MUTUAL LIFE RAUD SYSTEM STARTLES JURY Prove Policyholders Robbed of $5,000,000 in One Department. BUY PHANTOM SUPPLIES

In One Instance, Bill for $1200 Was Paid With $4500 Check, WHO GOT THE RAKE-OFF?

Indictment of “Men High Up” Expected to Be the Answer, a

NEW YORK, May 30.—More amazing than any of the disclosures before the Armstrong Legislative Committee of corruption and fraud in the manage- ment of large life insurance companies was testimony just given before the Special grand jury. It was conclusively shown that. the policy holders of the Mutual Life have ‘been robbed of sums which may exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate, through the supply department alone in the past 20 years. Who got these stealings is not yet clear; but that they went into the up- building of the great private fortunes of several men is indicated by the facts before the grand jury. It is expected that the identity of these men will be clearly established before the end of next week and that indictments will follow. It was shown that L. W. Lawrence, when he got an order for certain lines of work of the Mutual Life, sublet a part of it to McKibben & Son. In one specific case the charge for the work done by McKibben & Son was $1200, but the firm got a check from. the Mutual Life for $4500. As soon as the $4500 check arrived McKibben & Son sent their check. for $3300, the difference between the Ss and the honest charge, to L. W. Bmwrence. Thelatter is supposed to have turned the $3300 over to Andee Fieta&.” Jt is conchuded thatet the money in his legislative work, but this has not been legally established, This case of the $3300 check was mere- ly one of a great many which extended over a period of over twenty years. All of these bogus bills for work done by McKibben & Son during the past 10 years were “O K’d" by Fields as the head of the supply department, passed tavorably by Fieids’ immediate executive superior in the Mutual Lite. usually Vice-President Walter R. _ Gillette; passed upon again by the Expenditures Committee and then paid by the casnier. Not only were these padued bilis paid, but even @ more barertaced fraud was perpetrated. Lawrence, or somebody in Lawrence's employ, kept on hand a stuck of blank bills of Mchibben & Son. Lawrence has a large printing establish- ment and billheads identical with those used by McKibben & Son were turned out on its presses. Bought Phantom Supplies. These blank bills were often used to make charges against the Mutual Life for absolutely fictitious supplies and work supposedly done by McKibben. If the grand jury has learned who filled out these bills the fact was carefully s:ife- guarded. All that could be learned was that these bills. like the others, were pussed upon by Fields, then by Vice-President Gillette and then by the Expenditures Committee. and paid by the cashier. These bills for the fictitious supplies were not receipted for in the regular way by McKibben & Son, but that seems to have been a detail which aroused no suspicion: whatever in the Mutual Life. This particular fraud, like the others, had been practiced many years and not the slightest protest was ever made by anybody in the Mutual Life. Not content with getting the money | of the policy holders of the Mutual Liie vy these means, phantom firms wele created on paper and rendered bills for ohantom supplies. One of these firms was Charles Parsons & Co., supposed jealers in advertisers’ novelties. One of the bookkeepers in Lawrence's store is named Charles E. Parsons. He will be called at an early date to ses er he knows about the firm of Charles Parsons & Co. paceome & Cv, had fine billheads. The ohils were filed out by somebody «in “awrenece’s place and at intervals the i Mutual tife was charged with thousands sf dollars for supplies which were never jJelivered and which never existed. These bills‘for the mythical suppliés ‘rom the phantom firm were gravely sut tlrough the regular routine. Fields vaced upon them his official stamp, which signified that the goods had been wrdered at the prices charged and that hey hed been duly received by the ompany. Then Vice-President Gillette fave the bill his O K, and, the Ex- yenditure Committee, composed of Rob- tt Olyphant, president of the Albany ty Susquehanna Rallroad: James C. dolden, peeeinens of the National Safe Jeposit Co.. and Charles E. Miller, a Sawyer of high standing, gravely met, erutinized the bills, affirmed their in- tals beneath the steno of Fields and Hilette and tnen passed them along o the cashier. That official simply saw to it that they rere regularly stamped and initialed by Nelds. Gillette and the members of the xpenditure committee, and drew a heck. which was forwarded to the Adrese of the phantom firm. In due me the bill came beck receipted and > @hecks were put through the banks a the regular way. Predicts Big Expose.

