M1TING FOR A "COME BACK"
rromised Sights from Spirit World
Fail to Show Up.
KOVXL COMPACTS OF NOTABLES
.aabress Podmore, James mod
Other Vaaccoantablr Drlar
Their Premises' "Ghost
Walk."
X frw months ago Caeara Ixmbroso, th
gratet crtnilnolpRlut the world ever
knsw, died In his Italian home. Bonn time
before he had become a convert to the
tenets of spiritualism. On his deathbed
he made a remarkable assertion. To the
friends who had gathered about him In his
last lllneas he announced his Intention of
coming back from the spirit world and
holdlne communion with his family and
his friends. No one who knew hlra doubted
that his determined soul would fall in Its
intent If It were possible to break through
the veil of alienee.
One dark night a few niontha ago the
body uf Frank Podmore. who waa known
aa the "keeper of England's ghost rec
ords," waa found In a rew lncnea of water
near th shore of a half-wild lak In th
English hills. Twenty-five years before
ha bad rntered into a compact with his
two friends. . IMmocd Ouerney and Fred
erick W. Myers.
"lu the event of either of our deaths,"
go the compact ran, "tn one who goea on
belor ball, if poaelble, revlait aad mak
his presence known to the two survivors."
Two years afterwards Edward Guerney
died. His two friends waited patiently for
some word from hlrn, but none 'came. 'No
message waa given them from the spirit
In the bark of beyond. Had he forgot
ten? Wer the difficulties too great to be
overcome? Nearly twenty years after
wards Myers, the poet and the dreamer
of th trio, passed Into the other world.
Before hla death he assured his friend,
Podmore, that If It were within th reajms
of possibility he would reach out from the
world of phantasms and niake hi presence
felt. Podmore waited In vain for the mes
aag. A few days before his death Pod
more announced to one of his associates
that It was his Intention to come back from
the grave and In some unmistakable man
ner communicate with hla friends whom hi
would leave behind.
One of the rare minds of America per
ished when William James of Harvard
University passed away a few weeks ago.
For years this brilliant man had been In
terested more and more In the land that
lies beyond th grave. Latterly h had
ben much Influenced by the remarkable
manifestations produoed by Kusapla Pal
ladlno and her disciples. Within th last
year be published an essay on occult sub
jects. He called 'th paper "The Confi
dence of a Psychical Kexearcher." and
statea therein that he Is more than con
vinced of th reality and genuineness of
psychical phenomena. He placed himself
on record aa believing that w ars now
on th verge of many remarkable dis
coveries In this ghostly realm.
Promised to "Cosn Baek."
Before his death h made a compact
with a number of his fellow-students who
knew hla Inmost dreams on things occult,
ii promised them that wttbln a weak
after hla death ha would return to them
If th forces In th land of spirits did not
prov too strong for his greatest effort
to overcome.
Back In 1906 Richard Hodgson, on 'of
the greatest psychical students of the
New World, parsed through the gates of
death. He, too, made th promise that he
would send back soma undoubted word
to his friends and fellow-students left be
hind. Hodgson waa secretary and treas
urer of the American Branch for the' So
ciety of Psychical Research. Ha had
spent much of his life In studying ghost
lor and dreaming of . the possibility of
untrammeled worlds beyond th - hour of
death, j
Caesar Lombroso ha not spoken, de
spite his solemn promise. . Podmore, Ilka
his' two friends, Myers and Guerney,
seems to have forgotten his compact
Prof. James hits not as yet penetrated
th veil of silence that separates the quick
and the dead. Soma of th associates of
Hodgson claim that Intelligent and char;
acterlstlo communication have been re
ceived from him onca or twice since his
death. Others of his Intimates, when
questioned concerning these messages,
merely shrug their shoulders and refuse
to discuss th matter. '
Will the dead aver send a message to
the living? Is It possible for the spirits
of th departed to teach across th chasm
that separates the two worlds and have
speech with their kindred and their
friends? It was this question that Lora
broso, James, Pod mora, Guerney, Hodg
son, Myers and others wer trying to an
swer definitely when they promised to
come back. This unanswered question li
age-old. Th promises made by these men
have again fanned the smoldering inter
est In th subject into a blase. The driv
ers la psyebio research tav rorlved hop
In those supernatural possibilities and ex
pectancy has been reborn.
For - mora than a generation the modern
school of spiritualism has been trying to
establish authentic communication with
the dead. Borne of the greatest minds of
the race have been devoting themselves to
a close stvfdy of the question. Volumes of
data have been collected showing the un
doubted existence of phenomena unexplaln
able by any of the laws of nature. Borne
of the most logical thinkers of the race
have yielded to-th vast array of Argu
ment, and this one thing Is all that they
hav asked before they would finally
acknowledge th existence of the legions
of spirits. Man after man of them has
promised to send soma word of what lies
beyond In 'that vague and ahadowy land
Inhabited by disembodied spirits. So far
no word has com back from all th long
array of name, i
Lomhroso Revived Iaterest.'
