SPIRITUALISTIC MED UMS.
PROVIDING A TRAINING COURSE.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Jan. 17.
The validity of a bequest of £3OOO to the Jjondon Spiritualistic Alliance to establish a training college for mediums was challenged in the Chancery Court by residuary legatees under the will of a de-nationalised German, who left his money to various hospitals and charitable institutions.
Sir Conan Doyle filed an affidavit showing from experience that when normal methods failed, psychic treatment succeeded. Other medical affidavits are on similar lines.
It was also submitted by counsel for the legatees that thought mediums were born not made. A bequest for training conjurors would be 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.
