WinSted. Conn. Jan, 1.-The wonderful
story of the finding of the body of Mrs
Fidelia Brewer Through the agency of
| clairvoyant in Chicago, one THOUSAND
miles away. after scores of villagers had
searched for it in vain for three months
has sent superstitious thrill through tn,
| people here
The villagers living in a remote local
! ity, hedged in by steep mountains are in.
clined to see things from a gloomy stand
point during these bleak Winter days
They are awestruck by the apparent mir
| acle, and they spttnd their days in dis
cussing it. From neighboring places
throngs drive in to talk over the case and
learn the facts from those who have
them at first hand.
All the statements made by Julius
Brewer of the part played by the Chi
cago clairvoyant in the finding of the
body seem to be true.
Mrs. Sarah Smith, the postmistress at
South Sandisfeld, Mass, where the
Brewers live, has a son William W.
Smith. living at No. COS Washington Boul-
evard Chicago, who was greatly inter
ested in the newspaper articles telling of
the mysterious disappearance of the aged
woman.
Mrs. Brewer was widow, seventy
years old. With her lived two sons, Bur
ton and Julius. middle-aged men The
harmony in the family seemed to be dis
turbed by the presence of Miss kellogg,
the housekeeper, who. although seventy
years old, dresses like young girl, and,
it is said intended to marry Julius if she
couldn't any rate, his mother Thought
so, and grieved.
After a family quarrel of great vio-
lence Mrs. Brewer vanished. The matter
was not mentioned for several days. A
visitor who came to the house raised the
alarm. The story told by 1.-THE men was
that their mother must have wandered
off in the night, wearing nothing but a
night dress. They said they supposed she
had persisted in the swamp.
For weeks the country folk searched
the swamps and mountains, helped by
keen-scented hounds. trying to discover
the clew to a tragedy or a crime. They
reversed every foot of land within ra-
dius of miles. but found nothing. Grad
ually they forgot the matter.
Young Smith, of Chicago, is a great be-
lever in Spirittualism and second sight.
He never takes an important step in life
without consulting some mystic seer in
whom he has faith. He knew the scene
of the mystery
There is q man here who can find the
body" he wrote to his mother. the post
mistress. He is infallible. His name is

have tested his work
"Send me a photograph of Mrs. Brew
er and one Of her handkerchiefs. Write
me, too. her full name and age and all
the facts you can learn about her going
away"
The postmistress secured the articles
and sent them to her son. The neighbors
were told that the ervices of a great
Western clairvoyant had been enlisted,
but they paid very little attention 10 the
news, because innumerable fortune tellers
and mediums had tried to solve the mat
ter, but had done nothing beyond collect
ing their fees. Some Of them said that
Mrs. Brewer was alive and well in dis
tant state. others that she had gone on
a long journey.
A letter came from Chicago last Thurs
day 1t was from Smith to his mother
and told an odd story of his experience
with the clarvoyant.
The first daysI called on DR.. Zanzan,'

well and so our Investigations were post

sure that he could find Mrs. Brewer dead
or alive, as he had often located missing
people.
