A SEANCE

ST. AGNES’S MARTYRDOM. SCENES OF A:D. 309 RECALLED. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). ROME, September 24. ’ An attempt to re-visualise historic events at an extraordinary seance recalling the martyrdom of Saint Agnes, who was executed A.D. 309, was conducted by Mr Price, the Director of the Psychic Laboratory at London, with a medium in the depths of (he catacombs. The medium related that she witnessed eleven scenes which partly corroborated the accepted story of Saint Agnes’s death. The medium stated she saw the Saint, a girl of thirteen, imprisoned under the Coloseum, where soldiers attempted assaults. Thence she was dragged from the walls and stabbed. In another vision she stated she saw St. Agnes teaching children in a marble hall, when soldiers entered, arrested, and imprisoned her. The scene was changed, and she saw a multitude rushing towards the Saint. They stopped and listened to her expounding the Scriptures. The medium stated that in other scenes she saw St. Agnes engaged in the construction of the Christian Church, and then appear with her parents in a public building in the midst of a multitude, tlieie being intense commotion.
