John Armstrong chaloner Gets Al
thentIo Information From De-
parted Friend.

Washington.-John Armstrong Cha
loner. a member OF the Chaloner
family Of New York, who is legally
insane In that state, although legally
sane in Virginia, says he has received
a message from hell through his de-
ceased friend. Thomas jefferson Mil
Ter. Chaloner. who lives at Merry
Mills, Va, came to Alexandria to get
the message from Miller.
SChaloner says Miller informed him
that Hell is more an affair of the in
tellect, will power and aspiration than
merely combustion" and that the tenn
perature is of the nature of our tenn
sperate zone. Thus Chaloner quotes
Mher:
In hell. morality is as enthusiastic
ally and scientifically taught as mathe-
matics and physics at any university.
Justice rules, but 1t is untempered by
mercy"
Chaloher says Miller declared that
on arriving in hell he found himself
to have been Marshal Ney in life. He
had assumed his stature and features,
and had conversed with Napoleon
Bonaparte. who later appeared before
him in the costume OF Michael An
gelo. Again Chaloner quotes Miller:
ION reaching here. the first sensa-
tion experienced was that of awaken
ing after sound and peaceful sleep.
When opened my eyes what did I
beholdf Napoleon Bonaparte sitting
upon a throne the like of which never
before was seen"
In the opinion of Miller. according
to the message OF Chaloner. Satan is
