Meanwhile it may be interesting to quote from a published letter of Lascelles-Scott, the Government physicist from Forest Gate, who visited Keely's workshop in the interests of Science, and who was allowed to cut and bring away with him pieces of the wire Keely was using. The following is the essential portion of Mr Lascelles-Scott's letter.
But the yelping curs of Calumny that pursued Keely during his lifetime are still upon the dead man's tracks. "His methods were fraud and imposture, anyway"; "His wires were tubes containing compressed air," and so forth. The M.F.H. of this pack of hounds was the son of a lady whose name will always be honourably mentioned with that of Keely as one of his most generous supporters.
The inventor folded his arms across his chest and looked grimly at Colonel Dower. "I see. Go on." "Well, he got some wealthy men interested. A lot of them invested money big money in the Keely Motor Company. Every so often, he'd bring them down to his lab and show them what progress he was making and then tell them how much more money he needed.
This Doctor was a kind man and meant well, but it must have been ignorance that made him say beer could ever be used as a medicine. There was another, Dr. Kocile, in Medicine Lodge who used to sell all the whiskey he could. He made a drunkard of a very prominent woman of the town, who took the Keely cure.
"Something along the lines of what you have here," the colonel said dryly, "except that Keely at least had an explanation for where he was getting his power. Back around 1874, a man named John Keely claimed he had invented a wonderful new power source. He called it a breakthrough in the field of perpetual motion. An undiscovered source of power, he said, controlled by harmony.
Occultists including Madame Blavatsky always declared this latent atomic energy was a fact, but that Keely would never be allowed to demonstrate it, for the world was not yet prepared for such a tremendous dynamic force to be let loose upon it, and that the most serious abuses and disasters would follow, if once he succeeded in bringing his discovery into practical working order.
Therefore, on the outer plane, my connection with Keely never went beyond a single interview with his wife; but this is a record of personal intuitions as well as of personal events, and I know no one with regard to whom my intuitions absolutely lacking in any physical ground of proof, or even mental ground of comprehension have been stronger or more obstinate.
Then there is a third reason. There is another who, I believe, has discovered how to make this force loosen its grip on the particle that is Keely, of Philadelphia, in the United States " "What! You don't mean the Keely motor man?" cried Jennie, laughing. "That arrant humbug!
On the contrary, I stated more than once the very definite opinion that Mr Keely has demonstrated to me, in a way which is absolutely unquestionable, the existence of a force hitherto unknown. Moreover, I satisfied myself that the rotation of the "vibrodyne" was neither due to, nor accompanied by, any traces of electricity or magnetism.
The initial misfortune in the whole matter was the forming and starting of the Keely Motor Company to utilise the discovery, which should first have been placed under the protection of Science. Ignorant and impatient shareholders thought only of their own material advantages and dividends.
