80 years ago.' ; The .boy' was placed in
an orphan asylum, but the. humiliation

service', remaining six years. He told
Judge Welch that he had been in al
most every portln the world. He felt
that he never wanted to see Troy again.
Before leaving China for 8an Francisco
a short time before the ; earthquake,
Carney sent home a letter announcing
that he would , take passage - for ! the
United States. No ; word was heard
from him afterward ' until recently,
when he sent a. souvenir post 1 card to
his sister In Troy., '
Meanwhile Mrs.. Anna B. Baker died.
When an attempt was made to find the
heirs," Carney was traced to San Fran
cisco. It was' concluded that he had
perished In the earthquake. .
When the will In the case of t3,000,000
estate of Mrs. Baker was probated in

that he was not dead. Several courts,
however, it is said, have declared him
dead in connections with the affairs of

Cornelius was married. Since then
he has made his home in Oklahoma
City, where, he Is known as a horse

and ohe of th,e earnest requests to. his
menus was that taev pay strict atten

in which he planned that the, dead self,
or . apint," should play a prominent
part He told of letters, he had writ
tea, and sealed, stating to : Professor
James Hyslop and others that their con-
tents were known to no -one but him
self. He , said he wanted them opened
one year after his death, but to prove
to the skeptical that there Is something
In spiritualism a "sitting" should be
arratted before the, date, of the break

said In the letters.

Professor Hyslop of 'this city will
conduct the tests and will , go to Lon

sittings. He has arranged with Mrs.
Leonora Piper, the much talked of me

quest of James. , She does not , know
what the letters contain, nMthey. tell

of Professor James, and he la, the only

Professor James seldorn talked about
spiritualism, but all ' who knew him
were aware that he was deeply Inter
ested In this phenomena thak miKht
throw some light on the eubJeTt. Great
Interest is attached by the followers
to the plan he has arranged.
Some skeptical persons have advanced
the theory that In some way the con
tents of the , letters have been com
municated to a second person or to
Mrs, Piper, but the likelihood Is very re
mote. It has been suggested he might
have thought so much of the letters
during' the week of Illness preceding his
death that the theme was mentally com
municated to another person.
Professor Hyslop was a lifelong
