In June 2015, <mask> was arrested in Saudi Arabia for opposing Saudi-led intervention in Yemen. He was visiting the Kingdom on a private tour with family when he was arrested. On July 1, 2015, media sources began citing unconfirmed reports that Hamid has been sentenced to 8 years in prison, and 1,000 or 1,200 lashes, for criticizing the Saudi government. Media reports later claimed these reports about the sentence could not be verified. The Pakistan embassy has officially requested consular access and information about the charges against Hamid. He was released in the start of October 2015 due to lack of evidence and baseless allegation of spying for Iran.<mask> alleges that the allegation of spying was hatched up by the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), India's spy agency. During an interview in 2020, Mr. Hamid claimed that then Pakistan Army chief General Raheel Sharif and DG ISI Lt. General Rizwan Akhtar had played an instrumental role in securing his release. Books

He also played for England and captained the England team both before and after the First World War with markedly different success. As well as playing cricket, <mask> was a notable amateur boxer who won the middleweight gold medal at the 1908 Olympic Games. Early life
<mask> was the son of successful timber merchant <mask> (1853-1930) and Julia Ann (née Tyler) and was born at Stoke Newington, London in what is now Belfast Road. He was educated at Moulton Grammar School and Felsted School, where at school he was coached by the former first-class player  T.N. Perkins, and joined his father's wood-importing firm, which supported his amateur status in cricket and boxing.<mask> also played football once for the England amateur side (occasion unknown, through loss of records). He served in the Bedfordshire Regiment throughout World War I, eventually as major (acting lieutenant-colonel). Boxing career
<mask> took up boxing while still a schoolboy, and won the Amateur Boxing Association 1905 middleweight title, when boxing out of the Belsize ABC. In 1908 <mask> won an Olympic gold medal as a middleweight boxer. All three of his bouts, including the final, described by The Times as "one of the most brilliant exhibitions of skilful boxing, allied to tremendous hitting, ever seen. ", were held on the same day. The silver medal winner, Snowy Baker, 44 years later falsely claimed that <mask>'s father was the sole judge and referee.Baker never publicly contested the close points verdict which <mask>, who scored a second-round knockdown over him and won in their Olympic final.

Cricket career
<mask>  was an untiring fast-medium bowler and obdurate batsman who was nicknamed with a play on his initials JWHT as "Johnny Will Hit Today", or conversely "Johnny Won't Hit Today" by Australian hecklers.He captained the school teams at Felsted and was a member of Wanstead C.C. He made his Essex debut at the age of eighteen against Yorkshire, and bagged a pair, with George Hirst dismissing him in both innings. He played in only two more matches that season, and in the 1902 season did not appear at all in first-class cricket, while working incessantly on his game in practice. He regained his place in the Essex side in the 1903 season, playing eleven matches "but was still anything but a good player". The improvements in his game continued, and by 1905 he had become a strong county bowler, finishing top of the Essex bowling averages with 31 wickets at an average of just above 26, and taking the first of his three first-class hat-tricks, against Yorkshire at Leyton. In 1908, he passed 1000 runs in a

 season for the first time, and had matured into a leading all-rounder, who took over the captaincy of Essex in 1911, a captaincy which he retained until 1928. He played for England before and after the First World War.<mask> was named as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1915, but play was suspended during the war years. After the war until 1923 had to carry Essex's bowling on his shoulders except when George Louden turned out. He took over 100 wickets in a season seven times with a best of 147 in 1920. The following year against Derbyshire he produced perhaps the most remarkable all-round performance in English first-class cricket history. After taking nine for 47, <mask> stopped a breakdown against Bill Bestwick with an unbeaten 210 that tired him so much he did not bowl until the end of Derbyshire's second innings. He then took two for none, giving him a match record of eleven for 47. <mask> captained England eighteen times, with a Test match record of won eight, lost eight, drawn two.Successful as stand-in captain in Australia in 1911, he won the series 4–1. On the 1920/21 tour of Australia he led a depleted post-war side which suffered a 0–5 'whitewash', a scoreline not repeated in an Ashes series until the 2006/7 England team lost by the same margin. Reappointed reluctantly by the M.C.C. in 1921, he lost the first two Tests at home to Warwick Armstrong's side and was displaced as captain but retained in the XI. He captained England in one further Test match, against South Africa in July 1924, and played his final Test on the 1924/25 England tour of Australia. Later life

<mask> married Evelyn Ruby (sister of two of his close wartime friends), the widow of Captain Thomas Elphinstone Case, of the Coldstream Guards, and daughter of Adolphus Ferguson, on 25 December 1916. He had no children but one stepson, the actor Gerald Case.<mask>

<mask>n-trained interpretive dancer and actress whose career suffered after she became entangled in a breach of promise lawsuit with a member of one of America's wealthiest families. Early life

