knowlcdging her Guplicity, but produc
ing "naterial evidences of 1t in tb
shape OF all those little tokens of regalr
which she had been fondly believed {,
have borne off in her spirit shape TO he
abode in the other "spear," as most o
the affected term it. The presenta
lion of these could not POSSIBLY fail t.
convince the persons who had giver
them 10 the spiritual Kate that the lat
ter had place of deposit on this plane
for her vaIu:blcs, 50 that course was de
termincd upon.
THE DECEIVED UNDECEIvED.
All who are acquainted with the Hon
Robert Dale Owen and DR.. Henry L
Child, of this ely, will not hesitate &c
say that thev are honest, upright, truth
full men, but, like the rest of humanity
they were liable 10 be deceived. The
party who had made the discovery con.
suited these gentlemen, showing them
tho "presents which Kate had kindly
loaned him. They, having been iden,i
| fed with the manifestations from the
first, were considered, when the fraud
was discovered, the proper parties 10 dc
nounce them.
One word from them casting n doubt
on the reality of the thing would have
more effect upon the people than fifty
exposures gotten up by outside parties.
Moreover, the spiritualists, who were
the real victims, vera supposed to have
unlimited confidence in the integrity of
these gentlemen. With commemorate
promptness they Immediately sent TO
the Banner Of Light the cards recently
copied In our columns announcing the
withdrawal of their confidence in the
manifestations.
ASSURANCE RENDERED DoUDLY SURE.
In order 10 make tic conviction ALSO
lutte on the part Of those Who had hiiher-
TO Endorsed the manifestations, that the
naturalization process WAS most
barefaced humbug, the gentleman i'm
provised scancc. Procuring suitable
apartment, 10 whi,h he invited number
Of "kaIie's friends, the gentleman
prearranged with the lady, who now nc
quiesced IN his suggestions for her APP
pearance, dressed in the gauze fabric
and.othcr trappings she nsed to disport
herself in at Holmes shows. She did
80, sort of cabinet being hastily i'm
and The exposure was render.
I'd complete, beyond chance Of cavil
or dispute.
AS n result, there arc few Spiritual
lists who are better and wiser men and
women, and, as still better result, It
check was administered TO most dan
gerons excitement, which Was begin
rlng to affect the minds of thousands Of
superficial thinkers, as it had already
weakened those of many men and wo-
men who believed all too willingly IN
the trickcry OF designing, greedy New
Workers, Of the true " Yankee" stripe
RESTITUTION.
The woman who pcrsonn,ed Katie
King has already returned, as far as pos
slb!e, all the presents she received, 10
to those who gave them To her. She
deeply regretted her part of the swlndlc,
and if all the facts in the case could be
made public, she would he freely for
given by those who were dupcd 10y her
aid.
THE END.
SO ends one of tho most successfully
swindles that has ever been
imposed upon the American public. |
From every part of the country and the
Canadas, persons came 10 This city to
see Katie King" Glowing accounts
IF what they saw and heard were sent 80
heir local papers, and tho "phenome-
ION " was publicly discussed and talked
# until it formed one of the leading
opics OF the day among persons of all
:lasses.
The harm that has boon done By thi.
wicked humbug is incalcu!able, tic hap
lness of whole families having been, in |
'ome instances, destroyed. For causing
/ termination of these disastrous influ- |
,ncos, the gentleman to whose keen in
diligence, GOODNESS and persevqring eff
ort the exposure is due, has placed not
mi y this community, but those of other
,itles, under lasting obligations.

STILL RUNNING.
Ii is said that the Holmes seanccs arc

made for the non-appcarance of Katie

'art of the old reprobate pirate through
false face at another aperture in the
