Repeated reference to the book and
the charms which it contains were
made in the confessions of the trio
charged with the killing of Rehmeyer.
All the principals in the strange case
apparently believed implicitly in the
formulas of the volume. Indeed, the
victim of the murder was believed to
have copy of the book and to be-
lieve in its teachings, and the trio
asked to borrow it as ruse to get
into the Rehmeyer home when they

1T you like your business it is

improve your output. Let me ex-
plain further what I mean. Co

whether their output is satisfac.
tory by its effect on the audience.
Sometimes I think a piece of
business or a joke will set the
house in roars, but when / try
it l find that it goes flat. Some.
times have bits Of action which
convulse the audience, although
it was probably my first judg.
ment that there were no laughs
in them.
