OF the most amusing court cases in which
society is interested has developed this
week
Mr.. Henry S. H. Cavspdsh. well-known
explorer. who at one time paid ardent court
to Miss Edna May and gave her magnificent
jewels, then married Miss Isabel Jay of
the Savoy Theater, alleges that he has lost
some thousands of pounds through trusting
to the spirits Of the dead in the direction
of his fortunes
Mr.. Cavendish, in an action, sues a GER
tain Major Strut, Mrs. Strut, Doctor
Rangers and others, seeking to set aside
voluntary settlement of his property on
the gicunds that he did not know the con-
tents of the document when he signed It,
and that undue influence was exercised over
his mind by Mrs. Strut, who. by the aid OF
planchette Ia wooden tablet on casters
with a pencil attached, made him believe
the spirit of his dead mother was convex
ing to him, through her. advice as to what
he should Go.
Mr.. Cavendish. in giving his testimony,
displayed such amazing faith in the powers
of these persons to commune with spfrits
by means of planchette that the Judge
frequently showed considerable surprise and
even irritation that any man could have
been so credulous
He trusted himself TO Major and Mrs.
Strut in everything he did, believing that
his dead mother was consulted by thsm
by means of a planchette, and was advising
him how to use the immense fortune left
to him.
His fortune originally was about g 00o.-
0Oo That was four years ago. Now he has
only about 500, Co., 1t was only when ha
had gone off on an Abyssinian expedition
and found himself unable to commune by
means of a planchette with the spirit of
his mother that he began to grow sus-
picious.
A curious effect of the case. according to
Messrs. Jaques. principal manufacturers of
the planchette. is that its sale has risen to
an extraordinary extent orders coming in
from London and Provinces and from Ire
land and France, as well.
