Slater, John (1861-1932)
American clairvoyant who, for 50 years, gave remarkable demonstrations of reading sealed letters and giving names, data, and specific information on deceased people from the platform. He traveled all over the United States and attracted big audiences. In 1930, he established his right to function as a medium in Detroit, Michigan. A clergyman had him arrested for making predictions, then a statutory offense, but he won the case with costs and continued his work thereafter undisturbed. He later moved to San Francisco.
