Sir Conan Doyle Says She Predicted Magician’s Death at Atlantic City Seance

LONDON, Nov. 21 (AP)–Sir Conan Doyle reveals in a letter to The Westminster Gazette that when he was in Atlantic City with Houdini a seance was held in which a spirit message was received through a medium, the wife of a well-known American lawyer, from Houdini’s mother mourning over the premature end she foresaw for her son.

Sir Conan concludes:

“We withheld the message from Houdini, hoping that it might prove she was mistaken. But that hope has now been dissipated.”

The death of Harry Houdini occurred on Oct. 31.
