A most tomurkublo iiiirnitlvo of whn ntxy bo of HtnrtlltiR importniico IH tin tory told on tills pa o by David Ab oil , u innKioliin of Omnlin , who bna i mtioiml reputation In psychic circle : ml is himself an enthusiastic mom > or of the American Society for Psj hlcal Rosoarch. Mr. Abbott has made a llfo study o ho tricks of the professional medium Jo thinks there are none which coule eel him with clover performances. Hi s bullied completely by an invalid wo mn of obscure origin and surround In company with Prof. Ilytdop , sue otary of the Amoricnn society , ant Ir. CjeorKo Clawson of Kansas City 0 made for himself and for the road ra of the World-Herald a thorough In estimation of this remarkable wo uan'fl work. Ho tolls the facts as the : ovoloped. IJoInK tin authority accup cd In rocoKni/odauthorltf\tlvo ] psychle lubllcatlons , Mr. Abbott's article ii worth something. While ho docs no .xpross a decided opinion , he shows hi s not able to explain the ronmrkabli xhibitions of the wonderful woman ii Ohio. By David Abbott. The Htory I am about to relate enow will sound strange , told as it ii n the twentieth century , yet It is ubso utoly true. It Is the story of the wife of an hum lie farmer , a woman who has boon th < ovotod mother of llftcon children vho has never been twenty miles fron ior own homo more than once or twici n her life , who lives In an obscure lit lo village called Uraderick , O. , a vil age HO remote from the beaten tracl .hat the only mode of access is by i owboat ferry across the river frou luntington , W. Va. Jt is the story o Mrs. K. Ulako , who has boon a wondo nd a mystery to her friends for lift ; 'ears. A good , kind old lady is Mrs. Blalu ust such as 'our grandmothers used t MS. A woman of no great amount o 'ducatlon , but withal a woman o powerful intelligence. For many years tills wonderful we nan remained hidden in her littl tome , visited by thousands of person * Tel , among tliu hundreds who visilui ler not one of them over gave her caste to the world. It remained for a magician todiscov or and test her wonderful powers , t nagiclan who frankly acknowlegoi that his trloks wore but tricks , and man who had investigated and expose nany frauds in the way of mediums i ; its day. This magician was Mr. E. & Parsons of Now Haven , Conn. , wit whom I have corresponded for som , lmo. Mr. Parsons was so improssc ly a chance account of this wonderfu woman that lie made a journey of fiO miles lo see her and lo discover lie trick , if trick it wau. When Mr. Parsons wont to see Mn Dlake , ho thought merely to obtain .low trick. What ho saw ama/ml bin It Impressed him so strongly that h , vroto me of the occurrence , describin 1 state of all'uirs which promised to b one of the wonders of the age , if trui And a magician has a keen eye and 1 not likely to bo deceived , relying s largely , as he does , upon his eyes an ils hands for his tricks. Ho conclude long account of his own actual o ? , ) orlonces with this woman as follow ! "Now , Mr. Abbott , 1 bollove I hav liscovorod a real medium , more wet ierful than Homo , and the spirit con inunion has been proven , or that have found a lady greater In skill tha any scientist , The thing may be trick , but with over forty years exper once In the study of maglu and the ai luaintanco of all the great magician my wits wore not sharp enough to se now this could bo done by trickery. "Brlotly her very marvelous power I this : She hands you a tin trumpet a made that it consists of two sum trumpets with the bolls fastened t < gothor. Tbo trumpet Is thirty iuclu long and tapers from two inches i diameter at the center to one-half inc at the small ends. On these small em are saucer shaped pieces that lit tt ears. ears.You You place one end of this trumpet I your ear , and Mrs. Blake places tl other end to her ear. Immediate ! voices in th trumpet address yo These voices are usually whispers , ar and claim to be the voices of your doc friends and relatives. Mrs. Blake will , instead of holdii : the trumpet to her ear , hold it in hi palm , or allow ouo end placed again her back. In any case you hear tl voices just the same. Her lips ai tightly closed and there Is no uiov ment of the muscles of the throat i lips. A third party can listen at in throat and lips , while the voices are the trumpet. 