Rita, A.
British private medium, who only sat with friends, in darkness, without passing into trance, and kept up a running conversation throughout with apparitions who apparently brought their own light. In 1878, in a séance in Amsterdam, Holland, he impersonated the spirit entity "John King" and was exposed
as a fraud and accomplice of the medium Charles Williams. Masks, false beard, and white muslin were found secreted on him.
