AN OFFER TO SUICIDE
TO TEST SPIRITUALISM. [United Press Association — By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] (Received this day at LI a.m./ LONDON, December 30. i*l am willing to commit suicide to test the truth of spiritualism,” was the amazing declaration of a young man who walked into the office of the “Sunday Chronicle.” Don’t think J am mad. My family is down and out. Twenty pounds sterling will save them. Pay me in cash and I will throw myself from the Thames embankment and will then try to communicate from what ever existence I find myself in, order to test the claims of spiritualism’ he said. The story of a starving family was found ’to be true and the young man was persuaded to give up bis rash proposal.
