2. Answers which he does not know were in his mind, but supposes they must have been. Thus, in his own language, while commenting on the answers to questions respecting Mary C---- and her brothers: "Nor can I account for the answer '_Unhappy_,' _unless unconsciously to myself_ there passed through my mind that vague fear so common to us all when we inquire about friends of whom we have not heard for years. The death of the two brothers baffled all conjecture _unless I remembered_ that during the war I saw the death of a young man of the same name, and I wondered at the time if it was one of these brothers--whether they had joined the army." (The Italics our own.) So also of Planchette's answers to the questions respecting Mr. Green, locating him in Brazil, and saying that he intended to pay him (Mr. H.) ten thousand dollars next year, while Mr. G. had last been reported to Mr. H. as being in New York, and the latter did not know that he had ever been in Brazil. But Mr. H., after thinking over a certain conversation which he had previously had with Mr. Green respecting a business journey he had made to "_South America_," remarks: "Brazil doubtless often occurred to me--in fact, I was conscious on reflection that I had more frequently located him in that country than in any other. So when the question was put, it would involuntarily flash over me _without my being conscious of it_, 'I wonder if he has gone back to South America, and if his venture is in Brazil?' _Magnetism caught up the flashing thought and put it on paper._" (Italics our own.) Such is his hypothesis to explain an hypothesis! 3. Answers which he not only knows he had not in his mind when the questions were asked, but which were directly _contrary_ to his mind or opinion. Such were answers to several of the questions occurring in the conversation about Mary C----, as, "better be dead;" "unhappy;" fault "partly herself;" has "_one_" brother; which latter statement was so directly contrary to his mind that he even pronounced it "false," until he thought to inquire, "How many _did_ she have?" 4. Answers which were not only not in his mind, but which he directly pronounces "_false_" and thus dismisses them. Such, for instance, is the answer "Nobody knows," to the question "Where is Mary C----?" "That this," says he, "was false, is evident on the very face of it." With this analysis of the leading phenomena cited by Mr. H. before us, lot us look at the wonderful things which "electricity and magnetism" are made to accomplish.
