Signed Affidavit by Rose Mackenberg Concerning a Meeting of the Chicago Metropolitan Spiritualist Church. Chicago, March 20, 1926. Two-page affidavit signed by Mackenberg, a psychic investigator who assisted Houdini, with notary signature and seal; being an account of a meeting attended by about 200 people, led by the mediums Lillian Dillon, Charles Lord, Maggie Waite, and Emery Bailey, the lattermost described as “an unkempt fraud, [who] switches messages and reads them very plainly.” Concerning Waite, Mackenberg swears she “would walk through the congregation, address different persons there, saying I see five or six or seven lights then spell out a name, and everyone of the dupes present there would exclaim Wonderful.” Very good.
