The late Dallas Tenbroeck once wrote on Theos-Talk:

===========================================================
1894 - 96

Mr. Crosbie supported Mr. Judge's principles fully. He acted as
one of the "witnesses on the scene." He, kept the "link" of
pure Theosophy "unbroken," after Mr. Judge's death.

The hints given by W.Q.J. during his life in regard to Crosbie
were not grasped by those around him, who had what they fancied
to be their own positions. And, in addition, seemed to be
glamoured and deluded by the psychic powers Mrs. Tingley
exhibited (she had only been a member for only a year prior to
Mr. Judge's death).

In New York, Mr. Neresheimer, who was Mr. Judge's executor and
Mr. Hargrove went through Judge's papers. They found what was
later described as an incomplete and very fragmentary, cryptic
diary of Mr. Judges', but which Hargrove claimed (in 1896) to be
an "occult" diary; and in this, he said he detected that Mr.
Judge had indicated that Mrs. Tingley was to "succeed" him.

Mr. Neresheimer had introduced Mrs. Tingley to W. Q. J. about a
year before his death. She became a member of the T S and later,
a member of the E S. She was a psychic and apparently did not
have a very profound knowledge of Theosophical philosophy.

In a later posting I will detail the errors and inadequacies of the
above statement.
