fastened with a screw.
Dr. Koenig also wrote a question, which was enclosed in the other slate, the slate being screwed up by Mr. Furness. The Medium then placed both slates upon her lap, and partially under the table. A portion of the time the upper slate was between the palms of her hands, the back of the lower hand resting on the lower slate. Then one hand was placed upon each slate, the two being placed together. No results having been obtained after waiting twenty minutes, one of the new slates was laid aside, and the Medium's old slate, with a piece of pencil in it, laid upon the remaining new slate in the Medium's lap. The Medium held from time to time a lead pencil in one hand, but was not moved to write. The Medium declared that when writing appears upon the slate in her lap she feels a shock, but no other sensation. Two Spirit Photographs were exhibited by the Medium. In one the Spirit was her own mother. The Spirit in each appeared as a white apparition behind a person seated in the foreground. The slates remained in the lap of the Medium one hour and twenty minutes. No manifestations were produced during the evening. The Commission adjourned to a room at the Social Art Club for conference. |
