Henry Mansfield



Henry Mansfield (born c. 1858) was a professional clairvoyant, palmist, etc., active in the first decades of the twentieth century, working in the Pacific Northwest, first in Washington state, and ultimately in San Francisco, California.

Preliminary Background
In 1916, Mansfield sued lawyer Harry L. Stafford, accusing him of misappropriating $20,000 dollars; Stafford denied the charge, and held that Mansfield was a victim of "mental brainstorms," relating that Mansfield had been arrested in Modesto, California months earlier owing to a "demented" state.
