England desired to see her and hear
her speak the truth of illumination, from
the great gilt she was inspired with
words of wisdom. The king and queen
of England. Albert Edward the husband
of Queen Victoria marvelled at her wis
dom and was astounded at the great
secrets OF the court that she told, and
the people were besides themselves.
She the mother of Albertus foretold that
the good king would soon pass away
Many, Many years, and she would never
marry again and it was so. Now it
came to the ears OF Lord Palmerson,
VIM. Ewart Gladstone and the chief
justice OF England, and sent for Mary
the mother OF Angles and she was moved
by the Spirit to speak Of the future and
they were much moved by the truth
which she spoke to them. The good
Queen Victoria decreed upon the mother
Of Albertus the Royal Degree of Freedom
to speak unto the people as she was
moved by the Spirit and unto her decen.
dants for ever. And it is so now when
Angles Albertus was yet small child,
he was endowed with the gift Of pro-
phesey and power. The good queen
hearing of his wonderful power sum-
moned him before her-that che might

Police Inquiry on Croker
Death is Finished.
NEGRO'S STORY BELIEVED
Richard Croker, Jr., Went from New
York to Kansas and Got the Body
Of Herbert V. Croker, Who Died
Suddenly on Train.


Kansas City, May l5.-The police
have completed their investigation Of
the visit Of Herbert Y. Croker, son Of
Richard Croker, former New York Tam
many leader, to an opium resort and
to North End saloons preceding his
death IN an Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe train near Newton, Kan. Friday
morning, and unless the relatives Of
young Croker request it, no further ac-
tion on the case will be taken by the
Kansas City police.
Charles Wilson, negro porter at the
Coates hotel, who accompanied Croker
70 the opium den and later put him on
q train, was released from Jail yester-
day.
Richard Croker, Jr., passed through
Kansas City Sunday on the way to
Newton to get the body of his BROTH
er, which viii be taken at once to New
York. Two detectives met Richard
Croker, Jr., at the station and told him
the particulars of his brothers visit
to Kansas City. Croker asked If it
could be possible that his brother had
been murdered, and when told that the
results Of the investigation did not iusti-
by that belief, he intimated that he
would take the body to New York at
once and that no further investigation
Of the case would be requested
Croker said that his brother left New
York with 800 and that his family did
NOT know that he intended to stop at
Kansas City. A man, said to be d
brother of Lewis Nixon, was with Crok-
er Cfoker's companion said that Her
bert Croker was secretiye man and
did not take his parents nor his broth
ers into bis confidence and that it was
not surprising that he did not give ont
his identity in Kansas City. He said
that Herbert Croker had frequently left
home without telling his family Of his
intended destination and that HE never
exploited his identity anywhere. Chief
of Police Hayes said
Il am convinced that young Croker
Suet with no violence oF foul paly in
Kansas City. We have run down every
clew, and our search has always brought
Us back to the story told by the negro
porter which think is right. On this
account | ordered the release OF the
porter. In my opinion Croker came to
Kansas City Friday morning. probably
on the Santa Fe train, which reaches
here at 1880. lie went to the Coates
house and thence to the races. He re-
turned from the track in the evening.
and was then taken Ia tow hy the
negro.
We have investigated the story that
Croker won 5000 on The races and was
robbed afterwards, and have been un-
able to verify it. / think the negro
told the truth when tie said that Crok-
er had only a $50 bill. The case has
now been dimissed, and nothing more
will be done, unless the relatives ask
