Hence the agitation. The beil made no dole- ful clanging noise, however, and the door was not | opened by a luminous shadow. On the contrary | 8 remarkably healthy looking woman answered | Whe reporter's query, “MR. FOSTER WAS AT HOME.” Thus encouraged the HERALD man ascended the stairs and found Mr, Foster ina pleasant back Mtting room, surrounded by flowers and sunsbine. When the great courier between THIS WORLD AND THE NEXT | was toid that the HemaLp had sought him for the | purpose of having the shades of Shakespeare and | Bacon summoned, so that we could all nave a | comfortable chat about the authorship of the plays— | ® sort of private hearing, as it were—he remained | silent a moment, and then said, quite frankly :— “Iam, as you are well aware, chiefly a phenom. | onal medium. The problem you give me to svlve | Is a littie out of my line; but I will do wnat! can for you, Pray excuse me a moment until I finish with a party in the other room.” We waited among the flowers, the birds and the | Sunsbine, whiling away the time with the Bratie- boro, Vt., conclusion to the “Mystery of Edwin Drood,”? which claimed in the preface to have been written by the dead band of Dickens, and an- nounced, with a genuine business flourish, another | work irom the great novelist, the winding sheets— | or rather the advance sheets—of which would | soon be ready, Ina few moments Mr. Foster re- | turned, took a chair, lighted a cigar, and entered | into @ general conversation, intended to lead him | Bradually into the | | | | PROPER PASSIVE STATE. Be looked remarkably weil, and expressed himself as highly pleased with his Australian visit. “Is this your first experience of this kind?” he asked, We answered that it was. “1 am ready now; let us go into the front toom.”” It isa cosey room, well lighted, neatly farnished, | with no mystic appearance whatever, and an utter | absence of impressive paraphernalia.

A card, on which | wero the characters of the alphabet, lay on tne table; nat, and a jew sitys of white paper, com: , prised the apparatus. “We are ready now,” said Foster. ‘Take six or seven narrow slips of white paper and write on them the names ol as mauy dead peopie—some you | knew and some you did hut know.

The question, which had not veen previously read by Fuster, was— “Did you possess suficient ciassical knowledge to write the plays accredited to your’? The medium took the paper, pressed it across bis forehead, and held asuodued and—to us—un- intelligible conversation with the poet. “Tne an- ewer to your question,’ Foster remarked pres- ently, ‘is, ‘1 did not.’ What is your question?’ Be opened it and read. ‘The jolluwing note was then written and handed, folded, to Foster:-— “Them there are plays, the credit of writing which you enjoy, which you did not write?” Hardly were tne words formed when there came wree Sturdy knocks under the taole, that settled it, ‘He says ‘Yes,’"’ Foster remarked, “What are they ?” we asked. At this point there seemed to be a dimculty; end, if we might judge by the animated rapping, there was a deuce of a row going on between SHAKESPEARE AND BACON, “He says that you shall write the names of some plays, and he wiil select those that belong to him.” At random we wrote this list on separate slips: — “froilus and Cressida,” “l!empest,” ‘Julius ” “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Timon of Athens,” “Hamlet,” and the metrical tragedy, “Rape ‘of Lucrece.”’ We felt tempted to insert “Belle Lamar,’ but thougnt it would be taking too much liberty’ with Shakespeare. He might have said he wrote it. ‘the papers were folded, and as Foster held them up one by one he asked, “Did you write this?!’ There came a terribly ro “No!" in response, except in one instance. The play was “Hamlet,” “and even in that,’ said Foster, ‘he says he was assisted.’ “Who did write them?” was our next question. More fluttering, stamping and general inystery. Foster seized a pencil, and, pausing first a mo- ment, wrote one word, and passed it over. The word was *Bacon!!? “Why, then, did Bacon not acknowledge the suthorship?” ANsWER—There was a reason for Bacon not ac- | nowiedging 17 “What reason?"

