The domestic troubles in the fami-
ly of August Thurman were fumigat-
ed in the police court this morning,
with promises of sensational develop
ments when the affair is probed to the
bottom by city officials and the law
yers who have been retained in the
case by the prospective parties.
It is alleged that there has been
considerable discord in the household
of the Main street grocer, and that the
relations of Fuhrman's present wife,
who is also his second, and the eldest
daughter have been strained for sew
eral years past. Conditions came to
a crisis this morning when the daugh-
ter. who has been clerk in the store,
failed to show up. The parent, who
by the way. Is the adopted father of
Miss Mary Thurman, became alarmed
and requested the aid Of the police,
who succeeded in locating Miss Fuhr-
man at the home of friends on Cos
bic street She was brought to the
recorders office and questioned by
Police Judge Fitz Gerald. The girl
swore that she was ~ years old and
her father corroborated this informa-
tion. Finding that the girl could not
be held, she being of legal age, she
was discharged by the officers and
repaired to one of the hotels of the
CITY, where she will stay.
Mr.. Thurman charges all the trou-
bile to one Prof. Matthews, clairvoy-
ant and trance medium, with quarters
in the LaFontaine hotel. It appears
that the self-styled professor, who ad-
vertises soul development and ma
terializing seances," was called upon
by the young girl. who desired aid in
her trouble. She called several times
and It is presumed that the suave
man of mysteries gave her counsel
that caused the affair this morning.
The girl claims that Matthews prom
ised to marry her in few weeks,
and that they were to leave the city
in n short time thereafter. Matthews
disclaims any matrimonial intentions
toward Miss Thurman, and says that
he never made love to her as she al
leges, and that although she visited
him several times she was always i'm
the company of member of her fam
lily.
Matthews is a smooth talker and it
lis alleged that he played on the sym
pathetic nature of the superstitious
German girl to the extent that he sue
.cessfully practiced his deception on
her. The attorneys who have been
employed by Mr.. Fuhrman will thor
oughly investigate the case and If it
is found that these itinerant mediums
are using their so-called profession as
a cloak to the deception and seduction
Of innocent and superstitious girls the
law will be invoked and some of them
Will hold lonely seances In the dark
recesses of the state penitentiary,
