Drs Wallace and vsno, the fortune
telling fakirs. who with their factotum
Brown, are now In the hands Of the pslice
as the result OF an oxpsss made by City
Solicitor HarmRn and an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter, were Rrraignsd In
Municipal Court this morning. on ths
charge of witohcrsft. copjuration and
fortune telling.
The state was net ready TO proceed In
the matter, and a continuance was
granted until this evening, bail being
fixed at 5000 In each case. The men
claim that they consulted q lawyer prior
TO opening up their business aud was
informed that it was not contrary to

left hurriedly TO etcape the ire
Of the people be victimized. This
time the trio feem to have
been after higher game. Although
the foes named 30 the city solicitor and
EVENING JOURNAL reporter WAS 81. Il
Is learned that In many instances this
was reduced TO 81 when the victim
dion't look as though he could bs touche
for more. The men ghsve been working
here little over week and had a
shingle marked "Drs. Wallace & Veno"
on the window sill at No. 90l Tatnall
street.
After court Judge Ball. City Solicitor
Harman and Deputy Attorney general
Cooper had a consultation relative TO the
.hree alleged fortune tellers. II was
deemed rather doubtful II sufficient
evidence could be produced to convict
any except Veno and the expense
would be considerable. It was decided
that II the trio would prom SO to leave
Wilmington aud not return they would
be given their liberty. In accord
ancs Chief Doian, who was busy collecting
evidences and had already secured several
witnesses against Veno, was directed to
cease bis work. The trio will probably
be discharged tonight
