10 believe that spirits associate by affinity, and.
that be true he was no doubt led into 4 different
society OF spirits by sssociating With him. l do
not believe the spirits OF my dear departed friends
could manifest in their presence. and woaid not
willingly allow them 10 mingle with such society
The word Imposter" grated very harshly on my
ears, and have had 10 struggle very bard to over
come the feelings which such cruel charge viii
naturally excite IN every human bosom wnero
honor finds Judgment; but, IN spite OF al my en-
beavers, still feel like other mortas; and TIL
feeling prompts me TO demand justice at the hands
of discerning public, and especially OF those who
have witnessed the entire succ ess OF the same ex-
experiments, which proved total failure with our
Esculapian knee buckles.
The Committees which have frequently met
since the affair with the NJ D.s have witnessed
all the experiments which they attempted. and
can testify TO their entire success. One day, In
presence Of number OF persons, the sans
cushions were brought out, and we took seats
elevated, with our feet upon them, resting on
our heels, when the sounds were distinctly heard
by all present. Capt Rounds and Judge Bur-
roughs were present on that occasion.
Our feet were held from the floor by Dr. Gray
and Mr.. Clark, in presence Of the whole Commit
tee, on the evening of the investig alton made by
the Medical gentlemen, (after they Left and the
sounds were distinctly heard which was allowed
by the Committee to be 4 far more satisfactory
test, as they could distinctly hear the sounds I'M
der their feet and feel the floor jar while our iees
were held nearly or quite foot from the door.
The whole Committee consisted of DR. Gray
and Lady, Mr.. Clark and Lady, Mr.. Everitt and
Lady, MIR. Stringhsm, Mr. Bristol and two gentle
men invited by the Professors.
Most OF the Committee were persons we had
never seen before, but We are informed they are
persons whose testimony can be relied on.
would like 70 have Drs. Flint, L ee and Coventry,
to club their professional lore and perceptive acu
men, and inform the public how bells are rung ana
gongs made TO ring out tunes, untouched oy hu-
man hands for if you have any confidence In
your own citizens, they can tell you what | now
affirm is true. will not be particular 20 mention
the names of all the persons who have witnessed
these striking phenomens, but will give you the
following
C. C. Bristol, Mr.. Gibson, Mr.. Stringham, Mr..
Stephen Dudley, Mr. L. Rumsey, Mr.. Tows, Mr..
Gould, Mr. N. Rogers Mr.. Wells, DR.. Gray and
Mr. Tsllmadge, and they cav refer you TO dozen
other respectable people who have witnessed the
same. While these manifestations were going
on, many of the persons above named have held
u, both so fast by the feet that we could not stir
without their knowledge. They the Doctors)
have attempted to explain one OF the least inn
| portant points, and, as we know, have signslly
| failed. Now let them proceed TO the more dill
cult points or manfully acknow ledge their failure
and our innocence OF fraud
AS DIR. Flint is the editor of the Medical Jour
nal which is published in this city, and as he saw
fit to publish the injurious report againstour moral
| integrity, which was made by the visiting Com
mittee Of NJ. D.'s, we hope he will manifest the
sense of honor which his standing in society war
rants us in looking for, by publishing the contra
diction which must now be evident to him, and
| thereby make the reparation as broad as the IN.
| Jury This would be Just if not magnenlmoas;
