SHE SAW TROUBLE
BUT NOT Her OWN
Mistake of the FOreteIler of
What Was Going to
Happen
THE MYSTIC "INGOMAR"
In BAD WITH COURT

NEW YORK, Aug 4-There were
some interesting verifications OF the
reading that Nine. Ingomar gave Po-
lice Matron Ada Mcmahon in the
mediums back parlor at AZ West
Fifty-second street. For instance, af-
ter the matron had placed a dollar
bill between the leaves of a big Bible
on the center table and madame had
rested a ieweled hand upon hers,
madame said
There will be a legal paper sub
mitted to you within a few days. 1t
will be to your advantage to sign
it,"
Inasmuch as Capt Langtry of the
East Fifty-frst street station had
given the matron an advertising clip
ping and told her to get the goods"
what scoffer will say that the affidavit
made by Mrs. Mcmahon before Mag
istrateistrate Dan Murphy in the
Tombs court charging madame with
disorderly conduct in that-to wit:
| she did tell the fortune of the de-
ponent. was not the accomplishment
of an oracle?
And again, Beware of a dark wo-
man, trust her not" quoth madame,
who is dark and whose apartments
ran to drabs and greys and subfusk
browns. In needing this advice Mrs.
Mcmahon figures that she saved S.,
for as she departed madame said,
Come again. and for S. I'll help you
shape your destiny"
There's something else in that read
ing. however. that gives the truth
seeker pause. There is a future

are not much of a success in your
present line of business" Now, Ma
iron Mcmahon has had sixty convic-
lions in cases of this sort to her cred
it. And maybe that amt some. says
she.
Look out for a sudden death in
your family" continued madame,
"and there's a whole lot more that
/ could tell you in a longer reading.
AS ! told you at first, a fuller read
ing is SO and a complete one S."
That was the story the matron told
Magistrate Murphy when Nine. lingo
mar-wonderful Ingomar, to speak
by the ad-came into court with Sam
uel Bell Thomas, her counsel, under
the escort of Central Office Detective
Tierney, who had considerably wait
ed until she got into a white mousse
line dress and zouave jacket of the
same material with white braid APP
plique. and a white automobile bonnet
trimmed with purple daisies.
Nine. Ingormar, who, after all is
but plain Minnie Clark, 80 years old
said she didn't remember Mrs. McMa-
hon and was positive it wasn't the
Bible that held the 81 bill.
"Of course / believe in the Bible,
said madame, and ] use It in my lee
lures. / have classes for men ant
women in new thought, psychology
and astrology at S25 the course. Ant
! have lots of prominent people VIII
come to me regularly every week 70
advice and readings. And if l d.
say it. | have never had a complain
from any of my clients. I learned al
|, about the occult in India: it took m
! four years"
: Magistrate Murphy thought it al
D over and said
f I'm not saying anything abou
, prophets and prophecy. Leave tina
e to the theologues. But it strikes M
!, that to predict a death and an actor
l at law is just such a dealing in fu
I lures as is contemplated by article so
of the penal lay prohibiting fortuna
telling. l find you guilty of disor
n derby conduct and I place you unde
n $1,000 bonds for your good behavio
r. for one year. An infraction of tn
2 condition will render you liable to
n term in the workhouse."
Madame was allowed to sit IN tn
: court room and send out though
waves while Lawyer Thomas Gale
up surety companies on the telephone
Z Madame had only $40 and that WASH
= enough to interest them. Corpora
tons have no souls anyway Mad
ame's situation for four hours wa
interesting when you consider tina
she used this language in her adveI
tisements:

cause and remedy; gives infallible ac
vice in all affairs of life, love, couri
ship, marriage, and business trans
