'''A. Conan Doyle Discovers Photos of Fairies'''

London, Jan. 21. — [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|A. Conan Doyle]], creator of [[Sherlock Holmes]] and believer in spiritism, thinks he has found some pictures of fairies in action.

Not the stage kind.

But the fabled fairies.

He has contributed an article to a current magazine in which he tells about accumulating a surprising number of experiences of persons who claim to have seen fairies.

And he presents photographic proof in the form of pictures with tiny fairies dancing before some Yorkshire girls, who took the snapshots.

"Bunk," says Maurice Hewlett, an other English novelist.

And proceeds to argue the pictures are fakes.
