#Death of Lewis E. Jones
Today in Christian History
Tumblr media
Today is Thursday, September 1st, the 244th day of 2022. There are 121 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
256: North African bishops vote unanimously that Christians who were baptized by rival sects must be rebaptized upon reentering the catholic church. The vote leads to a war of words between the North Africans and Rome, where Bishop Stephen (pope) disagrees. Eventually the worldwide church accepts the position held by Stephen.
1680: Beheading of Angelis, a young goldsmith in Constantinople who had shown little seriousness toward his faith. However, when confronted with the choice to convert to Islam or lose his life, he had boldly confessed Christ.
1687: Death at Cambridge, England, of Dr. Henry More, a theologian and philosopher deeply interested in mystical questions regarding spiritual beings, apologetics, and union with God, as well as more standard philosophical and scientific topics. He had communicated with many thinkers of repute in his day, including Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton, and Rene Descartes.
1784: Shortly after four in the morning, John Wesley meets with Thomas Coke and James Creighton, presbyters of the Church of England, to ordain Richard Whatcoat and Thomas Vasey as deacons for America. The following day they will ordain Whatcoat and Vasey as elders (Presbyters) and appoint Coke as Superintendent  (Bishop) for America.
1803: The Massachusetts Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge is instituted in Boston, the first tract society established in North America.
1836: When missionaries Marcus Whitman, H. H. Spalding, and their wives reach Walla Walla, Washington, Eliza Spaulding and Narcissa Whitman are the first white women to have crossed the North American continent.
1901: Death of Isabella Thoburn from Asiatic cholera. She had been a notable missionary-educator.
1923: Jessie Wengler, an Assemblies of God missionary in Japan, experiences an earthquake and flees to a bamboo grove for safety.
1936: Death of Lewis E. Jones, YMCA leader. He wrote the hymn tune POWER IN THE BLOOD ( “Would You Be Free from Your Burden of Sin?”).
1940: Death in Manila of Gregorio Aglipay, the main founder and first bishop of the Philippine Independent Church (Iglesia Filipina Independiente).
1957: At a massive rally in Times Square, Billy Graham concludes his sixteen-week New York City evangelistic crusade in New York City, attended by nearly two million people.
1970: Mei Yibao begins serving as president of the New Asia College of the Chinese University in Hong Kong. A Christian, he had served as traveling secretary for the YMCA for a year and had led Yanching University, a Christian institution, during the difficult days of Japanese occupation.
1975: Martyrdom in Boniato Prison of Gerardo Gonzalez Alvarez, a Cuban Bible preacher.
2018: A mob of nearly 1,000 Islamists attacks Christians gathered in a home to pray in Dimshaw, Egypt. The mob claims that the Christians don’t have a license, and a rumor spreads that they are on the verge of building a new church. Only twenty-five attackers are arrested and the court will release twenty-one of them.

20 books challenge
Tumblr media
Tagged by @theinquisitxor to post which books I would keep if I could only keep 20. Normally it would be tricky to choose only 20, but with the additional rules of no repeated authors or multiple books per series, I kept stalling at around 13! Here's my final answer (for today).
Let's see, I'm going to tag @agardenandlibrary, @wearethekat and @dracereads with the caveat that I'm not sure how many books you all actually have on hand! ebooks/audiobooks count as well, no picture required. Anyone else who wants to do this, consider this a tag, and show me your choices!
(list of books below the cut)
I decided to include Harper Collins titles but with a strikethrough, just to show the variety of books that fall under their imprints. Top to bottom, books are:
The Lost Prince, Frances Hodgson Burnett
The Picts and the Martyrs, Arthur Ransome
Gaudy Night, Dorothy Sayers
Good Omens, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
Feet of Clay, Terry Pratchett (OK, I cheated a little on the repeated author rule)
Peterson Field Guide to Eastern Birds
The Midnight Folk, John Masefield
Poetry 180, Billy Collins
I Capture the Castle, Dodie Smith
Prodigal Summer, Barbara Kingsolver (would probably actually choose a diff Kingsolver book as the one-and-only, but a friend has it right now)
The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume II, Arthur Conan Doyle
Death and Hard Cider, Barbara Hambly
About the B'nai Bagels, E. L. Konigsburg
Tinkerbelle, Robert Manry
Grave Mistake, Ngaio Marsh (this particular volume has 3 of her books, but if forced to choose I'd go with the listed title)
Sailor Jack and the Target Ship, Selma and Jack Wasserman (a sentimental keep: a preschool favorite)
Dragonhaven, Robin McKinley
The Merlin Conspiracy, Diana Wynne Jones
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C. S. Lewis
The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson

Trap Sprung: Launched into Eternity on a Noose
By: Lisa Timmerman, Executive Director
On 03/29/1859, Lewis C. Botts wrote his cousin, Nathaniel, a letter describing his service as a juror on a much-anticipated trial for murder. Captivated by the testimonies, Botts believed that James H. Johnson was “a great scoundrel” and his sentence of death by hanging was “too good for him.” This trial commenced in the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County on 03/07/1859 and lasted a week. So, what happened in Rappahannock County, Virginia that led our Botts descendant to gleefully convict Johnson?