JUDGE PIERREPONT'’S VIEWS. Let an interviewer enter the closet of # well educated professional man, whether a Jawyer, Politician or divine, and it 1s astonishing with what avidity he waives all other subjects and with what celerity he enters into the consideration of the social quostion of the hour, to wit:—' Did Bacon write Shakespeare?’ Every thorough college stuaent has pondered toc works of | the great master of Englisn literature, and had his plastic mind indelibly impressed | with the suolime thoughts of him who has been | not inaptly described as the original interviewer of any agé—one who could interview with equal adroitness and Jinesse either tne stavie boy or Queen Bess—who could squeeze out of boon com- panions the wit and humor that sparkled in their cups or sympathize with the sorrows of the despairing, the stricken and the forlorn, Just such a student was Judge Edwards Fercenony the now able lawyer and jurist, apt soholar an well known politician, and upon him a HERALD representative called with the tollowing r — | INTERVIEWER—What do you think, Juage, of the | question now exercisiug iiterary and other cir- cles, “Did Bacon write Shakespeare 7”? JUDGE (promptly)—There 1s no more sense in undertaking to show thut Shakespeare did not write the works atiributed to him than there is to attempt to show that Napoleon Bonaparte never lived and never was Emperor of France, A few years age ab ingenious aud elaborate effort ‘was made to prove that Napoleon never lived— that he was a myth. But it amounted to nothing, The proois of his existence were tvo irreiragable to be controverted. In the lapse of time the ingenuity of some minds 18 em- Ployed in getting up these things—these doubts gsbout men who have existed and events that have occurred. But, coming more directly to the point, Bacon coula'no more have writien the plays of Spakespcare than Shuke- speare have written the “Novum Organum.” The subject of Saakespeare’s origiuality was discussed and settled at the time of his existence, | and the discussion at thi tate date is only a2 ingenious contrivance to see how plausible an argument can be raised in behalf of the non-Shakespearian theory. Miss Bacon, who spent a good deal of time on the subject, and who wrote a great dea! about it, was insane, and died ina madhous:, and, in my judg- ment, all peuple who honestly believe that Bacon wrote “Shakespeare” are EQUALLY INSANE, It will appear from the above tnat Judge Plerre- pont is amoung those who decidedly believe that Shakespeare aimseli wrote “Shakespeare.” WHAT JOHN E. OWEN'S THINKS. _—~ PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9, 1874, Mr. Jono E, Owens, in conversation with your correspondent, said:—‘If Shakespeare did not | write his dramas he did not write his sonnets, | Ifne wrote one he wrote the other. The Baconi- ans admit that he ccmposed his poems, and hence they must of necessity impair their own argu- | ments against the authenticity of his plays. ican | show you peculiar forms of expression common to | both his poems and his plays which of themselves ought to be sufficient to convince any one that they were both written by the same hand.

WHAT MRS.

Shakespeare a Spirit Medium. To THE EpIToR OF THE HERALD:— It has been asserted by some one that Shake- speare was a spiritualist, If so he was tne great- | est medium that ever lived since the time ot the | old theocratic and priestly hierarchy of Israel, | when men were divinely inspired. All human | knowledge arising irom profound thought, all ex- | Pansion and expression of truth, goodness and no- | bleness latent in our nature is but the redex ol a | divine, all-pervading power, emanating from | Jehovah, “in whom,” says St. Paul, “we live, | move and have our being.” Therefore, Shake- | *peare, imbued by an unseen power, felt in the depths of his own soul a kinsbip with the inspired ones of all the ages.

The precise order of Shakespeare's plays as they Socpeee nee Sppeared has, I think, never yet been sully determined, and at this lace aay prob- ably never will. Some have surmised and expressed an opinion that many of the plays were adaptations frum old MSS. and plays which he remodelled tor the two theatres in which he was a stockholder. and what evidence 1s 1 to Warrant such an opinion? His plays evinve a master mind through- out thelr entire range. Not one is mediocr ‘This being considered, it does not seem probable that any other than Shakespeare himself ever wrote them.

