Steps Are Taken to
Preserve Grave of
Leader In Crusades

Steps are being taken by Sir Ron
aid Storrs, governor of Jerusalem,
to preserve the only known grave
of a crusader. 1t is the last resting
place of Philip Daubigne, governor
of the Channel islands, one of the
councillors of King John at the
signing of Magma Charta and tutor
to the young King Henry III. 1t is
situated at the entrance of the Holy
Sepulchre. Daubigne went to
Jerusalem in the train of Frederick
II, in 1929, and died there in 1886.
The grave formerly was covered
by a stone platform used as seat
by the Turkish guardians, to which
fact is due it's preservation. 1t
bears the coat of arms of the cru
sader and an inscription which is
still legible.
An appeal has been sent by Sir
Ronald to the Channel islanders
and to the descendants of Philip
Daubigne, if any, to contribute in
order to assist in reforging this
link between the Channel islands
and the holy city.

Luck Can't Insure
Business Success

Seventy per cent of the failures
in business are due to lack Of
ability and experience. Many fell
lows think they can conduct a bust
ness with a little capital, a few
friends and lot of luck. To make
a success of business there must be
good merchandising, better selling
and close cooperation between de-
partment leaders,"
That was the statement of George
Santee, sales director of Chicago
house, to members of
a Toledo, Ohio, advertising club.

fourth probably belonged to another
conspirator and not to Corbett. Yet
the weapon which tradition hands
down to the War. Department. and
which is there displayed as the one
with which Corbett shot Booth. is
Cavalry carbine made by the Spencer
Repeating Rife Co. in Boston. Mass.
Quite possibly the carbine was carried
by Corbett. and the pistol became the
proud possession of his life.
Corbett became doorkeeper OF the
House of Representatives at Topeka,
Kans. He ran amuck there, pulled a
pistol on the astonished members and
was captured after some difficulty and
confined in the State Insane Asylum,
whence he soon escaped. He is said
to have become patent medicine
salesman for the Southwestern ter
ritory, about 1900. at Enid, Okla,
strangely the same place that another
of the principals in the tangle was
said to have shown up so dramatically.
These are few of the things that
have made it difficult for the War
Department to convince certain in
credulous persons that Booth was duly
dispatched. The department has in
sisted on treating the matter as a fait
accompli and has Steadfastly refused
to go beyond the records as written.
These records themselves are highly
contradictory, but withal seemed to
dispel any doubt existing at the time
that the right man was found.
This is the annoying paradox that
makes the War Department anxious
to wish the relics on the National

but the story more generally accepted
is that when his spur caught in the
folds of a United States flag draped
across the presidential box he was
thrown to the stage in such way as
to injure his fibula or small bone,
which is protected at the front by the
tibia or larger bone of the leg.

A MOTHER contradiction concerns
4 n the actual shooting Of Booth. De-
tective Conger stoutly maintained that
Booth shot himself. Lieut. Luther B.
Baker, another detective who was
present, charged that Conger shot him.
When. the men of the 18th New York
Cavalry were polled Sergt. Boston
Corbett, a religious fanatic, laid claim
to the distinction. Corhett swore at
the trial that he took steady aim and
fired. He did not say whether he used
a pistol or carbine. None of his. COM
panions, apparently, saw him shoot.

said Corbett refused 81 900 for the
pistol he claimed was used in shooting
Booth.
Conger swore that while he was
running around the barn he heard the
report of a pistol. The pistol may pos
sibly be in the collection of four in
the basement of the State, War and
Navy Building, but it is not identified
there. At least two of the four are be-
lieved to have been taken from Booth
and Hcrold, and 4 third is known to
have been used by Lewis Payne in his
assault at the Seward home The

not mentioned in the palaver between
the officers and the men at bay in the
barn, nor had anybody present, with
the possible exception of Col. Everton
J. Conger, "a detective in charge of the
expedition, ever seen Booth in life.

had gained the reputation of ne'er-

concerned, locked securely in his soul.

seeing the body, that 1t bore no re-
senblance to the Booth he had treat
ed for a fibroid tumor ION the back
of his neck, a little to the left DIR.
May accurately described the scar.
There was slight discrepancy here,
however, for Surg. Gen. Barnes testi-
fed at the trial of the conspiratorS

DR.. May wrote under date of Janu-
airy 10. 1887. a highly interesting and
scholarly treatise entitled THE Sign
of the Scalpel."
At the time he viewed Booths body
he was SO years of age, and at the
time of writing his paper rs, but at
the latter age he asserted that all the
circumstances of his visit to the mont
tor were perfectly fresh in his mind.
He wrote that on examining Booths
right leg he found it badly confused
and almost black. This runs counter
to the claim of the War Department
and others that Booths left leg was
fractured instead, of the right, and in
testimony whereof the department eX-