<mask> was born on October 3, 1898, in Huron, Texas, a present-day ghost town with the Cedar Creek Baptist Church as its last surviving structure. She was the daughter of <mask>, an accountant who would later become general manager of the Alamo Cottonseed Company and Florence West Evans, the daughter of a Dallas life insurance agent. Her family later moved to Dallas, where by the turn of the twentieth century they were boarders at a rooming house owned by her maternal grandparents. Fontaine's paternal 3rd great-grandmother was Martha Henry, daughter of American founding father Patrick Henry. Her grandfather, <mask>, served in the American Civil War as a colonel under Confederate generals, Stonewall Jackson and J.E.B. Stuart.After the war he taught at Baylor Female College in Independence, Texas and later held the chair of Latin for a decade at the University of Texas. Not much is known here about <mask>’s early life except that by 1915 she was living with her mother in New York City and that at an early age she traveled to California where she became a protégée of dancer Ruth St. Denis. Later she would claim she was also trained by Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, but this has yet to be verified. Career

<mask> was taught the Dance Egyptienne by St. Denis’ husband, choreographer Ted Shawn, one of several dances Shawn would teach her based on his interpretation of Javanese ceremonial dancing. <mask>’s stage debut may have occurred on December 16, 1914, when she performed Shawn’s Syvillia in a production staged by St. Denis’ company at the Ye Liberty Playhouse in Oakland, California. The next year she was booked to perform the traditional Jockey Dance at an annual celebration that follows the running of the Saratoga Cup in upstate New York. <mask> went on

 to tour nationally with dancer and future film actor Kenneth Harlan  before joining the Ziegfeld Follies where she would later shine in Ziegfeld’s Midnight Follies (1919).Around this time she also appeared in The Ed Wynn Carnival as the Queen of the Nile at New York’s Amsterdam Theater. <mask> was among a group of entertainers who in 1919 donated their talents to a benefit costume ball held on behalf of blind war veterans at Manhattan’s Ritz-Carlton. The next year at the Casino Theatre (Broadway) <mask> helped put on a memorial charity show that honored the actor Frank Carter on the first anniversary of his death. In 1920 <mask> worked on three motion pictures, Madonnas and Men, playing the dual roles of Nerissa and Ninon, Women Men Love as Moira Lamson, and as a dancer in A Romantic Adventuress. Within a few years though, <mask> would be limited to performing her “Oriental style” dancing at cabarets and nightclubs as her sensational court battles with a member of one of America’s wealthiest families most likely derailed any chance she had of attaining future stardom in New York or Los Angeles. What also should have or karmically so derailed her future stardom was that on New Year’s Day in 1925, <mask> brutally beat Jennie Harrison, her African-American household worker. Jennie rightfully demand that <mask> pay her after being denied pay for three weeks.Harrison’s request was met with a coat hanger and Harrison claimed that <mask>, “in a rage, thrust a revolver under her nose.”  (42)

 Houston, Texas, whom she had met on a train ride the year before. Their marriage was annulled in February 1920,  around the time she became involved with millionaire Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney. This relationship collapsed when Whitney became engaged to Marie Norton, sometime before Fontaine gave birth to a baby boy that December. On January 14 of the following year, Sterling Adair was found shot to death at his Oak Wood apartment in south Dallas. A police homicide investigation would prove inconclusive and a later coroner’s jury would rule Adair probably died by his own hand. Legal battles

In the summer of 1922 <mask> filed what would turn out to be the first of several lawsuits against Cornelius “Sonny” Vanderbilt Whitney, claiming he had broken his pledge to marry her and that he was the father of her son.Whitney’s attorneys countered that <mask> was still married to Adair at the time of the proposal and that the date of her marriage annulment was contrived by <mask> and her mother. Over the next several months the case would become headline fodder for the national press; in the end though, Whitney’s attorneys prevailed and the case was dismissed. After the trial’s end, <mask> and her mother were arrested for perjury; charges that were in due course vacated by a judge. <mask> continued the battle with subsequent lawsuits against Whitney that would fare no better than the first. Parents' deaths

On January 21, 1928, <mask>’s mother was killed near New Smyrna Beach, Florida, when her automobile collided with a Florida East Coast Railway passenger train. <mask> had been on her way to Miami to care of her daughter who had fallen ill. <mask>'s father died on August 19, 1939, while on a visit to her home in Margate, New Jersey.

<mask> (January 5, 1794 – June 18, 1865) was a wealthy Virginia planter who served in the Virginia Senate from 1823 to 1827. In the last three decades before the American Civil War, his pro-slavery writings received more attention than his agricultural work. <mask>, a slaveholder, staunchly advocated states' rights and slavery, arguing for secession years before the Civil War, and became a political activist with the so-called Fire-Eaters. <mask> is given credit for "firing the first shot of the war" at the Battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861 and fought as a Confederate soldier despite his advanced age. When the war ended in Southern defeat in 1865, he committed suicide rather than submit to "Yankee rule." Ruffin is also known his pioneering work in methods to preserve and improve soil productivity. He recommended crop rotation and additions to restore soils exhausted from tobacco monoculture.Early in his career, he studied bogs and swamps to learn how to correct soil acidity. He published essays and, in 1832, a book on his findings for improving soils. He has since become known as "the father of soil science" in the United States. Early and family life
<mask> was born on January 5, 1794, at Evergreen Plantation just east of Hopewell in Prince George County, Virginia. A descendant of William Randolph, he was born into Virginia's planter class aristocracy and inherited large tracts of land along the James River. His father was <mask> (1765-1810) and <mask> was named after his grandfather, <mask> (1744-1807), who represented Prince George County in the Virginia House of Delegates during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1778, 1782-1788). He received a private education suitable to his class, then attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.In 1813, <mask> married Susan Hutchings Travis of Williamsburg. The couple moved to a plantation that <mask> inherited from his namesake grandfather,