Tumblr media
A book published presumably around the time of his execution contains all trial records, public hype, opinion, and description of Johnson’s execution. “The Trial of James H. Johnson at the March Term, 1859, of the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County, Va., Charged with The Poisoning of his Wife, By Administering to her Strychnia. Together with A Short Biography of the Criminal, The Evidence Adduced at the Trial, His Liaison with his Wife’s Niece – the Murder of their Offspring, The Letters of His Paramour, and the Medical Evidence adduced on the Occasion, Including that of Prof. R.E. Rogers, of The University of Pennsylvania. Also, an Account of the Execution, By a Member of the Rappahannock Bar” provided a very comprehensive, and biased, view of the trial and execution. Both Daniel W. Botts and Lewis C. Botts served as jurors and heard testimony regarding Johnson’s worries over his wife’s medical conditions along with analysis of the poison used. Below are some notable excerpts from the 59-page book (available here to read from Internet Archive). The trial centered around Johnson’s insistence his wife was always ill, the lemonade he made the day of her death, and his relationship with his wife’s niece.
Prosecution: J.Y. Menifee, Charles B. Tebbs
Defense: Robert E. Scott, E.T. Jones, W.B. Hackley
The Lemonade:
After establishing that Johnson was seen with strychnine and purchased lemons a few days before his death, James Carter described watching Mrs. Johnson drink the lemonade.
“That he was at the house of James H. Johnson, on Thursday, the 10th day of June, 1858, and he the said James H. Johnson proposed to make a lemonade, which he did, and I said I was in a hurry, being on a borrowed horse; but I would go to the cherry tree and wait until he the said Jas. H. Johnson had made the lemonade. After I came to the house, he the said Jas. H. Johnson and Mrs. Alice Johnson drank. She said it was very bitter, and she did not like it. He, Johnson, said it was like his, and it was aloes, which Kinsey [doctor] says will be good for you. After Mrs. Johnson drank the glass, Mr. Johnson poured some lemonade out of the pitcher, and she drank that. He the said Johnson told her to give him the glass and let him rinse it. Mrs. Johnson says, what do you want to rinse it for, there is nothing in it. James H. Johnson says there may be a little aloes left in it. Mr. Johnson asked me if I was ready, and I said I was, and we started.
Franklin Gearing having been sworn, testified as follows: I was cleaning up some wheat, and I heard a scream from Mrs. Johnson, and I ran to the house, and I found her sitting in a chair, with her hands up over her shoulders, hold of the chair nobs, and a jerking, and she said she was poisoned; and I replied, I reckon not; and she said she was, and wanted or requested me to give her the white of an egg. I held her whilst the black man gave her one, and I gave her one or two myself, and she remarked that Mr. Johnson was going after her little son Saturday or Sunday, and he wanted her out of his way, and that she was point-blank like the dog which had got something that had been put up stairs to kill rats, and which the dog had got to and eat and died, which she was arsenic or something; and she said that Mr. Johnson was kinder to her that day than common; and if she could get over it, she would never drink any more from his hands, as long as she lived; and the last word I heard her say, she said she was poisoned.”
The Reports of Her Health
Daniel Updike provided testimony for the defendant and mentioned the reports of her ill health that Johnson had supposedly related to friends, family, and neighbors. Many of the statements regarding her health did not help Johnson’s case.
According to Mr. Updike, “Was acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson when they were married. Had occasion to visit them frequently. Never saw any bad treatment on the part of Johnson to his wife. Prisoner was married in 1850. In 1851 Mrs. Johnson’s health was bad, but got better; for some two or three years, was healthy. Toward the latter part of her life heard no complaint of illness. He conversed with her a short time before her death, and she appeared cheerful and lively. This was his only opinion.”