BURGESS. Sept. 9, 1874. Did Shakespeare Write Bacon? To THE Epiror OF THE HERALD:— Bacon's “Novum Organum’ was published in October, 1620, afew months before his impeacb- ment, anda few years after the death of Shake- spesre, It was dedicated to James I. “Essay on Gardens’ was printed in 1625, nine aiter the death of Shakespeare. Bucon was thirty yearsin writing his “Novum Organum,” if | weare to credit his contemporaries aud himself. The pereliclams in Bacon’s great pbilosoptical work and Shakespeare's plays, and notably those | in bis “Essay on Gardens” and “The Writer's Tales” (pointed out in Fraser's article) must be accounted jor upon the counter theory that Shakespeare wrote Bacon, It matters not that they were publisned under the name of Bacon | alter Shakespeure’s death; Shakespeare had used them in bis itfetime suffictently to embellish his plays, and ieft the bulk of tnem as a legacy to his friend Bacov. Shakespeare knew very well that these ponderous philosophical works would be unpopular in his time, and injure Nis success | a6 a great playwright and @ player and stage man- age! r. fi Let us see what some of the opinions of Bacon’s great contemporaries were of his reputed philo- sophical works, Harvey, the discoverer of the cir- culation of the Dbivod, seld “he wrote philosophy like a Lord Chancellor.” James (the author of “An Essay on Tobacco” and the King of England) said that ‘it was Nke the peace of God, that surpasseth all under- standing.” Edward C the at jawyer, made Bacon’s work the subject of some caustic Latin verses, which, to usé the language of the Jearned Disraeii the elder, “marked his contempt of the philosophical pursuits of his illustrious rival.” The famous Cecil believed “that Bacon was @ man rater of show than of depth.” Dis- raell, in a range of evidence too much to quote, says: dence to prove how little Bacou was understood and how muco ne wa: en despised in his philo- sophical character.” ‘To the close ot his days were Lord Bacon’s philosophical pursuits disregarded and depreciated by ignorance and envy in the form of [riendamip and rivairy.’? Lord Bacon’s opin- jon of tais depreciation abouvds in his works, | Is it any wonder, then, that Shakespeare was glad to get rid of these ponderous philosophical works, to be publishea under another pame (then not illustrious) aiter his death, for fear that they might interfore with the success of his plays ¢ Think of some 30) or 400 French writers, som: 300 years hence, claiming that Boucicault, trom his name, was a Frenchman, and all ois plays origi- nally (:) were written jn Frenca!

A Poser from Scotia. New YorK, Sept. 9, 1874. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Thae beea reading wi’ muckle interest the lively controversy ganging on at the present time in | your valuable paper anent the authorship of the grand plays said to hae been written over three hunder years syne by ane Wulliam Shakespearn, | Muckle circumstantial evidence, as the lawyers ca’ it, is putten oot on the side o’ Lord Bacon.

To THE EDITOR OF THE UERALDi— Although it may seem “as profitiess as pouring Water in a sicve”’ to be groping in the ‘dark backward and abysm of time’ seeking for light as to whether Shakespeare's works were the pro- duct of his own hana aud Drain, still tt will do no harm to add my little mite of opinion to the gen- eral contribution. I do not believe Bacon wrote Shakespeare's works, but | do believe Shakespeare may have borrowed some of Bacon’s special know!- edge—not much—in law and natural philosophy. Shakespeare was a dratnatist whose ruling idea was ‘to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature,” and, in coniormity with tuat resolve, how natural it was to seek for information irom a source best instructed on the subjects ne wished to illustrate. if he did so borrow any ideas from a scientist he disguised them by dressing them in celest'al and immortal robes, Besides, knowledge cannot be copyrighted, for itis only the science of Nature's law jong agu known. Why | should we view Shukespeare a8 the originator of knowiedge, or ¢ven Bacon as the begetter of matneinatical truisms ? The proot is wanting that | the latter was a poet. We know he was a great thinker. Was Shakespeare a plagiarist? “If it were so it were a grievous fault, and grievously hath Shakespeare answered it,’ by being robbed in- definitely. Nowaaays the phraseology ot our ablest writers glitters with Snakespearian dia- monds, which one weil versed in the master poet can pick out readily ; and indeed some o1 our trivest vernacular phrases are Sbakespearianismes, STUDENT. THE JUVENILE HOMIOIDE. Autopsy on the Body of Robert Bell— Startling Rumor. Deputy Coroner MacWhinnle yesterday, at No. 607 Second avenue, made # post-mortem exami- nation on the body of Robert Beli, the boy foure teen years of age, whose brain was punctured by an umbrella wire with which he was struck by Wilitam Harrison, also a lad about the same age of deceased, as previously pub.ished in te HERALD, Dr. MacWhinnie made the following report:— Upon external examination found hair cut cioso over posterior injerior portion of right tetal vone, in the centre of which wa: mail punctured wound, Upon removing the scalp ;ound immedi- ately bencath externa) Wound @ punctured wound of skull about the size of an ordinary straw.

