He made his money ambulance chasing but he was mostly known as a celebrity blowhard who said such outrageous things that people just had to see it for themselves.

The Bill Maher of his day. I doubt he was any higher a moral being than we know Maher to be.

As far as what he did or did not do with young men in his office, that is an open question. The one thing that we can be sure about, is that there was SOME secret and great sin in the life of that man that drove him

I agree - we can't know what he did or didn't do behind closed doors. But I doubt it was an accident Solone picked that "he liked young men .... hundred dollar bills .." passage by accident. His followup praising Ingersoll for their being no commands, no demands in his household .... is ridiculous.

Either way, "liking young men", putting hundred dollar bills in their hands, spoiling one's children, and being a blowhard hardly make someone a humanitarian .... which is what Solone called him.

OTOH maybe he thinks thats as close to humanitarianism a freethinker ie atheist/agnostic can get.
