visited Madame Silva, well-known
spiritual medium on Pine street, and OBJ
tanned an interview with the celebrated
criminals spirit. When he reached the
house OF the medium he was shown into

the medium explained was on account of
having To- clear the room of some evil
spirits Who had been summoned To converse
with ST. Louis detective-he was ushered
into the consultation room. The room was
small and dark and did not present other
than an ordinary appearance, excepting a
small wooden table, around the legs of

and large dark curtain was suspended on
the wall.
The reporter stated bis mission, and was
shown seat near the mysterious table.
The medium said she feared that Mr..
Guiteau could not be called, as he had
only been gone a short time, and had hard
ly time to reach the spirit land, but she
was willing To try. She took mp a small
slate and closed her eyes after calling for
a sister spirit several times she was an
swered. They had short conversation in
which the spirit told her that the spirit of
Charles Jules Guiteau had Just arrived
and they were making a great fuss over

excitement among his old friends and
cranks, who rushed up to welcome HIM as
soon as he fell
THROUGH THE TRAP.
