THE KEELY MOTOR.
Discoveries Give the Belief That 1t is q
Fake


Philadelphia, Jan. 19-The Press to-
day publishes an article covering, with
Illustrations, more thar page in space,
giving the details of an investigation
| made by that paper of the dismantled
| workshop of the late John w. Kee1y,
which investigation, the Press contends,
clearly proves that the mysterious
Keely motor was a delusion and decep-
ton, and that it's alleged mysterious
forces were the result Of trickery. In
the investigation, which has been in
progress more than a week, the flooring
| of the workshop was taken up and q
brick partition wall was removed. The
Press was assisted in the work by Prof.
| Carl Herring, a consulting engineer of
| experience; Prof. Arthur w. Good
Speed, assistant professor Of physics of
the University of Pennsylvania; Prof
Lighter Wilmer, professor of expert
mental psychology at the University of
Pennsylvania, and DR.. M. G. Miller,
who has had special training in explor-
alton and research in the way of mound
digging, and, accordingly, superlntend-
ed all the digging operations. Clarence
NNUUIG, SUI VI NILS. IhoOAC,
was an interested spectator.
The statements in the article, which
are substantiated by signed statements
of the persons named, are to the effect
that tubing was found concealed in the
brick work and under the floor of the
laboratory. This, 1t Is claimed, laid
bare the possibilities of deception, as
the tubing Is Of the kind calculated to
stand high pressure and could have
been used in connection with the great
steel sphere found last week in the lab
oratory which the experts intimate was
used as a reservoir for compressed air
or compressed gases, and the tubing
could thus form an agency for the
forces that moved the motor in the ex-
hibition room.
The contention of Mr.. Kelly and his
friends for many years had been that
no tubing Of any kind was needed to
work the machines. The views of Mr..
Herring and Prof Goodspeed are that
the presence Of the tubing and the
sphere indicates the use of normal
forces and possible deception on the
part Of Kelly. In this view Clarence
Moore concurs, and Prof Wilmer feels
that the possibility of trickery confirms
the diagnosis that most Psychologists
make as to the delusive character of
the Kelly mystery.
