a table with hands Joined. Previous to
sitting down l told Maggie In a whisper
that ] did not believe In the spiritualistic
stuff but that i would not give express
sion to that to the others present nor
reveal any of her secrets. AS a conse-
quence she placed me by her side at the
table, where she could release her hand
from mine whenever she chose. which no
one would perceive, as the room was dark
ened; and she did take her hand from
mine at times when the customary rap
pings with questions and answers were
going on. Subsequently 1 was at many
other seances in different places with both
Maggie and Kate, and they, knowing my
disbelief, never asked me to communicate
with spirits, being conscious at the same
time that I would keep my promise not to
betray them as long as they lived. All the
sisters being now dead, / am free TO state
The above facts.
Although they made no pubic revela-
ton Of the deception they had been led
into and practlced fearing no doubt,
an cutlery OF condemnation against them
while living l am sure their minds were
oppressed by what they had done For
many OF tie later years OF their lives
Maggie ard Kate sought mental relief
and oblivion by spells of hard drinking
and intoyication. Naturally they were
net bad girls, but were good-natured and
kind. They were the victims OF the cir
cumstauces by which they were surround
cd and from which they were unable TO
escape. Had they been placed from child
hood and IN eurly womanhood under good
moral influence and favorable circum-
stances, there is reason to believe their
lives would have been marked by truth
fulness, mcdesty and propriety.
