On the Cards
SOOthSayer Who FOretoId
Death Sees Widow
Going Free.

By Uhit6d Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The same
~ soothsayer who predicted the
Staying of Mrs. George A. Carl's
husband, and who saw in the
cards that Mrs. Carl would be
arrested on charger of murder,
shuffled tn cards again Sunday
to foresee Mrs. Carl's acquittal.
Mrs. Susie Ballo, Hungarian
fortune teller, drew three cards,
one by one, from her deck to
warn of Carls death sixty hours
before bullet ended his life.
Three more cards foretold Mrs.
Carl's arrest.
Again Mrs. Ballo turned to her
cards. The first showed the hus-
band dead. TIL second showed
the widow grieving. TIL third
showed the friends wondering.
But the card showing the pic
ture of the Jail remained in the
pack. That proved conclusively,
said Mrs. Ballo, that Mrs. Carl
would be freed.
The latter is held in jail with
her brother, Ivan Grilec. Both
are charged with first degree muir
der.
Mrs. Carl told police that her
husband was killed on July II,
less than three days after the
fortune teller said he would die.
