family, living near here, were shot to
death yesterday. Bodies of three mem
bers Of the family, one of the most
prominent in this section of South

Dies Talking With Spirits, but
Fails to Speak From Coffin
Ozone Park Woman Who Promised to Send Mes
sage a: Her Funeral Is Buried While
Surgeons Seek Poison

DR.. Howard W. Neal, county medi-
cal examiner in Queens, performed an
autopsy yesterday on the body of Mrs.
Catherine Bruhn, Of Ozone Park, who
died Wednesday in coma, in which
she is said to have conversed with the
spirits of relatives who are dead, and
found that her death was duo to
chronic neuritis.
AS the autopsy was performed be-
cause of the suspicion which neighbor
voiced to the police that Mrs. Bruhn
had been poisoned, her stomach was
sent to chemist to be analyzed. Flu
neral services were held for her yes
terday afternoon in her home, 9737
105th Street, Ozone Park, and the
house was thronged with the curious,
some of whom firmly believed that the
spirit Of Mrs. Bruhn might have some
thing to say on this solemn occasion.
1t did not, however, although Mrs.
Carl Voss, neighbor, averred that
only few hours before her death Mrs.
Bruhn had told her that the transition
from life in Ozone Park to life beyond
human conception would not be SO
severe as to interfere with her remark
able powers, and she would start send
ing messages to her friends as soon as
she felt at ease in her new environ
ment.
Mrs. voss was the neighbor who
asked to have the autopsy performed.
She said last night that she had done
so because of the suddenness of her
friends death and because some of
when she wanted news of this world,
or the next, had told Mrs. Voss to
her face that if anything happened
to Mrs. Bruhn they would hold Mrs.
Voss responsible because of the en-
couragement she had given her friend.
Mrs. Bruhn's telepathic gift was a

most unusual one, Mrs. Voss said, as
IT enabled her to talk to the living
regardless of space and to the dead as
we'll. If the notion struck Mrs. Bruhn.
when the power possessed her, she
could have chat with Bismarck and
then, breaking that connection and
Gaining up in another plane, could ring
up Count Hohenzollera. So far as her
trends knew. however, she Fad never
oone this, but had confined ter tele-
pathlc conversations to those who were
or had been in her circle of acquaint-
ances on earth. The messages she re-
celved were transcribed byN her twelve
year-old daughter, Irma.
Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Bruhn
called on Mrs. Voss and said that she
felt trance coming on and would
stay at Mrs. Bruins house until she
had talked with some of her family
who were dead.
Death makes no difference" she
said. "and when am dead shall COM
municate with my friends as do now."
A few minutes later she slipped into
Inconsistencies. From her somewhat
incohcrent mutterings Mrs. voss gath
cred that she was in communication
with her parents and with her two
brothers, all Of whom are dead, one
of the brothers, German soldier, hav-
ing died in a French prison camp.
The mutterings ceased and Mrs. Voss
sought to revive her friend, as she had
done before. Her efforts were unsuc-
cessful, and with tremor of fear Mrs.
Voss recollected that of late the trance
in which. Mrs. Bruhn talked with the
dead had been increasingly difficult to
shake off and that on the last occasion,
almost year ago, Mrs. Bruhn had not
recovered her human faculties for
three weeks.
time her friend had travelled beyond
her reach Mrs. Voss called an ambu-
lance and Mrs. Bruhn was taken to ST..
Mary's Hospital. SIZE died there a few
hours later without recovering con-
sciouSncas.

DUBLIN, Jan. 16.-The whole section
of north Dublin was cordoned by SOL
diers and police last evening and to-
