Hon SrmNGs, ARK, Dec. l0.--A case
OF astonishing imposition and fraud has
/ just come TO light In this city aud creates
a considerable sensation. The perpetra-
tors are one Dr. Haley and his wife, who
claim 20 be spirtualistic mediums, with
/ power to reveal hidden secrets. The sem
satiOn eliminated this morning in the
arrest of Haley aud his wife upon a
charge Of assault with intent to kill and
robbery, sworn out by Perry Huff, a
prominent citizen and business man OF
this city IL seems that HUI has been "a
believer in spiritualism, and mas therefore
been prey upon which the mediums
HAVE FED ASD FATTENED.
Last August Huf's storehOuse and hotel
were destroyed by fire. Soon thereafter
he received II note from Mrs Haley, in
forming him that she had received "A
revelation from the spirit land, relative
TO the calamity, and could give him i'm
potmnt information, ana inviting him
10 call. He did SO, and was
informed by Mrs. Haley that
"lntelligence, rs she called the spirit
with which she communicated, had re-
yealed to her the cause of the fire. This
she proposed TO give to Mr.. HUFF and tell
him whether he could collect his insur-
nnce. She asked how much money he
had with him, and was told that he had
$500. She pretended TO commune again
with "Intelligeuce," and then informed
the astonlshed victim that he had set fire
10 his Own PROPERTY
for the insurance thereon. She said she
had the proof ut hand which would pre-
vent the collection OF the Insurance. She
demanded the surrender OF the $500, and
the slgolng of note for $1,000 more, and
declared that II refused she would di-
yuge the whole thing .Dazed at the
proposition, and yet half wild by reason
OF the hold superstition had gained upon
his nina, Huff attempted TO resist, aud
arose TO eXtrlcate himself, when DR.. Haley
and son stepped from behind curtain
with drawn revolvers, and demanded
the money and his signature to the
note. He claims to have felt Il
strange, bewilderlng sensation come over
him, which completely unneryed him,
and he is conscious of having signed the
note aud given up the money After
leaving the place and recovering full cx-
ercse OF his mental faculties, Huff real
ized the cnormity of the crime OF which
he had been made q victim, but felt so
sharply chagrined that he
DETERMINED TO SAY NOTHING,
and steer clear of such folly in future.
a few days since, however, the note for
$500 was presented to him, with a de-
mand Of $500 thereon. Huff refused and
consulted an attorney, and informed the
chief OF police of the system of black
mailing perpetrated on him. by the d.
rection of these he went to Haley's house
and demanded the not and the return OF
the $500 taken from him, whereupun the
would-be medium again appealed to his
revolver Hun withdrew and procured
the arrest of Haley and his wife, who
now languish in jail awaiting trial to.
