SIR CONAN DOYLE DEFENDS 'MARGERY' AGAINST ATTACKS Exposure of Medium by Rhines Called "Colossal Impertinence" AFFIRMS OWN BELIEF Says, in Letter to Boston Herald, That Trained Observers of All Sorts Endorsed Phenomena (Special to The Gazette.) Boston, March Arthur Conan Doyle has come publicly to the defence of Mrs. L. R. G.

Crandon, better known as "Margery" the medium, the authenticity of whose phencmena so much controversy has raged. The most recent exposure of "Margery," by Dr. and Mrs. J. B.

The counter-attack by Sir Arthur contained in a communication received today by the Boston Herald, entitled by the author "The Crandon Circle."

It was largely my advice which led to Dr. Crandon laying the remarkable psychic powers of his wife before the public for the selfish purpose of broadening our knowledge. Had I foreseen the stupidity and malignancy which he was destined to encounter, I should have hesitated to urge him on.

"I read this morning in your columns a so-called 'exposure' of Dr. and Mrs. Crandon, (Margery) by a Dr. Rhine. I afterward wrote to my friends to say that thought Job was 1 hot-blooded and impetuous person compared to them," wrote Sir Arthur.

"Consider the colossal impertinence of. this attack. The Crandon circie has been attended by hundreds of inquirers, some of whom have sat for a great number of times. These sitters have included professors, doctors, conjurors, trained observers of all sorts. The vast majority have endorsed the phenomena.

"Where there have been doubts, no reasonable explanation of the results have been forthcoming. When any objection has been raised, the procedure has been modified in order to meet, this objection. "And comes Dr. Rhine with his eagle eye, and on the strength of a single sitting, he broadcasts the opinion that all these years of ceaseless labor and contention have been founded upon senseless fraud, and all these sitters incompetent dupes. "I have kept a close record of the Crandon case from the beginning, as I might well do considering the remarkable psychic powers of his wife, before the public for the unselfish purpose of broadening our knowledge.

"At any moment they might have been free from their troubles by abandoning their altruistic work. Far from doing SO they have with quiet persistent courage extended its field, and met with fresh dispositions every reasonable difficulty put forward by a bona-fide inquirer. In all America I no nobler, braver work than theirs."
