WOMAN APPEARS AS COMPLAINANT AGAINST BAGOYNE

A few minutes after he had gotten off a train here yesterday afternoon, Eugene J. Bagoyne was arrested on George street by Deputy Sheriff Frank P. Kirby on a warrant issued some time ago by Justice of the Peace Charles W. Sedam and which charges fraud.

During October and November 1920, Bagoyne, who is pastor of spiritualist churches in Newark and Elizabeth, is alleged to have obtained from Victoria Okertz the sum of $150 under the pretense that he could by spiritual power get her in communication with her husband, said to be dead.

Mrs. Okertz, who is a resident of Perth Amboy, is complainant in the case. Her husband disappeared some time previous to the alleged experiment with Bagoyne, and it is not known whether he is dead or alive. The complainant alleges that she had no communication with her husband and that the money has not been returned to her.

Bagoyne was arraigned before Justice Sedam and was released under bail. A somewhat similar complaint was made against Bagoyne some time ago while he kept a chapel on Ryder’s Lane near Milltown, but no indictment was found.