 at Coggin's Point, along the James River in Prince George County, which was noted as the departure point of Benedict Arnold after he switched allegiances  and raided along the James River (including Richmond) in 1781. They had eleven children before <mask> died in 1846, although most would die before the American Civil War ended and their father committed suicide: <mask> Jr. (1814-1875), <mask> Beckwith (1816–1865), Julian Calx <mask> (1821–1864, who died at the Battle of Drewry's Bluff), <mask> Sayre (1821–1860), <mask> Bland (1823–1855), <mask> Dupuy (1829–1855), Charles Lorraine <mask> (1832–1870; VMI graduate who survived the war), <mask> (1832–1855), <mask> (1844–1863) and George Champion <mask> (1845-1913). Antebellum life

Soldier
Ruffin enlisted as a private in the Virginia Militia during the War of 1812, and served as secretary of the 4th Virginia Infantry, but did not experience battle. Decades later he enlisted in the Palmetto Guards of South Carolina. Planter and intellectual
Ruffin, like many other planters in Virginia, farmed using enslaved labor. He owned several plantations including Coggins Point and Shellbanks in Prince George.In 1820, he owned 52 enslaved negroes and mulattoes in Prince George county, which number had grown by 1830 to 86 enslaved people,  and by 1840 grew to 96 enslaved people. The 1850 census was the first with separate slave schedules, and by then <mask> owned 84 enslaved people in Prince George county,
 and 41 enslaved people in  Hanover County, Virginia. In the 1860 census, 31 slaves of <mask> were leased to someone in Charles City county, his sons <mask> Jr. and J. C<mask> owned 95 slaves and 22 slaves, respectively in Prince George county, and probably <mask> owned additional slaves in Hanover County. In his twenties, Ruffin began experimenting with using marl to rejuvenate the soil on his land that had been worn out by more than a century of monoculture of tobacco, a

An educated man, Ruffin was interested in agricultural science but did not like farming or supervising slaves and in 1835 moved from his plantation in Prince George to the City of Petersburg becoming an absentee landowner, leaving the day to day management of his plantations and supervision of slaves to overseers. In 1843, Ruffin purchased another plantation, Marlbourne, in Hanover County near Richmond, in the Virginia Tidewater and moved there from Petersburg. Tobacco had long been cultivated on the land and the soil was exhausted, so Ruffin became a serious agronomist and a pioneer in promoting conservation and soil rejuvenation.Ruffin became one of a circle of intellectuals who worked to change various aspects of Southern life. His colleagues included Nathaniel Beverley Tucker, George Frederick Holmes, James Henry Hammond, and William Gilmore Simms. Their interests spanned Southern society. For example, Ruffin edited writings of William Byrd of Westover Plantation The Westover Manuscripts, containing a history of the dividing line twixt Virginia and North Carolina: a Journey to the Land of Eden A.D. 1733 and a Progress to the Mines. (Published in Petersburg, Virginia in 1841 and in Albany, New York in 2 volumes in 1866). Many in the group argued "stewardship" justified slavery, influenced by the evangelical tradition that generated reform in the North as well, and published their recommendations and "jeremiads" in short-lived periodicals and felt unjustly neglected by fellow Southerners. For a time in the 1840s, <mask> was editor of the Farmers Register.He did serious studies of the possibility of using lime to raise pH in peat soils. Ruffin presented a paper, later expanded into an article for American Farmer and eventually into the highly influential book An Essay on Calcareous Manures (1852). He explained how applications of calcareous earths (marl) had

 reduced soil acidity and improved yields of mixed crops of corn and wheat on his land, which had been worn out by two centuries of tobacco farming. These works and others have led to his being called the "father of soil science" in modern times. During the pre-war years, Ruffin also studied the origin of bogs and published several detailed descriptions of the Dismal and Blackwater swamps in Virginia. Some now consider Ruffin better known for his substantive contributions to agriculture, rather than his claim to have fired the first shot of the Civil War at Fort Sumter. However, his advice on the value of marl was not widely followed in his own time.In an 1852 address, he warned planters that not paying attention to their soil could lead to ruin, and the South suffered from exhausted soils after the Civil War. Slavery activist
<mask> strongly supported slavery and what he considered the Southern way of life. He became increasingly outspoken as sectional hostilities heightened in the 1850s. Some called him a Fire Eater because he advocated secession and armed conflict in defense of the South. Noting how his audience had changed, he wrote in his diary in January 1859, "I have had more notice taken on my late pamphlet [on slavery] than on anything I ever wrote before." In 1859, <mask> traveled to attend the execution of John Brown at Charles Town, Virginia (now West Virginia), following the abolitionist's abortive slave revolt at Harper's Ferry earlier that year. To gain access to the event, Ruffin joined the Virginia Military Institute corps of cadets (from which his son had graduated).Wearing a borrowed overcoat and carrying a weapon; the aging, white-haired secessionist marched into Charles Town with the young cadets who had been ordered up from Lexington. <mask> would soon purchase several of the pikes captured from Brown and his forces, which had been intended to arm slaves in a general uprising. Ruffin sent a

