REGENT STREET MYSTERY

POLICE AND A MYSTICAL SOCIETY FOUNDER.

There was a sequel at Marlborough-street to-day to a raid by Scotland Yard officers on the premises in Regent-street of the Mystical Society known as the “M.M.M.,” when Mrs. Mary Davies, psychist, was remanded, charged with professing to tell fortunes.

When the police entered, Mrs. Davies was seated on a throne in the Temple, surrounded by about ten people, and certain rites were in progress. The names and addresses of the persons present were taken, and Mrs. Davies was arrested.

Detective Curry said that he informed defendant that he understood that she called the place the Order of the Temple of the Orient. “Your founder is a man of evil reputation, and a traitor to this country.”
