THAT STIRRED BELGIUM
Testimony Shows That Va1uables
Were Removed From Palace on
King Leopold's Death.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
BRUSSELS. May %. 1911.
Pending resumption of the royal
lawsuit. publication has been made of
the evidence give before the leading
judges regarding the trunk mystery
alluded to in Maitre Jaspar's speech.
Five weeks before his death King
Leopold placed in the keeping of NJ.
Pockez. his treasurer. at the latter's
private residence. three large. heavy
trunks, unlabeled.
December Is. the day before King
NJ. Pockez. on a written order from
the dying sovereign. surrendered the
trunks to Baron Snoy, the kings order
ly officer. who handed them to NJ.
Degueldre. his majesty's valet, to be
conveyed In closed carriage to the
Societe Generate Bank. and there de-
livered to a woman, who would claim
them on the road.
NJ Degueldre indiscreetly caught a
glimpse of the contents Of a letter
accompanying the trunks and giving
very lengthy list Of securities at
the bank. The valet soon was met
by q woman, who alighted from the
kings own automobile. and claimed
the trunks and the letter. She was
none other than Mile. Caroline Lacroy.
better known as the Baroness Yauohan'
This fully corroborates the suspicion
that millions Of money and valuables
were at the last moment taken away
from the kings legitimate heirs, to be
made over to his morgantic wife. and
the upshot will be an action against
the latter after the conclusion OF the
present pEoceedlpEA

.CLA|RVOyANTS WORK
OLD TRICK IN ENGLAND
Americans Obtain $2,75O
From Woman Who Consult
ed Them in London.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON. May D. 1911.
Curiosity has been expressed as to the
method of fortune telling adopted by
two American clairvoyants. who are al
legged to have obtained $2.75O from an
English woman as the result of a conf
dence trick.
When the woman went to consult them
she was asked to write on piece Of
paper her name and the date of her birth.
She then folded the paper. taking care
not to let any one see what she had
written down. On a second piece of
paper. which she folded in a similar way
she wrote the name Of a relative who
had died recently. The clairvoyant after
ward passed the two pellets across his
brow, and then disclosed these details
with others Of his own invention.
Trick Simple One.
This is very old trick indeed" said
Mr.. j. n. Maskelyne. who has exposed
so many clairvoyants and spirit me-
diums." "Of course. it makes big i'm
preston on the unsuspecting, but really
it is very simple. 1t was known years
ago as Fosters pellet writing after an
! American who practised It, When being
consulted Foster used always to smoke
a cigarette. and. as he contrived to see
the writing on the pellets merely by open
ing them deftly in the palm of his hand.
he found 1t convenient to strike q large
number of matches.
Very often. in order to have a swift
glance at the writing on a pellet he
would place a substitute on the tah,e IN
1T IS
learned all the pellets had to tell him. he
would make great show of passing
them across his brow. 1t is really very
remarkable that this trick should sriil
impose on the public. after the many eN-