ROOSEVELT GETS REPORT eee

His Special Commissioner Wit- nessed Inspectors’ Conduct at Slaughter House. HOME CONSUMERS SUFFER

Government Inspection a Farce, Says Kansas City Bac- teriologist. Spec.al to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, May 30.—How 24 out of 31 diseased. cattle were ‘‘passed’’ under the eyes of James R. Reynolds, one of President Roosevelt's special commis- sioners, was divulged today by a man who accompanied Reynolds to the plant of the Standard Slaughtering Co. This scene directed in a large measure the report of the commissioners and brought about the inspection bill now before Congress. Mr. Reynolds feached ‘the slaughter house early. Unknown to those in the place he made an examination of the cattle in the pen. Unmistakable signs of a hasty attempt to ‘‘clean up’’ were ap- parent. All the inspectors—city, State and Federal—were dressed in their best. Mr. Reynolds appeared in old clothes and boots, There were 31 cattle standing in the pens when he passed the place. With- out exception the “lumps” in their jaws, according to the testimony of one who was with him, varieq from the size of a cocoanut to that of a peck measure, Mr. Reynolds watched these cattle brought to the killing beds and slaugh- tered. “How many of them were condemned on post-mortem inspection?” he asked the City Inspector. after all @id been killed. ¢ commissioner turned away, sick- ened. Health Commissioner Whalen. says that he visited the yards last week and found conditions ‘‘much improved." He said his inspectors had told him that the packers had not found any spoiled meat for the last six months. A representative of Armour said: “Decomposed meat in cans would ex- plode. Even if the meat were spoiled slightly the process of decomposition would go on in the can. Gases would generate and the can would blow up.” In reply to the charge that condemned ecatile are manufactured into food at the Standard Slaughter House, the Armour man said. **All cattle condemned on the hoof are nlaced in quarantine at the Standard Slaughter House by the owner or his agent. The Standard Slaughter House is outside the vards and it is operated hy the Livesteck Exchanges The con- demned cattle are slaughtered under the supervision of,three sets of inspectors and of Secretary Baker of the Livestock Exchange.

Convicted of Picking Pockets and Sentenced for Five Years.

At 1;50 oner for the Penitentiary at Jefferson City. It was reported in police circles Tues- aay night that “‘Red,”’ whose real name is William, Giebe, under indictment for the murder of Frederick Scheel, the young law student who. was. killed when a gang of repeaters attempted tc assault Oliver J. Beck, a Republican judge of registration in the Fourth Ward three years ago, had disappeared. Preliminary to this report it was of- filally announced Tuesday that the Su- preme Court had affirmed a_ decision rendered in the Criminal Court a year ago whereby ‘Red’ was to serve five years in the Penitentiary for robbery. As soon as the Supreme Court’s ruling became known the police started out to look for ‘‘Red,”’ who was under a $30,900 bond signed by Charles Lemp for his appearance on the charge of young Schee!. He Eluded the Police. “Red” could not be found. The entire w"Every haunt whieh “Red” haa eats wont to frequent was turned topsy-turvey Tuesday night by the police-in their effort to find ‘‘Red.”’ He could not be found, and the police gave it out that he had jumped his $33,- 000 bond and was missing. Tuesday evening, long police had the Supreme Court had sustained the lower court in the robhery” charge against “Red,” Tom Tinney, the Fourth Ward leader, received the news and immediately got into com- munication with “Red,” with the re- sult that he was “planted” to await the arrival of the Supreme Court Marshal. Wednesday morning Maj. Finks re- ceived a_ telephone message that “Red” would be at the Laclede Hote! by 1:30, in time to make the 2:39 train for Jefferson City. The Marshal waited. At 1:30 a ctrriage rolled Laclede. Out jumped “Red,” accom- panied by Mike Kinney, a brother of Tom. The Marshal was in the corri- dor waiting. As soon -as he spied “Red” he took charge of him and the three entered the carriage and were driven rapidly to the station. ““Red’ wasn't hiding at all,” said one of the friends of the _ prisoner. “He just didn’t want the police to catch him ao they couldn't ‘fourfiush.. that was all.

The items below are BAR- GAINS. Sufficient said! $@and $7.50 Petticoats One let of handsome black and colored silk Petticoats, made of a fine extra heavy rustling silk taffeta.

