The Medium (to Dr. Leidy): Ask if that is Mr. Seybert?
Dr. Leidy: Is Mr. Seybert present?
Three raps—very feeble.
Dr. Leidy (to Mr. Sellers): Was there an answer to that?
Mr. Sellers: There was. The answer was three raps. (After an interval, in which no response is received): There seem to be no further communications. I suggest that the test with the glass tumblers be now tried.
Upon the suggestion of the Medium, the test referred to was momentarily deferred, and Mr. Sellers made this inquiry:
It is proposed that the Medium shall stand upon tumblers. Are we likely to have any demonstration?
Three raps—promptly given, though feeble in delivery and but faintly audible.
The Medium: There were three—a kind of tardy assent.
Mr. Sellers (to the Medium): As if the Spirits might or might not communicate?