 pike to each of the governors of the slave-holding states as proof of violent Northern enmity against the South and slavery. In 1860, <mask> published his book, Anticipations of the Future, to Serve as Lessons for the Present Time. Written in the form of letters to the London Times from 1864 to 1870 from a fictional English resident in the United States, he played out the result of the election of Republican candidates in the United States. He predicted an American civil war in 1868 following the re-election of President William H. Seward, which would ultimately result in a victory for Southern states. Although most of his predictions were wrong, <mask> did correctly predict that the war would start with a Southern attack on Fort Sumter in South Carolina.Civil War

After the election of Abraham Lincoln as president in 1860, <mask> traveled to South Carolina, where he had previously worked as an agronomist, hoping to encourage secession (perhaps because, as Swanberg says, his fellow Virginians found his views too extreme). He wrote to his son, "The time since I have been here has been the happiest of my life." <mask> is credited with firing one of the first shots from Morris Island against the federally held Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, which is generally considered the military event that initiated the war; the actual first shot against Fort Sumter was a signal shot by Lt. Henry S. Farley from Fort Johnson under the command of Captain George S. James. <mask> was also the first person to enter Fort Sumter after it fell to Southern forces. During the Civil War, his grandson Julian Beckwith was one of the first Petersburg Confederate soldiers to fall during the Battle of Seven Pines on May 31, 1862. As Union forces threatened Richmond the next summer, <mask> left Marlbourne for Beechwood, the Prince George County home of his son, <mask> Jr. In June 1864, after the Army of the Potomac under General Ulysses S.

 Grant stealthily crossed the James River into Prince George over a hastily constructed pontoon bridge a few miles east of Beechwood at Flowerdew Hundred, <mask> allegedly escaped capture by hiding under a load of hay in a wagon driven by one of his slaves.He fled west to the relative safety of another son's plantation home, Redmoor, in Confederate-held territory west of Petersburg in Amelia County. Several of <mask>'s plantations were occupied and plundered by Union forces during the war. His plantation on Coggins Point was the scene of the Beefsteak Raid during the Siege of Petersburg. Death and legacy

When the war ended with Confederate defeat, <mask>, who had already suffered the loss of his wife and eight of his eleven children, was crushed. Increasingly despondent after the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House in 1865, along with the other surrenders that were to follow, <mask> decided to commit suicide. On June 18, 1865, while staying with his son and daughter-in-law at Redmoor in Amelia County, <mask> went up to his room with a rifle and a forked stick. He was called away to greet visitors at the front door.After they left, <mask> returned to write a final diary entry:

And now with my latest writing and utterance, and with what will [be] near to my latest breath, I here repeat, & would willingly proclaim, my unmitigated hatred to Yankee rule—to all political, social and business connections with Yankees, & to the perfidious, malignant, & vile Yankee race. <mask> wrapped himself in a Confederate flag, put the rifle muzzle in his mouth and used the forked stick to manipulate the trigger. The percussion cap went off without firing the rifle, and the noise alerted <mask>'s daughter-in-law. However, by the time she and his son reached his room, <mask> had reloaded the rifle and fired a fatal shot. <mask>. and neighbor William H. Harrison transported his body to Marlbourne, his plantation in

 Hanover County, Virginia, for burial. Both Evergreen (Hopewell, Virginia), the plantation house which his father built in 1807 on the plantation on which <mask> was born, and the Edmund Ruffin Plantation (also known as Marlbourne), remain today and are designated as National Historic Landmarks. <mask> is often called the "father of soil science" in the United States, and his writings have been influential in soil conservation.Date of death uncertainty

<mask> had long proven himself to be a dedicated diarist. He posted three diary entries on the day of his suicide indicating that day to be June 18, which fell on Sunday. Nevertheless, the date was drawn into question by his son <mask>.’s June 20 letter advising brothers George and Thomas of the death. <mask>.’s letter, which surfaced in 1924, unambiguously related the death to have occurred “Saturday last at 12 1/2 o’clock” which was June 17. Biographers Allmendinger and Scarborough extensively reviewed Ruffin’s diary entries and the son’s letter, as well as the circumstances of burial and newspaper publication of the death, and they have debated the case to be made for the 17th and the 18th dates. They have both concluded June 17 to be the more probable date of death, and that Ruffin had become confused and erred in dating his final diary entries. Works by <mask>in

He was also involved in coordinating the humanitarian response and in the establishment of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission, the central structure of the reconstruction. In June 2011, he resumed his work at UNDP as Resident Representative and Humanitarian Coordinator in Niger. Prime Minister

