To Forget Sins of Karl May.
The Karl May association has Just
been formed here with the avowed
purpose Of helping the public to forget
the youthful sins OF the man whose
name the association bears. Karl Nav
who died on Apris 1st near Dresden.
was for many years the hero OF young
Germany His most popular stories
dealt with the American indians
around the civil war period. and May
himself figures in most Of them as a
staggering hero. who became chief
OF the indian tribe with which he
fought
Some two years ago. however. it was !
learned through an action brought by
the author for libel that not only had
ne not been a great hero and fought
among the indians. but that he had. in
his youth, been a member of a gang OF
youthful robbers in the forests of ST.
Tesla, where they became the especial
scourge Of harmless old market wom-
en-; that he had served 10 years in
prison Tor mis- crime. and moreover ]
that he had never been outside OF Ger
many until 1900 Nevertheless. the i'm
mense popularity which his writings /
had attained led TO the formation OF +
the new association.
