" PROSECUTION Unseen Advisors Tell Mrs. M. E. Hall to Quit Proceed- ings Against A. Normand JUDGE — i DISMISSES CASE Woman Fails to Appear to' Press Charge She Made Against Former = Pupil —— OAKLAND, June 26—Bldden by the | spirits, so the Story goes, to abandon the | { prosecution of A. Normand; whom she charges with disturbance of the peace, ' IMT!’. M. E. Hall of Allendale this morn- {Ing failed to appear in Judge Quinn's / court to press the charge she had made | | against the defendant. After waiting for | some time for a telepathic or other com- munication from the prosecuting witness, Judge Quinn ordered the case against Normand dismissed. It was whispered, however, that fear of further publicity regarding her relations with her erstwhile pupil In the mysteries of the occult had ' more to do with Mrs. Hall’s action than | the counsels of her unscen advisors. Letters alleged to have been written by Mrs. Hall to Normand were introduced in evidence at the hearing of the case two weeks ago, and they were of a char- acter so sensational that the woman was -thrown into hysterics. She even swooned in court, and it was with difficulty that Constable Tom Carroll, the muscular hammer-thrower, supported her. Judge Quinn was ¢ompelled to adjourn court for a week and when the case came up for hearing again Mrs. Hall filed a doctor's certificate that she was too 1l to attend. Another adjournment was ordered and, in the meantime, Attorney H. 8. Aldrich nctified Judge Quinn that should Mrs. ‘Hall not appear to-dhy the case might be dismissed by consent. Mrs. Hall, who is the wife of William. Hall, formerly clerk of the San Francisco Police Commission, and Normand met at a spiritualistic seance in San Francisco | about a year ago. Normand had just réturned from South Africa, where he had engaged in mining. The two soon became friends and Mrs. Hall undertook to teach Normand the “hidden art.” As a side issue they formed a partnership in the chicken-raising industry at Allen- dale. A house and lot were purchased there and a tent was pitched in the yard for the use of Normand, while Mrs. Hall occupied the residendce. ‘When they had esluilished themselves at Allendale the lessons in telepathy, mental suggestion and other occult arts began. Each evening at 9 o'clock they would concentrate their thougnts and the next day they would meet in parks and other places and. tell each other the im- OURCROae S A (CMOy ”o,;».

He declares the municipal- ity spould take advantage of some of the tural beauty of location and enyiron- ment with which the city is favored. To rry out the idea without imposing 00 severe a burden upon the taxpayers is the problem the chief executive has in hand In casting about for additional sources | of revenue to meet the demands of the times, his Honor has begun an investi- gation of the municipal license system. The Mayor says the city does not derive sufficient income from that source. -In | reviewing the situation the Mayor said to-day: Ban Francisgo is spending $1,000,000 a year in_permaneat public improvements.
