tom s.:
Apologies to all.Maybe I was BS'ed.I cannot get the story from my mind after 34 years.I did see the newspaper article where my father was being sued (to no great help for anyone)when I was in school.Could that have been a hoax? I don't know.Art used to talk about taking great doses of niacin and how it would clean out the veins and tiny cappilaries of drug byproducts,strychnine pockets,for one.I actually believed that.Niacin DOES do just that.BUT-strychnine pockets?Very f'in doubtful.I forgot all about that.I don't really know what the story reality was.It appears to have been more of a drinking related poisoning.I have tried to check archives,but police files would probably lead the way to the answer.I do not remember following the story any furthur in 1971.How does one get into (cold case files) if in fact they had been ended and mended that long ago?

Go to the clerk of courts and ask them to do an archive search in the civil and criminal divisions. They'll need a date range and specific terms you're looking for, such as surnames.
First management had plans and then strategic plans. Now we have vision, and we're only one small step from hallucination.

Tom, you have absolutely nothing to apologize about. The inverse is true.
We have all at one point or another repeated these urban myth type stories that really are at their core bullshit but somehow the story on its face is believable because it appeals to our fears or our general belief systems.
It is the others here that refuse to review their belief of the story just because it supposedly came from the o holy seed that need to think about why they adopt that attitude.
Antigen:
Yeah, what he said. Sorry, dunno where my manners went. We all bought into a lot of bull in those days. And if you're buyin', you're sellin' too.
I honestly was stunned speechless over the niacin thing. I don't remember that from back then. But I do know of one other cult that recomends large doses of niacin for purification.

Then I remembered that Art received some sort of award or something from a Mason's lodge in Clearwater after the Seed shut down.

Sort of `splains a lot, don't it?
When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.

Ginger, I think they may have been another Art Barker, the one that got the award in clearwater. Not sure, but when that first appeared I searched the name and sure enough, an Art barker that lived in clearwater showed up.