By the end of August 2011, unofficial comments of Haitian politicians indicated that <mask> might be the next nomination for the post of Prime Minister. On 5 September, he received the official designation for this office from the President Michel Martelly.This would be the third nomination after Jean-Max Bellerive's resignation on 15 May, 2011 and the subsequent rejections by the Senate of the nominees Daniel Rouzier and Bernard Gousse. <mask>'s nomination faces questions regarding his recent residency, as to whether he fulfills the requirement, prescribed in the Constitution of Haiti, of having resided in the country for five consecutive years prior to ratification. The president countered this argument by saying that <mask> was exempt from the residency requirement because he had been working for the United Nations, paying taxes to the United Nations for Haiti. The review and ratification process of his nomination began on 8 September, 2011. The Chamber of Deputies approved his appointment on September 16, in a unanimous vote. On October 5, 2011, the Haitian Parliament confirmed <mask>'s appointment as Prime Minister, making him the 16th and the youngest Prime Minister under the current 1987 Constitution of the country.

 clashed with ministers and Martelly over several issues, most recently a parliamentary investigation into government officials who hold dual nationality, which is illegal in Haiti. Martelly refused to comply with the investigation, stating the executive branch did not have to comply with the investigation. Some ministers cooperated with the investigation, but others refused. When <mask> called a meeting with ministers to discuss the matter, none appeared. That incident demonstrated their lack of confidence and triggered the resignation. <mask> remains prime minister until his successor is appointed, according to Article 165 of the constitution. He is succeeded by Laurent Lamothe after going through both parliamentary legislative chambers voting results with formal appointment in May 2012; he also held before his nomination and still keeps the ministry control for Foreign Affairs and Cults (Worships).Publications

<mask> (19 November 1888 – 12 November 1961) was a wrestler, butcher and philanthropist from Kristiansund, Norway. He is most known for participating at the 1912 Summer Olympics and for launching the idea for the Kristiansund and Frei Fixed Link. Løvold started wrestling during his journeyman years while living in Oslo. He joined IF Ørnulf and became Norwegian Champion in Greco-Roman wrestling in 1912. This qualified him to the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, but Løvold lost both his matches in the light heavyweight event. He moved back to Kristiansund in 1913, where he founded a wrestling club and started as an instructor. He also founded wrestling clubs in Molde and Trondheim.As a butcher, he ran several butcher shops in town. From 1951, Løvold dedicated his time to working towards a fixed link for Kristiansund. Early life and professional career
Løvold was born on 19 November 1888 in Kristiansund, Norway, as son of Missionary Ole Løvold (1846–1919). Løvold started as a butcher apprentice with his brother B. O. Løvold, before setting out on his journeyman years, where he worked at Bye in Bergen and Axel Jensen in Oslo. He received his trade certificate in 1910. He moved back to Kristiansund in 1913, where he lived for the rest of his life. He married Bergljot, who died in 1958.Løvold established a butcher shop in Storgaten in 1914, which he ran until it was taken over by the municipality in 1917. He then operated various retailing businesses until joining Nordmøre Slakteri. There he was chief of operations until the slaughtering company closed in 1932. He then established Ansgar Kjøtt og Pølseforretning, which at first was located at Nordmør Landbruksforretning butafter two years moved to Massestretet. His store was destroyed in the

Subsequently, a committee led by Ole Mollan was appointed, which criticized the original committee for not prioritizing more critical transport investments. During the entire planning and construction of the Tromsø Bridge, Løvold subscribed to both the Tromsø newspapers, Nordlys and Bladet Tromsø, to follow the development.Erling Kjeldsen, who was the main initiator of the Tromsø Bridge, was an inspiration for Løvold. Following in the steps of Tromsø, Løvold established Tunnellforeningen ("The Tunnel Association"). Its prime goal was to circulate a petition, which received 6,000 signatures—two-thirds of the electorate. The organization also featured paroles in the 1961 Constitution Day parade. During the summer, Løvold painted a large, while "tunnel entrance" on a cliff at Spellmannshaugen as a public relations gimmick. The point he painted was the exact location the Freifjord Tunnel would have its opening. Another organization, Fastlandsforeningen ("The Mainland Association") was established by Løvold on 27 September 1961.That year another public committee was established, again chaired by <mask>. <mask> died on 12 November 1961 in Kristiansund, 72 years old.

He was described by contemporaries as a round-faced, rosy-cheeked boy, with sparkling dark eyes; active though not physically strong. <mask> then attended private school at Golden Hill near Bridgeport, Connecticut, where his academic advancement was so rapid that he was fully prepared for college at the age of 15.He graduated from Yale University in 1860, valedictorian of his class and a member of Skull and Bones. In the same year he married Ellen Maria Sheffield of New Haven, Connecticut. They traveled in Europe, where, in Paris, in 1861, their first child, John Jay II, was born. <mask> attended Columbia Law School, graduating in 1863. Following this, he practiced corporate law in New York City. In 1864, their second child, Sheffield, was born. <mask> followed the family career in banking and industry, serving as a director for the National City Bank, the Second National Bank of New York, the United States Trust Co., the Farmer's Loan & Trust Co. and nine railroads.After the birth of his two sons, he bought a summer home in Bergen County an old-fashioned Dutch farmhouse on the "Teaneck Ridge," an area of Teaneck now adjacent to Route 4 that had been the Garret-Brinkerhoff House in Revolutionary War days. <mask> extensively renovated the old homestead, converting it into one of the most beautiful and celebrated mansions of its time. In 1868, the last child, Marian, was born; she would go on to give birth to his

 grandson <mask>. In 1869, following the death of his father, John Jay, <mask> retired from his law practice and moved the family full-time to Teaneck. Congressman