How Owen O'Neil Was Ground on a Wagon Hub for a Distance of Twelve Miles— Murderers Fasten Him Between the Spring and the Wheel—Arrest of the Supposed Criminals. Piatrspura, N, Y., Sept. 8, 1874. | On the morning of Sunday, July 5, 1874, about | five o'clock, a ghastly and horrible sight met the eyes of Mra. Owen O'Neil as she came forth from her | dwelling house, which is situated on the turnpike in Aitona, at a distance of eight or nine miles from this place. Her husoand had leit home the previous day to come to Plattsburg end had not returned. Wondering what had oeen the causo of his delay she arose, and looking out perceivod that the wagon which he had taken with) him was under the shed, as she could see the rear end pro- | jecting out. ailing to ner son, Laurence | O'Neil, that his father had not returned, but that | the horse and wagon were under the shed, she | hastened out, only to fnd her husband’s lifeless body wedged in between the forward spring of the | wagon and the hub, his head hanging down, his | | feet on the ground and his left arm between the thills and the horse. HORRIBLE MUTILATION, Made frantic by the leariul sight thus thrust be- | fore her vision, she continued to remove the body orbim who had teft herin the prime of life, healthy and strong the day before, (rom its position, and, with the ald of ner fatheriess child, carried 1t into the house, The clothes on the side which had rested on the hub were worn to shreds, and the flesh was all rubved off, makinga wound some ten inches in | length, through which the stomach could be seen. | There was also 3 wound five inches long, near the armpit, Which exposed tne Jungs to view. Three outs were found on the head, and the body wi bruised tn several places. It was at frst thought that perhaps he had fallen accidentally out of the wagon, but It was soon demonstrated that it was impossible to fall into the position In which he was found, and tt became generally believed that he had been cruelly mur- dered. | | | DEVELOPMENTS AT THE INQUEST. | A jury was summoned by Coroner Lafountain and tho testimony at the inquest showed that O'Neil had left Piattsburg between nine and ten o’clock on the night of the 4th, perfectly sober; that one witn had met three men in @ wagon, | quarreling. that groans had been heard by | Several persons living along the road, commencing | Several mites this side of O'Nell’s home. No one | had ventured out. as all thought it to be some one ' returning from a Fourth of July spree.

It would be shown be- youd possibility of contradiction that there are | two ilegitimate ehiidren now in the Poorhouse whose tather is an emplvyé of the county. It was time that this state of things should cease, and the only method of reaching the evil was by a searching investigation. Mr. Murray said that the Committee on Alms house had investigated this matter and had found the chargen to be true. The committee were jully aware ol allthe facts.

