DUPE GIVES S55O ID SPIRIT
 MEDIUMS
Los Angeles Man ArouSeS Pity and Disgust Over His Finn Belief in Spirit Guide in Business.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. AT. Nj. Henricksen of Gl2 East Twelfth street | said last night that he would apply to the prosecuting attorneys office | today for a warrant for the arrest of ''Dr." L. A Roberts, pastor of the Church the Soul" location not ! given
 Robert and his wife run a spoOk factory at Edendale. Mrs. Roberts was | once exposed before an audience of 1 800 persons in a Los Angeles hall. l The story told by Henricksen was a most pitiable one of a man made the dupe of interruptions fakirs all over the country.
 q have a spirit guide named Eliza, p said Henricksen last night. She ! gives me lots of pointers and for ' years I have never received bum steer from her.
 Tt was this way. Tn life her name was Julia. I was engaged to marry her She died and came back through medium who said her spirit name was Eliza.
 + T have received much consolation from communications with her, k though .she suffers strange lapsss of
 
 ] used to have Queer, ain't it? ] "I came here from Detroit H q ! years ago Recently I went to a 1 spirit photographer and I got this | Here Henricksen drew from his l pocket a fake spOOk photograph which he declared had been made by Wiley. i It was the same old simple, flimsy, | palpable fraud of a double exposure. e r. rp a pf | HenriCksens apparent intelligence taken in by such an ancient, asinie ! deception, yet the man believed Wiley when that fakir glibly told him the II faces on the print were ReGskin and his sQuaw and Eliza"
 It was this Eliza idicy that led Rob, erts into the attempt to pry HenricS- sen loose from his hard earned coin at Edendale yesterday. ''I sold lot a few weeks ago and got $55O for it. I suppose these Rob, erts heard about it. Thev Glso prob. ably heard about my spirit guide Eliza, because she comes to see me in open meetings here in town" con- tinued Henricksen.
 q strolled around at Edendale and finally concluded to see what could |
 They called up Eliza in spirit land and she gave me a message. I asked her if should invest my money and she just jumped at the chance. She
 told me to go into partnership with Roberts in a moving picture scheme
 She said it would pay big returns.
 Then Mrs. Roberts came out of her trance and she and her husband got down to business in quick time . They showed me machine and said my fortune was made. I was to pay
 them $200 fer an interest in the thing "I didn't have much money with
 me, but Roberts drawed up a paper and I didn't want to let no such g chanst get by me, so l signed, special ly when Eliza had been so certain
 it was Q winner.
 ''I paid them s right on the spot They've got that yet. When I got away from there i , come over me all of a. sudden that , was a sucker
 , Tt tore me nearly to pieces. guess it was Julia or Eliza's spiri 7 come to me. Anyway I run bacl , there and told them I didn't want nc , picture machine and I wanted m!
 money back. l didn't get it.
 If they try to collect that S200 IT
 have them prosecuted for trying tt
 swindle me"