Combining eloquence with an interest in politics, <mask>, a Republican, sought and won a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 1872 at the age of 34, representing New Jersey in the 43rd congress. During his first term in Congress. <mask> was considered by his colleagues to be a serious, well-versed and mature public servant - a successful young lawyer, ambitious, with money and energy who was expected to make his mark on politics and statesmanship.<mask> failed in his first bid for reelection, in 1874. After his term ended, <mask> returned in 1875 to his Teaneck home, where he planned improvements to the homestead and looked for additional land investments nearby. In the next year, he embarked upon a European tour, partly to regain his health which had suffered from a bout of typhoid fever. While abroad, <mask> investigated institutions of learning and art in England, France and Germany, and enjoyed the society of scholars, authors and scientists. Arboriculturist
Returning to the United States, <mask> spent most of his time resting and working on his most important hobby—his estate. His great passion was trees and the woods; he was a devotee of arboriculture. Between 1875 and 1880 <mask> was responsible for planting approximately 600,000 trees of numerous varieties.In 1880 <mask> was selected to manage the Republican Presidential campaign but he was unable to complete the assignment because of feeble health. In 1881, President James A. Garfield named <mask> as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Austria-Hungary, but he held this post for only a few months, resigning after Garfield was assassinated. Still active in politics, <mask> was re-elected to Congress in 1883, 1885 and again in 1887. Art collector

 the family held a glorious celebration with people from all over the country viewing the mansion for the first time. <mask>' favorite room was a gallery which he had designed himself to hold his priceless collection of art treasures from the ends of the earth. It was nearly midnight on April 1, 1888 when <mask>, returning to his apartments in Washington, D.C. after an evening with friends, found on the table in his bedroom two telegrams which told him that his mansion in Teaneck, where his family then was, had been totally destroyed by fire, with a loss of nearly all its valuable contents.He disturbed no one upon receiving this startling news, but very early in the morning awakened his secretary, told him what had happened, and said that he was going to take an immediate train for New York. He left on the train without once alluding to the great calamity. The mansion, once the most beautiful in the area, became known as "<mask>' Ruin" and local residents picnicked near the destroyed home, marveling at what it once had been. <mask> immediately began renovation of the house. German Ambassador
In 1889, <mask> was appointed by president Benjamin Harrison as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Germany. On October 11, 1889, <mask> was presented to the German Empress at a gala performance at the Royal Opera House, given in honor of the Czar of Russia. <mask> remained in the post for one year until a case of homesickness prompted his request for a short leave of absence.He sailed for America in September 1890. In his diary <mask> wrote,

<mask> returned to Germany a year later, remaining in this post until January 1893, when his health began to suffer due to the climate. He traveled south, vacationing in Spain, Morocco, Tunis, Algiers and Italy, hoping the climate would improve his health. State judge and final days

In February 1894, <mask>' throat began to trouble him seriously, and the illness confined him to his home for days. He continued to try to keep up with his work and was present until the adjournment of the term.A few days later he traveled to the Hygeia Hotel at Old Point Comfort in Virginia, a resort that in the past had been a place of rest for him. <mask> became withdrawn and quiet, an attitude brought on by his physical inability to converse. The last entry in his diary is dated April 10, 1894. <mask> moved himself to Hot Springs, Virginia, where he enjoyed a temporary return of strength. Finding no lasting improvement in his health in Hot Springs, <mask> returned to his home in Teaneck on May 18. By May 31 he was bedridden, and in June he lapsed into a coma. He died June 17, 1894.Hundreds of people lined the streets of Teaneck and Englewood to honor his funeral procession. The trees he had planted himself lined the path of this final journey.

<mask><mask> (c. 1865 – December 11, 1895) was an American socialite, gambler, arsonist, and murderer. Due to his ability to manipulate others, the newspapers of the era dubbed <mask>, "The Minneapolis Svengali," "the most cold-blooded murderer that ever walked God's footstool", and, "the most bloodthirsty soul ever to usurp the human frame." A seemingly respectable member of Victorian polite society, <mask> shocked almost everyone who knew him when he was exposed as the mastermind of one of America's most infamous crimes during the Gilded Age—the 1894 murder for hire of dressmaker Catherine Ging. In the hours before his hanging at Hennepin County Jail in Minneapolis, <mask> gave a detailed interview to his cousin Edward Goodsell and a court reporter. He admitted to numerous arsons, assaults, swindles, and three unsolved murders. Early life
<mask><mask> was born in Macoupin County, Illinois, the son of William and Lodusky <mask>, and was brought to Minneapolis at the age of one year. When he was about six years old, his family briefly returned to Illinois and stayed for about one year.Following his return to Minneapolis, <mask> "went to a private school conducted by Mrs. Lockwood on Sixth avenue north, and stayed there perhaps six months." Afterwards, he attended the Minneapolis public school system until graduating high school. According to Minneapolis alienist W.A. Jones, <mask>'s boyhood, "shows marked characteristics. In early life he was recognized by his school fellows as a bully, brutal in his instincts, enjoying the sufferings of