ERIE METHODIST CONFERENCE. ——— | Interesting Gathering and Exercises— Scandalous Charges Against Thr Ministers—Minor Beecher Sensations. Enre, Pa., Sept. 8, 1874, The Erie Conterence of the Methodist Episcopal Church met for its thirty-ninth annual this city on Wednesday last, Bishop Jesse D. D., presiding. About 250 members were pres- ent. On Wednesday, the first cay, the standing committees for the ensuing year were appointed. were read. A despatch waa received announcing the death of the venerable Bishop Morris, the senior bishop of thé Meihodist Episcopal Cburch. Bishop Peck made a few appropriate remarks con- procended to the residence of a family named eonard, on the road on which the murder took | \ yonn, on a car | were viought to | ton that loliowed the Jol.owing testimony was | brought out:-- lace, and orrested two of tne sons, “Pete” and ¥ of having kiiled O'Neil. ‘rhey lattsvurg, and on the examina- | ,, The cause of their arrest was @ statement made | by an old man named Granger, who had been working for several jarmers lu that section, in | whieh it hppears that on the nignt alter the | fMneral of O'Neil he lett Plattsburg, about ten | o'clock, on bis way to the residence of a man named Finnegan, ‘Twice he stopped so rest on the way, the second time in a littic hollow, near a brook which ran by tne house of the Leonaia’s, Here he sat down and ighted his pipe. Ere tong he observed two men come out of the house and | go down toward the brook by the road tence, | | whom he recognized by tne aid of the moonhgnt | to be “Pete”? and Jonn Leonard, the Jormer carry- | ing a spade. TERRIBLE REVELATIONS. Upon seeing them come towards him Granger | placed his hand over his pipe ana lid dywn soitly | under the cover of the bushes. When they ay | rived at the brook Johny had a bundle in his hand and something under his arm, which latter fell to tne ground, sounding as if it were a bar of iron, He commenced to wash the garments which the bundle contained, and, aiter some exertion | cerning the deceased, wheu the usual exercises | | continued. On Friday, the third day, letter was | | received from the Rev. Janes G Townsend, ask- | ing fof dismissal irom the tministty of tue | Methodist Episcopal Church; also asking a let- ter of recummendation to any evangelical | churen, He was allowed to ! but the recommendation was refused. ‘Tne Rev. C. W. Cushing, of the New England Converence Was transierred to the Erie Uouler- ence. In the afternoon the members of the Conference had a very pleasant time in an é¢xcursion around the bay and up to Massassangie Point, where tne Bishop deliverod a saort and iorcible address. On Saturday the time was taken up with miscellane- ous business, The Rev. William M. Bear and the Kev. K. A, Onrutners, of this Conference, were trausierred to the Minnesota Conference. The Confereoce decided to hold its next meeting in Youngstown, Unio. On Sunday the various ministers were scattered throughout the churcnes of tnis city. Bishop eck preached a very poweriul sermon at the Methodist Kpiscopal in the morning, and Dr. De Snel, Secretary of the Board of sis- sions, New York city, preached the afternoon. Thirteen elders and eighteen deacons were or- ciared that it seeined as 1 tue biood would never come out of the clotnes. His brother, thereupon, advised him to burn them up. At this juncture a Woman, dressed in her night clothes, came out aud appealed to them, for the honor of God, to come into the house, as enough had been done already. Turning to ner “Pete” grumy told her to take the ciothes with her into the house and burn them. Alter the woman had departed one of the men picked up the bar of iron, remarking that he had given O'Neil three or Jour good knocks with it on the tuigh, anu also that if nis brother had not taken it and struck O'Neil on the head witn it, the latter would have put bim out of the wagon, and that he had never thought O’Neli was os strong aman as he proved to be. ‘The other said that it he nad not uit him on the head with it ‘he would have euchred you.” John thought it would be best t» go to Canada, but “pete”? said that would be equai to a confession of guilt, Arter other conversation they moved off from his hiding place and resumed hts journey. GRANGER INFORMS, Ag may Well be expected, he was terribiy (right- ened while he lay among the bushes, and aston- ished at what he had beard, and was very much in doubt as to what was his proper course to pur- sce, He had a dread of tnoraing the autvorities, and kept his secret until a couple of weeks ago, when it became unbearable, and he went to the Rev, Father Maloney, pastor of St. John’s church, of this place, fur advice, and that gentieman 11 jormed bim that his auty was plain—to lay wh: ever injermation he possessed belore the proper officials, He then went to a citizen of the place and told his story. Au affidavit was made out and the Leonards, as betore staced, were arrested. “pete”? is pretty gencraliy known in this section and does not enjoy a very enviable reputation. He has been mixed Up in a preat many quarrets and riots, which nave chiefly resulted trom disputes at the gaming table. He is of medium height, with red mustache and chin whiskers, Jobn, who 16 now introduced to the public ior the first time, somewhat smaller than his brother, has a bent over, slouchy appearance, and rolls from side to side in his walk. He also wears a red mustache and red chin whiskers. His appearance would in- pe that he could easily ve controlled by his brother. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. On the Fourth they were in town and “Pete” created @ disturbance on the streets with a man with Whom, it is said, he bad been gamoling, For this he was arrested, but was allowed to go on bail. It 18 significant that almost the last thing O’Netl Was heard co say beiore 1eaying to meet ms death that night was that “Pete” bad been louk- ing alter him to get him to become his surety and that he had better not have anything tu do with the Leonards, ‘Ihis seemed to throw some sus- picion on them at first, but evidence was lacking | | to warrant tuetr deti DIRECT EVIDENCE.

