Swami was asked to give his pedi-
gree.
He declared that he was born in
Ispahan, Persia, and has Travelled wide
ly. Answering a question he said he
had been in all parts of Michigan and
had once lived in Jackson. He said
his philosophy was an oriental one,
not Hindoo Its headquarters are at
Lhassa, Thibet. Five llhamas rule that
section.
Prosecutor Eddie pressed witness as
to his birthplace and nationality, not
withstanding Counsel Hyatt's objec-
tions. and Swamis retort was:
"Don't Make I'm 'Orse"
Having been born in Persia, my
nationality is Persian. If a man is
born hin a stable that don't make i'm
a 'orse. does it?"
Witness was asked more about his
knowledge of languages.
"This oriental philosophy of mine is
written in English, French, German
and every known language" he said.
II studied it in all languages. No, I do
not speak Sanscrit. l don't speak Hin
doc now neither. / learned to speak
Hindoo as a child in India at home.

have been in the United States thir-
teen or fourteen, and maybe twenty
years."
Swami was asked as to the transla-
tion OF udanaoKarana.
Doesn't udana mean literally the
wind which returns from the stomach
asked Prosecutor Eddie.
mo sir. 1t comes from obsolete
Thibetan words, l believe, and means
a person becoming converted and for-
saking the old ways"
Organized Protective Association
The connection of witness with the
Mediums Protective association, said
to be an organization formed to defeat
the license law, was then drawn from
him.
II was one of the founders of the as
ISOLATION" he said. 1--WE organized FOR
the elevation of mediumship and to
band ladies and gentlemen for the In
terchange of ideas regarding spiritual
development"
'Then you mediums who keep In
touch with the outer world have to re-
sort to materialistic means on earth to
hold communion and to determine
progress on the spiritual side?" COM
mented the prosecutor. I'm other
words you get together like business
men and discuss your spiritual unfold
ment2"
Il don't understand it so. Without
mater the spirit could not exist"
why do you band yourselves like
commercial people to try to control
something ultramondaine?'

was no loud speech or any disturbance
whatsoever to announce the firing of
the gun. All witnesses agree as to this
and state that the couple appeared 10
be not in the least perturbed.
According to the story told by Grima-
ger, Mrs. Cross asked her husband to
secure divorce, as their union was an
unhappy one. This he refused to do,
and when she then expressed her deter
mination to return to Yuma and begin
suit for divorce Cross became enraged
and shot her.
Grimager is authority for the state
ment that Cross served a term of two
years in the state penitentiary of Ari-
zona at Yuma for attempted murder,
and Grimager credits him with a gen.
orally bad character.
Cross and his wife We're married three
years ago IN Williams, Ariz They
lived together only about three months
owing to disagreement due, Mrs. Cross
claims, to her husbands failure to sup
port her properly and his cruel treat
met of her.
The police surgeons at the receiving
hospital said last night that Mrs. Cross
wounds are not necessarily fatal.

mans methods as medium and for
tune teller.
Earl Brenk, who was present at the
fortune telling scene between MaZzini
and Miss Reed, testified in corrobora-
tion of Miss Reeds evidence.
G. A. Plaisance, who is a real eS-
tate agent connected with the H. Nc
Cord company at 312 South Broadway,
testified in behalf of the medium, but
brought out little other than his opin-
ion that the medium was a teacher and
preacher of rare attainments.
Plaisance is the man who hustled
around to get bail for Mazzini the night
the spookster was locked in the city
Jail. Plaisance had difficulty in get
ting the money and scornfully declined
the suggestion of Mazzini that they try
to raise the money at the 3. and o.
saloon, where the medium Is said to be
an habitue.
Don't Allow Fakers Around
Mrs. Margaret Johnson, who rents
rooms to the fortune teller, was bub-
bling over with desire to tell the
court that she don't allow no palm
lists or fortune tellers in her house."
She injected this valuable information
into the answer to several questions.
Mrs. johnson was formerly stu
dent of the "dockter's" and evidently
thinks he is great man. Her testi-
mony was of little value. She believed
the 'dockter" to be a teacher of Hin
doc philosophy and she rolled the words
off her tongue as if they had many
times been repeated to commit them
to memory.
Mrs. Johnson's avowal that she
wouldn't allow mo spiritualists around
her place" sounded queer to Miss Reed,
who had held long conversation with
the woman wherein Mrs. Johnson de-
scribed the beautiful spirits the faker
had conjured up a few nights previous
to Miss Reeds visit.
The jury was out about three min
utes and returned a verdict Of guilty
Mazzini will be sentenced at o'clock
this afternoon.