1 have heard them ju as plainly in n glass lamp chimney , i the sound-hole of n guitar that wi laying on the table. This is done anywhere , in broad da light , even out of doors , and the info ination and names given by the void is always correct. One of the strau est things was that an old music toac or of my boyhood days announce ! himself , and said ho would llko to pin for mo , Immediately I hoard passage of piano playing in the trumpet , am my friends In the room also hoard il I had not thought of this gontlotnai for ton years , and I live ilve hundrei miles from Mrs , Blake , She had n moans to oven know my name , yet th voices told mo correctly many thing of my own private llfo. " "Now , my dear Mr. Abbott , this 1 not hysterical 'gush. ' I assure you have In no way exaggerated or paddo the facts , I have soon those thing ! Sincerely yours , E , A. Parsons. " Weighty Testimony. Had I received the above from an ordinary source I should have given HI tlo credence to such a report. But t receive such a letter from a profession al magician and a man of the stamlln of E. A. Parsons in the world of magit was a different thing entirely. He is i man who Is an export in the porfoi iimnco of all kinds of tricks and e ; pocially used by professional medium ! so-called. I determined to look into the matte and learn for myself if on the glob there really existed a being who pos sosHcd powers out of the ordinary , succeeded in establishing a correspoi donco with a man hi Huntiugton , \ \ Va. , who was thoroughly informed o the case. A man whoso integrity Is be yond question , What I learned froi him completely verified the statement 1 had previously received and intoresl ed mo greatly. "Tho voices , " said my friend , whom will call Mr. X. , "can bo heard out o doors as well as indoors. I have mj self heard them while riding with he lu a public road in a carriage. He lips are closed and there is no percopl iblo motion of the throat or lips. " Resolves to Investigate. After receiving several letters cor taining wonderful personal expor ouces , I bocamo'Jlrmly convinced tha this must surely bo a case entirely on of the ordinary , and I resolved to ac and investigate it. I wrote Prof. Jnnu II. Hyslop , secretary of the America Society for Psychical Research , an gave him an outline of the case , found him deeply interested and aux ous for an investigation. Meanwhile did not reveal to him the name of th lady or the location. I determined to make this iuvestlgi tion at once and to conduct it on sue lines as would entirely remove tli possibility of any kind of trickery bi ing employed. I will say for sue readers as may not know , Unit I am performer of the tricks used by tli hundreds of professional spirit mi diums that travel over the land. I ai thoroughly familiar with the vurioi ; "systems" by which they gain the h formation that they give their subject and I determined to entirely romov the possibility of anything of the kin being used in this case. 1 was unknown to anyone in thi part of the country , with the oxceptio of "Mr. X , " who merely know m name and residence. He know nothln of any of relatives or of the towi : whore they reside. I was entirely sa isllod that this gentleman was of to high a character to attempt to , lour anything of my history by corrospoi deuce , and reveal it to this lady , bi sides I found gathering informatio about poisons at a distance of 1X , ( miles a very "up-hill" business. Neve tholoss to make assurance doubly sur I determined to take this gontlema with mo entirely unknown and to tali him under an assumed name. Selects a Companion. The gentleman 1 selected was M Cioorgo W. Clawson of Kansas Cit ; Mo. , who , like myself , is a member ( the American Society of Psychical Ki search. I did not reveal to him whoi ho was to go ( with the exception that was to bo within 100 miles of Ciuoini ti ) until two days before starting , then merely wrote him that we woul go to Huntiugtoii , but gave no name I did not tell him the lady's name c town until we arrived in Huntlngto and had started for her village. Jus before starting from Omaha I wire Prof. Hyslop in New York when an where to meet mo in Huntingtou. went by way of Kansas City and jolne Mr. Clawson there. I asked him t choose a name to travel under and 1 : did so. The name was C. E. Wilson , Mr. Clnwson registered at the Plorei tine hotel under the name of C. 1 Wilson and I introduced him to "M X" under that name. It was the llri time that I had met "Mr. X. " and as 1 had only known of mo since April , was certain that even he was in tl dark as to my history. I had careful ! instructed Mr. Clawsou in the methc of asking questions so as to reveal i information between linos. As ho wi an attorney ho proved an apt pup : and I was soon certain I need have r fears on that score. I was present t all of the sittings and heard evei word , so that any information U voices gave , I knew must be obtalue by some means out of the ordinal channels. Meets the Woman. At 10 o'clock on Monday , the morn Ing of our arrival , wo drove to the Ohio riror and crossed in n row boa' ' lo the opposite shore. Mr. Blake wai on the porch turning people away \vh < wore begging for an audience , Ho in formed us that Mrs. Blake was jnabli to glvo any