spiritualist, has been condemned by
the court to repay :" Mrs. Lyons
$50, 600, on the ground Of undue
influence and hallucinalion in the
obtaining Of the money from her
Since it was though, worth while
to telegraph this fact in advance of
the mail, 1t may be worth while to
explain what it is about.
