expensive law volumes, Abe's first
knowledge of the Constitution of the
United States was patiently gleaned
from this book of his friend David
Turnham, a young deputy sheriff.
Eight autographed volumes of Lin
coln's law books, owned when Lincoln
and William Herndon were law part
ners, are also In the Townsend col
n
lection. These
books, with
2videnco of long hours spent toiling
.heir faded sheepskin bindings, show
over different cases. Lincoln never
underscored a line which he consid
ered important.
Instead he would
draw a crude hand with the forefinger pointed toward the significant
passage. Throughout the volumes,
these faint pencil drawings appear.
Lincoln's Kid Glove
The search for Lincoln relics, as
fascinating as a pirate hunt for bur
ied gold, has led this devotee of the
Civil war president far and wide.
From auction rooms where prices
reached fabulous sums, to dusty
bookshops where under piles of pa
pers and dirt, unknown treasures
might be hidden.
It would take several volumes to
vell how I got them all," laughingly

country's executive smiled broadlj

strong, hearty backwoodsman grip

And ripped it Is to this very
day. When Lincoln died, his old
asked for the glove as a re
membrance of his beloved friend. Hr
bequeathed it to his daughter, Jessir
Dubois, from whom I secured it."
Lincoln's Letters
Numerous letters in the precise but
somewhat cramped handwriting oi
lie president are owned by Attorney
Townsend.
Occasionally a misspelled
word occurs in them, but Mr. Town-senis quick to defend his hero.
"At any rate he was not half so
bad a speller as George Washington."
One of these letters Is a pardon to a
Confederate soldier, written four days
before Lincoln's death.
The only letters which Attorney
Townsend was able to find in Lexington, relate to the one case on record
where Lincoln was the defendent. A
firm of local merchants, Oldham and
Hemingway, cotton and grain manufacturers whose shop was located at
Number 4 West Main street (the sit?
of which is, curiously enough, just
text to the First and City National
bank where Lawyer Townsend's office is located), accused Lincoln of
.ppropriating 175 which he collecte-from thir delinquent debtors in Illinois. Lincoln was furiously angry a
the accusation as his letters to his
attorneys show. He forced the merchants to discontinue the suit and
records of the case can be found today in the Lexington Court House
These letters, in the clear and legible
handwriting of their writer, lay for
70 years in an attic unknown to thp
family of Judge- - Kimkale to whom
they were written. Finally they werf
unenrthed from an old desk drawer
bv Mr. Townsend and are now a cher
ished part of his collection.
Has Many Photographs
"But the most courious place for
a Lincoln relic to be was in a little
cottage in the Sangmon river bottom
where Lincoln lived as a grocery
clerk," the Lexington attorney told
me as we sat in his law office. "Th
old woman who lived in the house
didn't know whether there were any
tokens of Lincoln or not, hut she invited me into the kitchen to look. I
noticed a shoebox perched on an
d
cupboard
I climbed on a chair and began ar
investigation. There under a great
pile of garden seeds and onions lay
a daguerreotype of the man for whom
I was searching and it is one of the
rarest ones in existence!"
"I have the only photograph of the
Lincoln conspirators in existence,'
exulted Mr. Townsend. "And I've gof

hands made by Leonard Volt, sculp
tor. Lincoln was s'o unassuming that

Drawings Disappear

Drawings which have graced the
blackboard in Dr. J. W. Pryor's Recitation room on the second floor of the
Science building for 25 years have
been erased.
The chalk drawings
were outlines of the heart, a
of the spinal cord and a
of a hair, which were made
by Dr. Pryor to be used in lecture
work in his anatomy classes.
A worker who painted the boards
disregarded the "Do not erase" notations which were all around the
sketches, and with a damp rag made
them history. Some of the students
who first gazed upon these drawings
have now been practicing medicine for
about 18 years.

being made, he went out, got an old
saw, cut off a piece of broom handle,
and said, "I'm ready." So in Volt's
molds, a small broom handle appears
firmly clutched in Lincoln's right
hand.
"This evening the performance will
be honored by the appearance of Abraham Lincoln," announces a yellow"-j- d
program of Ford's Theater, dated
pril 14, 1885, the day of Lincoln's
death. This occupies a prominent
place in the Lincoln collection.
"My only regret is that I failed to
buy even more momenta's when I had
in opportunity," Baid tho owner of
ver a thousand books, pamphlets.
nd manuscripts about Lincoln, numerous original photographs, and 750
nictures and places connected with
his life. "He was a wonderful man!"
And university students, who on
Sunday, February 12, will join with
millions of other citizens of the Union
o celebrate the birth of the man who
save his life that the "liberty of thn
neople, by the people, and for the
people should not perish from this
earth," agree.