‘Pennypacker of Pennsylvania Orders Police to Prevent Boxing Bout. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, May 30.—Just what started Gov. Pennypacker in his firm stand to suppress the Fitzsim- mons-Burns. fight. is somewhat of a mystery. No one has come forth as sponsor for his action in ordering the State Constabulary here. The story given the greatest. credence is that the Governor's ire was aroused by cleverly worded appeals that Dela- ware County had been made a dump- ing ground for fighters from all sec- tions of the country and that pro- moters who were unable to get a foot- Yhold in New York City had selected this State as a spot in which to pull off their bouts. Gov. Pennypacker’s aversion to box- ing and prizefighting is said te uave had its inception in a rather odd man- ner. When he was on the bench a few years ago, a young man was on trial accused of having killed anoth- er in a boxing bout. When the evi- dence was all in the Governor is said to have instructed the jury to bring in a verdict of guilty of manslaugh- ter. To his surprise, the jury a few minutes later returned a verdict of acquittal. Pennypacker censured it severely. The promoters of the Tuxedo Club announce that they will fight the case to the Supreme Court. Efforts have previously been made, especially in this city, to stop boxing, but every time the promoters have’ won. There have been several judicial decisions that boxing is legal] in this State. In order not to get into difficulties the promoters have confined their bouts to six rounds, each man knows before entering the ring what he is to re- ceive, therg are no titles fought for and no decisions aré given. Thus all elements of what is called a prize- fight are eliminated. Backed up by the decisions of the courts of Philadelphia County, the Tuxedo Club proposes to fight out the issue with the Governor to the last ditch. They claim that they are per- fectly within the law and that Penny- packer has usurped authority, both as to stopping a boxing bout and order.~ ing State police into a county without »an appeal from the Sheriff. This is the second time that Fitz- simmons has been stopped in this State on the eve of a fight. Two years BURNS.

PIE A i a me } FAMILY EXCURSION, ~ § OZARK RESORTS te aS id eae 'ton-St. Louls University Fitzporter dis- ‘pute could have been referred to for ad- udication as was done in the Western- mith tangle. Here was a contest that bid fair to be the most interesting of the year in school circles, in danger of . being called off on account of a petty difference as to whether the ame should be played in St. Louis or Alton. The executive board of the _§ Inter- scholastic League decided that the game must be played in Alton next Saturday. Both teams will abide by the decision and play ball. @Goach Walker has set his heart on the Central boys acquitting themselves with honor at the Field Day games. The Knox College man. notwithstanding a deal of hard work, has been unfortunate with his charges during the past year. At the last moment Smith beat Centra! out of a chance to win the football championship and the baseball team has been a huge disappointment. Central was beaten Washington’s interscholastic day. and has also lost at Columbia. Wednesday Walker looks for the boys to retrieve themselves. The quality of track and field athlet- ics seems to have deteriorated at Smith gince the. days of Hayden Curd, the Wear boys and Ed Stannard, and not much is expected from the Red and White Wednesday. Coach Chase has worked hard with’his boys, but their has been such a small squad of candidates available that beyond the performances of Klipstein and Blackmer little will be accomplished in the matter of scoring points for Smith. Princeton's second victory over Har- vard on Saturday in one of the so- called championship baseball games ended any hope that the Cambridge team might have had for the inter- collegiate title. Princeton's record has been so much the best to date that defeat by Yale is the only thing which could prevent the Tigers claim- ing the championship. Interest cen- ters, therefore, in the series between these two teams, the first game of which will be played at New Haven on Saturday. . Last Monday Princeton was unexpectedly beaten by the Mer-

Wednesday by a score of 2 to 1, and Harvard on Saturday by a score of 5 to 0. Yale showed to better advantage last week and seems to have overcome the slump, which threatened to end in disaster. Pennsylvania was easily de- reated on Wednesday by a score of 13 to 0, while Cornell was disposed of on Saturday after a hard-fought game by ad score of 2 to 1. Early in the season Pennsylvania beat Yale 5 to 4. Since then Harvard beat the Quakers 4 to 1 in 10 innings, and Princeton shut them out by a score of 5 to 0. i Pennsylvania showed a flash of form by scoring over Brown on Saturday, after the latter team had beaten Har- vard on Wednesday. This only served to make the college baseball tangle harder than ever to unravel. Wil- liams kept up her good work and de- feated Dartmouth on Saturday in a long 16-inning game. This gives the Willlamstown collecians a forward place. Cornell's detvat by Bucknell and Yale indicates that the’ team, while a good one, is not of champion- ship caliber. As near as can be fig- ured, the standing of the leadin teams is now as follows: Princeton: Yale, Brown, Williams, Dartmouth, Harvard, Cornell, West Point, Anna- polis, Holy Cross, Amherst, Wesleyan and Columbia, It is reported Cornell rowing 4du- thorities are aggrieved at Harvard. claiming the latter has appropriated some of Coach Courtney's ideas, and that in consequence the Cornell crew wills not again row Harvard at Cam- bridge. College baseball players who wear glasses are supposed to be consider- able of a rarity. Camp of Yale has been advertised as the only college second baseman in the ceuntry who wears glasses. Armstrong of Colum- bia also wears them. Umstad always wears glasses while. pitching and playing the fleld, so that these three conatitute the honor list of the un- usual. Some college baseball players are considering seriously the project of wearing shin guards while they play. This will save a good deal in the line of bruises.

