	After appearing many times, as stated, she asked that the light be lowered, and she would try to appear to us in full form. After a few moments, the members of the circle continuing to sing, the cloud-like appearance in front of the curtain was seen as on the previous evening, which seemed to concentrate until the dim but visible form of “Katie” was discernible to all who were present. The form was not as distinct as on the previous evening, and this was spoken of as it faded away. After a few moments the distinct form of “Katie” stepped out from behind the curtain, and, addressing the circle, asked in a clearly audible voice, “Can you see me now?” She was dressed in a robe of thin white texture, and her features were plainly recognizable by those who had seen her frequently before. She did not again appear after fading away before our eyes, and tlie séance closed. We at once entered and critically examined the parlor, and found everything precisely as it was immediately before the light séance commenced. Mrs. Holmes was in the bag, which was just as it was when secured by Mr. Dennis and myself before the circle began. The hands of Mrs. Holmes could not possibly have been out of the bag during the time when the arm and hand were being extended frequently through the aperture into the sitting-room and it was equally impossible for any accomplice of the medium to have done it.

I was particularly strick[?] by the fact that the sleeve of the dress on the arm was entirely different from that worn by Mrs. Holmes, the latter being a closely fitting black silk fabric and extending to the wrist, the former a gauze-like short white sleeve.

After appearing many times, as stated, she asked that the light be lowered, and she would try to appear to us in full form.

Mrs. Holmes was in the bag, which was just as it was when secured by Mr. Dennis and myself before the circle began. The hands of Mrs. Holmes could not possibly have been out of the bag during the time when the arm and hand were being extended frequently through the aperture into the sitting-room and it was equally impossible for any accomplice of the medium to have done it.

It must be borne in mind, also, that these séances were held at the private residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wood, and that there were no traps, contrivances, masks or other devices available for trickery or deception. Mr. and Mrs. Wood are most estimable and reliable persons, and would not for a moment tolerate the practice of the least deception in their home, and they both assured me that it was impossible, from their knowledge of what Mrs. Holmes brought with her, that she could have practiced any deception thoughtlessly charged against herself and husband.

Not only has Mrs. Holmes proven herself a genuine medium, but one of the most remarkable that has appeared since Modern Spiritualism ...wned upon the world. Single handed and ...one she has faced a storm of aspersion and denunciation such as few persons were ever called upon to endure. She has triumphantly rindicated[?], through the aid of her wonderful spirit guides, her claims of veritable mediumship, and has fulfilled wonderfully her part as a true woman and a noble wife.
