L side, natural means. what method he had used to nccom- plished his tricks but insisted they were only the “magic” of a hufan being skilled in the art of deception. There was only one trick of Mr. Dunninger that could be compared with the conditions under which Mrs. Stewart obtained mysterious written messages. In this a newspaper wom- an hdnded him five blank pleces of cardboard, which she had hrought. Mr. Dunninger had them in his hands only a few seconds while he talked. Then he laid five pieces on the plain board table. Mr. Dunninger stepped back from the table and asked the woman to point to one on which she wished the writing to appear. He turned up the four others one by one and showed they were still blank. Then he flipped over the fifth—the one she had chosen —and on its back was written in red ink in a scrawling handwriting “How did this get here?"” ! The roomful of reporters failed to observe any substitution of cards or trickery. “All such messages are the results of tricks such as those,” he said. “If I were given the chance I could pro- | duce the same results as NMrs, Stewart under the same conditions. There are no spirit messages. They're all clever fakes.” ONE MINUTE COURT SESSION Case of Woman Who Admitted Theft Is Heard in Sixty Seconds and Fine ¢ of $35 Imposed.
