A San Jose Girl Stays There
Twenty Minutes.
She Then Returns and Relates The Story
Of What She Saw.
Giving the Names Of Persons Of Whom She
Never Heard and Who Died LOag Before She
Vas BOrn-A Message 10 Her Father.
Special TO THE MORNING CALI.

SAN JOSE, July 3l.-A story of a souls
experience with the hereafter, and its sub
sequent return to the body, is causing a great
deal of interest here. Daisy Williams. the
thiTteen-year-old daughter of Alfred Z.
Williams, living at the corner of First and
Martha streets, has been sick for the last
three months with quick consumption. SUI
perinduced by an attack of the measles.
The girl died this morning. The parents
state that four weeks ago to-day their
daughter to all appearances died After Pc
Rod oftwenty minutes, during which timelno
sign Of life was manifested, the girl suddenly
revived. and said to her little sister: "Maude.
1 have come back to stay awhile with you"
The girl then told that she had been in
heaven, and said that on her arrival her
little sister, who had died nine months be-
fore, flew to her and took her by the
hand and introduced her to Jesus. Her de-
scription Of heaven was most vivid. She re-
lated that she saw host of winged angels
flying In very direction with the swiftness
Of light. She told whom she had seen in
heaven, and gave the names of many rela-
tIves of the family that died before she was
born. and also the names of persons whom
the family say she could not have known
and never heard of. She stated that Jesus had
led her by the hand and showed her view
Of hell. She saw many persons there, but
recognized only one. a Mrs. Armour, who
died here some time ago. She said that
Jesus told her that she must, on her return
to earth, tell her family what she had seen,
and if they did not believe the statement
that he would come himself or send her
little sister to convince them. The girl says
she saw God also. When describing their
appearance to her mother, she said: "Why,
mamma, they are just like men," She said
she had no conception what they looked
like before. She told her family that Jesus
message to them was that they would be
saved If they would be good. She told her
father that Jesus had instructed her to say
to him that he must stop swearing and be
saved. During the time Of her purported
transition and death to-day the girl repeated
her story TO several without the slightest
deviation. The family at first did not be-
lieye it, supposing it was the result Of wild
delirium, but they now are positive that the
girl was never delicious during her sickness,
and that her story was correct Upon the
representation of what she said many Of
those living in the immediate neighborhood
are firmly convinced also of the truth of the
experience as narrated.
