A Spiritualistic Exposure.
There has been another exposure of Spiritualism in Memphis at one of Mrs. Miller's séances. The Appeal says: “Dr. Watson asked the spirit to come out on the platform, take a chair, and make itself sociable, or words to that effect. The spirit hesitated a little but finally came out from the curtain and advanced to take a seat in the chair, when, at a given signal, two of the young men rushed upon the stage, seized the white object around the waist, while another one of the party, armed with a tin box filled with cotton and turpentine, sprung a bright light which revealed to the astonished gaze of every one present Mrs. Miller, with her top dress turned over her head so as to expose her white, spiritual apparel, in which condition she was held by the young man, while she was making desperate efforts to ‘pull down her dress,’ and at the same time shove her wrists into the cords which had confined them together. It appears that Mrs. Miller, who invariably wears a dark-colored overdress when making her spiritual displays, raises these top-skirts above her head, displaying in the dim light the white outline of the figure which she has palmed off on a few—and we venture to say only a few—as the materialized spirit of an adult, or, by lowering the dark skirts a little, that of the child to which Dr. Watson has so often referred as prima facie evidence that Mrs. Miller could not possibly personate them. She called out lustily for Mr. Miller to put her tormentors out, but they had not come there to be put out, and refused to submit to the delicate operation, at least by Mr. Miller or his associates in the fraud.”
