"Does he know who is now speaking?"
Three raps.
Mr. Sellers then pointed to the letters of the alphabet, which he had written in order on a sheet of paper, and raps spelled out:
CHARLES CERI.
Mrs. Kane then tried standing at some distance from the table, with her hands on the back of a chair; there were some raps seemingly near or under the Medium.
Raps were produced as members of the Committee stood with the Medium around the desk in the library, and close to a book-case. Raps were produced according to the Medium on the glass door of a book-case, upon which Mr. Sellers placed his hand. Mr. Sellers felt no vibration on the glass, but raps were heard somewhere in the vicinity.
The Committee then returned to the dining-room and the Medium wrote upon a sheet of paper the following:
"Friend Pepper: I am happy to meet you here to-night. I have not forgotten my promise to you, Henry Seybert."
The paper had to be held to the light and read from the obverse side, as the message was written from right to left.
Mr. Geo. Pepper: "Do you remember the year in which you made the promise?"
