BODY FOUND IN A DREAM.

SISTKR SEES DKAL) BROTHER.

Evidence of great interest to students of the occult was given at an inquest at Wolverhampton recently on benjamin Plitntner, who was found hanging in a disused cellar at his father's home after having been missing for two weeks. When his father last saw him, on March 2, he said he was going to Middlesborough to look for work.

Addressing the cotoner and jury, the father said; “1 never go down the cellar at my own house as a rule, but yesterday my daughter said she had dreamed about her brother being in the cellar and seeing him there in a dream,

I then went down into the front cellar and then into the back cellar and found him hanging there. I went up the steps ana Thomas Johnson weut for assistance."

Mr Plimmer lives with his daughter and another son. Neither this son nor the daughter saw the young mau Benjamin in the house on March 2, but as the father left the door ou the latch it would have been easy to pass in. When the body was found it was hanging from a beam by a piece of string. Miss Flintmer's dream was described by the father, but the young woman herself was not called. (Questioned later by a pressman she told the story in detail.

"I was worried in the night by the dream,” she said, “and 1 saw my brother, and woke up in a fright. When i got up next morning I went 1 amid and told ray sister about it, and said, ‘l’ll toil father, too.’ I told father about it- I said I had seen my 'mother in my dream, and asked if he had looked in the cellar. ’.No,’ he said, ‘1 never use it : we do not gq down but 1 will look to pacify you.’

“My father came 'hack from the cellar screaming, auct they went and cut my brother down,” “Did you dream your brolher had hanged himself Miss l lim mer was asked,

“Yes,” she replied, “I saw him hanging in the cellar in my dream, nod then I woke up in a frig hi.’'

Miss Plimmer added that since her experience she had felt anything but well.
