Semi-Weekly Interior Journal Tuesday October 6 1891 Stanford Kentucky
Harrodsburg was treated to a genuine sensation this week, when Robert C. Nuckols, cashier of the Mercer national Bank, "came up missing." It was currently reported in different portions of the county that when the fact became known the depositors made "a grand rush for what was coming to them." On arriving at Harrisburg a few days after his departure, I asked a leading lawyer and the one who had been called in to examine Nuckols' accounts, if these reports were true and he said: "Not a word of it. I examined everything and Nuckols, so far as the bank is concerned, left nothing out of shape. Everything is square to a dollar." Nuckols left a note stating that he would be back soon, but gave no reason for his sudden and mysterious departure. His beautiful and excellent wife is heart broken and is two little children seem to realize the situation. A handsome young lady is said to be a figure in the case and the business of married men and women losing their heads is getting to be so common that it is really growing monotonous all over the country. With all the good people in it, Harrisburg is a resort of modern Sodom anyway.

Stanford Kentucky January 29, 1892
Robert C. Nuckols, late cashier of a Harrodsburg bank, who mysteriously disappeared and was found in California, writes to the Georgetown Times to say that any paper or person who hereafter charges that his flight was cause by drink or theft, "by the power of truth, I affirm that I will hold him individually responsible for a personal recantation." He claims «u»that «/u» worry unsettled his mind and drove him off, he knew not whither.

«b»Turnkey Believes Nuckols Has Lost his reason
Behaves Strangely in His Cell and Laments His Vain Effort in Suicide
«/b»It is the firm belief of the guards at the jail that Robert C. Nuckols, held to answer on charges of forgery and obtaining money under false pretenses has become insane. They say he refuses to stay in bed at night, walks and runs about his cell, yell and keeps the other prisoners awake. He had not slept for almost 5 days and nights. Since he attempted to end his life last Sunday by cutting his throat with a small pen knife, he has been acting strangely. He mopes all day and will have nothing to do with any one. He objects to every suggestion of the guards and at times appears to be raving mad. The worst spells come at night, when he often becomes so wild that the guards have to force him into his bed by main force, after fierce struggles. Yes let alone he will run about his cell at night like a maniac. At times he refuses his food, but at other times he eats ravenously. He talks about his attempt at suicide and complains that he did not have the nerve to carry out his threat. "When the blood began to flow," he says, "I lost my nerve and stopped." Nuckols was a man of high standing in the community and was the treasurer of the McFerren Memorial Baptist church. He had many friends in business circles and was thoroughly respected. "The cause of all his travels was "dope" and the lack of it is what is the matter with him now," said a man who knows him. "He was led to attempt to end his life by the desire for dope because his troubles became multiplied when he felt the effects."
The guards do not think it possible that he is only pretending to be insane in order to make such a plea in the courts. They have seen cases of that kind and cases of real insanity are not rare at the jail.
The above account, from the Courier -- Journal, is another chapter in the sequel to my story in the Blade headlined "Skeleton." I am going to press this story to its end, because Nuckols is a man who got his religious training under the man J. J. Rucker, the prohibition editor in Georgetown, who had me sent to the penitentiary for publishing "obscene literature," the literature being that I was exposing him for having taken from Atherton a big distiller, $6000 for educating young men to the Baptist ministry and $1000 for building a bad taste church, Atherton evidently giving the money to assist him in a race for Congress, and Nuckols having come from a very high position in society and church and usefulness by beginning as a whiskey drinker. Nuckols and I were Clark in two rival banks in Georgetown. The only business dissatisfaction between me and the bank I was in -- the "Deposit" -- was when I insisted that I owed the bank $7.50 And the Cashier, Judge James Y. Kelly, then poor and now rich and still living in Georgetown, said I did not owe it and we had a quarrel about it, and I told him I would say it to be take, or leave the bank -- in which I was also a stockholder -- and I did pay it. Judge Kelly was, and is, a fanatical religionist of the Campbellight brand and once, in a personal discussion with me sad to me "the Bible said that Jonah swallowed the whale I would believe that just as I now believe the whale swallowed Jonah." He believed in spiritualism which I exposed and ridiculed just as I did, and now do religion, and I was dismissed from that bank because I was an infidel. They put into my place a man named Wolf who was a Christian. Wolf stole $15,000 from the bank and was put in the penitentiary at Frankfurt, and was killed by a guard who shot him with a rifle when Wolf was attempting to escape. My salary at Georgetown was $100 a month, and after I had been dismissed from the Georgetown bank, Judge Kelly recommended me, when I did not even know about it to Grinstead and Brantley, bankers in Lexington, telling them that they ought to pay me $150 a month, and on that recommendation the Lexington banking house in employed me. Kelly knew that Grinstead was an infidel and new that my religious opinions would not hurt his bank. Through all of this Robert C. Nuckols held his place and was soon promoted to the cashiership of another tank, because he was a Christian, and from that other bank he ran off with a bad woman and went to California, leaving his wife and children and taking his wife's money. I never knew, or knew of, but two infidels who suicides and today were both most excellent and exemplary men. One of the came to see me when I was in the penitentiary. They left -- one in writing and the other in a statement to a friend -- their reasons for their intended suicide, and they were both printed in the Blade. They occurred about the same time, neither knowing, or knowing of, the other, one in the South and the other In the North. Each by singular coincidence, explaining that he was going to commit suicide because he was hopelessly afflicted with rheumatism and was a tax to his family, each saying, as was true, that he left his family well provided for. One blew his brains out with a pistol and the other to poison, and, in the interest of science, carefully recorded all his symptoms as long as he could write. Nuckols, the Christian, however, who was reared, and had lived, a Christian, and was the treasurer of the big rich McFerrin church, wanted to get out of his misery, but did not have the nerve. It takes nerve to be an infidel and it takes cowardice to be a Christian. In the mean while we are seeing some of the fruits of the religious training of the man Rucker , who had me put in the penitentiary because my infidel prohibition paper did go and his Christian prohibition paper would not go.
Blue Grass Blade, Lexington Aug 14, 1904
Another Sequel to My "Skeleton" Story
"R C Nuckols attempted to cut his throat at the county jail, but was stopped by Jim Howrad who was confined in the same cell and whose small penknife Nuckols had borrowed. He did not suceed in inflicting serious injuries. "
The above is from the Courier Journal in a list of suicides and attempted suicides, for July, in Louisville, and makes a second sequel to the story I printed in the Blade, in which I gave, without giving names, an account of a couple I knew who were exceedingly religious, Nuckols being the man to whom I referred. I have, since then, printed, from the Courrier-Journal, the account of the forgeries of Nuckols and his wife's leaving him. I have thought it probable that Nuckols would do something about like the above item, but I did not think he had the nerve to really kill himself. The special interest in this case to me is that Nuckols was educated under the religious guidance of J J Rucker, the Christian Prohibition editor who had me put in the penitentiary for being a "free lover and the editor of a free love paper.", and that Nuckols' downfall is attributable to whiskey drinking and that he was employed by Atherton the distiller, from whom Rucker took $7,000 to build a Baptist Church and to educate young men for the Baptist ministry. The Prosecuting attorney for the Government who tried me has since died from drunkeness and a covict in the penitentiary who was a leading politician and editor, told me that he had several times taken the judge who tried me to some place to care for him, because the judge was too drunk to take care of himself. But Rucker, and the attorney and the judge and Nuckols were all Christians together. There are Infidels who encourage liquor drinking. All such are, to that extent, helping Christianity.

