were put down when tbe instruments were played upon their persons and soft and delicate fingers touches of what was apparently hands passed over theirs The lights were turned on and the medium examined and was found the same as before We should have said previous to this that his feet were marked on paper after his being first tied all arounc them to show that he could not taove from his position and get back into the mark again A tumbler of water was then placed on the center of the table and foe lights put out when foe water was given to Mr Fay to drinto and when foe lights were brought it was round to an Inverted position upon his head Next two pocket handkerchiefs tied to- er by one knot were placed upon foe laid upon turning on foe light they were found near the back part of foe room tied up in fourteen hard and solid knots The mediant was found tied and marked as Next a coat was placed upon the center of foe table and the knots between Mr wrists were pensil marked Tbe iights were pat down and in five seconds foe lights were turned on one sieve-of the coat wu found upon Mr right arm between foe shoulder and wrists he stiff tied firm and secure The lights were put
