See "A Conspiracy Exposed" 1894. There is a link to a PDF file in one of the threads here if you do a search.
Here's a link. It is unfortunate that evidence from the other side of this squabble is no longer available.

It is a three page thread, however, the pdf files listed in the thread are no longer available!
CB LEMUELS WAS HE PSEUDONYM
LEMUELS MEANS SON OF GOD
Yes, this nom de plume (pen name) kept the Russell name from being in the limelight. And we all know how he hated that. Well, that is, except for the hundreds of articles that were published in newspapers throughout the country, penned by Charles Taze Russell!
Were the books produced with the pseudonym? Or were they loaned by someone using the pseudonym? The 1894 WT article refers to newspaper ads by a Mrs Lemuel offering to loan the books. Isn't that the extent of the use of the name? Or, did I misread?
