CAUSES
SPIRITS TO PERFORM
Burngame Holds Seance in Courtroom at Trial Of Me
diun-Does All "Stunts" Except Receiving
and Translating Messages.

Burlingame, the marvellous, Inystify-
ing, metaphysical medium, gave his IN
comparable exposition Of spiritualism
without the aid of a spirit before Judge
Tullowny in the Police Court this morn
ing, in the trial of Pierre L. o. A Keel
er and Albert G. Hall, for conspiracy to
defraud.
With the apparatus obtained in the
raid on Prof. Keeler's studio a week
ago, a cabinet" consisting Of a series
Of overlapping curtains, was rigged up
between the prisoners cage and the
1ge's bench. Seated in this with two
assistants. Detective Burlingame of the
Capital police called spirit messages to
fly over the tops of the cUrtaias. played
a guitar, mad a tambcu[ne, and all
those things that astonish and mysdfy
hundreds of people who pay good mcney
for communications from the spirit
world. And after doing AL this Bur-
u1game, whose red business is Of
ficiaily termed that Of prevention of
crime, told the court that he had seen
these things and much more at Prof.
Keeler's demonstrations
The Police Court room was crowded
when the trial Of the spiritualist me-
dunn was called after all the regular
prisoners had been disposed Of Former
Representative Charles Schirm, of Bal
timore. and Attorney Campbell Caring
ton appeared as counsel for the defense.

who has spent most Of his life in hunt

colonel were IN almost constant con
versation during the trip through the
Red sea.
For a man who has never been in
Africa, Colonel Roosevelt knows more
about the country than any man I ever
saw" said Selous. 1T is hard to imag-
inc a more enthusiastic sportsman, and
Il will be a delight to hunt with such
a man"
The trip through the Red sea was
without special incident, though the his
toric associations greatly interested Mr..
Roosevelt.
A spirit OF the utmost good fellowship
prevails among the passengers. and Mr.
Roosevelt is simply "one of the boys. y
as much so as he ever was in his ranch
days.

ness called. He told the story of his
two visits to the Keeler studio, March
81 and April Z. During the course of his
testimony, BurlinEame showed exactly
what was done by use Of the apparatus
at hand.
The corner Of the court room where
the cabinet was rigged did not very
mucn resemble the Oriental appearance
of the average mediums place of busi-
ness. The steel bars Of the prisoner S
cage formed the background, rather
than the soft tapestry hangingS Of the
keeler home on FairmOsrnS street north
west. In response to questions, Bur
lingame told Of the receipt of the spirit
messages which could not be read, add
Ing that he was probably not intel
lectual enough to understand them
Attorney Darlington gave an inkling
of GHat the defense would be when he
tried 70 get Burlingame TO tell him OF
TO give him a definition of the word me-
dunn. The court interfered with this
line of questioning. The defendant
counsel then asked the witness if he be-
heved in spiritualism, and on receiving
a negative answer, stated that the
United States Government and the gov
eminent of the District of Columbia
must believe in sipirtualiSm because
laws had been enacted by Congress and
re fulatiOns compiled BY the District
Commissioners licensing mediums.
Counsel then brought out the fact that
keeier has q license as a medium, for
which he paid 50.
Detective BUrlingame had not finished
has testimony at noon and il is feared
that the hearing of the case win extend
over two or three days, as there are a
number Of witnesses TO be examined on
both sides.

The fear that Americans and other
