Mr. Fullerton asked a question as requested, but received no answer from the Spirits. Some scratching was now heard under the table. The Medium took the slate held by Mr. Furness (one not screwed or fastened by hinges), and it was held under the table by Mr. Furness, Mr. Hazard and Mr. Briggs. The Medium seemed much excited, spoke rapidly, etc., and was so much overcome that he dropped the slate (one brought by Mr. Furness) which he was holding under the table with his left hand, and left it lying on the floor under the table. At 8 o'clock Dr. Koenig came in. The slate held by the Medium, Mr. Furness and Mr. Hazard, was held in Mr. Hazard's lap, and some taps were heard. (Mr. Furness afterwards produced taps precisely similar by rubbing the side of his finger slowly along the side of the slate.) No writing having been obtained, the Medium declared that he alone would hold the slate, as the magnetism of Mr. Furness was injurious. Again we were invited to ask questions. Dr. Leidy asked: 'When and where did you die?' No answer. The Medium asked Mr. Furness if his name were not Furness. (Mr. Hazard had seen the Medium before, and informed him that the Commission was coming.) Mr. Furness now put his hand under the table on the hand of the Medium, which was pressing the double slate (not the screwed one) up against the table. Mr. Furness declared that he heard a certain buzzing noise. The slate being taken out, there was found written on the inside of the under slate: I will help you all R. Dale Owen and something that looked like "Henry Furness is here." The slate on the floor being examined, there was found on the _outside_ (it was a screw-slate) I am here with you I will help you R. Dale Owen. Some other illegible marks were found on the slate. Nothing was obtained on the inside of either screw-slate. The handwriting on the two slates, purporting to be from R. Dale Owen, was much alike. The Medium now took hold of Mr. Hazard's hand, and went into trance, personating Esther Hazard, a deceased daughter of Mr. Hazard. He (the Medium) made convulsive motions, trembled, etc., and while in this state predicted that Mr. Fullerton would receive a very pleasing letter on Saturday next--said that he should come to the Medium for advice. [No such letter was received on that date by Mr. Fullerton.] He also declared that Dr. Koenig had brought with him a Spirit named August. He declared Ponto, White-feather, Red Jacket and Thomas Paine to be present. (The Medium called "White-feather" _he_, Mr. Hazard objecting that White-feather was a woman.)
