DEATH OF ST AGNES
SEANCE IN CATACOMBS REMARKABLE VISIONS (Australian, and N.Z. Press Association) ROME, Monday. An attempt was made to revisualise historic events at an extraordinary seance. It recalled the martyrdom of St. Agnes, who was executed A.D. 309. The seance was conducted by Mr. Price, director of a psychic laboratory in London, with a medium, in the depths of the catacombs. The medium related 11 scenes which partly corroborated the accepted story of the death of St. Agnes. The medium said he saw the saint as •a girl of 13 imprisoned under the Colosseum, where soldiers attempted to assault her. She was then dragged out and stabbed. In another vision the medium said he saw St. Agnes teaching children in a marble hall. Soldiers entered and arrested her, and then imprisoned her. The scene changed, and the medium said he saw a multitude rushing toward the saint. The people stopped and listened to her expounding the Scriptures. In other scenes the medium said he saw St. Agnes engaged in the construction of a Christian church, and appear with her parents in a public building in the midst of a multitude •and intense commotion.
