The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1906-12-08

opens his book. quoting from voltaire.
And here is the way be begins:
stop thief! hereby raise the hue
and cry-stop thief
THE above extraordinary announce
ment is called forth by the cold, hard
facts about to be collected.
And his excuse for the book is this:
Now the sole and only object on
earth In bringing out this book at this
time is desperate, forlorn hope upon
the part of plaintiff to bring the crime
that Is being attempted against plain
tins property to the ear of the court
that appointed said referee, In order
that said court may prevent said
crime by setting aside the Ubiquitous
decision, as above foreshadowed, Of
said referee"
Complains of Injustice.
The book recites with bitterness
what the writer calls the injustice Of
the proceedings leading up to the judy
ment Of the New York courts and to
his Incarceration In Bloomingdale.
How Stanford White got him to
Bloomingdale is told In this wise:
II received telegram from my
friend. Mr.. Stanford White, proposing
to visit me in company with mutual
friend. AS I was on rather unfriend-
ly terms with Mr.. White at the time,
owing to an abusive letter he had re-
Gently written me, did not look for
ward to a visit from him with pleas
ure. / therefore sent him a telegram
to say that was not we'll enough to
see him. A few days later Mr.. White
walked in on me in company with a
physician. / shall not attempt to pic
ture my surprise. Let 1t suffice to say
that l was struck dumb.
"Mr. White hastily excused his in
trusion and implored me to accompany
him to New York for plunge in the
metropolitan whirl.' AS I had some
business which needed my attention in
New York consented"
OF New York Mr.. Chanler says:
I'm other words, citizen of the
state Of New York can be condemned
and imprisoned without hearing. All
that is required to deprive a citizen OF
the Empire state of his liberty is one
or two false witnesses, two dishonest
doctors and a Judge who can swallow
sworn conflicting statements without
a qualm No defense Is allowed to the
accused.
This is truly the Empire state.
sometimes wonder, as l look through
the bars of my cell, how such things
can be outside the Russian empire.
Calls on Virginia for Rescue.
Fortunately for myself, however,
l am no longer citizen of the Empire
state, but am and have been since
1895 citizen of the sovereign state
of Virginia; which title to sovereignty
propose to see Virginia make good
by rescuing me-"
Graphic automatism" he defines
thus:
I'm a word, the writing is. as the
name implies, automatic. So far-but
so far only-as conscious thought, 1
e., conscious mental action Is con
cerned, the hand does the writing
without the help of the head. In other
words, 1t is as though one had a magic
pen-or pencil, since a pencil IL
smoother and easier to operate than 8
pen-that started out to write SO soor
as the operator took 1t into his OF
her hand.
THE operator has no more inkline
OF what the next word will be before
the said magic pen has written same
than the onlooker.
"All the operator has to do Is te
hold the pen firmly in the fingers, dill
same into the ink, and see that said
graphic automausm. After writing
said letter, said graphic automatisn
will write ad libitum for ~plaintiff;
plaintiff must see to 1t that the per
