Mrs. Murray is listed in the direc-

is said to be a clerk in the Treas

was speechless. but although weak.
had full use of her limbs. When
revived an hour later by DR.. Sam

Mrs. Murray was then seized with
a violent spell of trembling, actu-
ated, according to physicians. by no
visible physical cause. Later she
wrote:
"A spirit would like to write. I
am a man who lived on earth and
1 am sent by God to control this
woman you see. No one believes the
truth that we have spoken through
her lips. Many voices come from
spiritland. The spirits say that they
have done this to me to prove that

Hospital physicians are at a loss
to explain Mrs. Murray-s condition.
According to DIR. Slabotsky, her
pulse and temperature are normas

She regained her speech for one
instant last night and said. Now