«b»Sequel To the Skeleton Story«/b»
In the last Blade I printed a story headed "Skeleton for a Religious Novel -- All Accurate except the Names
Since Then the Courier Journal has printed my story given the names. It is as follows:
Arrested Again
new charge against Robert C. Nuckols accused of forging J. in Atherton and companies name to note for $5376.
Robert C. Nuckols, though held under three bonds of $500 each on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, was arrested last night at Ninth and Broadway by detectives Maher Sexton on the charge of forging the name of JM Atherton & Co. to two notes , aggregating $5376.10. Nuckols, who was until about a year ago a prominent business man and leading churchman, is now forced to answer to 4 different charges. He has been presented in Police Court and held to answer on the three charges of obtaining money under false pretenses. He is alleged to have passed worthless checks upon J. Bacon And Sons for $15, the Kaufman - Straus Company for $25, and the Herman Straus & Son' Co for $50. He has separated from his wife and is said to be living at 413 W. M St. When found by the detectives last night he was with Mrs. Lillian Orender and her child. They were walking down Broadway and were greatly inner age when he was placed under arrest. The detectives say they believe he had heard that the forgery charge was to be brought against him, and that he was going to be Street station to leave the city. His actions were suspicious, and though he carried no baggage, the officers were convinced that they arrested him just in time. The Orender woman created a scene when the detectives approached, and she demanded that a warrant be presented. Knuckles joining her in this demand, but they were introduced to believe that a warrant was not necessary. The mother of Lillian Orender has signed Nuckols' bond in previous instances. He will be presented In Police Court this morning and will be prosecuted both by Mr. Atherton and the officials of the bank where the forged notes were discounted. Nuckols claims that Mr. Atherton gave him the authority to sign the notes. This is absolutely the night by Mr. Atherton. Nuckols was at one time employed by the Atherton firm. Nuckols was educated at the Georgetown College, the religion of which was principally managed by Rucker. It will be noticed that the Courier Journal said his Nuckols was a "leading churchman," as is nearly always the case with men of his kind.

Robert Nuckols Sent To The Lunatic Asylum
For a long time at different times I have told you about a very devout Christian named Robert Nuckols about whose misdeeds the newspapers have had much to say. He has, for some time, been in jail for forgery. He has some how been sent to a lunatic asylum. Had he been without infuential friends and an infidel be would have been sent to the penetentiary.
