The esprit" proved to be Mrs Robert
J. Hall.

Portland, August %. The Press tomorrow
morning. will publish full exposure of a spiritu-
al medium who has attained great reputation in
Portland and in spritualistic circles throughout
the country by successful naturalization. So
many intelligent people have believed that they
saw and touched departed friends, that great in
terest has been excited in the subject. Tuesday
night five Of our leading ply scians exposed the
mpos.ure by drawing spirit out into the room,
who was found to be the medium, Mrs. Robert
J. Hull. The announcement was complete and
irrefutable, and she could only plead that this
was her first attempt at imposture. The dscov
cry Of the fraud has occasioned great distress to
some families whose feelings have been cruelty
trihed with. The gentlemen who endorse this
statement Professor Wn. Warren Greene,

dozen bands to the Northern cemetery. At the
grave the burial rites Of the Masonic fraternity
were recited.
