Weltmerism Vindicated So Far as a Jury Can Do So. 1 hotly contested case of Weltme inst Re Bishop and Jr. Palmore closed Saturday night wi vo verdict ag shop “for $750. No verdict was found against Dr. Palmore. This trial began on Tuesday morning of iast week and the taking of evidence was not com- pleted until Saturday noon. The long Weltmer was on the stand for a very and subjected to cross exami was gist of the Weltmer belief, so far as it could be gleaned from the witnesse is that one mind governs all bodi that when two people agree that a Palesoiage must be cured or does not x that—presto, it is no more— best. given at that ‘the treatment is his office. After absent treatment is commenc- ed we write special letters, said Prof. Weltmer. The circular letter is in- troductory. We send symptom blanks in order that the patient may understand that we are treating a specific trouble. He acts upon that idea. It becomes hisownsuggestion. We have a man to diagnose ailments of our patients. We cure all diseases but not all ients. Some people cannot bring themselves to believe as they should. My theory is not that life can be indefinitely protract- ed. There isa point beyond agree- ment. If the Bible is true, agreement will accomplish everything. Amanis poor fromacause. We find men worrying and believing fate isagainst him. There are general rules which can be prescribed in mak- ing men successful in making money. Asalesman can be taught to be a better salesman. He can create a want on the part of the customer. About forty or fifty witnesses were examined for the plaintiff, most of whom had been patients and claimed to have been cured or greatly bene- fitted. The defense was conducted on the theory that the plaintiffs, Weltmer and Kelley were engaged ina fraud- ulent business and were therefore not entitled to the protection of the law, that the charges made in the article sued on were practically true and therefore not libellous, and that the communication or article had refer- ence to magnetic healers asa class, and not to plaintiffs particularly, therefore they could not recover. Alarge number of witnesses were introduced who testified that they had not been cured under the treat- ment One witness testified that Weltmer had treated him for granu- lated lids, had passed his hand over hydrant water, which he claimed to have magnetized by that method. and in structed him to apply to his eyes and they would be healed. A man from Sedalia testified that he had written to Weltmer and signed the fictitious name of a woman to the letter, asking for absent treat- ment, that he had been instructed to send $5 which he did and received circular letters of instructions and a 1 tter purporting to be dictated and signed by S.A. Weltmer. All ad- dressed to this fictitious name. The instructions were that the supposed woman was to lie down at 9 o’lock a. m. and 12. p.m. and get her mind and body in a passive state when the mind of Weltmer would enter her body and build up the worn out tis- sues. The witness testified that he practiced this deception in order to secure evidence for this trial. Depositions of a number of physi- cians of state reputation were read to the jury, which denied that any man had the power to cure diseases by means as taught by the Weltmer school, declaring that they were against the teaching of science. A number of local physicians testified to the same effect. Judge Graves’ instruction was a clear and concise exposition of the law affecting the case. Judge Will- iams, forthe defense, said that the instructions contained ‘all the law there was for them. The plaintiffs lawyers expressed the same opinion. Three hours were given the attor- neys of each side to address the jury, Mr. Bawker opened for the plaintifis. He delivered a very fair and logical address in which he reviewed the tes- timony from that standpoint and claimed a verdict for his clients. W. QO. Jackson followed for the defense and delivered one of his characteris- tie and forceful addresses which com- manded respectful attention of the jurors and the large audience. Gen. H.C. Clark made a masterful effort for his client. which was both logical and eloquent and which had much weight with the jury in arriving at their verdict. Mr. Searrett, Judge Williams and Mr. Scott all made good speeches, and thecase was given THURSDAY, DEC EMBE ER, o'clock. In to the jury at about 9 about two hours the verdict as above they saw it. the preponderance of evidence was in favor of the plaintiffs.

Guthrie, Ok., Dec. 10.—A shipment of 4,000 quail, consigned to the Ar- meur Packing company at Kansas City, was seized by the sheriff here last evening. The agent of the Wells Fargo Express company denied any knowledge of the ownership of the game and said that he was not aware of the contents of the egg cases in which the quail were found. Judge Buford issued an order of confiscation, giving the birds to a benevolent society for distribution among the poor. Oklahoma statutes provide a heavy penalty for shipping quail out of the territory. Just Saved His Life. It was a thrilling escape that Chas. Davis of Bowerston, O., lately had from a frightful death.