According to Mr. Thrift, “He did not know of any member of the family that had died suddenly. Did not know of any peculiarity in the family in that respect. His wife was a sister of Mrs. Johnson. Had never heard that any of the family were subject to sudden death.”
The Niece
The prosecution submitted nine letters written by Mary Shreve to James H. Johnson where she confessed her feelings and shared intimate details between them. The prosecution described her life after the murder.
“In the meantime, the reader is probably anxious to know what has become of the unfortunate Mary E. Shreve. Soon after the development of the unfortunate events which wrought her ruin and shame, and condemned her paramour to an ignominious death, she left her paternal home to reside with a relative somewhere in the far West. We heard of her but a few days ago – but not as the gay and beautiful girl described in a preceding page; but on the contrary, a poor, penitent, heart-broken woman. Her career had been one which ever teaches the same unvarying lesson, that prostitution, though invariably the result of man’s individual villainy in seducing and betraying the poor being who trusts her destiny to his keeping, is yet one of the monstrous crimes of society which dooms its daughters to degradation and misery, from which no virtuous efforts of their’s can ever rescue them.”
The Judge & Jury
Judge Tyler gave his opinion on the case after declaring the defendant guilty. Below is a small sample of the theme he reiterated. 
“There is no hope for you on this side of the grave. Yours is not a case to excite the mercy or sympathy of earthly tribunals; for in the long black catalogue of guilt and woe that make up the criminal record which has come down to us, there is no deed that stands out in colors of deeper, darker malignity, than yours.”
Lewis Botts shared the same sentiments in his letter, describing his perspective as a juror.
“The trial of Johnson for the murder of his wife came off last week: Scott was his principal counsel and the defense was very ably conducted; I was one of the jurors and being under the disagreeable necessity of declaring him guilty of murder in the first degree. I should have been highly delighted. Scott is a very able lawyer and made one of the most able and ingenious arguments I ever heard from any one: but it was in the examination of two witnesses that I was particular pleased with, but in both of these he was overmatched one was a young Doctor of Rappk who assisted in the post mortem examination of the body of Mrs. Johnson and the other was Professor Rogers of Philadelphia who analized the stomach and the contents of it; it was truly an intellectual feast and had I been at all acquainted with the subject of chemistry I would have enjoyed a great deal more than I did: Rogers says he made tests in three different ways with the contents of the contents of the stomach and in every instance found strychnine not satisfied with those he applied the substance he found in the stomach to living beings with and it soon put an end their existence the evidence in the case was taken down by competent Reporters and no doubt you will have a full history: Johnson is a great scoundrel and hanging is too good for him: he set out with the [presiding] the public mind for the sudden death of his wife telling the people he would not be surprised at wife’s death at any time, as she was subject to spasms and when he thought he get the public mind ripe for that event then it was that he administered the fatal dose, but he failed to cover up the tracks that he had made and was very easily trapped: the evidence was so conclusive against him that the jury were in the room not more than five minutes and rendered a verdict of murder in the first degree; it is strange that Scott could make such an argument on no foundation but he has mind enough for anything or any emergency.”
The Defendant’s Final Words & Execution
“He turned at once to the hundreds by whom he was surrounded, and in a clear and distinct tone of voice, manifesting neither fear or excitement, spoke as follows; or in words to the effect that he appeared before them to-day as a man whose doom was fixed, and who had but a few moments to sojourn on this earth; but he wished to say a few words in his own defence. He protested that he was guilty of the murder of his wife – said that his life had been falsely sworn away through prejudice and ill will on the part of some of his enemies, and that they had created a feeling of popular excitement against him which had aided materially in bringing him to his present sad fate. He conceded that he had a fair and impartial trial by the jury – he blamed not them, but there were witnesses who had been falsely sworn against him, and he would name them. (Here the prisoner enumerated several.) Other witnesses had also told all they knew or thought would operate to his detriment, carefully withholding anything which would speak in his behalf. He was not the murderer of his wife – he did not give her the strychnia, – he believed that his own life had been in danger from the machinations of her friends, and the crime was committed by a darker hue than himself – (evidently alluding to a serving girl on his place.) As to his friends in Loudoun, he had but little to say. The young lady whose name had been so freely spoken of in connection with his, was innocent of many of the charges preferred against her – though chargeable with some.
The prisoner then turned to Sheriff Miller, and said “he was ready.” The noose was adjusted about his neck, the trap sprung, and the unfortunate being was launched into eternity.”
