REMARKABLE VISION.
MEUSTIIA.M TUNNEL TLiAGEDY. SEEN I.V A CRYSTAL. The story of ii most vivid mill astonishing experiment, the vision of the Merstham Tunnel murder, which 'was seen in the crystal and described by two relatives of the victim, Miss May Money, is as follows;—On this occasion the writer accompanied the medium to the bouse of the relatives, and was livesent at the seance, a record of which, written by him. appeared on the same evening. Illlth September. 11)03. in the columns of the Pall Mall Oazcttc. The medium took with him the identical crvxtiil in which he had seen, five years ■before, the body of Mr. Foxwel)'. the missing stockbroker. He held it, as he sat in a corner of the room in a"n armchair, in both hands, half bending over it, and looking into its milky depths.
After a moment or two I asked him whether he could see anything. ''Yes; 1 can." lie replied; "but before 1 snv what it is 1 want to see whether the friends can see it, too." There were in the room n young man and a young woman, close relatives; of Miss Money. Neither hud ever looked' into a crystal, nor had they any experience of the subject. To the man 1 said, "Look Over Mr. Yon Bourg's shoulder, and tell me what, if anything, you can see." .lie stepped up to the medium and, for a moment, gazed over his shoulder Into the crystal steadily. Of a sudden \i v exclaimed ill tones of swift and certain conviction, "Yes. I do sec something. 1 see ;i. train moving through a tunnel, and in one of the carriages a man and a woman.'' 1 beckoned to the lady, the other relative in the room. The vision was as clear to hvr as to the other. And all the time the train, they told me. was moving. Like two persona looking a t a picl nre-hook and describing each picture as they turned its leaves, so these two relatives of the murdered girl gave me. without pause or hesitation, a vivid narrative of the vision they saw—the struggle in the train, the man's hand on the woman's shoulder, the carriage door Hung open, and the woman thrust out.—l'\ A. 11. E\les. in "Crime and the Crystal," in the -Strand Magazine for Februarv.
