MADAME MARIE HAS ALREADY SECURED LOCAL COUNSEL: The City of Philadelphia has decided to enforce an obscure Commonwealth law, 18 Pa. C.S. § 7104, which classified as a misdemeanor any person who "pretends for gain or lucre, to tell fortunes or predict future events, by cards, tokens, the inspection of the head or hands of any person, or by the age of anyone, or by consulting the movements of the heavenly bodies, or in any other manner," etc. (Full text in comments.)

Although, heh, it goes on to include "or publishes by card, circular, sign, newspaper or other means that he can predict future events"? Arrest Brian Tierney.
