He was a poor lecturer, and si person
who remembers it says the lecture was
rambling and disconnected, j such as
an insane person might delivpr.
He swindled hotel men and others
and large printing firms who pub
lished his "Life of Christ." He called
on his brother when in Boston, and
the latter implored him to jabandon
his reckless career. Charles was still
obstinate and angered that hi brother
should advise him. He was j ejected

the last seen of him in Boston. His

When at school he was bright, but

says: MYou may deny authoritatively
