from the location of the haunted house
in Amherst. Novo Scotia.
The house was occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Teed, with their minor children,
two sisters Of Mrs. Teed, and a brother
Of Teed. The Amherst ghost had a
very violent temperament and its dis
turbances seemed to center around one
Of the sisters-in-law, Ester Cox. Every
night her body would swell up, we are
told, until it appeared ready TO burst
Sometimes the ghost would puncture
her with pins. Terrific reports would
shake the room in which she slept
Bed clothes would be torn from the
bed and fly around the room. Frequent
ly the pillow would be snatched from
under her head and be hurled across
the room. These things continued
from day to day and were seen by
many persons"
DIR. Carrittee, the only physician
saw bucket of cold water become
agitated and, to all appearances, boi
while standing on the kitchen table
Voices would be heard threatening Es
ther, and on one occasion a lighted
match fell from the ceiling and nearly
set fire to the bed.

ed through the air and one OF them
found lodgment in her back. Dishes
and dishpans would fly out Of her
hands and across the room and there
was no rest for the poor girl day or
night, for the ghost got SO bold that
it would stage its vengeful exploits in
the full glare of the daylight and ap-
parently got away with them The
phenomena became so violent and at
tracted such widespread notoriety that
the owner Of the premises finally
served notice on the Teed family to

seemed to satisfy the Great Amherst
Ghost" for from that time on the dis

THE FORUM

Editor Palladium:
We, the Jr o. U. A. NJ, Richmond
Council No. IS, are in hearty accord
with William ]. Bryan in opposing the
teaching of Darwinism in our public
schools instead of the teaching Of the
Word Of God.
We feel like 1t was time to wake up
to the dangers of such teaching to the
rising generation, when they should be

which the laws of our country are
founded, and the word on which our
principles are based, in the greatest
patriotic organization within the bor-

VAN IOERSTEM ON TRIAL
IN THE COUNTY COURT

NEW BRUNSWICK, April H.
Harry Van Iderstein of Perth AM
hoy IL on trial in the county court
today under an Indictment charging
him with issuing a false financial
statement on June II, 1920. for the
purpose of obtaining goods on the
report.
: At the opening of the trial, for
mer Senator Thomas Brown. repre-
senting the defendant, moved for
dismissal of the complaint OF the
ground that a crime was not
charged. but the court overruled the
request.
Van Iderstein conducted an auto
mobile accessory store at Perth
Amboy. and it is charged that he
knowingly made this statement with
intent that 1t be relied upon by Can
tin & Blackstone of New York in
shipping a bill of goods. The state
expects to show the statement was
false in every respect.
The man had ordered thirty-nine
tires for $3.50 and in his state
ment he declared that he had s1.235
cash in the bank and other assets.
whereas his bank account was over
drawn and his other assets were not
~ large as he claimed.
