Later he developed a test to detect the presence of fish oil contaminants in vegetable oil. He was president of the Scientific Oil Compounding Company.

He also wrote a book called Why Was Lincoln Murdered? (pub. 1937) in which he propounded his theory that the assination of Abraham Lincoln was set up by Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War. The book was popular at the time, but attacked by profesional historians as consisting of nothing but "disconnected implication and innuendo" (J. G. Hamilton).