' Th hopes of all men Interested In th
cult of th psychic wer roused y th
announcement of Liombroso prior to bis
death. Many felt that this determined
soul would find a way where others had
failed. All his life' he had been a worker
and a keen and observant student. Hs
books on the' definite criminal type, th
born criminal,' th stigmata of crime and
the characteristics of the "Femal Offen
der" had stamped him as a genius of no
ordinary caliber. Late In life b became
an anthuslactlo convert of that Italian
wonder worker, Eusapla PalladJno. In th
oourse of a series of remarkable seances
he was convinced of her genuineness be
yond the shadow of a doubt. Th last of
hi working hour war given over entirely
to a study of psychic phenomena. ' His
great studies along tha Una of crime and
th criminal war forgotten. H was ab
sorbed entirely In th new vistas opened
up by th peasant apostle of tha occult.
He was a changed man from th Lom
hroso of a few months before.
When Lombroso announced that he
would penetrate tha silence and return
with a message for all th world, thou
sands waited in hope. Days passed.
weeks came and went, months lengthened
and still no word cam out of th dark.
The watchers and listeners gave up hope.
Possibly th fetter of the land of phan
tasms wera too strong for tha determined
old scientist, and he was forced to sit
helplessly on the other side of the chasm.
William Jones had been professor of
philosophy in Harvard university for thirty-
five years. H bad watched th gradual rise
of th study of psychic phenomena and had
dipped Into 4t at odd time himself. For
years h doubted and poked gently satirical
fun at the earnest students of the new
movement. As he grew older h became
mor and mora Interested. In tha last year
of his Ufa ha had this to say of th whole
subject:
"1 am baffled as to spirit return, and as
to many other special problems. I am also
baffled as to what to think of this or that
particular story, for th sources of error
In any on observation are seldom fully
knowabl. But weak sticks make strong
fagots; and when th stories tall into con
sistent sorts that point each In a definite
direction, on get a sens of being In tha
presence of genuinely natural types of phe
nomena. As to there being such types, real
and natural, Ignored by orthodox science,
I am not baffled at all. I am fully con
vinced of it."
Further along in this, the last of his
psychological papers h asks himself these
questions; "What Is th mother sea of th
spirit! T what tracts and chart! eta spaces
within It do our spirits correspond? Are
individual spirits constituted there? How
numerous and of bow many hierarchic
orders may these spirits ba? Are they per
manent or transient?"
Doubtless be hoped to bring the answers
to many of those problems from the world
beyond. Weeks hav gone by since he was
burled, and yet there has been 'no word
received from out th "mysterious bourne."
William Jones, brilliant student and keen
philosopher, has failed ven as Lomhroso
failed before hj in. The rare, keen Hodgson,
too, Is silent.
Frank Podmore, the keeper of th rec
ords of th English Society for Psychical
Research, had been delving in ghostly lore
for thirty years. The more superstitious
of his English friends feel sure that If
tl ere be anything In th tale of tha ghost
hunter hi unquiet spirit must be wan
derlng these autumn nights In th shadows
of the Malvern hills. They feel that if It
be In any manner possible for th deUd to
speak sums message from his spirit will
come out of th silent regions of th great
unknown. The tale of his compact to re
turn to earth after death la tangled with
the lives of his two devoted friends, Myers
and Guerney. These three wer dreamers
who vlsioned wonderful thing more than
thirty years ago.
It Is s weird and uncanny tale of these
three visionaries who lived for years In
that shadowy twilight that marks the
Known from the unknown. Dead men were
tha favorite subjects of their conversation;
si pernatural manifestations, ghostly mes
sages and sheeted forms speaking to ths
living In sepulchral tones wer th themes
tf their Investigations. It was In the very
youth of the Lngliah Society for Psychical
Research, when sane and staid citizens
looked askance at man who devoted their
lives to so weird a pursuit. These three
young men wer th most prominent mem
ber of the struggling society, and wer
thrown constantly in each other's com
pany. A fsw months before entering Into
their Strang compact they had collabo
rated In the compilation of a book that
mad a great stir In th rank of the fol
lower of the occult. "Phantasms of th
Living" thsy called this remarkable col
lection of seemingly supernatural happen
ings. After the death of th poet, Myers, Pod
more grew less and less skeptical. Th
Strang tale that he had been listening
to for so many year began to fasten the
grip of belief upon him. Night and day
he was seeking proofs of ghosts and
haunt-ridden houses In all parts of Eng
land. Uncanny tales were constantly com
ing before him as ha traveled from town
to town. His of floe In the Society of
Psychical Research had shelf after shelf
laden with the testimony taken In thou
sands of oases. r '
A year or so ago Podmore began to walk
much In lonely places among the hills or
along the country roads after nightfall.
Doubtless strange figures walked beside
blm on those midnight tramps, or lurked
In th hedgerows and darker groves. More
and mora tha conviction grew upon him
that he wa able to see many spiritual
forms In ths half light of vh midsummer
nights of England. There are many folk
In England who are wondering if there
was any bint of suicide in th manner of
his death. No on can tell, but th mys
teries that bewildered him for three
decades ar doubtless clear to him now.
Doubtless he has learned why his friends,
Myers and Guerney, were unable to reach
him while he was yet In th flash. New
York Times.
