CLAIMS upheld
Newly Found Letter Backs Up

Cincinnati, Oct, w - Lately
American historians have been
bombing the story OF the flight OF
Benjamin Franklin's electricity de-
tecting kite. They have attempted
to relegate the legend to the junk
heap OF historical fallacies. Their
claim has been that, had Frank
lin tried the experiment, he would
have been electrocuted and burned
to a crisp brown crust.
But a book has been discovered.
piled with 1900 other volumes an
a garage store room owned by the
Cincinnati public library. contain
ing letter written by Franklin
himself on the experiment and its
results. The volume Is compend-
tum Of many letters written by
Franklin and members OF the
Royal Scientific society of London,
While the story Lssded down
placed the scene Of the trial In the
tower Of old Christ church IN
Philadelphia, Franklin fails to
mention the locality. It Is also evil
dent that he had no intention OF
attracting lightning to his kite, but
that he merely wanted TO prove the
presence OF electrical energy In the
atmosphere during a thunder
storm.
The letter was written probably
