SPIRITS OF DIFFERENT BRANDS
when did you cease to be Spiritual
ist?"
when I severed my connection with
Miss Holmes"
what do you mean by Spiritualism? p
Il suppose-well, they believe in the
spirits of deceased friends coming back
and communicating"
whats the difference between your
belief as TO spirits then and now?'
Il believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
now?"
do you believe the spirits of the de-
parted return now?"
Il don't believe the spirits of departed
friends return. Evil spirits come back.
THE difference is that you have evil
and not good spirits?"
Yes. they are only presentations that
old Mickey sends"
Didn't you at the house on Girard
street, when George Van Auken and
your husband were present, tell about
your having a vision when the Lord APP
peared to you in vision as strawber-
ry shortcake?"
mo, sir; II was Just this way: 1t was
after the meetings at Peniel hall, and
after three days waiting was awakened
with a vision and heard a voice saying:
BY faith it is yours; take it As was
then seeking the witness of the spirit
that / was saved. / accepted the vision
to mean that by faith 1 was saved"
Didn't you say also that the Lord ap-
peared to you as a strawberry short
cake?"
mo, sir: didn't"
Don't you believe it was good spirit
that came to you then?"
II believe it was the Holy Spirit"
SEN HIDDEN IN PETTICOATS.
Some interrogations were put regard
ing the witness statement relative to
the selection of disciples, and at the re-
quest of counsel, Mrs. Van Auken gave
some additional particulars. George
Beardsley was sent for to come TO the
house and be initiated.
Didn't you make him wash himself
before being introduced? ??
Il don't remember that, but know
Miss Holmes made him wash his feet.
Didn't you carry out white petit
coat to him?'
mo, didn't. but someone gave him
one. She said we must all be in white,
and as there weren't enough white
things to go round we put skirts on
some"
Didn't you protest against his COM
ing in without it?"
"Well, now, / guess he didn't put it
on outside the house"
But inside the room where the me-
diums were?'
Yes, he put it on before going in:
we had to be awful clean to go in there.
Didn't you often send for Miss
Holmes when she was attending on her
sister. to come in and stop the noise that
was being made"
II probably did. for 1 remember one
time when the devil came in and took
possession of Miss Lundgren and she
got up and screamed out"
AND didn't Miss Holmes then come
in and say that her sister was dying.
and that she couldn't stand the noise?'
Il guess she did for she tried to pound
the devil out of some of them"
The several occasions when the devil
pounding opera tion" was performed and
how Miss Lundgren and Miss Holmes
acted when under control was again
gone into and then the witness was ex-
amined regarding the lectures giveE by
Miss Holmes upon the glaring and fam
tastic pictures said to represent spirit
conditions. She stated that many peo-
