Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HEeM.p.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Feb. 1s.-Dolly
Delameter. who has interpreted the
past and delved into the future for
more than half the women of this
town. says that Mrs Ethel Hutchins
Mott will not be convicted Of partici-
pating in the murder of her husband
George f. Mott. She says that the
spirit of George Mott came to her
while she was deep in her scheduled
trance last Wednesday night and re-
peated I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" so
often and with such compassion that
il left no doubt in the mind Of Miss
Delameter that the murdered man
sought to vindicate his widow and
convey to mortal man that she had
no part in the affair for which Elwood
B. Wade already has been convicted
and sentenced to be hanged.
Dolly Delameter Will take the witness
stand in Mrs. Motifs defence. she says.
Whether such testimony as she longs to
offer is admissible or legally may he
offered before jury has yet TO be
determined But between now and the
time that Mrs. Mott goes on trial Dolly
Delameter says she will attempt to pro-
ject herself through the mists between
her subliminal self and the soul or
George Mott and get his own story of
HIS own murder.
Miss Deameter was one OF Mrs.
Motifs dearest friends Immediately

ans chidren-Ruth. who is IL years
old. and George. a year younger. Both
these youngsters live with their mothers
friend now and take active part In the
seances Dolly Delameter conducts In
her home Wednesday nights. Ruth. who
has the deep. feverish eyes Of her
mother and a rather unearthly pallor
susceptible to hectic flushes. plays the
piano at the seances assisting Miss
Delameter to fall TRANQUILITY into her
frances by softly tinkling Nearer, Ny

hymns. r7
Boy Is Usher AT Seances.
The boy. less ethereal and more robust

business Wednesday evenings in the
Delameter house. With vast enthusiasm,
and rare intelligence. George answers
the door bell. sees that guests are seated
and. at given signal. switches off the
electric lights.
To-day Dolly Delameter said that she
had been in communication with the
spirit OF George Mott several tinlNs. but
that only once had she held conversa-
tion with him while others were pres
ent.
THAT was last Wednesday night"

hidden meaning. There can be but one

Mott cannot be guilty OF numbering her
husband or having anything to do with
it."
Dolly I'm n Trance Again.
This afternoon Dolly Delameter went
into another trance. Just before
the trial OF Eiwood Wade. now in
Wethersfield jail awaiting hanging, she
predicted that that youth will never
walk the streets OF Bridgeport again -
To-day from somewhere in the beyond
she received news that assured her that
"the State will never take his life"
She did not go into explanation.
Splritualistically she may have meant
that the Governor was going to COM
mute Wade's sentence to Imprisonment
for life or that she was merely speak
ing In the occult sense and meant that
"only the body dies; the soul passes
on"
After to-day's trance Miss Deiameter
took the two children to the Fairfield
Jail to see their mother States At
torney Cummings will return here
Tuesday and II Is expected that he
then will set a date for the trial or
Mrs. Mott. The trial Is expected to
develop into series OF dramatic epi-
