Q. Before sitting for the picture what conversa- tion, if any, did you have with Mumler or Gray as to the taking of the picture? =A. When I went into tne reception room 1 saw Mr. Gray standing at his desk, and, inferring that he was the man to whom I should make application, asked him if, in case of my sitting ior a photograph, he would warrant me in getting a spirit picture of myself; ne said he would Not warrant it, and could not warrant It; that he never did warrant it with anybody; then I waited awhile; 1 asked if 1 should go into the photographic room, and I was told it was up, stairs, and thata gentleman was up there end would be down soon; 1 waited about fifteen minutes, and then the gentle. man came down stairs, and [was told to go up; 1 went up stairs aud saw Mr. Mumier and a young man six:een or seventeen years old; they appeared to be the ouly persons tuere; I repeated substantially the iaquiry [made down stairs; 1 asked him if there ‘Was any certaiucy of 1 ting a spirit likeness; he Bald there was no certa’ ‘hatever—that that was beyond iis control; tiai sumetimes parties did get them and sometimes they did not, but he could pot assure me; [| thea sat with the result of geiting a picture with the likenéss of a lady how dead, and here 18 the original of it (producing it); when | went there | went with the inpression that Mumier was a cheat, probably; I refused to give my pam ‘ay asked my Bame and [refused to give it; when! paid my money he put down the umber 15¥ instead.

No promise whatever; I told hin J wanted io sit for my photograph, and he gave me every facility for ex- amination, The witness here went on to detail what occurred in the operating room after he had accom peated Mumier and his wife up stairs, and how he ad changed his position several times wien Mumler Was ready to operate, so ag to throw him off his ard and to make sure that he could noi be hum. ; how he had refused to pay for the tirst pic- tures because they were so unsatisfactory; how he left rather indignant, and how at subsequent sittings satisfactory photographs were develoved, and how Dr. Gray immealately recognized them as portraying relatives of his; how he sat five tames in succession until he was satisfied, the (rst two sittings resulting im nothing but a shadowy ba und; how the form of his wife unmistakably appeared on his photograph; how he went to Mumler at firsc prejudiced against him and warned against him as a trickster by some friends in Boston; but now he did not desire to do any injustice to Mr. Livermore, and for that reason he gave this testimony; how he refused to pay him his ten dollars for his first pic- tures, which were 80 Unsatisfactory, but afterward gave him twenty dollars, he Was go weil sat- isfled with Mumler.) Cross-examined 4 by Mr. Geary—Q. What is that that is behind your head on that picture that you say bears the representation or form of your wile? A. It looks very much like @ wreath of fowers. Q. Dia you reco; anything peculiarly spiritual at the time the photograph was takeny A. No, sir. Q. Loox at that picture and see if there is anything about it like your wife? A, It resembies ker some- what, a3 much as one human face does another. ‘There is a similarity 1n all human faces, Mr. Geary—I Leg your pardon. Do you see any resemblance between that picture and your wile? A. I dou’t see any resembiance more than one human face bears to another. Q. Mr. Livermore, are you a@ believer in the doc- trine that departed spirits return to earth and visit their relatives? A. I am not a spirituatist in the general accentation of the term; I am a believer in spiritual phenomenon which presents itself to my own senses. Q. You oeae on your senses for the formation of that belief so far as you do? A. Ido. Q. Do you believe that spirits are material or im- naiurai?’ A. That is a question which, I think, lam not called upon to answer; so far ag my observation goes, the physical phenomenon seen by me either occurs from the force of the atmosphere or other force, Which 1 don’t undertake to question and which 18 apparently material. Q Describe any one of those material forms? A. It is impossible for me to describe them at present. Q. Are they susceptible to the feelag? A. Yes. Q. ‘fo the touch? A, Yes. . Totheeye? A. Yes. $ To the Means of nearing? A. Yes; with my friend Mr. Variey I spent some timo in the examination of this phenomenon; he had electric batteries and all appliances necessary for the pur- pose; we both came to the conclusion tat a force exists which 1s subject to no kaown laws; that it was real, a3 rea magnetic force. Q. Is it a positive or negative force? A. It is im- possible 19g me to state. Q. Did you make the experiment with a view to ascertain that fact? A. Yes, Q. Neither of you was able to determine whether it ‘Was positive or negative force? A. We did not dis- cover that it had any particular relation to magnetic force except that it was as real. Q. Was it created by artificial means? A. No, Q. How did it exhibit itself? A, Through the pre- sence of a medium, Q. Only through that presence? A, Yes; the ex- amination was made for that purpose. , And you watched the eifect of what was done? A. The form occurred in our presence. Q. What was it? A. It would be impossible for me to describe; it would take me too long to explain it Q. Dia you observe during the time these photo. graphs were being taken by Mumler whether there was an exibition of the sort? A. I did not Q. When you went into the room with Mumler did his wiie remain there? A. She did not; she was ae one time in one place and one time in another. Q. Did she act as any such medium as in the case with your friend Mr. Varley? A. No; she did not as a Medium. Q. DO you believe those pictures are spiritual phenomena? A. My belief is not yet settled; I have not watched sufficiently in that particular. You do not mean understood as believing in the photographing of spirits? A, I do not. Q. Do Fhe suppose that by electricity or a know- ledge of Magnetism that deiinite forms can be pro- duced ashuman? A. | think every form is human.