sittings , was just recover ing from a six weeks' npoll of sickness and had only been out of bed two days Wo finally induced him by great per suasion to at least permit us to see hot Wo found her sitting by her windov in a willow rocker with her crutche by her side. She explained to us tha she did not refuse on account of an ; weakening oifects that the work Inu on her , but simply because at time whoti her physical condition was rui down , that her "voices" wore so inartlc ulato as to tnako it next to impossibl to understand the words ; that unlos she could give satisfaction she preferred forrod to glvo nothing. Before describing what followed will otato tlmt wo had in all four sit tings with Mrs. Blako. This ono , whicl lasted only twenty minutes , ono glvoi In the evening after the arrival of Prol Hyslop , ouo the following morning a 10 o'clock , and ono in the same after noon at I ! o'clock. The Orst tliroo wor held in Mrs. Blake's homo and the las ono WPS given across the river at th olllco of "Mr. X. , " where wo had takoi Mrs. Blake lo have a pholograph luk en. en.Tho The first day the results wore pooi simply owing to our inability to un derstand the words , they Doing vor , weak and inarticulate , owing to Mrs Blake's weakness. On the second da ; flho way much stronger and result wore far more wonderful. The sittini given in the afternoon when she wa oxhileratod by the carriage ride wa very remarkable. In this the voice could frequently have boon hoard 10 foot away. The information rocoivei was most marvelous and wo recoivoi in ail nineteen correct names , whil we received none that wore wrong. A the first silling , however , wo oblainei very little , merely three correct name : There was much conversation that w could not understand , but what we di < understand was correct. Talks With the Departed Mrs. Blake placed the trumpet wit ! ouo end on her palm and the othc end on the palm of Mr. Clawson ( Wi ! son ) . In a moment Mr. Clawsou sale "How heavy that is gelling. " Then i began moving upward and Mrs. Blak said , "Some ouo desires lo speak I you , place that end to your oar. " Mi Clawson did so and Mrs.'Blako placci the other end to her ear. Her lips wor tightly closed , but 1 at once hoard whisper in the trumpet addressing Mi Clawson. Mr. Clawson then said , "Who ar you ? " I could not understand the rt ply , but I hoard Mr. Clawson say , "Yo say you are my brother ? You say yo' ' are my brother Eddy ? " 1 supposed a the tlmo Unit this was an error for did not know that Mr. Clawsou ha over had such a brother , but aftoi wards when we wore crossing Iho rive Mr. Clawson told mo that the voic said plainly that "This was his brothe Eddy , " and that ho had n brother EC ward , who had died at the age of tw years. After the voice gave this informr tion , it made some further remark which Mr. Clawsou could not undei stand , so ho said to mo , "You take thi oud of the trumpet and see if you en : understand what they say. " I was sil ting directly in front of him and I eli as he directed. A voice addresse something to mo , but I could not ur dorstand the articulation. Finally understood the words , "Can't yo hoar ? " I replied , "Yes , who are you ? The voice said , "I am your brother an I want to talk to mother. Toll her The balance of the sentence was ic articulate , and 1 asked , "What shall tell her ? " The voice thoii spoke plain ly , "Toll her that I love hor. " I the asked the voice to give its name , bu could not understand the reply , gave the trumpet to Mr. Clawson t see if ho could understand. The voic kept saying to Mr. Clawson , "I want t talk to my brother. " He gave th trumpet back to me and I asked , "Wh do you want to talk to ? " The voice pronounced a name that could not understand , but kept repeal ing it until 1 heard the name "Brothe Davie , Brother Davie , " repeated tw times and finally the following "Brother Davie Abbott. " "Abbott , was then repeated a time or twc These names wore plain and I was cei tain that it was my name that was prc nounced. I said , "Yes , you seem to b repeating my name all right. " I di not repeat the name myself or in an way mention it. Mr. Clawson now took the trumpc and a voice addressed him and said : " am your brother. " Mr. Clawson sale "Who else is there , " and the voice an swered , -'Your mother. " Ho agai usked , "Who else ? " and the voice sale "Your baby. " He then asked for Ih baby to talk and give its name , bu could not understand what was said i reply. Finally a voice ( seemingly girl's ) , addressed Mr. Clawsou. H thought he understood the name "Ec na. " Now , Mr. Olawoon nod a doa daughter with whom ho was extremely anxious to communicate. Her name was Georgia Chastlne , and she died n few years ago just after griduatlng from a school of dramatic