Houdini, Harry (Ehrich Weisz). Houdini Spiritualist Legal Complaint. Dated Apri, 1926. Original carbon of a legal complaint against Houdini and the Princess Theatre by Edward B. Zahn and Alonzon M. Griffen regarding Houdini?s supposed defamation of the character of spirit mediums. The complaint states that Houdini called Dr. Burgess, among other things, ?a crook and a thief,? thus ruining his good reputation. Two legal-size pages. Very good.
