Still a decent working copy of an unusual treatise. Lu B. Cake was actually a reverend from New York named Robert S. Young. His daughter Dorothy Lena Young became Harry Houdini's assistant. ; The author presents the case of who killed Jesus as a lawyer would during a trial. He contends (and backs up with historical and theological information) that the Jews were not responsible for his crucification. Towards the end of his treatise Cake writes, "The Jews condemned and rejected Him according to their law. The Gentiles scourged and crucified Him contrary to their law." ; frontispiece portrait of author; 16mo 6 3/4" x 5"; 118 pages.…
