The first check which they received was on the trial of Sir George Wakeman, the queen's physician, whom they accused of an intention to poison the king.
Being asked the reason of these strange speeches, he said, that two men, called Grove and Pickering, had engaged to shoot the king, and Sir George Wakeman, the queen's physician, to poison him. This intelligence, he added, had been communicated to him by Dr. Tongue, whom, if permitted, he would introduce to his majesty.
It is hoped that the members of the Pioneer Club will do all they can to support this fund, for it is an effort to give some tangible expression to the principles which governed the lives of both Mrs. Croly and our own president. They always unselfishly tried to give loving help to sister women. January 27, 1903. The Positivist Episode By Thaddeus B. Wakeman
"And you are very happy?" she pursued, with tender solicitude. "Nettie makes you a perfect wife, I suppose." "Perfect," he assented gravely. "And you haven't missed me at all?" "Can you ask?" It was the way in which all men spoke to Marie Wakeman, married or single, rich or poor, one with another. He laughed inwardly at his lapse into the expected tone.
Released at last from the dressing station, Wakeman and five or six others were taken to the bathhouse. The corporal who led the way, the bath orderly who provided soap and towels, and the wounded Irishman who was given the bath next to Wakeman's, all heard scraps of the story, learnt the essential fact that Wakeman and his pals had strafed the Prussian Guard.
"Grove and Pickering, then, it appears, were to shoot His Majesty; and Wakeman to poison him " "Yes, my Lord," said Tonge. "They were to have screwed pistols, with silver bullets, champed, that the wounds may not heal." Then my Lord Danby lost his patience; and pushed the papers together with a sweep of his arm.
They were given several times, and then carefully spelled at the request of the large-whiskered man, who desired that no mistake might be made. "You may call me Ned Trimble, and that ugly-looking fellow 'tending to the fire is George Wakeman, and that horrid-looking chap scrubbing off his dirty face, is Alfred Wilkins.
Bad luck to that same shell, for a bit of it took me under the knee. But what matter? Only, mind this, what you did to the Prussian Guard wasn't in it with what that shell did to them two Boches. You'd have been sorry for the blighters, so you would, if so be you could have found a bit of either of them big enough to be sorry for." Wakeman had no reply to make to that.
I had an opportunity to touch the social needs of the community by coöperating with the University Settlement which was then in its infancy. I opened the church edifice for their lecture course which included Henry George, Father McGlyn, Thaddeus B. Wakeman, Daniel de Leon, Charles B. Spahr, and W.J. Sullivan.
Please remember that I never forget the union of the spirit we once enjoyed that the Positivist Episode was a positive factor in my life, and that I shall always recall Mr. Wakeman as my chief helper in it. David G. Croly must not be forgotten. He rendered our country an invaluable service, not yet recognized. He was the man who planted Positivism in America.
