Manaville, eighty-nine- || year-old financler, that representa- tions made to him that Charles M, Bchwab consulted a New York woman spiritualist caused him to visit her in her dimly lighted, soft-carpeted solon, was revealed yesterday In a suit scheduled for trial Monday. Mr. Man- ville is named as defendant in the wotion. This was the latest development to be revealed by a baker's dozen of at- torneys, who at varlous times have represented Mr. Meanville, Mrs. Myrtle B. Hayes, now facing trial for alleged forgery of Mr. Schwab's name, and Mrs. Cora Stetson Butler, who was assoclated with Mr. Manville ' th several projeots, It is"alleged the suit in which Mr, Manville now figures will bring out how he, with other wealthy men, sought “tips from the beyond,” gath- ered in the medium's home, The sult, in which the name of the medium and Mra. Butler already have figured, was filed several years ago against Mr. Manville by Dr. Alonzo E. Austin of No. 14 Central Park ‘West, who is seeking to recover $21,- 000 he paid for stock now considered worthless. In answering the suit, Mr. Man- ville contends, in turn, that he was in- duced to purchase from Dr. Austin $25,000 worth of valueless stock. Tt wag in answering the suit that Mr. Manville also set forth his elaims he invested mone yupon advice of a *“spirit.” Told Schwab Visited Medium .