GOING FOR BEECHER’S SCALP, Yesterday was one of the dullest days in the | 8reat Beecher scanial. The only tn‘eresting fact Was the announcement by Mr. Moulton thet hie | Additional statement was io be given to the prest to-day, This statement is very long, and it was Stated that some of its contents wil be very damaging to Mr. Beecher's cause. The statement Will attempt to fasten the crime charged upon tne pastor of Plymoutu church by giving some ad- Gitloual letters said to have a very strong bearing on the case. it will deal extensively with the charge of blackmail, and Mr. Moulton will en- deavor to estavi.sh his innocence of this charge by detailing the exact circumstances under which Mr. Beecher paid the money. It ts claimed by those of his friends who are au fait with his movee | ments that he will snow that Mr. Beecher himself | volunteered to give this money as a peace offering to Tilton, and that Mr. Moulton was entirely | blameless in these transactions. They say that this new statement of Mr. Moulton will convict Mr. Beecher AS AN UNPRINCIPLED LIBERTINE Of old standing, whose offences against Mr. Tilton Were not the only ones that could be laid at bis door. A gentleman, who {is supposed to be on the most intimate terms with Mr, Moulton, and who claims to know part of the contents of thi statenient, said that, in his opinion, its effect would be perfectly crushing, and tnat, as far as the public went, it would settle the case, naless Mr. Beecher could refute its most serious allegae tions. He said that some other women beside Mrs. Tilton would figure in the statement, and that Mr. heecher’s relations to those women would be analyzed and exposed in a manner that would leave Mr. Beecber “in no enviable position.” Mr, Beecher had himself provoked Mr. Moulton’s enmity, he declared, and he had only to blame he | himself if Mr, Mouiton would now try his utmosg to crush bim forever. MR. TILTON ON SLANG. Mr. Tilton, who carries himself with the same old air of unconcern and ada: Was in consul- tation with Dis counsel and with . Mouiton yes terday. He read part of his statement, which is te lollow that of Mr. Moulton, to the latter, who suggested a number of aiterations and emenda, tions. Mr. Tilton keeps himself so seciuded now tbat nobody in his house will even auswer t bell. at least w reporter rang yesterday iour tim before one of Mr. Tiiton’s minioas opened the dout Mr. Tilton, in conversation with & reporter, re quested that the public be informed, through the columns of the HERALD, that he never used slang in any shape or form whatever.

She clings to ner mother in her hour of distress with true filtal devovion. MR. MOULTON’S VERACITY. General Tracy, Mr. Beecher’s counsel, was ill at home yesterday, and no news was to be Ob» tained at his office. Mr. Beecher’s friende—it is needless ty say how numerous tuey are—ke very quiet and seem to look forward witn con dence to the approaching trial. Toe Committee of investigation nave been severely censured fot not publishing the remainder of the testimony Which was given belore them. “Why, it is pete Jectiy ludicrous,” a well known public man satd te the peporier yesterday, “to allow this committee to publish garbled extracts of the evidence and to suppress any testimony which is damagiug to Beecher.” The committee bave been repeated requested to give tne eutire evidence to thé ‘pul hic, but thus lar they have persistently declined to ao so—it 1s easy to {magine ior What reason. The | members of the committee, when questioned in regard to Moulton's iorthcomiug onslaught on Mr, Beecher, expressed great ference, one of them saying that notning Mr. Moulton could could hurt Mr, Beecher, as the public had lost al confidence in Moulton and would not believe him even under oath. ‘4 GOING FOR BEECHER'S SCALP. Mr. Moulton declined to see any and all of the | Fepresentatives of the press yesterday, but to | conversation with a iriend ne denied empnaticall | the statements in regard to his interview wit) Mr. Cleveland in Boston. He declared that the word “compromise” had never been mentioned at | that interview, that his Posing with Mr. Cleves | land was purely accidental, and that the conversa. | tion with tnat urdont triend of the Plymouth pastor was limited tothe exchange ot the usual compliments o! tne day. Mr. Moulton affirmed | that ne was not tne man to compromise anything; | when he declared war he meant it, and krowing | that he was in the right he would be the last man to lend his ear to any overtures for compromise. in other words, if the reporter's informant hag. understood Mr. Moulton’s utterances and taken them ip the right spirit, he is now “on the war Pato,” and means to obtain Mr. Beecher’s soul nothing more add nothing‘less.
