Not Warned She Is Soon To
 Lose a Sum of Money
Accuses Indian Soothsayers of $9C
 Theft

When couple of young women dressed in fapper style but claiming to he of Indian descent entered the home of Mrs. Archie Lacroix, Pom fret street, Monday, they prevailed mon her to cross their palms with sil- ver and agreed to enlighten her as to her past. present and future. The t,ro women might have told her that sbe was soen to lose a sum of money but they didn't. After they departed Mrs Iacroix found this out for her self and informed the police.
 According to Mrs. Lacroix the two seventh daughters of seventh daugh ter yielded a magnetic power and appeared to hypnotize her to some degree. She felt she shouldn't do some C,f the things she did but some how the spell was on her and she just couldn't help it.
 During the setting of the scene for the seance Mrs. Lacroix left the room to get some money. Later the soothsayers demanded an oil lamp as one of the properties. When Mrs. Lacroix went to the celler to put oil in the ancient illuminator the wo- men did a little searching for fortune on their own account.
 On the bureau was a poeketbook belonging to Mrs. Laeroix's daugh- ter. In the pocketbeok was S90. After the women went the pocket book was missing and the police were called. An investigation dis closed that the pair had left the city on a Worcester bus. The Worcester police were notified but did not find the fortune tellers on the bus when it reached Worcester.
