In the coffin week without food was ex-
posed by him at st. Louis yesterday.
The coffin was padded SO as to make It
a comfortable resting place and was I'M
usually large. At the head of the grave
a seventeen tube was placed so that the
spectators could see the face of the sup
posedly tranced man. AT the bottom of this
tube was plate of glass which from above
appeared to be part of the lid of the coffin
and to fit closely against the bottom of the
tube. but which, in reality, Hausman says
was held In a wire loop strung across the
poX inclosing the coffin, and hung half an
inch from the bottom OF the tube, so as to
allow the imprisoned man abundance of

out of the loop at will
At night Housman says food and drink
would be brought to him when no outsider
could see and lowered to him through the
tube. With abundance of air and plenty to

was uncomfortable and required endurance.
