differences of sympathy with them as experimenters, as it represents
events in the transcendental world. The most that we can
say, from the failure, is that the statements are quite conceivable,
tho not provable. The reference to failure, to suspicion and to
the fact that it was a man that was concerned fairly well point to
the person I_ wanted mentioned. For Mr. Martin was the only
man I had worked with on that trip, and my record shows how
suspicious he became. -Then the phenomena were of the physical
type. The mixture of " honesty and qelusion " also exactly describes
the situation, as I was convinced the man was honest but
did not have the remotest idea of what was necessary to protect
himself from the gibes and accusations of the sceptic. The deception
alluded to might imply accusation against Mr. ,Martin, but the
breakdown in the control prevents assurance on that interpretation,
and I am inclined to think that it refers to events connected
with conflicts on the other side. We cannot be sure of this under
the circumstances. There was no further opportunity to discuss
the question or to get information about it at that time. Suffice
it to say that the situation was reasonably well described, and this
was done without impeaching t\te man for any gross deviation
from honesty.
