Jekyll-Hyde Life Laid Bare

after truth writes the impression is
carried through several pages. The
one on which the questions are written
and the next one are torn out and
supposedly destroyed. and the pad is
then placed on top of a cabinet on the
left or the desk. This is where the
desk comes into play
The desk is a fiat topped affair, with
row of drawers on each side. The
left side of the desk is panel. which
swings outward when the operator
presses a lever under his foot. On top
of the desk at the operators left is

letter filing case: these are for the
purpose of hiding the panel from the
subjects view
As soon as the questions are written
the tablet is placed on top of the cabi-

lid is raised the tablet slides down
between the wall and the desk on to the
panel, and then into the lowest drawer

hanging it the hook in front of
him.
DEANE BECOMES COMMUNICATIVE
After the seance was finished l led
Deane to talk of himself and intimated
that might be willing to go into part
nership with him. After a few min
utes he exposed his whole scheme.
Get the money, Iegitimately if you
can; but get the money. is my motto"
said Deane. and this is the greatest
game in the world. Why. 1 could take

Why. take these mining promoters
They are willing to give me half all

mites | have of bringing the suckers

children. Lots of women who are
wives OF businessmen come to me and
ask foolish questions. which lead me to
