gone and the one he had in his hand
fitted the stem. That happened.
There may be an explanation-of
course there is. But don't know
what it is"
A sensational attempt to expose
Mott was made by q Mr. Harding, a
banker of Monmouth, Ill.,. and two men
named Chaffe and Wells. Harding's
child had died. and Mrs. Harding had
gone to Memphis several times to
see the little one. 1t is said the pro-
duction was not exactly satisfactory.
and Harding then came with his
friends to investigate. Wells asked
to see his dead brother The pur-
ported shade of the departed came.
Harding had a small rubber ball,
filed with liquid dye. He squeezed
it, thoroughly spattering the ghost.
Mott came out dripping with the dye,
very angry. Harding and his friends
left, satisfied Motifs explanation. as
related by those who heard it, was
that the apparition being developed
from himself, whatever happened to
it would be transferred to Mott. The
local papers fought out the matter,
some claiming Mott had been unmask'
ed; others that his explanation was
convincing to a candid mind. A skep
tic said:
The funny part of it was that when
the incident spread over the country
it strengthened Mott"
