Paris. March 22.-Simultaneously
with the erection of a colossal statue
In honor of Christopher Columbus at
Buenos Ayres will be published here
Saturday two volumes of a work by
Henry Vignaud, first secretary of the
American embassy, in which the dis
coverer of America is branded an i'm
poster and a humbug and placed in
class with explorers like DR.. Cook.
Mr.. Vignaud retired from the Ameri-
can embassy two years ago and has
completion of study of Columbus,
which has consumed in all so years.
The author is now 81 years of age. He
Is celebrated as historian. and was
consulted recently by the Pope when
1t was proposed to caponize Columbus.
At that time Mr.. Nignaud showed that
the explorer was anything but a saint
~ man. and that he had at least one
illegitimate son.
In his study of Columbus. Mr.. Wig
maud undertakes to prove that the eX-
plorer's discovery of America was not
the result of his own genius. that the
expedition was not based upon scien-
tific data but that Columbus actually
learned OF the existence of America
from AN ignorant sailor who had been
there ahead OF him. In a word, that
America was discovered long before
Columbus ever organized his eXpedi-
ton, and that he merely took the
credit from another man unknown to
history.
The story that Toscanell wrote a
letter to Columbus inclosing a chart
showing the route across the Atlantic,

COLUMBUS WAS A FOUR-FLUSHER,
DECLARES MUCKRAKER V|GNAUD

and that it was with this in hand that
Columbus started out to find the new
world, is disposed of by Mr.. Vignaud.
He declares that the Toscanelli letter
was forgery perpetrated possibly by
Columbus himself, but more probably
by the explorers brother, Bartholo-
new Columbus.
Mr.. Vignaud says that in 1871 copy
of the forged letter was found on
blank page of book once the explor-
er's property. This is undoubtedly in
Columbus's writing. says Mr.. Vignaud.
fac simile of the document is pub
lshed in Mr.. Nignaud's work. Mr.
Vignaud further undertakes to prove
that the map used by Columbus could
not have come from Toscanelli be
cause it contained exact information
which no amount OF scientific think
ing could have adduced, but which
could only have been learned from ac
tuai experience.
Mr.. Nignaud says that Columbus not
infrequently acted in manner which
renders it possible to suspect him OF
deception. He says the explorer con-
cealed the lowness of his origin: that
he boosted that he was descended from
other Admirals of the name of Column
bus. though it has been discovered
that the men in question were not ev-
en- his nationality. one being d Greek
and the other a Frenchman; that he
boosted of having served under King
Rene of Anjou, while modern critics
prove that he did not that he often re-
ferred to the voyages he made in his
youth while facts show the statements
TO be wholly untrue.

ITALIAN CRUELTY AROUSES ENGLAND Army Officer Reports H0r- rible Atrocities to Brit
 ish Paper

London, November 3.-Agitation against alleged atrocities by Italians in Tripoli which has sprung up in the British press and is supported by few members of the house of commons since uncensored reports arrived here from English newspaper correspondents con- cerning recent occurrences in Tripoli received fresh impetus tonight through a telegram received by a news agency from Herbert Montague, a second lieu tenant of the fifth fusileers. He tele- graphed from Souk by way of Dehibat, on the frontier of Tunis, say ing:
 T feel 1t my duty to send to you the following telegram, and I beg you in the name of Christianity to publish 1t throughout England. I am an English officer now voluntarily serving in the Turkish army here.
 AS you know already about tho ferocious resistance which the Turks and Arabs are offering the Italians, will only express my admiration for their bravery and fortitude which would warm the heart of any English man or of any true soldier in the 
 world.
 Imagine my feelings when on enter 1 ing and driving the Italians out of Arab 1 houses which they had fortified and were holding, we discovered the bodies of some 120 women and children with l their hands and feet bound, mutilated, l pierced and torn. Later on at another l town we found a mosque filled with bodies of women and children mutilated
 almost beyond recognition. l could not
 count them, but there must have been 1 300 or 400.
 1 Tn this European war, are such crimes | to be committed? Cannot England do something to stop such horrors. In our | civilization and times you can hardly be- | lieve it, but it is true nevertheless. 1 q. myself, have seen 1t, so I know Even now we are getting news of l further massacres of women and chill
 dren who were discovered on places lately occupied by Italians. The idea of the Italians when they slaughtered | the innocents obviously was one of re-
 venge for their heavy losses in battle
 We are at this moment under a
 heavy shrapnel fire, so you must par
 don me if the sentences are somewhat incoherent. There is also an aeroplane
 circling over our position and directing
 the enemy's gun fire on us.'

SOME OTHER MAN GAVE GIRL POISON Senior Counsel for the Rev. RichesOn Issues Signifi-
 cant Statement

Boston, November 3.-That some oth- CT man than his client gave Avis Lan- nell the poison from which she dled,
 was the assertion today of John l.. Lee of Lynchburg, Va, senior counsel for the Rev. Richeson. former pastor of Emmanuel Baptist church, Cam
 bridge, who is under indictment by the
 grand jury charged with murder.
 Before MT. Lee left Boston for his
 home to clear up some business affairs he discussed the Linnell murder briefly.
 Rev. Richeson is innocent" he said
 "Of that l am convinced. My talks
 with him, my own observation of the case and my conference with counsel
 have opened up a way by which I shall eventually free him."
 Beyond saying that he hoped to accu- mulate enough evidence to satisfy the jury of the guilt of another man. MT. Lee would not speak of the plans of the defense.
 Remarks of the attorney were taken as indicating the defense would not advance the. suicide theory to explain the girls death.
 The first authentic protestation of the Rev. MT. Richesons innocence of the murder of Miss Linnelf was made pulp lie when the text of his letter resign ing the pastorate of Emmanuel Baptist church was given out. The letter follows "I beg to herewith tender my resigna- ton as pastor of Emmanuel church Strong in the consciousness of my inno- cence and firmly persuaded that God in This own good time will lift this burden | from me, nevertheless feel that I should | not permit the shadow thrown over my life to darken the religious welfare of
 my church, and It's people whom I love l, therefore. deem 1t my duty to place
 the church in a position to select my successor. With my heartfelt thanks fol 1 the many ltindnesses shown me by each and all of the members of the church. am, sincerely yours. ! CLARENCE V. T. RICHE6ON."
