NAPOLEON AS AN AUTHOR OF HISTORY AND FICTION
Always Prodigious Reader He Had Ambitions When a
Young Man to Become Famous as Writer
Plunged Into Authorship in Hope of Gaining
Funds to Help His Family

THERE Is one chapter in the life
of Napoleon Bonaparte which
L should be OF especial interest
to the boys and girls in the
schools OF Greater New York who are
now writing essays about Napoleon
with the hope Of winning some Of the
gold or silver or bronze prizes offered
to deals with Napoleon the young
author.
BY this time boys and girls in the
New York high schools, and probably
those in the upper grades Of elementary
schools as WELL know that during a
short life crowded with events Napoleon
wrote an enormous number OF official
documents, state papers, plans Of cam
paigns and other manuscripts. He
translated or interpreted writings Of
other men: he even prepared a cate
chlsm for every French child to learn
which included statements now regarded
as blasphemous. Among these state
ments which were taught to many thou.
sands of the children in the course OF
few months are the following:
THE Emperor is the minister Of the
power Of God. and His image on earth"
To honor and serve the Emperor
is to honor and serve God"
ITO disobey the Emperor is to dis
obey the authority given by God
Therefore disobedience of the Emperor's
commands will prepare the guilty for
eternal damnation."
In quoting from the catechism no
attempt has been made to translate the
exact words. But their meaning is
given. SO that American boys and girls
can understand what Napoleon was try
ing to do. or course it was wicked
thing to prepare such a catechism, and
even worse to have II taught to little
children. Napoleon himself did not
believe a word of it. He knew 1t was a
lie. But he had the catechism taught to
children all over France merely to in

DR.. A. p. +. Gammack was on the
witness stand during the entire fore
noon Tuesday in the trial OF Mrs.
Augusta Suhl in the circuit court The
direct examination by Pros. Montgom-
cry was by means of hypothetical
questions directed for the purpose of
securing professional opinion as to the
probable cause of death in the case of
Mr.. SuhL The testimony of this wit
ness was TO the effect that death must
certainly have been caused by
arsenical poisoning.
The crOss-eXaminatiOn Of the wit
ness was lengthy and went into
minutest detail as to symptoms, elm
zeal analysis and Psychological queS-
tions. 1t was sought to show that
there could be no positive proof Of
death by arsenical poisoning even
though arsenic were known TO have
been taken into the system. The stand
of the doctor was that there was little
doubt but that the death of Mr.. Suhl
had been by arsenicaI poisoning.
Regardless of the technical nature
Of the testimony the court room was

DIR. Gammack stated that he was
well acquainted with the properties of
arsenic inaSmuch as ne had attended
on many cases of arsenical poisoning
and as he had at one time had patent
ed a weed killing preparation having
arsenic as an ingredient and this had
caused him to do much experimental
work with the drug and TO have

In order TO secure the doctors opin-

Pros Montgomery asked a hypotheti-
cal Questi on in which he assumed the
conditions surrounding Mr. Suhls
death as brought out by testimony
Believes Arsenic Caused Death.
The witness said that with the facts
given concerning the symptoms dis
played by Mr. Suhl coupled with the
fact that arsenic was found in the
stomach he would state most certainly
that death had been due to acute
arsenic poisoning.

"It is not new. There is no new