 others, and delighting in the torture of domestic animals." According to Fr. James M. Cleary, a Roman Catholic priest who briefly served as his spiritual director, <mask>, "received no positive religious instruction", beyond being, "taught the difference between right and wrong", and being encouraged, "to do the right and avoid the wrong".However, "no motive was assigned", as to, "why he should shun evil and do good. All was vague and shadowy." Upon graduating, <mask> became a clerk before beginning to gamble at the age of twenty. <mask> later stated that even before this, "my god was always money." According to Fr. Cleary, <mask>, after succumbing to what a later age would call gambling addiction, began "to quiet the stings of conscience" by carefully studying Atheist writings. He reportedly avoided writings critical of Atheism, "for he sought what he found in the ridicule of religion, encouragement for his disordered and deceitful life."Dr. Jones elaborates, "He seemed without a conscience and felt no more concern in planning or executing a criminal deed in manhood than, when a boy, he deliberately impaled a live cat on the side of a fence. He did not seem to realize the enormity of his acts and the influence they exerted on the community as everything he did builded and strengthened his personal egotism." Ging murder
In January 1894, <mask> met Katherine "Kitty" Ging, a tenant of his parents at the Ozark Flats building on Hennepin Avenue and Thirteenth Street. He persuaded her to front him large sums of money, which he used gambling. When

 Ging demanded the return of her money, <mask> paid her with counterfeit currency. Privately, however, he described her as, "an easy mark." On December 3, 1894, Ging's body was found, shot behind the ear, on a road near Lake Calhoun.It was later revealed that <mask> had persuaded her to purchase a $10,000 life insurance policy which named him as sole beneficiary. <mask> appeared to be in the forefront in the search for the killer. He began playing up the fact that Kitty had borrowed money from him, and how he was certain someone killed her for it. However, <mask>'s brother Adry confided to a family friend Levi Stewart that <mask> had asked him to do away with Kitty. Stewart contacted the Hennepin County Attorney’s office. Adry revealed that the actual killer was Claude Blixt. After the confession of Claude Blixt, he and <mask> were arrested.Trial
<mask>'s trial for first degree murder began, before Judge Seagrave Smith, on January 21, 1895. Hennepin County Attorney Frank M. Nye appeared for the prosecution. <mask>'s defense team included William Erwin, known as "The Tall Pine Tree of the Northwest", and John Day Smith, a Baptist Deacon and Republican State Senator. Smith's experiences as a soldier in the 1st Regiment Minnesota Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War had inspired him to become Minnesota's foremost death penalty abolitionist. The trial lasted, according to <mask>, a total of 46 days and consisted in the calling of 136 witnesses. The prosecution's main witnesses were triggerman Claus Blixt and <mask>'s older brother Adry

 <mask>. The defense unsuccessfully tried to have Adry <mask>'s testimony ruled in-admissible, calling him insane on the subject".In overruling the objection, Judge Smith quipped, "Well, I don't see that he is any more insane at the present time than the attorney is." After the defense took over, <mask> took the stand himself and denied all allegations. The case went to the jury on Friday March 8, 1895 at 11:30 AM. At 2:15 PM, the jury returned with the verdict, "We, the jury, find the defendant, <mask><mask>, guilty of murder in the first degree." On March 11, 1895, presiding Judge Smith sentenced <mask> to death by hanging. Interview
Prior to his execution, <mask> gave a detailed series of interviews to his cousin Edward H. Goodsell. During this conversation, he admitted to numerous acts of illegal gambling, arson and three other murders.Transcripts were taken down by a court stenographer. His victims included a twenty-year-old "sporting girl" whom he met in Pasadena, California. <mask> claimed to have lured her into a remote location in the Sierra Madre, shot her in the back of the head, and buried her in the woods. <mask> then made off with $7000 which she had carried in her wallet. <mask> also claimed to have fatally shot a "consumptive" near Long Branch, New Jersey, robbed him of $2000, and disposed of his body in the Shrewsbury River. According to Harold Schechter, "His most brutal crime, however, was the slaying of a 'Chinaman' in a New York City gambling joint on Mulberry Street. Getting into an altercation over a card game, <mask>,

