We were TO expose a man who was
Temporarily named Morse. His wife
materialized spirits through the power
OF deceased Indian princess, who in

vision must have been considerably

abe would have been able 10 see through
such diaphanous fraud as Mrs Morse,
and would have refrained from having
anything 10 do weh her. When Mrs.
Morse passed into a trance she was con-
trolLed socompletely by Bright Eyes that
she could speak nothing but pure Choc-
taw. Thus the ordinary auditor at one
of her sesnces learned little or nothing
about the eternal mysteries.
