BUINAI BACK AGAIN.
The following ghost story from last
night’s Bridgeport Evening Post will
be of interest to spiritualism:
“Does Boinay’s spirit, unablehto find
rest in the “undiscovered country”
haunt the scenes of his crimes, fund
has it reincarnated itself for the time
being in aged John Luther, who now-
resides at the old Weeks’ home in
Trumbull? '
Mrerane Griffin, who resides on
I Golden Hill street in this city, - an-
swers'these questions in the affirma-
tive, and she says she has had two
messages from her mother, who is in
"the spirit world, to that effect.
So convinced is Mrs. Griffin that the
revelations are true, which she de-
clares. were obtained from her m0th_-
er’s spirit, that she has laid the mat-
ter before the police of this city and
the deputy sheriffs of Trumbull and
Huntington.
Mrs. Griffin saw Capt. Arnold this
morning and told him her story. The
captain directed her to Deputy Sheriff
Arthur E. Plumb of Trumbull, and to
him she repeated the story told to the
detective.
Mrs. Griffin also saw Deputy Sheriff
Selah‘ G Blakeman of Huntington,
whose territory is also said to have been
invaded by the restless spir1t of the
man who killed George M. Nichols.
Col. Blakeman was not inclined to put
much stock in the story told by Mrs.
Grilfin,although she is terribly in earn-
est about it. Bat he heard it to the
end and finally promised to make some
investigation into the affairs of the Lu-
ther family. .
It appears that '.\f rs. Griffin 15 a.rc~
cent convert to spiritualism. She was
formerly a member of the- Methodist
church, but left that denomination to
connect herself with those who believe
in spiritualism. .
According to the story told by the
officers Mrs. Griffin had the {first visit
from her mother’s spiritlast- December
At that time Mr. Luther, who is a
friend of the Griffin family, was quite
ill and was not expected torecover.
In the conversation which followed
between mother and daughter, the
older woman said that Mr. Luther
would dieon Jan. 3. Mis. Griffin firm-
ly believed what her mother had told
her and she expected that Mr. Luther
would shuffle 011' this mortal coil on the
date named.
But Jan. 3Came and
Luther was still alive, although he had
a terribly hard time of it on that day,
and the whole family expected him to
went and Mr.
pass away at any moment.
After the date named Mr.
Mrs. Griffin did
not quite understand it at first But,
according to her story to the officers,
Luther
began to recover.
later when Mrs. Griffin’s mother paid
her the second visit in the spirit form.
Mrs. Griffin realized, the moment her
mother’s spirit appeared that it had a
tale to unfold whose {lightest word
would harrow up her soul.-
The spirit saidhthat Mr. Luther
really dead, that his spirit had passed
out of the body on Jan. 3 and was
now in the land from whose bonrne
no traveller is supposed to return.
Then came the awful part of the story.
The spirit. 'continuing, said that the
spirit. of Boinay, unable to find rest
in the other world, had returned to
this world and had been hovering
about the scene of his brief married
life with the girl who was Maggie
Weeks and' is now a valiant worker in
the Salvation army cause in the West.
Boinay’s spirit, said \Irs. Griliin s~
visitor, has been waiting for a chance
to locate in somebody and the death
of Mr. Luther gave it the chance. The
fnoment Mr. Luther’s spirit dropped
its earthly form Boinay’s ghost took
it up: I
. Mrs. Griffin’s mother further stated
that Boiuay had not in any way reform-
ed since his spirit reached the unknown
world. It had entered Mr. Luther’s
form for the purpose of resuming the
nefarious jobs which characterized the
career of the young man while on earth
before. The spirit feared Mr. Luther
might harm his family and advised
Mrs. Griffin to warn the authoi ities
and the Luther family.
M rs. Griffin said she had already
was
out but they had not taken any notice
of her. She accordingly decided to
lay the entire matter before the author-
ties.
Mrs. Griffin told her story in a very
serious manner. She firmly believes
that she has seen her mother’s spirit
and received a warning, and she thinks
rie at the bank.

; The following sensational article re-
fleeting upon a well known young man
of Norwalk appeared in Saturday’l
Stamford Advocate: l
Alice Broadhurst is 22 years of age,
good-looking and has many friends.
She has a father and mother living in
New Canaan and lived with them until
about six months ago, when she ob-
tained employment at Mrs. Briggs"
boarding-house on Atlantic street. She
was there from that time until yester—
day afternoon. Alice had been “keep-
ing a span y” for over a year past with
Ends. ick C. Castle of Norwalk. Castle
is a shoemaker, and is employed in
the South Norwalk factory of Louusr
bury, Mathewson & 00., of which Gov.
Lou'nsbury is the chief owner. He
boards with his parents at 38 Adam's
avenue.
Some time ago, it was announced that
Castle and Alice were engaged to. be.
married. There was no effort madet'o
have anything kept quiet about the
afiair and most of the girl’s friends
here knew of it. Last Thursday was
fixed upon as the day for the Wedding,
and according to arrangement it'wa‘s
to take place in Stamford Wednesday
evening. Castle came down to see the
girl, and he spent some time with her:
When he went away it was supposed
that all the arrangements had been
completed for the wedding. It was not
to be an elaborate affair, but the girl
had made considerable preparation for
it. When the hour arrived for the
ceremony, Castle didn’t put in an ap-
pearance. The girl waited for him for
some time, and then efforts were made
to communicate with him, but with-
out avail. Since Wednesday nighathe
girl has not heard a word from him.
Yesterday, she left Mrs. Briggs’s em-
ploy and returned to her parents in
New,Canaan.
‘ Miss Broadnurst was seen at her
home in New Canaan,t this morning,
by an vAdvocate reporter. When the
reporter broached the subject to her,
she had a faraway look in her eyes,
and would give the impression that
marriage was the last thing in the
world she had been thinking of}
She said she did not know what the
"reporter was driving at. For a time
she played her part well, but she drop—
ped a remark here and there which
showed that the story, as related above
is correct.
"Why, I would have no intention of
getting married, at least, until I get a
fellow who wants me,” she said.
Among other things, Alice said that
she had not been down here in twelve
weeks, but she must have been just a
little bit excited when she made this
statement. Thursday night she left
here on the train that reaches New
Canaan at 9.30.
Frederick Castle was communicated
with by telephone. Hefiappeared even
less willing to talk about the affair
than did Alice, and he had the drop on.
the newspaper man, for when he was
being drawn out, he shouted a spiteful
“goodby” and hung up the ’phone. It
was noticeable that as soon as any
mention was made of Miss Broad-
hurst, Castle found much fault with
the connection, and could not hear
nearly so well as in the early part of
the conversation. .
Mr. Fred C. Casule was seen by
GAZETTE reporter Wednesday morning
and pronounced the above'storyafabri-
cation from beginning to end. Mr.
Castle further stated that he had neve r
met Miss Broadhurst in his life; did not
know her and knew nothing whatever
about any such proposed wedding. He
hinted, however, that another party
had evidently been using his name in
courting Miss Broadhurst.
