Portland, Oregon ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4By0gs4sHA

This is one of many papers around the US which published some version of this story about the Freeman divorce. This happens to be the Feb 3, 1915 edition of Chicago Daily Tribune, and I hadn't had time to look closely at this page before I made the video. I've now had more time to look at it and I've uploaded a copy to my Google Drive and made it available here https://drive.google.com/file/d/15uxWsICLxsclKaMM08qDYSsA7kK0QVdJ/view?usp=sharing The first thing to notice is probably the date 2/3/15 - and page number - 13 which is the Death card. There are two asterisks above the article, one over the B and one over the D, presumably standing for "blood door" Visually, the thing that sticks out is of course the large fashion photo, and specifically, the way some of the women in the photo are showing the left side of their necks, some with ribbons across their necks, almost as if their heads have been severed. There are other things to notice, like the way the women are holding their hands and fingers, the names of the women and of the fashions. Adjacent to the article about Emma Freeman's husband's "charges" and below the fashion spread is an article about a crime gang linked to an apparently notorious criminal named "Teddy Webb." Interestingly, one of the gangsters has the last name "McClaskey" which was the name of my grade school speech therapist who taught me to say my s's. Beneath this article is an article about someone found "dead in his room." Next to that is an article about a fatal dog bite (hydrophobia presumably meaning rabies - ray-bees). Above that is an article about Mexicans stealing rifles from General Pershing. This is a link to the man who would be my neighbor, Col Tom Monroe, who fought in the Pancho Villa Expedition. It seems clear to me that Emma Freeman was marked for death at least by the time this story leaked to the press, and the staging of the attack on her seems to be linked to this article in that it involved a "charge" of electricity, she was most likely found in her room, and there was probably some kind of link to these so-called "dogs" who protect the family and their crimes. 3:22 Burtha Thompson's death certificate 7:22 traveling with "The Prince of Wales" 8:52 Burtha was "correct in her suspicion that this man was a fakir" - at first one might be tempted to mentally correct that last word as "faker" - but it doesn't say faker, it says "fakir" - which the online dictionary defines as "a Muslim (or, loosely, a Hindu) religious ascetic who lives solely on alms." It's an intersting distinction, somehow turning a confidence man who runs cons and commits fraud into a holy figure. 12:13 It appears that Lucy and Milton Thompson were close to Turner family - I think they lived nearby at some point. Ira Turner was the grandson of Frank Turner and he is my daughter's great grandfather. Ira Turner's wife Carrie was my daughter's great aunt, and Carrie's sister Delia was my daughter's great grandmother. 12:20 Thompson/Turner anomaly on the 1920 census - Lucy Thompson appears twice, once in her own household, and once in the Turner household 14:10 Thompson, Lucy "To The American Indian" published first in 1916 was probably actually written by Milton Thompson https://www.amazon.com/American-Indian-Reminiscences-Yurok-Woman/dp/0930588479 15:54 "it's not another Lucy Thompson" - I suspect, by the way, that the name Lucy Thompson was taken from a mid-19th century ship 18:01 Italy again 18:22 "The Prince of Wales" - Bret Bowman, who was descended from Nantucket whaling families, was "the white whale," and my daughter's father's family was chosen by these Masonic game architects to be the ones to tackle him and hold him, and me, captive. That is why the one could code my daughter's father's paternal line as being "Prince of Wales" - some of Bret's ancestors were living by this point in Eureka, California and others were living in Portland, Oregon. At this time, I believe Chris' paternal family line also lived in Portland, Oregon. 20:20 My daughter's grandfather, Archie Thompson, Ira Turner's son with his sister in law Delia Thompson, was born in May 1919. 20:37 "woo" linked to the Chinese name Wu and Betty Thompson's (Mormon Thompson family) ancestor who immigrated from Wootton, England 21:14 "Ray Tewanna" 23:17 "her links to these Native American families" - this might also include Robert Spott whom she also photographed 25:00 Emma B Freeman's San Francisco studio near Union Square, area now known as Dragon's Gate 26:00 Feb 13 1988 https://youtu.be/aFV9SuLJbSg 27:00 Google street view image of area near Emma B Freeman's San Francisco studio Bibliography Rhode, Jerry - Both Sides of the Bluff - 2014 Thompson, Lucy - To the American Indian: Reminiscences of a Yurok Woman (1916, 1991) Willitts, Paul - King Con: The Bizarre Adventures of the Jazz Age's Greatest Imposter (2018) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwc09IB-mQQ
