same paper as those used in the X-Ray Laboratory. If anything
happened to the plate it happened _through_ the paper of the
envelopes. But, as I have said, one of the committee was in the
room during the whole experiment. The sole possibility of fraud was
for the subject to have come prepared with a cross painted with
radio-active paint, and to have held this against the envelopes
whilst the Committee was off its guard. But the character of the
subject is sufficient guarantee to all of us that such was not the
case. I admit that to those who do not know him, this would furnish
no guarantee, and that for this reason we should have taken even
more stringent precautions. Had we known that such a result was to
be obtained we probably would have done this, but we were just a
company of friends who had gathered to try what we might
accomplish, after having read of Colonel de Rochas' experiments
along this line. We trusted one another, and so it is barely
possible that for a moment some one who was supposed to be
watching the subject was off his guard. Therein lies the sole
possibility of fraud in this result, and, as I said, this is out of
the question with us who know the character of the subject.

Yours very truly,

P. S. The reason we were not all in the room with the subject
during the trial was that we were trying to do the same thing
ourselves. I was concentrating upon a V, with a film on my
forehead, and the others were trying it either with film or plate.
Only one other secured anything at all, and that was but a blur.
Our subject who did get the Cross result is a very highly developed
mystic with remarkable powers of concentration, but modest about
his powers and for that reason, and because he is extremely busy,
we have not been able to repeat the experiment with him since. V.

As might be expected, many of these "psychic photographs" take on the
characteristics of "spirit-photographs," in that they show definitely
recognizable _forms_. This is especially true of a number of psychic
photographs which were recently taken at Crewe, England, in the presence
of two non-professional mediums, who have, nevertheless, obtained
hundreds of successful photographs in this manner. Regarding their
