as he motioned with his hand toward
his psychic" She was born in New
York state. and her mother died when
she was three years old. You might say
she is not educated. although she can
make out a bill of fare and knows enough
to get along in the world She has been
cook and good one, too. But wo k
ing with me she is able to ass me in
conYerslng with the spirits. I can GO
some things without her, and she can
also. do some things without me- but to-
gether we are able to work
I'VE have not been able TO talk much
with Col. 1ngersoll as yet, owing to his
being very weak, but I expect in few
days to hear from him again. I think
by the time he reaches the fifteenth circle
he will have mitch to say to his friends
through us.
Il suppose You do not know that the
spirits eat, said the Doctor The report
er expressed some surprise at the state
ment, and evidently looked so incredulous
that the doctor stepped from the room
and returned with a couple of doughnuts
in his hand.
These were placed in a closed Jar last
ey ening, said the doctor. ''and You can
see that they have been eaten some. y
There were marks on the doughnuts as
though mice had been munchiug a them,
but that this had been possible was de-
MED by the doctor.
yes, indeed, the spirits eat said Miss
Julia, land they are partial to cheese.
! OF course they do not eat as much as a
! living person, but frequently they take
pieces out of chunk of cheese which we
leave on the table with bowl over it,
Did Col. Ingersoil say anything about
there being a hell?" queried the reporter.
He did not talk much" replied DR..
] Walker, but he tod us there was here,
after, but no hell"
DO YOU go into a trance when talking
with the spirits? was the question put to
Miss Julia.
The doctor answered for his psychic
/ by saying that she did not have to enter
| the trance state in conversing with spirits
and Miss Julia corroborated this. 81 had
a most remarkable dream or vision about
six months ago" said Miss Julia 81 Wis
! tied the other world and saw the most
j ltrancing sights and heard the most
! beautiful music. There were beds and
! banks of flowers and people lying easy
! like on them. Over one great sirchway
was a white eagle with outspread wings.
/ who as the good spirits passed cried out
! 'Welcomer but when the evil p'rits
passed dropped his head and wings.
! saw another archway with two men with
! weapons in their hands and behind them
snakes and smoke and fire.
The most wonderful thing about Miss
/ Julia when she converses with the spir-
it's, said the doctor, lis that although
/ she is not well educated, the most beauti-
| full language flows from her lips for half
an hour at time We also receive let
/ tiers from many of the prominent business
men, doctors and lawyers who have long
/ ago departed this life. Emma Abbott,
! the singer, has written us many letters
and lately she has taught me a song. At
some other time l shall be pleased to al
! low you to examine the letters from Miss
! Abbott. but [ have not the time now"
The doctor was unable to say just when
he would hear from Col Ingersoll again,
but thought a message would be received
in time to be published in the G o b e
| next Sunday.
There are spirits about us every
where, said the doctor. why, last even
ing at my supper table over 5000 splits
were present. You may not believe this,
but 1t is a fact, as Miss Julia can testify
to-"
To this statement Miss Julia acquiesced
by nodding her head.
There is more in this business than
you ever imagined people will believe"
sad the doctor, land if you will call some
evening when we are having meeting
| you will see and hear some wonderful
things"
