“YOU ARE AN ACORN!”
WOMAN’S SUBTLE CRAFT. , By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Two charges of fortune-telling and using subtle craft were preferred against Madame Currie, aged 52 years, at the Magistrate’s Court. Two constables gave evidence as to consulting accused. To one of them she was alleged to have said, inter alia: ‘You are an acorn, at present beautiful to behold, but you are only an acorn, and by exerting your will you will become a tree to support other acorns.” Accused s counsel asked for leniency, stating accused had 15 children. The Magistrate pointed out she had twice previously been convicted, and on one occasion had been sentenced to six months' imprisonment for pretending to Maoris that she possessed supernatural powers in case of disease. In June last she was fined £» for fortune-telling. She would be sentenced to 14 days’ imprisonment.