20,000 Graves Decorated at Arlington — Veterans Are Obliged to Use Carriages. PORTSMOUTH, W. Va., May 30.—At the Memorial Day exercises at the navy yard here today, held under the aus- pices of the Army and Navy Union, made up of the regulars of the United States who participated in the Civil War. President Roosevelt delivered the principal address. The President praised the work of the regulars in the most recent crisis, the. earthquake and fire at San Francsico. “The first Americans outside the city,”’ he said, ‘“‘who were able to extend re- lief and help were the officers and en- listed men of the garrison and the ships in the immediate neighborhood of San Francisco. “The alertness, the to the demand made mixture of self-reliant instant response upon them, the initiative with orderly obedience and coherence of ac- tion, the high personal valor and the steady endurance and strength shown by the soldiers and sailors of the regu- lar army and navy in coping with th’‘s disaster, were as great as if shown in time of battle.’’ AGED CHICAGO VETERANS “MARCH” IN CARRIAGES.

OFFICER TRIES 10 Instead of Arrest, Constable Visits Victim to Plead for Him. Jacob B. Mueller, pioneer- St- Leuis County saloon keeper, who is in a seri- ous condition at his home on the live street road from a blow on the head struck in a fight with Mark Gumberts, Said Wednesaay that he would continue his fight against the so-called ‘“‘clubs” in St. Louis County and that he would prosecute Gumberts as soon as he re- covered. Gumberts, though in easy reach of county officials, has not been arrested. As Mueller, who is 53 years old, was about to board a Suburban car for his home Monday night he and Gumberts got into an argument on the ‘‘club’’ question and Mueller was struck on the back of the head. It was at first thought that Mueller was struck with the butt end of a re- volver in the hand of Gumberts, but Mueller says the revolver was held in Gumberts’ left hand, and that ‘‘knucks’”’ were used on him. Mueller said to a Post-Dispatch re- porter a she lay in bed with his head bandaged, that as soon as he was able to be up he expected to go to Jefferson City and tell Gov. Folk of conditions in St. Louis County. “Right is right,’’ said Mueller, ‘‘and if he lid is to be put on saloons Sun- day, there is no reason why a saloon should be operated under the guise of aclub. I close. Why should others keep open? “There are several so-called clubs near Delmar Garden, where young people rink, and then go over into the garden where sober people are. Constable Interceded. “Constable. Lenz came to me, as | lay here yesterday, and tried to per- suade me not to prosecute the man who struck me for no cause except that I opposed his ‘club’ and others. But | shall prosecute him, and if I cannot get justice at Clayton I shall go elsewhere to seek it. “The way things are now is a shame on the State and County... Men who are ready to break the law come to St. Louis County in the spring and satay until fall, leaving as soon as the garden season is over, ‘They have made it so that an honest and law-abiding man cannot make a liyv- ing in the saloon business.”’ Mueller’'s saloon adjoins Gumberts’ roadhouse and ‘Louisiana Club,"’ just west of the Suburban car tracks, at the east end of Delmar Garden. Gumberts wags not at his place of busi- ness Wednesday. It was said that he had been there Tuesday afternoon and that he was at Clayton later in the day as a witness in the Townsend murder case. FETE IS PROLONGED.

|Hospital Benefit at Carrswold Extended to 10 P, M: The managers of the big garden fete at Carrsawold for the benefit of the St. Louls Children's Hospital decided that Wednesday afternoon would not be long enough for those who wish to show their good will tow-rd the cause, and therefore extended the at yey to 10 p. m., the opening to be at 2:30 p. m. Supper will be served between 5 and 8 o'clock and Japanese tea will be served throughout the afternoon and evening. Mme.

