LIFE HISTORY Of FATHER Of FREE LOVE.

rlage, Miss Harman and Walker went
to jail. -"
At Topeka, Kan, in 1890, Harman
was brought to trial on charge of
sending obscene matter through the
mails, and was sentenced to five years
in prison. The late David Overmeyer,
one of the best known of Kausas at
torneys, defended Harman. 1t is al
legged that the free love advocate
maintained an attitude of defiance
throughout the trial, and it was this
that caused Judge Foster to remark:
81 have seen circus performers stick
their heads into lions mouths, but
have never seen them have the te-
merity to twist the beasts tails or
kick them in the ribs while perform
ing the risky act"
President Harrison Hcsicgcd.
Immediately upon the mcarcera-
ton of Harman in Lansing prison,
communications began to pour in up
on President Harrison and other
Washington officials, asking for his
release, and after four months behind
the bars he was discharged on a le-
gal technicality. The disciple of free
dom did not long remain at liberty,
however. In 1892 he again appeared
at the Lansing penitentiary as a
guest, and served eight months of a
year sentence.
The Imprisonment of Harmon on
these two occasions was due to the
publications in his journal of letters
from physicians relating to the al
legged brutality" of marriage, and
citing specific instances in language
declared by the courts to be too frank
to pass through the mails.
In 1895 Harmon was again con-
vcted of sending obscene matter
through the mails, and was sentenced
by a Kansas City court to one year
at hard labor This time Harman
took up lodgings at the Fort Leaven-
worth military prison, from which
place he was discharged on April 4,
1896. He then decided that the cli-
mate of Kansas was decidedly un-
healthy, and the attentions of the To-
cal officials too persistent, and took
up his residence in Chicago.
Lost in the labyrinth of a big city,
Harman escaped the notice of the
postal authorities for nearly decade.
In the meantime, however, he carried
on his free love propaganda. and by
means of journals and books, gained

Late in 1905 Harmon was again ar

Lands, who attained international
fame by nflicting the famous "big
fine" on the Standard oil company,
presided at the trial, and it was large

that he was convicted. Harman was

at Joliet and later to the federal pris-
on at Fort Leavenworth. \ broken
down. old man of &c, the prison life
was very nearly a death sentence, and
he spent most of the time in the
prison hospital prior to his release on
December 26, 1906.
Returning to Chicago, Harman was
given a great reception at Masonic
Temple, congratulations upon his re-
lease poured in from all over the
country. Letters were read at the
meeting from Ernest Howard Cros-
by, the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones,
Leonard d. Abbott, the late Hugh
owen Pentecost, Eugene V. Debs, Ell

magazine and hurl defiance at what
he terms the postal inqusition." .
Insist Conviction Was Unjust.
Many prominent people insist that
the last conviction of Harman was
unjust, inasmuch as one of the counts
Of the indictment against him was
the reproduction of an editorial from
the Woman's Journal, of which Alice
Stone Blackwell is associate editor.
Although the publishers of the Wo-
mans Journal were not molested by
the postal authorities, and the editor
ial received the Endorsement of Jane
Adams, Julia Ward Howe and other
famous women, Harman was sent to
prison for its publication.
Harman attributes his "persecu-
tion" to four influences, which he
sums us as follows:

cussion of all subjects relating to sex
and reproduction of the race, because
