GHOST ADMITS DEED

Mllwaukee.-E. A. Marth created a
sensation when he appeared at a po-
lice station and said his wife, haunted
by the ghost Of man who said he
had committed n murder, had found
the body of the vlctlm-a woman-in
the basement Of their house.
Mrs. Marth is q splrltuallst medi-

had been visited nightly by the spirit

ened her SO often by putting invisible
hands on her throat that she deter

Esprit" Asks Her to Dig.
She did so and was directed to dig
at certain spot In the cellar.
Marth told the police he made the
excavation under her direction while
she was In trance and had discov-
cred box. He asked that the police
remove the body Of what he insisted
was a murdered woman.
The police, scofIing, went to the
house. They found the excavation and
the box. They opened the box and
discovered It to contain bones and
qulckllme.
The spiritual phase of the matter
they are inclined not to discuss. But
they believe the evidence of crime
has been laid bare by the medium
and they are exerting efforts to reach
a solution Of 1t.
1T was an earth-bound spirit"
Marth told the police, that could not
rest until 1t was relieved"
The property In Walnut street was
bought by the Spiritualist church OF
Milwaukee about seven weeks ago.
Marth and his family moved in short
ly after. Immediately, he says, they
were attacked every night by the
hands Of the spirit, which choked
them.
After several unsuccessful seances
to learn the meaning Of the visits, an
other medium was called In to assist
In getting the message.
"Body Of Woman Victim"
"The spirit was that Of doctor
who died several years ago." Marth
said. "But the body In the basement

Marth said he ripped up the base
