Raps indicated that the Spirit, George Christy, was present.  As one of those present played on the piano, the tambourine was played in the curtained space and thrown over the curtain; bells were rung; the guitar was thrummed a little.  At this time the Medium’s face was toward Mrs. Gillespie, and his right side toward the curtain.  His body was further in against the curtain than either of the others.  Upon being asked, Mrs. Gillespie again said she thought she still felt two hands upon her arm.

The guitar was then thrust out, at least the end of it was, at the bottom of the curtain, between Mrs. Gillespie and the Medium.  Mrs. Keeler drew away the curtain from over the toes of the Medium’s boots, to show where his feet were; the guitar was thrummed a little.  Had the Medium’s right arm been free, the thrumming could have been done quite easily with one hand.

Afterwards the guitar was elevated above the curtain; the tambourine, which was by Mrs. Keeler placed upon a stick held up within the enclosure, was made to whirl by the motion of the stick.  The phenomena occurred successively, not simultaneously.

When the guitar was held up, and when the tambourine was made to whirl, both of these were to the right of the Medium, chiefly behind Mrs. Gillespie; they were just where they might have been produced by the right arm of the Medium, had it been free.

Two clothes-pins were then passed over the curtain, and they were used in drumming to piano-music.  They could easily be used in drumming by one hand alone, the fingers being thrust into them.

The pins were afterwards thrown out over the curtain.  Mr. Sellers picked one up as soon as it fell, and found it warm in the split, as though it had been worn.  The drumming was probably upon the tambourine.

A hand was seen moving rapidly with a trembling motion—­which prevented it from being clearly observed—­above the back curtain between Mr. Yost and Mrs. Gillespie.  Paper was passed over the curtain into the Cabinet and notes were soon thrown out.  The notes could have been written upon the small table within the enclosure by the right hand of the Medium, had it been free.  Mrs. Keeler then passed a coat over the curtain, and an arm was passed through the sleeve, fingers, with the cuff around them, being shown over the curtain.  They were kept moving, and a close scrutiny was not possible.

Mr. Furness was then invited to hold a writing-tablet in front of the curtain, when the hand, almost concealed by the coat-sleeve and the flaps mentioned as attached to the curtain, wrote with a pencil on the tablet.  The writing was rapid, and the hand, when not writing, was kept in constant tremulous motion.  The hand was put forth in this case not over the top curtain, but came from under the flap, and could easily have been the Medium’s right hand were it disengaged, for it was about on a level with his shoulder and to his right, between him and Mrs. Gillespie.  Mr. Furness was allowed to pass his hand close to the curtain and grasp the hand for a moment.  It was a right hand.