The Historian
So how do we unpack this? While the booklet printed from the Rappahannock County Bar provided wonderful primary source information, it was written by someone convinced of Johnson’s guilt. Every line dripped with condemnation. The writer also admittingly left out information and summarized a lot to ensure they kept within their page limit goal. That does not mean we should dismiss the booklet as false or invalid, but we should keep those limitations and restrictions in mind when reading it.
Interestingly, Lewis Botts ended the letter discussing his prospects of marriage. “…but as usual I am accused of being engaged but which of two young ladies (for I would not have any other than a young one) it puzzles the many kind friends to tell whenever I am asked about it I acknowledge that I am engaged sometimes to one and then again to another so that my answers are very unsatisfactory to the curious.”

⠀|⠀⠀⠀ CEO MJ & Assistant Peter | AO3 | Spideychelle⠀⠀⠀|
⠀🏛⠀Main/Regular Verse: All Strings Attached + Baby Verse: Family Ending
𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘: Michelle inherits a million-dollar company she  wants to use good for, transforming it into something her younger self would be proud of. …Until an anonymous source leaks allegations of fraud happening behind her back and from within her company.
Michelle knows what she wants and what she needs but that comes to a screeching halt with Peter Parker — especially when he gains the job as an undercover journalist under the guise of working as her personal assistant to solve who really causing her company to fall.
But despite the planned and carefully assembled guises and the lies, for things to become personal was the one thing no one ever, ever considered becoming a possibility. But then again, the best things are usually unplanned.

history-of-solitaire-card-game
History Of Solitaire Card Game Like the origin of playing cards, the origin of solitaire is largely unknown as there are no historical records to support it. There is much conjecture and controversy about the history of Solitaire as to where it actually began. However the first written documentation of solitaire doesn't show up until the end of the 16th century and since then Solitaire has had a long history and at one time had a less than stellar reputation. Around the 12th century the game "Al-qirq" (the mill, in Arabic), which later became the game of "Alquerque", was the most prevalent game until around the end of the 12th century in Europe. Playing cards were first introduced in Italy in the 1300s. During that time they also became popular in Northern Europe. There is a card game called Tarok that was invented around that time that is still played to this day. It is also believed that solitaire games were first played with tarot cards, which would indicate that solitaire most likely preceded traditional multi-player card games. The French engraving of Princess de Soubise showing her playing a card game, dates from 1697. Legend says that Solitaire was invented by Pelisson, a French mathematician, to entertain Louis XIV - known as "Roi Soleil" (Sun King). Another legend says that a unfortunate French nobleman, while imprisoned in the Bastille, devised the game using a Fox & Geese Board (the Fox & Geese Board has been used for a variety of board games in Northern Europe since the Vikings). There is doubt about these legends, since Ovide wrote about the game and described it in his book "Ars Amatoria". The end of the sixteenth century was an active period for the invention of various card games. This was when the ace first appeared as high instead of low in the rankings of the cards. Several new card games were invented during this time and new variations were added, so this is likely a time when solitaire games were invented and named as well. The first known solitaire game rules were recorded during the Napoleonic era. The author of War and Peace, Tolstoy, enjoyed playing solitaire and mentioned it in a scene from his famous novel. Tolstoy sometimes used cards to make decisions for him in a somewhat superstitious way. Most early literature mentioning patience is of French origin. Even the very word 'solitaire' is of a French origin, and it means 'patience'. The names of most early solitaire games are French names as well, with the most well known being La Belle Lucie. When Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena in 1816 he used to play Patience to pass the time. Deported to the island lost in the ocean, knew what confinement felt like fully; he also knew how cards could solace one sentenced to solitude. During his exile at St Helena, Napoleon Bonaparte played patience in his spare time. Some solitaire games were named after him, such as Napoleon at St. Helena, Napoleon's Square, etc. It is not known whether Napoleon invented any of these solitaire games or someone else around that same time period. Publications about solitaire began to appear in the late nineteenth century. Lady Adelaide Cadogan is believed to have written the first book on the rules of solitaire and patience games called "Illustrated Games of Patience" just after the Civil War (1870) containing 25 games. It is still reprinted occasionally even today. Other non English compilations on solitaire may have been written before that, however. Before this, otherwise there was no literature about solitaire, not even in such books as Charles Cotton's The Compleat Gamester (1674), Abbé Bellecour's Academie des Jeux (1674), and Bohn's Handbook of Games (1850), all of which are used as reference on card games.In England "Cadogan" is a household word for solitaire in the same manner that "Hoyle" is for card games. Lady Cadogan's book spawned other collections by other writers such as E.D.Chaney, Annie B. Henshaw, Dick and Fitzgerald, H. E. Jones (a.k.a. Cavendish), Angelo Lewis (a.k.a. Professor Hoffman), Basil Dalton, and Ernest Bergholt. E.D. Chaney wrote a book on solitaire games called "Patience" and Annie B. Henshaw wrote a book with an interesting title "Amusements for Invalids". Several years later Dick and Fitzgerald in New York published "Dick's Games of Patience" in 1883, followed by a second edition that was published in 1898. Author, Henry Jones, wrote a fairly reliable book on solitaire called "Patience Games". Another Jones, not related to Henry, Miss Mary Whitmore Jones wrote 5 volumes of solitaire books over a twenty year period around the the 1890's. Several other publishers of various game books also added solitaire to their long lists of games in their titles. One of the most complete solitaire books was written by Albert Morehead and Geoffrey Mott-Smith. Their latest edition contains rules to over 225 solitaire games and was used in this writing. Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace" mentions a scene that took place in 1808 where the characters were playing patience. Charles Dickens "Great Expectations" mentions solitaire in its story. In Evelyn Waugh's "A Handful of Dust", a character plays patience while waiting for news of a death to reach London. In Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel [The Brothers Karamazov], the character Grushenka played a solitaire game called "Fools", a Russian equivalent of "Idiot's Delight", to get through times of crisis. A very popular solitaire game, spider solitaire, was played by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Somerset Maugham's "The Gentleman in the Parlour" mentions Spider solitaire and quotes playing solitaire as "a flippant disposition. In John Steinbeck's novella Of [Mice and Men], protagonist George Milton often plays Solitaire on the road and on the farm. In "Peter Duck", one of the books in Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series, Captain Flint keeps himself occupied by playing Miss Milligan. In the 1962 movie "The Manchurian Candidate", Raymond Shaw is compelled to perform specific actions through a brainwashing trigger, which often includes a game of traditional solitaire and finding the queen of diamonds. In the Finnish TV-series "Hovimäki" Aunt Victoria is very fond of playing solitaire. Several solitaire games have gained fame through literature and other avenues. Some solitaire games were invented in unexpected places. A notable inventor of solitaire games was Bill Beers. He was in a mental asylum when he invented a variation of Cribbage Solitaire. Prisoners had plenty of time to play solitaire, but were unable to use traditional cards because they could be used as an edged weapon. They were forced to use thicker tiles for cards that were bulky and hard to handle. http://e-sports.icu/
Tumblr media
A famous casino is responsible for the invention of a very popular solitaire game. Mr. Canfield, who owned a casino in Saratoga, invented a game where one would purchase a deck of cards for $52 and obtain $5 for every card played to the foundations. He gained an average of $25 per game, however, each game required a dealer of sorts to watch the player, so the profit was not as high as one might think. The actual name of this popular game was Klondike, but the name Canfield has stuck and is almost as commonly used as the word patience. Due to its difficulty to win, the time needed to play and the lack of choices along the way, Klondike has lost some popularity to other popular solitaire games. Today most people refer to Klondike as simply Solitaire. Both solitaires and reasons why people enjoy playing with these patchworks of cards have, of course, changed since the old times the solitaires appeared. In the contemporary world, we sometimes need a break from an everyday hustle and tedious treadmill. Solving solitaires is not only a way of time-killing distraction; it is also a sure way to relax after work. Long winter nights, it helped Jack London's characters to amuse their leisure. A great musician, Nicolo Paganini was also in favor of solving solitaires; his best-liked solitaire was later called after his name. A good solitaire not only helps you relax and kill time; it is a great mental gymnastic as well. This is why solitaires were appealing to mathematicians like Martin Gardner and Donald Knut. As his contemporaries witnessed, Prince Metternich, an eminent 19-century diplomat, used to sit and ponder over knotty solitaires before starting most difficult negotiations. Today most people refer to Klondike as simply 'Solitaire'. Due to its difficulty to win, the time needed to play and the lack of choices along the way, Klondike has lost some popularity to other popular solitaire games. When we think of solitaire games today, many people would immediately think of the digital versions for computers, for example solitaire for mac and solitaire games for PC, however, there are still millions of people that play the "old-fashion way" with a standard deck of cards, perhaps much like the deck of cards Napoleon played with nearly 200 years ago.
