"BLACK MAGIC."

MR. ALEISTER CROWLEY TO APPEAL.

The "Telegraph" understands than an appeal is being lodged on behalf of Mr. Aleister Crowley against the verdict given for the defendant in his recent action for alleged libel.

Mr. Crowley complained that in her book "Laughing Torso," Miss Nina Hamnett stated that he had had a temple at Cefalu, Sicily, where he was supposed to have practised black magic.