she grew frightened and wanted to go
back Immediately. He had hard work
leading her back to her earthly body
and it was an hour and three quarters
before she was fully restored.
He came out of his trance then the
same way he went into it. I asked him
his price and he said ST. I paid it and
left, glad to get out into the warm,
bright sunshine and pure air again and

spirits, his odor of stale tobacco AMI

TEMPLE METHODS
LAID BARE BY
WOMAN OBSERVER
BY MYRA G. REED

Failure on the part of the spirits to
warn their patrons of the approach of
reporters in the guise of people wish
ing to have their future read or police
men with warrants for arrest has been
the downfall of a great number of these
so-called clairvoyants and spiritual
teachers and now Swami DR.. Mazzin-
inanda, so-named spiritual teacher and
lecturer of 737 South Spring street, has
sealed his mediumistic doom in Los
Angeles.
1 went there Saturday afternoon, De-
cember 20, at o'clock to ask for a
reading.
He styles his residence the Udana
Karana temple. 1t is small, dingy
cottage. behind florists garden, with
furnished rooms to rent.
A woman, neatly gowned and appar-
emily sound in mind, was just ahead of
me. She opened the door and went
right in. l did the same and to our
right as we entered was door with the
inscription Swami d. Mazzinnanda.
Walk in" This is only one of four
signs which adorn the trees and porch
around the house.
Shabby, Squalid Rooms
We both walked in and seated our
selves. An elderly man lounged on a
couch in the corner and the Swami"
sat in the window. minus his coat.
vest and collar, shaving himself. He
did not trouble to turn around or put
on his coat. 1t took him about three
minutes to finish. When he finished he
didn't seem to be in the least embar-
.rassed, but gathered up his coat and
vest and left the room without paying
any attention to me, although he spoke
to the woman.
When he came back he put up his

I'm conditions of passivity I may
speak under inspiration. get it from
the embodiment of the soul. 1 get 1t

"Then why do you spiritualist me-
diums have to resort to banding to-
gether to accomplish your purpose?"
Aren't we as much at liberty to do
this as churches for the good of hu-
manity?"
"Now, candidly, is not the Protective
association formed for the one purpose
of defeating the license law?"
'Emphatically no."
Prosecutor Eddie then reverted to
the sitting that Mrs. Brooks had.
Scorns Idea of Fortune Telling
What was the relationship as we
may style it you had with Mrs.
Brooks?"
"She merely came for advice about
property"
"You protest then that you were not
trying TO tell ner fortune!
Il scorn the idea of fortune tt ling.
There is no such thing"
did you not start the music box
going and talk about the muses?"
Il don't know what occasion 1 would
have in discussing the muses. in talk
ing to lady"
"And about the spirit Margaret"
II don't remember anything about

"what did you do with the dollar she
gave you?"
USED it. I presume"
You asked her for it?"
mo; we make no charges. She vol
unfairly laid the dollar down."
But you took the dollar?"
yes"
Absorbs All the Money
Mazzini was prevailed on to show his
visible means of support. He said that
his income from students went into a
fund that he used for himself, while
receipts from his writings were also
his own. Contributions to the temple
fund were separately kept This seq
regauon was for the purpose of build
ing a temple eventually. He insisted
that none of the moneys went into his
living expenses except the pay of the
classes.
"Out of these classes we started the
Sdl0 til6 uO
everything that money is received for,
but the directors get the benefits of the
teachings and when we get our new
temple started they will share in the
control of the funds"
"How long will 1t take to build this
temple II you utilize all you make in
the classes for your personal use?"
asked Prosecutor Eddie as a parting
shot, but the Judge sustained objections
of the counsel.
"You say other men have no pecuni-
airy interest in the temple?"
''They can take stock"
"Oh, then 1t is not your purpose to
build with the funds you get from your
propaganda alone? Now, as a matter
of fact, isn't 1t true that all moneys re-
ceived by you are your personal prop
erty and not another sours?"
mo, sir; / would not call it my abb
solute personal property. l put the
moneys aside"
Plalsance Praises Faker
Other witnesses were Miss Myra Reed
and Mrs. Annise Brooke. They both
testified that they had received spiri-
tualistic readings from Mazzini and had
paid him for the same. They told a

PUTS THE "GINGER" IN,
The Kind of Food Used by Athletes

A former college athlete, one OF the
long distance runners, began to lose
his power Of endurance. His exper-
fence with a change in food is inter-
esting.
While / was in training on the
track athletic team my daily logs
became a task, until after I was put
on Grape-Nuts food for two meals a
day. After using the Food for two
weeks I felt like a new man. My d.
gestion was Perfect, nerves steady
and I was full of energy.
II trained for the mile and the
half-mile runs Chose events which
require so much endurance) and then
the long daily logs which before
had been such a task, were clipped OF
with ease. I Vol both events.
THE Grape-Nuts food put me in
perfect condition and gave me my
ginger Not only was my physical
condition made perfect, and my weight
increased, but my mind was made
clear and vigorous so that I could
get out my studies in about half the
time formerly required. Now most
all Of the university men use Grape
Nuts. for they have learned its value.
but I think my testimony will not be
amiss and may perhaps help some one
to learn how the best results can be
obtained"
There's q reason for the effect of
Grape-Nuts food on the human body
and brain. The certain elements in
wheat and barley are selected with
special reference to their power for
rebuilding the brain and nerve cen
tres. The product is then carefully
and scientifically prepared SO a. to
make it easy of digestion. The ply.
steal and mental results are so appar-
ent after two or three weeks use as
to produce a profound impression.

In Mars.
They tell us there are people up in
What very happy people they must
be!
For in a habitation mid the stars
From various ~vexations they'd be
free.
For the chances are that trusts are
quite unknown
And that life insurance seeks no
gruesome gains;
The octopus has left them quite alone
Since they use canals instead Of
railway trains.
From tariff talk no doubt they are
exempt,
And maybe they escape the prob
lem play;
The campaign orator does not attempt
To steal some other fellows boom
away.
The trolley does not spider-web a
town;
There is no call for lodging motto
cars;
No Wall street sends their value up
or down
They must be very happy up in
Mars!
