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.

16.1.3. TEST NUMBER THREE: FINDING HIDDEN OBJECTS
*************************************************
This is a favorite with skilled demonstrators. It is like picking an object, except that the object is hidden. Hence when the demonstrator becomes “warm” he must keep looking further, as under a rug, or in a person’s pocket, or whatever else he feels impelled to search. Again, he must draw this information mentally from the transmitter.
Sometimes this test is quite simple, the purpose being to find a specific object, such as a pin, which is not difficult, once the transmitter has guided the demonstrator to the hiding place. However, it can be presented as a highly spectacular test, say with the pin being hidden in a desk drawer in an office somewhere in a twenty-story building a mile away from where the test begins.
Even that does not have to be specified. It can all be done with “step-by-step” impressions, following certain streets, turning corners according to the transmitter’s guiding impulses, entering the right building, pushing the elevator button for the proper floor, stopping at the door of the office where the pin is hidden, and so on.
