{{Style P-No indent|Editor Banner of Light:}}
I am very sorry you hesitate to believe the narrative of Katie King relating to her connections with the Holmes’ mediums. Your doubts arise from a want of knowledge of all the facts. No one, I suppose, questions the purity of your motives; but your hesitancy to denounce that heartless swindle has a tendency to produce a wrong impression in the minds of the readers of the Banner, That the supposed manifestations of materialized spirits, given through Mr. and Mrs. Holmes, were fraudulent, not one Spiritualist or other person here, who has any sense, or whose opinion is to be regarded as of the smallest value, doubts. The reason is, that the people here were familiar with those manifestations given bv the lady, whom the mediums represented to be Katie King, a materialized spirit; and as soon as the cheat was discovered, and they saw the real flesh and blood Katie, there was no trouble in recognizing her as being the same person they had so often seen in the cabinet.
