A Spiritual Fraud.

Charles Cutler. the medium who
visited Cheyenne last year, but who is
now playing checkers with his nose
over in the Denver jail, has an oppor-
tunity to distinguish himself, and prove
an assertion made at II of his seances
over a year ago. On that occasion he
asserted that handcuffed, shackled and
locked in the strongest dungeon, the
spirits would dematerialize him and
pass him out through the walls. He
makes the same assertion now-that he
can get out of prison at any time that
he feels like it. He is always on hand
for his breakfast, however, and if he
does practice at slipping through the
bars, he must do it at. night, and slip
in before daylight in time for the good
square meal furnished the prisoners.
The way things look, he stands a chance
of an opportunity to try his skill on the
~penitentiary walls.
