IS sPIRITUALISM TRUE 2
A WeII-knOwn WashinRtOnian Gives
His Experiences.

Editor The Washington Herald;
Replying to this question. In late is
sue Of The Herald, I viii give my own
experience in the long ago. A few friends
met one evening in 1852. and mention was
made of recent spiritualistic develop
ment. As some one suggested, we all
placed our hands on a small stand, and
went on talking. After a while the Ia
bic lifted and we accused each. other of
doing IT, Then we tried II again. and
the table lifted, sure enough; so we asked
If spirits were present and desired to
converse with US.
We had TO invent ways 10 communicate,
finally calling the alphabet, and when
the table tipped or raped. we would
put that letter down. The first message
vas from a deceased lady 10 her niece,
who was present. We took down the let
tiers designated. and when the table would
tip no more. the letters made this sen
tence: Heaven is a home only for the
pure IN heart. This occurred in Ore
gon, when Portland was a mere village.
An important feature OF all seanees held
was that l seemed 10 be the ruling force,
and all messages came to me when
was present For a while there was
intense interest felt and seances were
held all the winter. so some persons put
their faith In Spiritualism, though the
revelations were not always reliable. A
friend had s5e.o00. gold coin, and asked
the spirits how TO invest it. The result
was that he lost every dollar.
After few weeks of the seance busi-
ness. / told my young wife we didn't
need any more spiritualism in OURS.
and she agreed with me. We never at
tended another seance. There ia Ger
tainly something IN teleDathy. spiritisnr.
or whatever can be studied of human
nature. but the supreme faculty neees-
sary for human progress and success
seems to me to be common sense
AS Hamlet says. There are more things
in heaven and earth. Horatio. than are
dreamt of in your philosophy.

Galveston Reporters Make Afhdavit
About Negroes Statement.
Special 70 The Washington Herald.
Galveston. Tex, March III r. Mont
gomery and James d. McIlhenny, report
ers on the Galveston News, made affidavit
tonight to the fact that they talked four
times with a negro pgrporting TO be D. c.
Gray. of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, who
made to them the alleged confession that
the negro soldiers of Company B. Twen-
ty-fifth Infantry, did the shooting at
Brownsville.
They swear that the sensational confess
sion, as published In the Galveston News
on Sunday last, was substantially what
the negro told them. and that they firmly
believe he was telling the truth. They
also swear that the negro has since dis
appeared from the haunts where they
found him
The sentiment here is that the story
bears Internal evidence OF being abso-
uteiy true IN the main. and there is much
Indignation over the hurried action OF
Lieut.. Chamberlain coming here remain
ing only few hours, and then with great
eock-sureness branding the story fake.
II Is admitted that the News hlundered
seriously in not having the negro arrest
ed but the paper is making desperate eff
forts TO find him. being convinced that
he was in Company al the time. and
gave the name Of d. C. Gray, another
negro. for some reason of his own.
1t is believed here that the negro so
badly wanted would never be allowed to
tell his story in court, If certain poll
ticians could prevent It, and that he is
probably hundreds OF miles from Calves
ton by this time
The readiness of the army officers to
diseredit any testimony whatever tending
to show the negroes guilty OF the shoot
ing is the subject of much bitter. comment

Within a few hours after a special re-
ward OF SIS had been offered by Maj Syl-
vester for the arrest and conviction Of the
negro who assaulted and robbed Miss
Martha Zeek, OF 1870 Seventh street
northwest. and her companion, Mrs. Mar
tina Kuhnel. Of SIS Massachusetts, avenue
northeast. while IN the woods near Rock
Greek, last Sunday, Edward Warren, col
ored. aged thirty-fve years, was arrested
by Officers AicLucas and Blake. Of the

Working on the information which they
had gathered during the search which
they, along with the other members OF
their precinct, had been engaged in for
several days. the officers visited the mans
home al Crow Hill, Montgomery County,
nd. and placed him under arrest. Noting
the similarity with the description given
them by the two young women, they
brought him 10 the station-house, where
he was afterward identified.
Miss keek was called TO the station,
and. after having a look at the negro.
was sure that he was the man. but stated
that she would rather take another look
at him to-day Henry Ward, who. along
with another man. chased the negro. i'm

titled the man as being the right person.
If the other woman Identifies the man
this morning, the case viii be completed,
and Will probably be taken before the
