BOX.
“WHITE CHIEF OF 400 YEARS
AGO,
It was Intimated during the hear- Ing, ai Westminster Police Court recently, of the summonses against Mrs. Cantlon, a mcdlum at the London Spiritualist Alliance, Limited, Queensberry-place, South Kensington, and Miss Marcy Philli- more, secretary of the Alliance, that Sir Oilver Lodge and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be called as witnesses for the defence.
The Magistrate (Mr.. Oulton), after hearing the evidence of Mrs. Cantlon, anld he would be prepared to deal with the case in a lenlent way, but Sir Patrick Hastings, K.C. (for Miss Phillimore) objected.
He said that if Mrs. Cantlon were convleted it might mean tho ond of the Spiritualist Alliance, and he proposed to call a great deal of evi- dence to prove absolute freedom from fortune telling in the Alliance.
Mrs. Cantlon was summoned for professing to tell fortunes and Miss Phillimore for aiding and abetting.
Mr. Bullock addressed the Court on behalf of Mrs. Cantlon, whom ho described as a woman of gentle birth and good breeding.