SHIELD GUMBERTS

CA NE: EE ABE RIE On a tN Oe a a WOUNDED BURGLAR LEES HOSPITAL Nurses and Policeman Fail to Capture Negro Who Escapes, With a bullet wound in his abdomen and another in his arm, David Hender- son, alias Harry Smith, the negro shot by Patrolman Cuddihee when caught jn the act of burgiary, escaped from his cot in the City Hospital by jumping 30 feet Irom a window. Henderson led hospital employes an exciting chase... He crawled to the ledge of the window near his cot, and before the nurse in the ward could stop him vaulted over and climbed down. An alarm was quickly given and Night Clerk Birdman and several night stretcher carriers started in pursuit. Po- liceman Bucheim jumped on a Califor- nia avenue car in his effort to overtake the negro, but when he got off at Grat- tan street and Chouteau avenue Hen- derson was. not in sight. Henderson was formerly chef of the private car of President S@onts of the Clover Leaf Railroad, now chief of the Panama Canal. Dr. John Young Brown, superinten- dent of the hospital, was asked by a Post-Dispatch reporter regarding the responsibility for the escape. ‘This is not a penal institution,” he said. ‘‘We are here to care for the sick, not to guard the criminal. ‘‘Henderson was strapped by one leg to his cot. He was in a small ward with three cots. During the afternoon friends who calied on him either cut the straps or gave him a knife. He slipped to the window, dropped out and made his es- cape. “It is out of the question for us to'| place a guard over every prisoner brought here for treatment. We have an average of 2% such persons brought in every week. We can only take the precaution to strap them and place guards at the doors. ‘This is the second man who has es- caped this year. Sometimes there are

not as many as two in a whole year. The percentage is larger than that ween: ISCO NOW 3 LENDING MONEY a Gotham Brokers Cheer When $1,000,000 Is Placed on Change. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK. May 30.—There was loud ‘cheering on the Stock Exchange yesterday when H. P. Frothingham, a money broker, lent $1,000,000 of San Francisco money on the floor. This was part of a telegraphic mittance of $2,710,006 received vesterday from San Francisco banks. It marks the turn of the tide of gold from the stficken city. It is expected that over $40,000,000 will follow. In order to meet a possible run on the banks after the earthquake, the New York banks shipped 340,000,000 to San Francisco. When the banks reopened, instead of a run, more money was de- posited than was taken out. The re- sult is that money cannot be lent ad- vafitageously there, and it is coming back. re-

Lionberger Davis, who was _ Seeking to ascertain the purpose of the - mociety. “We purpose investigating the laws overning religious phenomena, We be- ie that the universe is one and that Bod is the same yesterday, today and - forever,” said Mr. Stewart. “You also believe in manifestations of gE spirit world, do you not? In other Words, are not a_ spiritualist?’ 4s 7 a gates ee eae PE PI “bas 2: a ee SME ee Ww pted,”’ answered Mr. Stewart. ‘‘We pudiate the word ‘medium.’ We be- ve, and have proof of it, that persons ; @an communicate with friends and rela- ’ tives who have passed through the change called death. These communica- tions are had with the aid of electro- yital magnetism with which some per- sons are gifted. My wife has the gift. When she is in a trance a spirit can transmit a message through my wife's rgan of speech to the senses of some oved one in the flesh.” Nothing Supernatural. “And do you believe that these mes- gages are transmitted without physical means? Do you think it is a super- natural transmission?” "There is nothing supernatural about it. My wife receives the message while in a trance and writes it on a card. But she does not know what she is writing because of her abnormal state during »the process.’ “Do you really think that spirits dic- tate these messages?’ * “JI don’t believe Moses wrote the Ten Commandments. I1 believe they were written on slates instead of tablets of @tene. There were no freight cars in Moses’ time in which the tablets of stone could be hauled about the moun- tains.”’ “Do you believe that Moses was in a trance when the commandments were written?” “He must have been,” Asked if there were any men of prominence who believe in such psy- @hic phenomena, Mr. Stewart men- tioned the names of several, includ- -ang Prof. James of Harvard, Prof. Hare of the University of Pennsy!]- i Vania, William Crooks of the Royal Bociety for Psychic Research, and F. . Meyers of the Society of Psychic mesearch of London. “Gladstone, in speaking of the Lon- Gon Society, said it was one of tlie , most important things in the world,” said Mr. Stewart. ' “Does your wife give these mani- | festations for pay?” was asked. — “No, sir, she would not do it for pay ' all the money in the world was laid ‘@t her feet. She holds it too sacred for that."’ Mr. Stewart explained that the asso- ‘elation holds services Wednesdays and Bundays, cents admission being ‘charged for the weekday meetings.

