DOYLE, ARTHUR CONAN

Autographed letter signed (“A Conan Doyle”), 2 pages, letterhead, Windlesham, Crowborough, Sussex, August 3 (1922). To [Dr. Allerton] Cushman, concerning spirit photography.

Doyle writes to Cushman concerning an ongoing investigation regarding William Hope’s “spirit” photographs. On February 24, 1922, Harry Price provided Hope with marked plates for his sitting, and the exposed plates Hope provided Price in return (one of which contained a spirit) did not bear the mark, thereby showing that Hope had switched the new plates with a doctored one. Price published his evidence against Hope in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research.

In The Case for Spirit Photography, Doyle, who believed that spirits and ghosts could contact the living through a psychic-medium such as photography, lays out a series of experiments supporting the authenticity of William Hope’s photographs.

Doyle, and Hope’s other supporters, vehemently denied Price’s evidence, claiming an organized conspiracy against Hope. In the present letter, Doyle states: “The theory of the persecution is that the marked plate was left after abstraction, that Hope used them not knowing it was marked and that it is now a damning witness against him.”

HEMINGWAY, ERNEST

Autographed essay signed (“ernest Hemingway”), 1 page, n.d. (presumably Oak Park, c. 1913-1917, his high school years), in black ink, high school essay pertaining to the Catalinian Conspiracy, for which he received an “A” in red ink, on ruled watermarked paper.

Perhaps one of the earliest known unpublished essays of the celebrated author (Letters before 1917 are not included in Selected Letters, ed. C. Baker): “The Catalinian Conspiracy was a plot by Cataline, a brave but unscrupulous roman, to overthrow the government of Rome and kill all his enemies. He raised a large [illeg.] force of disreputable citizens to accomplish this end and tried to get the Allobroges, a gallic tribe, into it. His plans were [illeg.] by Cicero the orator and leader of the senatorial party . . . Cataline was driven from the city and was killed in battle. His followers who remained were put to death by the order of Cicero. Caesar was suspected of being implicated in their plot and consequently his popularity suffered for a certain length of time.” Below the essay, Hemingway was asked to write a series of discussion points pertaining to the life of Caesar.

Creased in fourths; some soiling at top right; two small holes; otherwise fine. $5,000-7,000

LEWIS, SINCLAIR

Typed letter signed (“Sinclair Lewis”), 1 page, on a bifolium, London, February 24, 1933, to Mr. Neill McCullough Clark, Winnetka, Illinois. Lewis writes in response to an interview with the recipient pertaining to the author’s Midwest roots and how they have influenced his writing. $200-400 177

LEWIS, SINCLAIR

A typed draft speech for a symposium on newspaper training signed (“Sinclair Lewis”), 2 pages, with handwritten corrections in ink, together with a typed letter signed (same) to an individual requesting his speech, Mr. Hills, 1 page, Harcourt, Brace, New York, September 3, 1925, with hand-written corrections and a hand-written post-script to the bottom, presumably to Lewis’ secretary, requesting that it be sent back for further editing.

From the present speech, Lewis actually disagrees with the theme of the symposium, specifically that newspaper-writing is a merit to future creative writing, a stance that reflects his own early experiences in the publishing world. “It is true that many of the most admirable creative writers have been journalists . . . [but] they might not have done quite as well, perhaps far better, had they not spent merely half an hour in chronicling the misadventure of Mrs. Eliza Stebbins, who bit her husband, but instead have known Mrs. Stebbins longer and more intimately, and thus more poignantly have realized the magnificent tragedy of that biting.”

Dr. Peter Fahrney, president and founder of Fahrney & Sons Co., Chicago, Illinois, made millions off his discovery of Blood Purge, or “Dr. Peter’s Blood Vitalizer.” Although he began practicing medicine in Pennsylvania, he moved to Chicago to open his laboratory and was an important member of the early Oak Park community, commissioning Frank Lloyd Wright to build a home for his daughter Emma.

His pharmaceutical manufacturing firm flourished until the laboratory burned down in 1871 in the Great Chicago Fire.

(CHICAGO CRIME) DILLINGER DEATH MASK

Original plaster cast from the Coffman negative, the first death mask made from John Dillinger’s body, this being the only cast produced from that negative.

After the body of John Dillinger was taken to the Cook County morgue on July 22, 1934, at least four “death masks” were created. The first, and perhaps the crudest, was made

by Kenneth “Doc” Coffman, who, having obtained permission from authorities, poured plaster directly onto Dillinger’s face creating a deep impression. Having prepared the face with vaseline and oil the plaster dried in about five minutes and came right off. Coffman immediately poured plaster into the impression to create a negative, a process which, unfortunately, destroyed the first casting. The present cast is the original negative created by Coffman at the Cook County morgue. No other casts were created from Coffman’s negative.

The cast remained in the possession of Kenneth Coffman until his death in 1983, when it was subsequently auctioned off by his widow, Mariette Van Den Steene-Coffman and purchased by the present owner. The present item, which has been featured in various media, is accompanied by the original receipt of purchase, a photograph of Coffman with the mask, newsclippings, FBI xeroxes and a typed summary of the history of the death masks from William J. Helmer, author of Dillinger: The Untold Story, December 1, 1994.

In the present letter, written from his home in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Barnum exhibits great excitement for the debut of the Circus in the Spring of 1871 and alludes to one of the greatest hoaxes in American history, namely “The Cardiff Giant.” Barnum’s prized attraction, his Cardiff Giant was actually a reproduction of the mysterious petrified statue discovered in New York in 1869, which the showman made in a campaign to advertise the original as a fake after his bid of $50,000 had been refused by the owner.

Barnum also writes to Coup that he will join him in New York with Admiral Dot (a.k.a. Leopold Kahn - a young little person hired as a midget performer by Barnum): “I will join you in a show for next Spring and will probably have Admiral Dot well trained this winter.” Barnum mentions George Wood, who as a young boy had joined Barnum in the early days of the small operation. He later opened Wood’s Museum and Menagerie and, after Barnum had fallen on hard times financially, agreed to purchase Barnum’s animals in exchange for 3% of the profits. In the present letter, Barnum states that he is attempting to buy back the animals from Wood who “allows for calling himself my successor. (3 per ct. on receipts)” Barnum ends with a post script refering to the “Siamese Twins,” specifically Chang and Eng Bunker.

Guide for Prospective Sellers Evaluation of Property If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department at 312.280.1212 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary.

Standard Commission Rates Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; fifteen percent (15%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2,001 or more but less than $5,001; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2000 and less with a minimum commission of $25 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price.

Shipping Arrangements Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. can advise you as to how to have your property delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and deducted from the proceeds of the sale.

Appraisals Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances. Please contact our Estates and Appraisals Department at 312.280.1212 for further information.

Guide for Prospective Buyers Conditions of Sale Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue.

Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.

Conditions of Sale LESLIE HINDMAN AUCTIONEERS, INC. AS AGENT The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.

BEFORE THE SALE Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above.

All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references.

Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment.

Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid.

Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding.

Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot.

In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount.

Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive.

Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser.