art. Remarkable Answers. Mr. Clawsou was very anxious to communicate with his daughter and seemed to think the voice was hors , sc disregarding the name which ho took to bo "Edni , " ho said : "SVhat was your pet name for mo ? " The voice rej' plied , "I always called you 'DaddieV This was the name that Georgia had always used iu addressing her father , Ho then said , "What was your pot name for your , mother ? " and the voice replied "Mux and Muzzle. " This was also correct , as 1 have frequontlj hoard her use those names myself. Mr Clawson then asked for the voice tc ; ivo his name , but the reply could not 3e understood. I will say in oxplana .ion that the mother and a baby of Mr Clawson's wore both dead , but ho at templed lo carry on no further con versation with them at this time. Jusl at tills point another voice said , "I air grandma. " Mr. Clawson said , "Grand ma who ? " I could not understand the words in Iho trupot , but Mr. Clawson who was listening , remarked : "Yot say Grandma Daily ? That's' protlj good , " and turning to mo ho said "The voice says Grandma Daily ii hero. " Just at this point Mrs. Blako'f strength failed her and wo had to giv < up Iho silling. Mr. Clawsou told mo when crossing the river that the last voice said "Dave's grandma is bore , " but as hi and I are cousins ho first supposed thi ; was our grandmother , and asked "Grandma who ? " The facts are that 1 had a Grandmother Daily on 1113 mother's side. Mrs. Blake did not keep the Irumpo : lo her ear all of Iho time , but at times lot it rest in'.hor hand and placed hoi palm against the end of it. There was no cessation of the voices at such time ! and her lips remained lighlly closed When Iho trumpet lay in her hand the voices seemed to mo to originate in hoi hand , but when it was to her ear thoj aoomod to me to originate at her oar. She told me that she had heard the voices in her oars when she was a litth girl , and lhat some thirty years ago t gentleman had n thin trumpet madi for her to try. She then discovorec lhat any closed receptacle confined the voices and made the sounds louder anc more distinct. Afterwards she triec using the double trumpet. Wo re turned to Huutiugton where wo me Prof. Hyslop on his arrival , and iu the evening wo again crossed the river te Mrs. Bluko's homo. Medium's Dead Son. When wo arrived at Mrs. Blako's cot lago no names wore given to her , auc wo sat iu her room. Wo sat for a verj long time wilh no resulls , and hae about abandoned all hope of anythini occurring when suddenly Iho deep toned voice of a man appeared about i foot below and behind Mrs. Blake'i head. The \oice was melodious , sof and low iu pitch tmd very distinct This is the voice that Is claimed to bi that of her dead .sou , Abe. There wa ! u note of sadness , and it spoke thosi words : "My friends , I am sorry to sb ; that owing to my mother's weak con dition it will be impossible for us u give any manifestations this evonin ) that are worth anything. Wo deepl ; regret this , but it is.beyond our powei to give you anything of value , as she i : very weak. " It is hardly necessary to state tha we refused to take this statement us i dismissal , but continued to remain In a short time wo hoard the voice of i man of a different tone entirely , whicl Mr. X. recognized as that of his grand father. The tone was the same as tha of the voices of real old men. The con vorsatiou was commonplace , and thoi a much more robust voice , with a fa ; deeper tone , spoke and said : "Lew , wi 'will give way to the others. " This Mr X. recognized as the voice of his father These voices were open ; that is , the : were iu no trumpet. I reached dowt to the floor and picked up the trumpe which I had brought with me , and soot a voice addressed me. The voice coulc bo heard issuing from the trumpet b : the others present. I said : "Who ii this ? " and 1 thought the voice replied "Grandmu Daily. " I said to Mrs Blake : "Who do you understand thii to be ? " She replied : "It sounds like Grandma Daily. " I then said : "Well grandma , wha do you want to say ? " She replied "Davie , I love you and I am all right It's all right , Dave. It's all right. Ane I want you to tell your mother , anc tell her that I am all right and happy and Pap is , too. " I may here remark that my grand mother Daily always called me "Davie , " and she called my grand father "Pap. " I will also state that : have a sister Ada , but no one in tha' ' part of the country could have knowt of this , and I was in no way thiukiuj of her at the time. This sister mj grandmother and us children always called "Ady. " The voice irntnediatelj continued as follows : "I want you to tell your mother , and tell your father , Davie , that I have talked to you , and I want you to tel ( Concluded on page7) ) . C.