 'knocked the Chinaman down and kicked him in the stomach.'He then picked up a chair and jabbed the pointed end of one wooden leg into the man's eye. Then, while he was, 'down and howling," <mask> sat down on the chair. 'His skull was kind of thin,' <mask> related with a chuckle, 'and I heard the chair leg smash down through his skull.'" <mask> only admitted his involvement in Ging's murder, however, when it became clear that no reprieve was going to arrive from Minnesota Governor David Marston Clough. At the end of the interview, <mask> quoted the poem, "Happy the man," by John Dryden, saying that it encompassed his philosophy of life. According to Harold Schechter, "Throughout the confession, <mask> does in fact display many of the traits that we now know are typical of serial murderers: overweening narcissism, juvenile sadism... pyromania, a total lack of empathy for other human beings. Like other serial killers, he would experience his 'murderous impulse' as a kind of autonomous 'second self that would suddenly 'come over him.'Interestingly, he also seems to have suffered from convulsions as an adolescent, possibly as a result of a head injury – a factor found in the background of many serial killers." Execution
On the early morning of December 11, 1895, <mask><mask> was hanged at Hennepin County Jail. On the evening of December 10, he said, about members of the clergy, "I like these men and want to show them respectful consideration, but I do not care for religion. As a general thing, men in this sort of predicament get religious because

texts: they think it will brace them for the final ordeal. I do not need it. I am perfectly contented." At midnight on December 11, <mask> was visited by John Day Smith, who extracted from him a promise that he would publicly proclaim his faith in Jesus Christ from the scaffold.Moments later, <mask> was clothed in a black robe and cap and led to the gallows by Hennepin County Sheriff John Holmberg. As he ambled to the scaffold, <mask> cheerfully bade the spectators, "Good evening" and requested three cheers for himself. Upon being asked if he had any last words, <mask> gave a long and verbose speech and cracked so many jokes about his imminent death that one eyewitness later recalled that the spectators, "looked upon him almost as if he were a stage performer who would soon take his bow, receive his modicum of applause, and retire." Eventually, <mask> kept his promise to Smith, "He is a religious man and I told him I would pledge him what he asked of me to say. I pledged it to him, although if I honestly believed it, I would say it, and satisfy myself, and it was this: 'Oh, God, for Christ's sake, forgive me for my sins.'" <mask> also said of his brother Adry, "He has done me no wrong. I have done him a great injustice and wrong, and I have asked for his forgiveness and received it."<mask>'s, "flippant monologue," continued until Sheriff Holmberg cut in and ordered him to, "Die like a man." <mask>'s arms and legs were then pinioned and the noose was thrown around his neck. He sneered and quipped, "Keep up your courage boys!" <mask>'s last words were

 those of a gambler, "Pull her tight; I'll stand pat." The gallows trap swung open at 2:12 AM, but death was not merciful. The rope had been mis-measured and <mask> slowly strangled. He was finally pronounced dead at 2:25 AM December 11, 1895.Sheriff John Holmberg was paid $250 for his services. Burial
After being conveyed to the city morgue, <mask>'s body was autopsied. His brain was removed and weighed in at 55 ounces. In accordance with the then-popular pseudoscience of phrenology, measurements were taken of <mask>'s skull in accordance with the theories of Italian criminologist and physician Cesare Lombroso, who believed that criminals were a distinctive humanoid type. It was announced that <mask> had possessed a "symmetry of skull, brain and face; the protrusion of the front teeth, and the narrow and arched palate". In conclusion, doctors ruled that <mask> was "a degenerate biological phenomenon somewhat below the savage and above the lunatic." Following a funeral ceremony at Lakewood Cemetery, <mask><mask> was interred in a family plot at the Minneapolis Pioneers and Soldiers Memorial Cemetery.Serial killer? In 2010, Minneapolis-based historian and true crime writer Jack El-Hai again brought the crimes of <mask> to national attention. El-Hai had first learned of <mask> while writing an article for the 100th anniversary of the Kitty Ging murder  in 1994. Deeply chilled by <mask>'s cold-blooded nature, El-Hai continued his research on the case for decades. When Edward Goodsell's 1896 book about his cousin was digitized and put on Google

 Books, El-Hai read the transcript of <mask>'s last interview for the first time and learned of his admission to 3 other unsolved murders. In a February 2010 article for Minnesota Monthly, El-Hai argued that if <mask>'s claims are proved to be true, then his crimes predate those of H. H. Holmes and are contemporary with those of Jack the Ripper. El-Hai expressed hope that <mask>'s other alleged victims would rise from obscurity, as no other justice for them is now possible.He argued that, if this ever happened, <mask> would be proven to have been America's first serial killer. True crime author and historian Harold Schechter has written, "In the end, it is impossible to know whether <mask> killed one victim or (as he claimed) four. All that can be said with certainty is that, as a case of criminal psychopathology – 'moral insanity,' in the terms of his contemporaries – <mask> was, as Goodsell and others saw it, one of the most remarkable specimens of his age." Conspiracy theory
According to <mask>, rumors soon spread that <mask> had been secretly resurrected by a secret society. When researching the Ging murder during the early 1960s, <mask> heard claims that the Freemasons' Grand Lodge of Minnesota had resurrected him. <mask>rry, however, expressed skepticism that <mask> could have survived both hanging and dissection. Ballad
The murder ballad The Fatal Ride, which describes <mask>'s involvement in the Kittie Ging murder, was written in 1895 by Joseph Vincent Brookes, a songwriter and "tragic poet" from Brainerd, Minnesota.When Brookes