Thero is no possibility of the escape of a single miner who Was in either of the three mines beiore the explosion, and estimates as to the number still missing vary from ten to twenty, with a great prob- ability of a hearer approach to the iatter than the former number. A HERO OVERPOWERED. The heroic miner, Robert We'ch, who from an early hour yesterday hear until driven out at one o'clock in the afternoon, in compauy with Rit Williams, by the nexious te and smoke, faithfully labored 10 recovering dead bodies, became insensi- ble and so badly asphyxiated that but for the sup- port of Williams he would have been precipitated irom the cage into the shaft.

Anotber tale of alleged revolting cruelties on board ®@ vessel bound from Liverpool to this port was de- veloped yesterday in this city, and though not attended with 103s of life so great as was the case on the ship James Foster, Jr., 13 still, if all the do- tails given are corroct, a truly shameful case, The victims are about tnstituting legal proceedings, how- ever, which will probably determine the truth or falsity of the charges made by a number of men who composed the crew, agatast Captain Wm. H. Robin- gon and Richard Homman, chief mate, of the ship Richard Robinson, now lying at pier 44 Kast river, The members of the crew who complained of their injuries are Robert McDoaald, aged twenty- two, @ native of Scotland; James Brown, aged thirty- two, born in Maryland; Charles H. Tuttle, aged twenty-two, born in Boston; Donald McKee, aged twenty-six, born in New York; Edward Williams, aged twenty-four, a native of Norway; Richard, aged twenty-two, of Denswigh, Prussia; James Blundell, aged thirty, bora ia England, and Fred. Jannsen, aged twenty-five, a native of Hamburg. All thege men have marks of somo violence upon their persons, their heads and faces being gashed, and bruisea, and their hair torn out, They were beaten with clubs, axe-helves, brass knuckles, £¢., and several of them were tied up by ‘he hands, Brown’s hands being paralyzed from the rough treatment. The Richard Robinson {s an American vessel, owned by her captain’s father, now living in this city, On Saturday last she arrived at this port with a cargo of crockery, having sailed from Queenstown, England, on the 20th or 22d of March. Captain Robinson, who bails from Boston, is a man of medium height, aged about thirty years. The chief mate, Hoffman, who belongs in Williamsburg, L. I., is about twenty-three years of age. The captain and chief mate abandoned the ship as soon as she reached this port, leaving the Vessel in possession of the fourth officer and a few hands, mostly apprentices. The victims, whose names have been given were & part of the crew of twenty-one, and were taken on fresh at Liverpool in January last. They have all received some educa- tion, and McKee was in the late Union army, where he had a finger shot off tn baitle. THE OUTRAGES, The ship, having taken on her cargo at Liverpool, was hauied off into the river on the 20th, and on the 2d of February she started on her voyage to New York, The captain having laid in several cases of liquors before leaving port, he and the first mate had imbibed so much that they had been in a state of beastly intoxication for several days, but remained comm pasar quiet up to the time of put- ting to sea, en thep came on deck, and inter- fered with the men’s work so that the crew were compelled to resist them. The two chief officers hourly became worse, and continucd to drink so much that they apparently became maddened, They were both armed with revolvers and Knives, and the i having nothing but weir sheath knives, were obliged to submit to the outrages which now ON, loyed in the Kentuck began to be iniicted upon them, ‘he skip | ered with ropes a disiance of filty feet.

The only female on board was the captain’s wife, @ young woman who had great influence over her husband when sober, and to whose exertions and mnportunities the bodies of the crew were, as they allege, saved from destruction by the captain and mate. She kept a constapt watch over the two drunken officers, following them about during their carousals, day and aiens until she became afraid that her own life would be endangered,: and left the ship white in the channel, taking a steamer and reaching the land.
