SRN ENN HEAR EN I was putting electric wires into the A Good Investment. house of a gentleman named Endriss, living’ in a fashionable street in London, when one day he invited me into his library, poured me out a glass’ of wine and then had a story to relate. From his statements it appeared that his mother, who was an:old: lady of 75, had long been a member of @ certain: charitable. organization, .and’ certain members of it had secured an undue influence over her. She was being persuaded to buy and deed the society a certain house and lot Yalued at about £3,000, and the son’s arguments and protestations had brought about strained relations. The long and short of it was, I think, that the son did not want the money to go out‘of the family, and he had set his-wits to work to invent some: scheme ‘to defeat the old lady’s intentions. He had got the scheme and now desired my assistance to! carry #t out. ‘The house stood alone on a darge plot of ground and had not been tenanted for several years. The mother was a superstitious woman, who was guided by dreams and omens and had once seen a ghost, and the son proposed to. knock her project in the bead by producing a haunted house.

I found the cellar divided by four partition walls, and the rooms were gloomy enough to look at. It was an ideal place for spooks. Down in one corner of the yard was a toolhouse, with a door in the wall opening upon a comfaoks and after spending a couple of hour H dente the place I reported ‘to Mr. Endtiss that 1 could give him the hauntedest haunted house ever known in England. ‘That door opening on the . eommons and the high wall around the grounds gave me an opportunity to come and go and do my work without much risk of observation. The toolhouse had a garret -to it, which was dark\and damp, and entrance to it was effected by a trapdoor and a ladder, and I took this attic for my headquarters. Thither I carried my electric batteries and other paraphernalia, and for a week I was busy running wires and locating spooks. It tested my ingenuity to run wires along the walls and up and down the trunks of trees and into the house in such a manner that they should be safe from all other eyes, but I carried this matter out very successfully. I had to rip up the flooring and get into the partitions here and there, but my tools lett Gallery no trace behind. ¢ Ladies Free.

Every night for six weeks parties of from two to ten paid money for the privilege of hearing the spooks. In one instance two young bloods paid £15 apiece to have the house to them-4 selves for three hours, and I gave them their Money’s worth. In another instance a party of 25 was made up at £2 per head, and I routed the whole gang with two long drawn moans as I exhausted the air in an iron cylinder placed im one of the partitions, No one left that haunted house disap. . pointed.

The lord mayor of London wasn’t in it compared with the Duff house, ~ Q Mr. Endriss’ mother weakened early in the game. She didn’t propose to buy haunted houses for anybody, and in this case she felt that murder must have been committed and she might in some ‘way be héeld'as accessory after the fact. In fact, she went right back on her society and turned the money over to. her son, and then we had ‘no further use for the house.

The toolhouse had a garret -to it, which was dark\and damp, and entrance to it was effected by a trapdoor and a ladder, and I took this attic for my headquarters.
