MAKING OF MEDIUMS
BEQUEST FOR TRAINING COLLEGE. VALIDITY CONTESTED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received January 18, 9.25 a.m.) j LONDON. January 17. The validity of a bequest of £3OOO to the London Spiritualistic Alliance, to establish a training college for mediums, was 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 affidavit showing from experience that when’ normal methods had failed, psychic treatment had succeeded. Other . medical affidavits on similar lines were also submitted. The counsel for the legatees said he * thought that mediums were born and not made. A bequest for training j conjurers would be a good charitable gift, enabling certain persons to earn i an honest living, while the bequest to train people to perform the “ three j card trick ” would not be a good charitable gift. The hearing was adjourned.
