S. n. Woods and Charles Leclair
were taken into custody after detec-

held. At police headquarters the men
told of how a rival seer in st. Louis
had called them by long distance tel

arrested.
But the spirits didn't tell him."
Woods declared. HE called the po-
lice and told where we were"
The mix-up between the rival
seers finally ended with police dis
missing the alleged fake mediums
after they had promised to leave the
