A PsYCHICAL MARVEL.
The Mysterious Loss and Recovery of a
Bracelet


take the liberty of outlining an in
cident which came under my own OBJ
servation, and can be attested by others,
that Will no doubt attract the attention
OF those who are interested investigators
Of psychlcal phenomena. Mrs. Julia
NJ. Carpenter, OF Boston, we'll known
and reliable medium with whom you
are personally acquainted, IS now stop
ping at my home in this city, her hus-
band, Prot. A. L. Carpenter, being at
present engaged IN giving experiments
IN hypnotsm at Willard Hall. She ar
rived here on the morning of December
%, 1889. The next evening she accom-
panied Us on a visit to friend. Upon
returning home she proceeded to her
home feeling quite sick. Prof. C..
assisted her n removing her tight-htting
jacket when 4 bracelet was heard to be
unclapsed, and apparently it dropped
TO the floor. Upon STOPPING to pick it
up 10 was not TO be seen anywhere.
Search was made for 10 before they re-
tired. The search was renewed the
next morning but was unsuccessful.
Mrs. b. was informed of the mysterious
disappearance and joined in the search, q,
looking even behind the pictures upon
the walls, and everywhere where it
could have possibly fallen. Verdict,
"not found" Mrs. c. passed through
a very severe illness, having the grippe
with pneumonia attached. Upon con-
valesclng, Mrs. c. was entranced by
Lillian, who Uniformed US, upon ques-
tionIng her as 70 the missing bracelet,
that it was safe, and had we one nun
dred eyes we could not find 1t. No ex-
planatIon could or would she advance
as to the disappearance.
On Thursday evening, February 6,
1890, Mrs. c. accompanied us on an
evening call upon Mr.. and Mrs. c. C..
Sailer, of West Washington. Mr..
Sailer is the superintendent of the w.
& G.. r. X. Co. Mrs. Emery, of New
York, was visiting with her parents and
expected to return to her home the
next day. After spending some time
IN conversation, Mrs. T.. said she would
like TO see Mrs. c. under "influence," +"
hoping to receive something therefrom.
In few minutes LILLIAN" came and
began to carry on a conversation with
all Of us through the organism of Mrs.
c. Observing the bracelets upon the
wrists of Mrs. T.. she asked for them to
hold IN her hands. Upon the stand
were two pots containing some fragrant
hyacinths. Lillian" gave a beautiful
poem, and Mrs. ). remarked that she
wished Lillian would bring the missing
bracelet so we could all sec it, or drop
il from the ceiling. At this Mrs.
c. became very strongly influenced,
tossing from side to side IN her
chair, rubbing her hands together
with Mrs. e. 3 bracelets IN them. Soon
Mrs. G. reached out and put Mrs. Z. S
bracelets in the hands of Mrs. s, and
gave TO Hrs. b. the missing ornament.
The lost article had been restored dur
ing this commotlon, having been
brought n distance of more than two
miles from my house where last seen,
December 20, 1889. there being n lapse
OF SIX weeks between disappearance
and temperance. There was no con-
dition OF darkness in this case, for the
lights were burning in the parlor and
hall. We did not see the bracelet come,
but 70 came "all the same," and Mrs.
G. did not have itin her possession from
December %, 1889, TO February 8, 1890.
These experiences are not unusual in
the life work of Mrs. c., as a medium,
and many cases, similar IN kind, have
been related by her and others who
were witnesses thereto. How are these
things dOne2 What explanation can he
given that viii make clear the mofu'
opsrandi7 TINS incident can Be attested
10 by fve witnesses.
