Fire Has Always Been And,

I Do Not Believe That Ghosts Or Spirits Exist.

I Am Not An Irretrievable Skeptic. I Am Not Hopelessly Prejudiced. I Am Perfectly Willing To Believe, And My Mind Is Wide Open; But I Have, As Yet, To Be Convinced. I Am Perfectly Willing, But The Evidence Must Be Sane And Conclusive.

No Prison Can Hold Me; No Hand Or Leg Irons Or Steel Locks Can Shackle Me. No Ropes Or Chains Can Keep Me From My Freedom.

But Then, So Far As I Know, I Am The Only Performer Who Ever Pledged His Assistants To Secrecy, Honor And Allegiance Under A Notarial Oath.

Only One Man Ever Betrayed My Confidence, And That Only In A Minor Matter.
