today was widely 1IbcuhhoJ in
spllitualiHtlc circles.
Whether identifications of Sir
Arthur will bo possible by means
of flngorprlnts if he communicates
from the other world was one of
the questions. It was understood
that Hlr Arthur was much impress
cd by the fingerprint method used
by the American medium Margery.
Borne of his friends believe he
left his own fingerprints so that
uny. communication ho might muke
anqr death could be confirmed
incontcstably from being stumped

which would guard thorn against
