Guy w. Ballard couldn't die

his former secretary says, but
when an "ascended master"
spoke through him he could die
tate for hours.
Ballard, now dead, founded
the II Am" movement, nine lead
ers of which are on trial on
charges of mail fraud.

yesterday.
when the dictation began I
would take it down in shorthand.
Sometimes it would 60 on for as
long as two and q half hours
without pause"
Ballard was unable to dictate
ordinary correspondence, Mrs.
Mundy declared, and spoke
fuently only when he was speak
ing for an assembled master"
The witness said she formerly
was q Christian Science practit-
Toner and q court reporter. Since
she joined the Billiards. in 1885
she has worked ID to 20 hours
day without pay, she declared.
DR.. c. I. McClenathan, who
said he is a physicist, naturopath,
and q former member of the
faculties of Massachusetts, Tech,
Carnegie Tech, Tufts College and
other institutions, was called as
a defense witness to explain color
theories of II Am" teachings.
He said that blue, the central
color of the movements prac-
tices, is the most powerful of all
colors. He pointed out that it is
used to soothe the mentally i'll
and to kill Germans in operat-
ing rooms, and that it has def
mite healing qualities.
Another witness, William
Reiss, a Long Beach, Calf, con-
tractor, testified he was an active
Communist and an advocate of
the overthrow of organized gov
eminent before he embraced the
II Am" doctrine.

lards caused me to change and