NEW YORK, May 30.—This is the very latest in up-to-date entertainments: “The elephant now goes round, the band begins to play,’’ sang Ray Cox, a vaudeville favorite, and ex-Congressman O. H. P. Belmont, on hands and knees, his arms plunged into rubber boots and a pink ribbon in his teeth, went through the motions of a trained Jumbo. This was only one of the scenes at a week-end party given at W. K. Vander- bilt Jr.’s Idlehour last Sunday © night. Mr. Vanderbilt is the son of Mrs Bel- mont. Hence they lifted the lid and threw it away. “Waiting at the Church" was another of Miss Cox's songs, and before it was finished Messrs. Vanderbilt and Belmont joined hands with her and danced a “Ring Around the Rosy” while the other guests laughed. There were 10 guests, including Mr. and Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, Mr. Barnes, Miss Martin of San Francisco and a Su- preme Court Judge. Among the enter- tainers brought from the city were Miss Hertz, a singer; Ray Cox, Greg Patt, a diminutive comedian, and an orchestra of five pieces. The spacious drawing room was the ring of the society clir- cus. her coon shouting and when Mr. Bel- mont turned himself into an elephant she led the intelligent animal around the room. He was so docile that he would lie down and sit up at command and even offered to eat out of her hand. Mr. Vanderbilt opened the ball by don- ning an automobile costume of his wife's and, with a carving knife, making the rounds of the room threatening each guest with a guillotine unless he ‘‘cut loose and enjoyed himself.’’ His orders were obeyed and the fun and frolic last- ed for several hotrs. Mr. Belmont's animal impersonations were the hits of the night. He not only played elephant, but as a bear he climbed chairs, danced and tried to hug some of the guests.° Then he jumped through a hoop. Before the party broke up a tennis net was brought in and Mr. Belmont and Mr. Vanderbilt turned the rope while all the party, professionals and guest, skipped the rope except Mrs. Belmont. She was too hefty, but she took a hand when leapfrog with her husband as the frog was played. Each one in passing over him managed to slyly kick or push him and when he finally straightened up he said he felt as if he had been riding bareback. Miss Cox said last night that she had participated in several of these society frolics, some of which were ‘‘swift,’’ t use her language. “But for pure fun and frolic,” added the singer, ‘“‘there never was such night as we put in at Idlehour. was very little champagne drank. Only one bottle was spilled on the piano, and Mr. Vanderbilt wiped it: off with one of the lace curtains.’’ Miss Cox carried the party away with produced on the cards in the hands of Mrs. Stewart were the product of un- seen forces, he replied that it was easier for him to believe that than anything else since it had been dem- onstrated to his satisfaction that there was no fake about the mani- festations. Mrs. Oscar Sibille, vice-president of the orgunizaen, testified that she purchased every bit of the cardboard used by Mrs. Stewart and swore they were perfectly blank when handed to her before a manifestation. Miss Mattie Gossman, the only wit- ness introduced by the opponents of the Truthseekers at. Tuesday’s ses- sion, testified that she attended a class of Mrs. Stewart’s about two vears ago. She said Mrs. Stewart was trying to develop in her a power to get into communication with the spir- it world, but did not succeed. She said Mrs. Stewart had given her cards with messages and pictures on them. Miss Gossman Lost Faith. “Do you believe that the pictures were produced by spirits?” she was asked, “I did believe it, but I don’t any more.” “Why not?’ “Well, I saw the same pictures in newspaper advertisements.” At this stage Attorney Davis pro- duced several pictures on cards said to have been produced at Mrs. Stew- art’s manifestations together with sevenal pictures from newspaper ad- vertisements and submitted them to Judge Taylor. Under cross-examingtion Miss Goss- man said that the cards on which the pictures appeared were blank when handed to Mrs. Stewart, and that the latter was not out of her presence from that time until .the cards were handed back with the pictures on them. “You didn’t see Mrs. Stewart draw a picture or write on any of those cards did you?’’ asked the attorney for the Truthseekers. “No, I did not.” “And, so far as you know, Mrs. Stewart never had the cards in her possession until they were handed to her in your presence, did she?’ “Not that I know of.” The hearing will be resumed Thurs- day morning. Judge Taylor an- nounced that he only wanted to know if the applicants for the decree of in- corporation were sincere in their be- lief or whether they were only mak- ing believe in order to be allowed to give theatrical performances’ under the cloak of religion. The applicants want a decree of in- corporation, they say, in order that they can build a church and school hall wherein to educate others along the lines of their cult.
