One Hour in the Past E503 – Electric Vehicles

A group of people taking part in a séance. A woman, Jenny O'Hara Pincock, sits on the right, taking notes. She's wearing a dress and long pearl necklace. Her hair is short. Her image is slightly blurred. Next to her is a man with a moustache (William Carthueser) in a suit with his eyes closed. He is seated. A young girl wearing a dress is leaning against his leg. Her eyes are closed. A woman (sister Minnie Maines) wearing a dress is kneeling behind the girl, also with her eyes closed. A man (Fred Maines) with a suit and tie is standing being the group looking at the camera. They look to be in a living room.
