The plaintiff, John Kefe, said that a medium, Mrs Farrow, had supplied the designs while in a trance. Cross examined, he said that spiritualists at Bournemouth had provided the bulk of the capital. Part of the engine already had been produced, and it was expected that it would be completed in a few months. Plaintiff vehemently denied that the medium had been plied with whisky out of the company’s funds.
