It appears obvious that the reporter for the Winnipeg Tribune heard William Branham make a claim in the meetings in Winnipeg in July 1947.  He sought to corroborate William Branham's claim but was unable to do so.  This appears common of many of William Branham's claims.  They are incapable of corroboration as there is no evidence to support them.
