A Boene at a Seance and Its Sequel Today. SOME GHOSTLY UNDERWEAR. ‘Where Was the Limb That Mr. Shannon Seised?—Judge Milter Believes He Must Sudgethe Case by Physical Facte—Spirit. ualistic Experts. atin Fas? < Cees ‘Whose garter was it and whose limb? Was ita material or a spiritual limb? These were the questions which Judge Miller had to decide today. Itall grew out of @ scene at = mate- rinlizing wpiritualistic seance at the rooms of Mr. Ross,a medium in the Hotel Albert, on 13th street, January 11 last. ‘The seance bad gone on as such performances do until an old gentleman bad been called up to | bee the curtain which formed an inclosare around the cabinet to havea tete-a-tete with his great grandmother. The light was dim, but the ghostly form of the grandmother could be seen between the parted curtains. Just then # young man who was present, Mr. 3. Harry Shannon, a newspaper man and @ skeptic, made a bolt for the curtain, dived under the old gentleman and caught comething by the leg. The spiritualicts say he caught the old gentleman's leg. Mr. Shannon says it wasa ‘very substantial limb and it was Mrs. Ross’. In tho struggle that followed Mr. Shannon secured ns trophies a garter anda pair of cor sets, which Mrs, Ross said were of spirit manu- facture and represented the styles now prevail- ing in the spirit land. There was great row and some furniture and other articles were broken. It all came out in the Police Court today in a very spirited trial. THE MEDIUM AND THE INVESTIGATOR. ‘Mrs. Ross, the medium.who bas been holding reances for sixicen years, wes there, and 60 was her husband, who is her business manager. There were enough of the spiritualist in the room to hold a seance, but there was no cabi- net there. The occasion was the trial of Mr. Shannon and Messrs, William Vonderheide and Joseph Wilkins, who were with him on the night of the row. Mr. Shannon was charged with assault on Dr. Zachariah Wheat and also with brosking a table and music box belonging to Mr. Ross. Assault on Mr. Ross was the charge against Mi. Vonderheide, while using profane language was charged against the third defend- ant. ‘The announcement that the case was to be tried was the means of attracting a large crowd, and when the case was called at 10 ——s standing room was at a premium. Mr. Mulowney prosecnted the case, Mr. Lipscomb defended Mr. Shannon. WITNESS CHAS. ROSS. The witnesses wero called and Mr. Potts asked, “Are they all here?” ‘Yes,” was the response. <The eatice mpisis world,” added Mr. Lips- comb. “What is yonr name?” asked Mr. Mullowney of tho first witnesa. This witness was a tall man, with a reddish | beard and mustache of fashionable cut. He wore a business snit and locked more like a hustling commercial drummer than a high | Priest of spiri tharles Ross” was ‘And your residence? “514 18th atrest.”” Witness said that he first met Defendant Shannon, who introduced himself as Roberts, He joined the circle and was present on the occasion of the disturbance while the seance was in progress. ‘The defendant Shannon, he said, cried “Fire!” Police!” Murder!” ‘Then there was an exciting scene inthe room, Shannon grabbed Dr. Wheat by the leg and then Vonderheide upset witness. Witness said that be had met Defendant Shannon at the meetings, but only knew him as Mr. Roberts. TEE WITNESS’ BUSINERS. “What's your business?” asked Mr. Lips- comb of witness, “I am manager for my wife, who is a medium, and I also deal in stocks.”” “I mean what honest labor do you perform?” asked Mr. Lipscomb. “I deal in stocks.” Witness then said that his parlor on 13th street contained a cabinet made by Mr. Canli- flower and presented to his wife by Mr. and Mra. Cabell. He explained that there was a wire netting around the cabinet in which the medium goes d then it is securely fastened. He said he knew of no way in which the medium could get out, “I do not say or promise that any manifesta- tions will take place, whatever,” answered wit ness when asked by counsel ‘concerning the seance. “To the best of my knowledge and belief persons from the spirit world appear through my wife and converse with their friends.” ARRESTED IN MASSACHUSETTS. “Were you ever arrested in Massachusetts and expored as a fraud?” asked counsel. “I was arrested and acquitted by a jury,” he answered, “and the exposure was the same as in this cave, a tissue of falsehoods,” Mr. Lipscomb then produced rs con- taining articles concerning Mr. Rore and his wife and he denounced the articles as false. “Teppeal to your honor,” said Mr. Ross. “Have these newspaper accounts any bearing on this case?” “No, sir,"” said the judge. “I want’ to show,’ said Mr. Lipscomb. ‘that this man isa pronounced, published and un- adulterated fraud.” “No, sir,” replied witness excitedly. “It's te “When did you first become acquainted with Mr. ‘Roberts?*” bout four weeks before this affair." “Who is Bright Star?" asked Mr. Lipscomb. “Has that anything to do with the case?” asked witness, ‘The judge wanted to know what that bad to do with the case and some one said, ‘“Get out.” “Why, your honor,” said Mr. Lipscomb, “I ‘am surrounded by erauks, and they ought to be sent over to Dr. Godding’s.”” Iudge Miller said he thonght everybody had aright to his belief and Mr. Ross said he also thought that way. Counsel then examined witness concerning the various spirits that a and about his then she went in there. THE STORY OF A GARTER. “Did not Mr. Shannon pick up a garter and hand it to your wife?” asked Mr. Lipscomb, “and did not she respond that it was the garter rit?” over the table.

AW GEORGE WASHINOTOX. “Did George Washington appear to you in| j Continental uniform that night and talk with | you about the revolutionary war?” said Mr. Lipzcomp, | “He did not tak about the war,” said the | witness, He said, however, he saw Gen.

During the cross fire the wit- | nest said to Mr. Lipscomb: | “You can look at me as much as you i.

Harry Shannon, was called to the stand and told his oxperiences while in- | lism in general,and the Rose | piritualism in particular, during the past three | | months. | His account of what he saw was spirited and ludicrous and caused considerable laughter. He told of communications from Hannibal, Cesar, Abraham Lincoln and other distinguished dead, | all of which he said were in the sume hand- writing. He told of the appearances of various females | and said oue of those present used to go to the | curtain to see bis spirit wife and he could bear | very fiethly amucks, He told of wires stretched | near the ceiling used as sort of trolicy lines for | | dummy spirits to be opersted on. | ON THE NIGHT IN QUESTION, On the night in question Dr. Wheat, he said, was at the cabinet talking with bis alleged grea! grandmother.

Mr. Shannon, continuing, said she was out- side of the cabinct—the grandmother was out- side of the cabinet. When Mrs. Ross released herself she escaped to her bed room. “In the acute after Mra. oss was released,” he went on, “I picked up some white mosquito netting, a garter and a pair of corsets,” When after the lights were turned up Mrs. came out of the bed room aud advancing taid, as if she were dazed, “Where am I? ‘The witness said be had not kicked the table over.
