This is from the New York Times:

Some public-spirited person has gone to
work in the right way by causing the arrest
of Or" Mansfield, spiritual medium, for
obtaining money from his clients upon the
false pretext OF giving them communica-
tions from the spirit world. Now, let Mans
field subpoena bis spirits and bring them in
to court as witnesses in his behalf The
person who has complained against him un-
dertakes TO prove that Mansfeld's spirit
writing" is a shallow trick, and if he sue
ceeds in so doing he viii prove public
benefactor. Of course, Mansfield, if he is
really on intimate terms with the spirits.
can make his defense SO clear az to con.
vince any court and to greatly extend his
reputation. There are dozens Of these me-
diums il the city who might with equal
proprioty be called upon to prove their pre-
tensions, and il is to be hoped that the
opportunity to do so will before long be
furnished to them.
