A u Psychometric" Experiment. 201
few questions that I put to you, and from the way in which you
answered them, I formed the conclusion that you were not acquainted
with one kind of psychic phenomena-with psychometric
reading, as it is called. The idea then came to my mind thatl should
like to acquaint you with psychometry during your stay at Eliot.
It was then about 6 p. m. As 6 p. m. was the time for supper at
the house where I was staying, I had to leave the tent in which you
were still answering questions. But, in order to let you know of
my intention to take you to a psychometrist during your stay at
Eliot, I took Mr. Mosley apart and told him of my plan, and requested
him to ask you whether you would like to go to a psychometrist,
either the next morning, or the same evening after supper,
in case you should leave Eliot the next morning. I invited Mr.
Mosley to go with us, in case you would like to go. :Mr. Mosley
then went to speak to you, and in a minute came back to me and
told me you were willing to go to the psychometrist that evening
after supper. Mr. Mosley asked me then whether he could invite
Miss Puffer also, and I answered in the affirmative. By that time
you had finished answering questions, and you, Mr. Mosley and I
walked back together to the hotel where you were staying and agreed
to meet at the hotel immediately after supper. It was then about 6:15
p. m. As Mrs. Stansell lived about a 15 minutes' walk from the
hotel, I did not wish to take you and Mr. Mosley and Miss Puffer
in vain to her house, and expressed the hope that, before the time
agreed upon by us for meeting at the hotel, I might be able to find
out from some one whether Mrs. Stansell would be at home that
evening. I went then to supper to the house where I was staying,
and immediately after supper I went back to the hotel. I found
you, Mr. Mosley and Miss Puffer in the hall of the hotel. I had
not succeeded in learning from any one whether Mrs. Stansell would
be at home that evening. As you, Mr. Mosley and Miss Puffer
were ready to go, we started from the hotel towards her house.
It was then about 7 p.m. We reached her house at about 7:15p. m.
I had no idea whether we should find Mrs. Stansell at home or not.
And Mrs. Stansell had no knowledge of our coming. There had
been no arrangement of the meeting between Mrs. Stansell and
myself. In fact, I had not seen Mrs. Stansell for at least one, but
probably two days. Neither had I had any communication with her
concerning our meeting. On the way to her house we stopped and
