The validity of a bequest of £3OOO to the London Spiritualistic Alliance to establish a training college for mediums, Has been challenged in. the Chancery Court by the residuary legatees under the will of a denationalised German, who left money to various hospitals and charitable institutions. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has filed an affidivit showing" from experience that, when normal methods failed, psychic treatment succeeded. Medical affidavits on similar lines were also submit-' ted. Counsel for the legatees thought that mediums were born, not made. A request for the training of conjurers would he a good charitable gift, enabling certain persons to earn an honest living, while a bequest to train people to perform the three-card trick would not be a good charitable gift. The hearing was adjourned.
