Harry Houdini
ruled dead by
By JACK SCHREIBMAN
Associated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. In one
of the graver decisions of the city's
moot Court of Historical Review, a
judge ruled yesterday that Harry
Houdini is dead and gone, these 61
years, and unavailable for post-mor
tem appearances.
The courtroom window blinds
shook and the bench echoed with
rappings and jigglings after Munici
pal Court Judge George T. Choppelas
opined that the legendary magician
had six decades to get his act together
and that was enough.
Unseen hands, including the
judge's, were suspected of creating
the mysterious noises, but no proof
was offered.
The question before the 48th session
of the court, which regularly takes up
matters of great importance such as
who invented the martini, was wheth
er it was worthwhile continuing to
seek contact with Houdini's spirit.
The participants are real-life public
officials, but the court has no real-life
powers.
"I am proclaiming a spiritualistic
statute of limitations of 61 years,"
intoned the judge after testimony,
including that of a witness imperson
ating Houdini correspondent Arthur
Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock
Holmes.
"I further proclaim," Choppelas
went on, "that any subsequent at
tempts to contact the spirit world of
Harry Houdini will be nothing more

finally
court
`I further proclaim
that any subsequent
attempts to contact
the spirit world of
Harry Houdini will be
nothing more than
futile . . . all things
come to an end.'
—Municipal Court Judge
George T. Choppelas
than futile ... all things come to an
end.-
At the counsel table, U.S. Attorney
Joseph Russoniello exulted as the
judge sided with him, opponent City
Attorney Louise Renne frowned, and
lawyer Frank Winston, representing
the departed's spirit, leaped to his
feet and cried: "Houdini will escape
from your ruling!"
Houdini, an avid debunker of fake
spiritualists and seances, died
Oct. 31, 1926, a few days after taking
a powerful punch in the abdomen
following a challenge that he easily
could survive such blows.
Earlier, Houdini had publicly an
nounced that if it were possible to
communicate after death he would.
After issuing his opinion, the judge
bowed his head and quoted Houdini's
widow, Beatrice, on the occasion
when she gave up seance efforts to
contact her dead husband 10 years
after his death.
