WANDER BlLT.


A C1afrvOyant Testifles TO the Com
modore'. Belief In ClairVOyance
and SPiritu aIisIss.
A plump lady with a very white COM
plexion, very regular features, very light
hair, and very small, dark eyes, fashiona-
bly, dressed, had entered the room and
mounted the witness stand.
She gave her name as Jennie W. Dan
forth, and said that she was a magnetic
healer, and resided at No 122 Waverly-
place Amid many objections, she testified
that she was sent for by Mrs. Vanderbilt to
treat the Commodore magnetically in April,
1876, and that she was in attendance on
him Throughout that and the two following
months; she was three nights alone with
the Commodore, nobody else being present,
but a servant-girl was stationed in an ad-
Joining apartment within call. The first
night the Commodore talked but little !;
the second night he seemed very much in
clined to conversation, He said that he
had great belief in clairvpyant power; that
he had been treated that way tor years
that he had been treated by Mrs Tuft
Me-srs. Clinton and Comstock here raised
the objection that belief in clairvoyancy
had no bearing on the question of insanity
or undue influence, unless it was supposed
to be delusion, which the counsel would
DENY, and that would open up the whole
theory Of human belief for discussion. Ii
was an issue that could not be settled in 4
court Of justice.
Surrogate Calvin said there were many
men who did not believe in doctors at ali,
vet there was no proof OF insanity
Laughter. He was disposed to leave the
door very wide open in this case, but il re-
auired to test the truth Of clairvoyancy.
the trial might be in court for the next six
years.
Mr.. Comstock said that the only evil
dence Of unsoundness that could be re-
ceived was that which related to the com
mon affairs Of men, the making of a will
being one of these.
Mr.. Lord said he intended to prove by
the testimony OF the witness that Commo-
,iore Vanderbilt was in the habit of receiv-
ing messages from dead friends.
Surrogate Calvin said that it had been
decided that a Spiritualist was capable of
making 4 will.
Mr.. Lord said that the point was only
one of many. He claimed to be able 70
prove undue influence without the help Of
any Of these weaknesses.
Mr.. Clinton made the point that even de-
lusions were irrelevent, unless the will
could in some measure be shown to be their
offspring.
There was long discussion, and author
tiles we're cited on both sides.
Surrogate Calvin asked Mr.. Lord what
he would say to Dxrwin's will
Mr.. Lord replied that Darwin made .

the Case Of miny Christians. The causes
of this neral depression Of spirits" he
said, I'm y Ill be found in our rransgres-

such source OF sorrow, is the result OF hu-
man crime. For those who have fallen
from good circumstances through no fault
of their own have suffered on occount Of
the wrongdoing of others, which has led to

perhaps, the greatest cause of all. The sin
