within the past few days has been In

staying at the Langham. in New York.
The high social standing OF the writ

caused them to be widely discussed.
william Hannegan, employed by the
LAmberts as an attendant for their
seven-year-oId son. Is the subject he
IL said TO have impaired TO the boy
many OF his strange powers, and the
mother Il convinced the child. who,
she says, has been a clairvoyant from
birth. is In communication with mystic
influences Of the world beyond.
Hannegan comes OF q respectable
family, but has had many hard knocks
IN the school OF adversely. Last April
he was graduated from the st. John
Hospital Training School For Nurses
In sc. Louis and was engaged as an at
tendant for the junior Lambert, then
far from being strong. These are some
OF the things that Mrs. Lambert says
Hannegan has accomplished:
Tables and chairs follow him about
the room as II bewitched.
without the slightest education In
music, he is endowed with supernat-
ural powers over the piano keys, being
able TO play the scores Of grand operas
he has never heard.
His astral body wanders about the
house unlocking doors.
Lost articles are located by him with
accuracy. Mr.. Lambert while In Paris
acquired a gold Napoleon about the
size OF q double eagle. He greatly ad-
mired the old coin and carried II as a
pocket piece. He declares that Han
negan had an uncanny facility I'm find
ing the coin when it was lost or inten-
tiOnally hidden. On one occasion.
when Mr.. Lambert was sure that he
had lost the coin for good, Hannegan
told him he would surely find II In the
lining Of his pocket, and his direction
resulted In the recovery OF the yellow
disk.
Roses Of a species unknown to the
spectators are materialized by him as
gifts from friends In the world Of
spirits.
On one occasion he spirited a tennis
ball from a bath house into the pocket
OF Lambert junior through a pad
locked door.
Another time he summoned the
spirit Of Mrs. r. III. Davis, a friend of
the Lamberts, and when the lights
were turned up at the end Of the
seance roses were found strewn on the
table. A florist who examined them
said their like could not be found In
any earthly fora.
Warnings are uttered as IL given by
those from q distant shore.
Balls are suspended in the air.
Describing the astral body incident,
Mrs. Lambert says:
flanagan had retired early one
night, sleeping in the same room with
my son. I was startled by the turn
ing Of a key in the door Of the room
In which they were sleeping. l tried
the door and found IL unlocked. and as
/ went I'm and turned on the light
saw Mr.. Hannegan's astral body float
Ing over his bed. He was sleeping
calmly"
Mrs. Lambert claims that her son
has increased I'm strength OF mind and
body under Hannegan's care.
Hannegan knows nothing OF psychic
phenomena from any scientific point
of view, and he has not been permitted
10 make any scientific study. What
he does seems to be the result OF some
incomprehensIble force. He does not
care. Mrs. Lambert writes. for the
visitatiOns OF the spirits. which seem
TO puzzle and almost terrify him, and
ne seldom can be induced TO try his
power before strangers.
