D. Loop, farmer Of Sycamore, Ind,
has ssked the police to find Victor Ken
wood, q pslmist, TO whom he gave 5000
last week on a promise that the pslmist
would drive Mrs. Loop insane 30 that ne
could obtain a divorce from her. Loop
stated tha. he and bis wife had been
having trouble for ling time. He de-
sired divorce, bat he feared the grounds
were pot sufficient. Kenwood, 1t ia al
legged, told Loop that if be would bring
him q certain amount ofmoDey he would
cause BIS wife to go insane, and then a
separation would be an easy matter.
Loop says be gave Keuwood $500, and
the latter told Loop that it would be
necessary for him (Keuwocd) 10 carry
the money next to bis heart for two or
three days, and to 60 away to some dis
liant place. He would then return and
the spell would be accomplished. After
Q few days Loop had a suspicion that all
was not right and he then appealed to
