Lincoln, Douglas, and Speed

[L Verge]

I had an interesting phone call today from a gentleman in upstate New York who has a miniature oil on ivory depicting Lincoln, Douglas, and Speed. He believes that it was painted by one of the artists in Canandaigua, New York.

The gentleman says that Stephen Douglas and Lincoln once opposed each other in a court case held in Canandaigua. Does anyone (Herb?) have information on this? I know that Lincoln went against Stanton in the Manny vs. McCormick Reaper Case held in Cincinnati, but what about Douglas vs. Lincoln on the legal matters?

P.S. I referred the gentleman to Harold Holzer.

P.P.S. It was also the first time that I have actually talked to someone who believes that there is (and has been) world control under the auspices of The Illuminati. For awhile, I read up on that theory, but finally got disgusted and gave up. Of course, some think that the Illuminati disposed of Lincoln.
