C. A. Alexander
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Claude Alexander Conlin, 1880 - 1954, was famous worldwide for his supposed "psychic" abilities.
He made his reputation answering questions "mentally sent" to him by audiences. It was also said that his ever present turban contained an early radio unit in order to hear members of the audiences talking. This would have helped as he transformed himself into the "man who knew all." He made a fortune giving private sessions for high fees.

Conlin was a popular mentalist and psychic reader in the 1920's who managed to marry seven times and admitted to killing four men during a very colorful and checkered career. That including high speed boat chases smuggling booze, and making more money in adjusted dollars than The Beatles.
