TELLING FORTUNES
A SELF-STYLED PROFESSOR (Peb Limited Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, May 9. George Samuel Thomson, styling himself a professor, was fined £2 to-day for telling fortunes. A woman engaged by the police went to his lodgings, and by what he termed scientific and mathematical calculations from the positions of signs and stars, the accused told her fortune. Thomson conducted his own case. The magistrate said he could not understand Thomson’s explanation of his work and he had only his word as to its success or otherwise.
