Then there is the question of motive. Let me state that the Crewe Circle have never had one penny piece out of their various visits to Middlesboro’. We charged sufficient from each sitter to pay railway expenses only, nothing more. We paid for the railway tickets, that was all. Where on earth was the incentive for these people to leave their homes to come here to deceive us? One’s sense of humour must have been neglected if they cannot see that the whole of the charges are too funny for words.
That the phenomena are genuine I am convinced. What is behind the phenomena is another matter, and does not enter into the present question.
If the scientists care to continue to drag on behind plain common-sense people let them do so. I have scores of good friends who have had that experience which no scientist can take from them, and I prefer to accept their opinions, along with my own experience, rather than listen to those people whose one desire seems to be to bolster up preconceived ideas.
The world would be better for some more people as honest as are the members of the Crewe Circle.

An Account by MRS. MARGARET ELLINOR
(A description of three remarkable recognised likenesses obtained by a lady photographer.)
I am anxious to help to prove the truth of psychic photography, and with this end in view I am sending herewith three photographs taken by Mr. Hope, of Crewe, under test conditions, which contain recognised “extras.” [Not reproduced.—Ed.]
Might I say that in the first place I was extremely sceptical, having some knowledge of photography. Even after myself obtaining a “psychograph” I was still in a doubtful frame of mind, and attended the British College of Psychic Science to gather further evidence.
