New York Jan. 29.-Miss Antoinette
Elizabeth Gazzam, Of Cornwall on the
Hudson, has received hundreds Of let
ters during the last week from persons
attracted by what she herself calls "the
combination of psychological phenom-
ena and sentimental ideals" disclosed in
her own story of her experience with
Marshall Clark, a c~lairvoyant, as pub
lished recently.
Miss Gazzam, who is wealthy, has
just paid Mrs. Clark $25, 900 In the set
Element out of court of a suit for alien
ating the affections of the clairvoy-
ant.
The letters come from all parts Of the
country and most of them have not
yet been opened by her. One letter
says: II am waiting for you at st.
Louis, Mont. Come to me at once"
1t is signed with a mans name and
gives an address in that village. An
other correspondent asks If h would
like to have a photograph of him
mounted on horseback.
Wants Vision interpreted
Another letter Is from a woman who
had a supernatural vision which she
wishes Miss Gazzam to interpret.
Miss Gazzam made the following
statement yesterday regarding her
psychic dealings with Marshall Clark:
IT want the public TO distinctly I'M
derstand, in reference to my psychic
dealings with the clairvoyant or for
tune teller, Marshall Clark, alias
King, that / was never so completely
under his control that 1 a lost the
underlying principles OF freedom OF VIII.
with regard to this phase of the
deeply planned scheme to which / was
so nearly a victim, in the negatizing of
my mind, I always believed n still
believe that 1 was entirely or in great
measure my w free agent.
Clark Is a Mind Reader.
Il went to him originally in a spirit
of open minded doubt, n / assert
that he read my mind. He said to him
self:
Here is a girl who is deeply senti-
mental, with plenty of conscientious
scruples, and who for some time past
has been ~endeavoring to eliminate from
her inner being everything impure and
unworthy. The only way I can make
any impression upon her Is to take adj
vantage of her open minded attitude
toward psychic phenomena, to magnify
her sins to her and to place them in
so clear a light that she a
them forever. BY this weird and re-
markable ourse Of SOU publication /
can gain not only her confidence, but
her profound esteem. This having been
obtained upon so fundamental a basis,
/ will gradually and with great tact
and caution disclose to her the revela-
ton of myself as her soul mate
Tried Hypnotic Spell.
LAS he was too coarse and domineer-
ing to attract me personally. He tried
to weave about himself a hypnotic spell
of supernatural power and superlative
grandeur during the first two or three
days of u acquaintance. From then
on he read in my mind the qualities I
admire in manhood, which he sought to
represent.
Having with wonderful craft and
determination, as well as through the
mysteries of occultism, carried his de-
sign into execution, he drew himself
up one day in his office just as / was
about to take my departure and said:
There is something right here in Los
Angeles that you haven't discovered
I jumped at his meaning and it came
to M as. a shock. But / replied: W.
nus all submit to the will of Cod
Parting of Soul Mates.
"As / went out / kissed his hand
twice, though still unwilling to be en-
tirely convinced. However, as | stood
looking in at a window across the
street / said to myself: This magnif-
cent specimen of manhood, this great
est of psychics, has acknowledged me
as his own, his counterpart. He has
power to read the inner workings of
my soul, can probably look in through
the windows of my mind at any mo-
ment. Therefore. let me think only
of the u~nspeakable honor conferred
upon me by the privilege OF his love,
n may he see no aversion or hesita-
ton in my soul
II made another strong and heroic
effort to combat the personal disap-
pointment and overcame all aversion to
the clairvoyant as the embodiment Of
my soul mate in a single day.
Moreover [ soon became deeply at
tached n devoted to the man whose
astral presence she'd it's tender radiance
about me in the privacy OF my own
chamber with an apparent fondness
more eternal. more tender, than a
mothers love"
