N H Barbout had a magazine called Herald of the Morning. It got into financial difficulties and C T Russell put money in and became Assistant Editor but left in May 1879. I think the following month the paper folded. I understand C T left as he was not made Editor, though the WTS say it was due to difference of opinion on the ransom.

Re: Yknot about Franz's Baptism
I found that really weird when you mentioned that, so I looked it up. Looks like the article you quoted was from Franz’s memory. The society must have gotten their date from an article written after his death (ideal time to make shit up… after someone is dead) "Rewarded With the Crown of Life", The Watchtower, March 15, 1993, page 31, 32 It says in that article that he was baptized Nov 30 th 1913. And the one in 5/1/87 that you quoted is actually from Franz himself where he says he was baptized in 1914… Apparently he was wrong about his own baptism, a fact that could only be changed after his death where he couldn’t say anything about it.
