The Rev. Jones I. J. Corrigan of Boston College told the Young Men's Catholic Association that psychology rejects spiritism as fraud. He argued telepathy among the living only, not with the dead, and warned that subconscious mind phenomena explain alleged spirit manifestations. He criticized spiritist impostures and noted the 5000 offer to Sir Oliver Lodge as a test against fraud.
