Faidley explained that his

rated by such distance from the
material body that the two never
rcgained contact, the material body
being dead. The stupor OF those
who go into trance he explained.
| Is merely the departure from the
material to the spiritual and the
loss Of control over the mind 10y

Faidley says all mortals are ca
pable to a certain extent OF con-
vcrsation with the departed. but
that those who meet with greatest
success are specially endowed with
spiritualistic powers.
Most conversations are in the
audible form, according to Faidley.

has been something of an cnthus-
last over what he claims Is the alb
solute existence Of the phenomena.
| He has written several articles for
publication In which he maintains
that since its Holy inception the
world has been Inhabited by spirits.
These, he says, are both evil and
good. and convey the promptings OF
the devil and OF God. So strong is
his belief in spirits, says Faidley,
that he will not trust himself FAR
from home in the power of the
spirits.
Faidley's home is in Burr oak.

| Owasso. In both places he has
talked with spirits but the spirits
hel encounters at Owasso are en-
| tirely strange to those he finds at
Burr Oak. he said.

to submit to hypnotism for GER
tain number OF hours az an adver-

performance that night the young
man, we'll known. submitted.
The young man was completely
hvpnotized-that is. his control
over his mind and body was rem
dered nil and his spiritual self was
sent into the spiritual world. under
control of the hypnotist. The ap-

Faidley, that this hypnotist went

hundreds, who manifested their un-

the youth was dead,
"All attempts OF the hynotist

power. The spirit of the young
man had only wandered too far
away-out OF control OF the hyp-

Young man was pronounced dead
and ne laid in state for some time
before burial.
after failure of tho hypnotist he
was arrested by the sheriff or the
small town and placed Tn jail. But
at his first opportunity he hypno-
