16.1.4. TEST NUMBER FOUR: SOLVING TEE MURDER
********************************************
This is an intriguing combination test that requires a fair-sized group. One person plays the part of murderer, while another is the victim. An odd object, say a pocket comb, is chosen as the murder weapon, and a spot is chosen for the body. Usually this is simply a chair, where the Victim can take his place like any other person present, though he might be taken into another room, or actually hidden in a closet.
The “murderer” and “victim” put on their act for the group, while the demonstrator is absent. The man acting as transmitter is, of course, present, and watches the “crime.” The killer stabs or shoots his victim with the weapon, the victim clapping his hand to the spot where he has been wounded. The murderer hides the weapon, and then hides the body, the victim obligingly cooperating in that process.
The demonstrator is then brought in, and gripping the transmitter’s arm, he re-enacts the entire crime, due to the usual guidance. This is generally done in reverse, the demonstrator first finding the “body,” then the “wound” then the “weapon” and finally Be “murderer.”
This test was a favorite with Washington Irving Bishop, the famous mind reader of the 1880’s, who could even trace the “Weapon” from one hiding place to another, if the “murderer” tried to throw him off the trail. Yet it can be worked today by anyone fairest proficient in contact telepathy.
