Berlin. November 20.-(Special. )-Condi- tions bordering on those that prevailed during the medieval ages of mysticism, witchcraft and magic have just been revealed during 8 case before the crim. inal court at Dresden.
 The crasiest exploitation Of credulous believers in spiritualism Is the charge which Director Bergman of Bombastus Works, at Pottschappel, and his two fellow directors had to answer, and his victims. who include a prominent medical doctor. a professor of high position, some well known business men and artists, have now become the laughing stock Of Germany.
 Director Bergman, who was formerly a gardner, belonged to Dresden spir- itualistic club, induced some of his CO., believers to lend him a small sum of money to establish manufactory of cosmetics and perfumes. This capital not being sufficient, recourse was had to spir- itualistic seanoes, to which people pos sc-~'n- ample means were invited.
 Bergmann played the role of medium al sc,.nyes and gave his audience advice as to the best means of invest ing their spare cash. The spirits invoked .--ais. sonhtless have been well acquaint- ed with tho ins and outs of the stock exchange, for they lnVArldply auVlseu those present to buy shares of. the Bom- bastus Works.

 His absent-mindedness was so great that when under tho care of the home circle he never attempted to look after the money and would even leave the house to go shopping without ever look ing to see if he had his purse with him. Naturally when he travelled the conse- quences for his pocket were disastrous. He invariably arrived home without a penny, no matter how much he had taken away with him, having either lost 1t or had 1t stolen.
 In Vienna once he lost his purse, which frightened him so that when he recov- cred 1t he resorted to the expedient Of dividing his funds into various small sums which he concealed about his per son in all kinds of unlikely places, so that at least he would not lose 1t all at one time. There was a note in the lining of his hat, another in his boot, several pinned to his shirt and so on, but not withstanding this he arrived home In his usual penniless condition.

 One side of the late Professor Lom- broso's character little known to outsid- CTS made him adored by his children, es- pecially his two daughters. who looked after him as though he were a child.
 His two greatest domestic characteris- tics were disregard of appearances and absent mindedness.
