THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPHPH1LADELPII1A : SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1870.
MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
'Whether I am I, is a question which most
cf us can answer with tolerable confidence;
and yet it has puzzled physicians and meta
physician very considerably. We are told
that all the material particles, all the carbon,
hydrogen, nitrogen, and so forth composing
the human body, change in the conrse of a
certain number of years; they enter into new
combinations. Materially or corporeally
speaking,''. I am not the same man that
I was ten years ago. My bodily weight
is made Tip of wholly different par
ticles, and I am not I; the I of 1870 is not
the same as the I of 1800; 1 am another
man altogether. As to the metaphysicians,
they have so mystified the world with the
synthesis of the I with the non I, the Ion
with the non.Ich, the ego with the non ego,
that nobody can make anything of the mat
ter. There waH a very good plan adopted,
according to lyrical authority, by the little
old woman who fell asleep on the king's
. highway. Being bewildered with a trick
which bad been played by a peddler, named
Stent, she resolved to make use of her little
dog as a test-proof of her personal identity,
an honest witness to show whether she was
really herself or not. She stated the case
thus:
If 1 be I,
As I do hope I be,
1 have a little dog at home,
Aud he knows me.
And then proceeds to argue:
If 1 be I.
He ll wiig his little tall;
Hut If I ie not I,
i He ll bark ami wall. v
The question of personal identity often re
solves itself into a mere case of imposture,
the case of pretending to be what we are not,
for the attainment of certain ends by indirect
means. This is a famous instrument in the
hands of the dramatist. Many and many a
plot, good, bad, and indifferent, tarns upon
some machination of this kind. The
audience are sometimes kept in the dark
tmtil the very last sceue; whereas in other
instances the dramatist prefers to let them
into the secret at once. In Scribe's
opera of the Crown Diamonds, so pleasantly
be jewelled with sparkling music by Auber,
the veritable Queen of Spain pretends to be
h, brigand's daughter; and her lover, innocent
fellow, has not the slightest suspicion of the
real truth until the dazzling scene of the
throne-room in the last act. Again,
in Lord Lytton's Lady of Lyons, we (the
audience) know all about the circum
stances which drove the gardener's son to
the personation of an Italian prince, and the
agony which Pauline De-ichapellos suffered
when she discovered the chuat; but as Claude
Melnotte, much to the satisfaction of every
body, is a good felldw at heart, everythiug
turns out well in the end.
The records of courts of justice present
multiplied instances more or less allied to
this in character. Bamfylde Moore Carew
(if his history be trustworthy, which is
doubtful) was a famous example of the bold,
unscrupulous personator. He could so
change the expression of his features, the
arrangement of his hair, the apparent balk
of bis person, the bend or curve of his
shoulders, the Bhape of his legs, his mien or
gait, and his general appearance, as to de
ceive everybody. On one occasion he so
pricked his hands and face, and so effec
tually rubbed in gunpowder and bay-salt, as
to appear exactly like a man Buffering se
verely from smallpox; thereby averting im
pressment as a seaman. When in America,
and dressed as a Quaker, he deceived all
the real Quakers in Philadelphia. On one
occasion, as a gentleman unknown in the
neighborhood, he visited Colonel Straage
wajs. The conversation turned upon the
notorious Bamfylde Moore Carew. The
colonel said ho knew him well, and would
never allow himself to be deceived as other
Sersons had been. The real Bamfylde, an
our or two afterwards, betook himself to
a gipsy haunt known to him in the neigh
borhood, and underwent a most thorough
personal transformation. He appeared at
the colonel's house as a wretched object,
all rags and tatters, leaning on crutches,
displaying a counterfeit wound on the leg,
and uttering piteous moans, lie received
charity from the colonel, who did not sus
pect the trick. Bamfylde again appeared
as a gentleman guest at the colonel s table
that evening, and announced what ha had
done. Bamfylde, who was well-known at
Mr. Portman's, near Blandford, appeared
there one day as a rat-catcher, and after
creating great amusement by his cleverness,
was addressed by a Mr. Pleydell, who ex
pressed pleasure at meeting the celebrated
Mr. Carew, whom he had never seen before.
'Yes, you have," says rtamfylde; who an
nounced that he was a certain wretched beg
gar to whom Mr. Fleydell had given charity
a few days before. Upon a declaration that
such a deception would not pass undetected
a second time, Bamfylde accepted the chal
lenge. Next day, Mr. Pley dell's servants
were called out to an old woman,'
who was leaning . on a crutch,
and dragging along three miserable chil
dren; she was so importunate, and the
children were to noisy, that the master came
out, spoke to her, gave her money, and sent
her away. It was not known that Bamfylde
and the old woman were one person until he
announced the fact at Mr. Pleydell's table
that same evening. So it was everywhere;
whether as a shipwrecked mariner, a Kentish
farmer impoverished by floods, or a clergy
man brought to distress by unavoidable
calamities, this strange man's disguise is de
scribed as all but impenetrable.
The touching story of the Beauty of Bat
termere presents an example of personation
for fraudulent purposes. In 1792 a volume
was published, under title of "A Fortnight's
Ramble," giving an account of a visit to the
Lake district of Cumberland. The toarist,
at the little inn at liuttermere, was waited
upon by a young girl of exquisite beauty,
fourteen or fifteen years of age; and he
wrote as he felt, about finding such a girl
under so humble a roof. When he went
again, a few years afterwards, be found her a
full-grown woman, more lovely than ever.
He also saw evidences that his book
had attracted visitors to the spot;
for there were scribbled verses on the
walls . of the inn, not only in English,
but in French, Latin, and Greek, all
in praise of the reigning beauty of the
Lakes. In 1802 the inn was visited by the
(so-called) Honorable Colonel Hope, brother
og the Earl of Ilopetoun; a handsome man,
with a very winning address. He proposed
to Mary and was accepted. Not long after
the marriage, he fell into the meshes of the
law, and proved to be a man named Hatfield,
who bad committed forgery, bigamy, aud a
long list of other crime?, which brought him
to the scaffold.
Ileal similarity of form and features, with
out any attempt at fraud or daceptiou,
is a different thing from the kind of per.
donation above adverted to. Shukespeare
made exoellent use of it in his ever-fresh
VuimO u of Errors. But concerning remark
able likeresKfH, it Hhonld always h born ii
icicd that two people who teem wonderfully
alike apart, will usually be found, when they
are brought together, to be very little alike,
or very much less so than was honestly sup
posed. Medical men are aware of the co-existence
of persons bearing a marvellous resemblance
one to another; and bo are judges and barris
ters. Disputed cases of the kind are by no
means uncommon. Early in the present cen
tury there were two men, Hoag and Parker,
so exactly or bo nearly alike that it was no
easy matter to know which was which. One
of them, a rogue, benefited by this resem
blance. Being apprehended for some crimi
nal offense, and placed at the bar, some of
the witnesses swore that the man before them
was Hoag; others swore that he was Parker:
as the benefit of the doubt generally goes
with the accused in such cases, the man was
acquitted.
Very considerable embarrassment some
times arises at coroners' inquests, owing to
the difficulty of settling the identity of the
deceased person. Three cases out of several
may be selected to show how honest persons
may be self-deceived.
There was an instance in 1817, in which the
dead body of a woman was found tied to a
boat, drawn up near Greenwich. At an in
quest consequently held, an old man came
forward and swore that the deceased was his
daughter, the wife of an ' out-pensioner.
He described a fierce quarrel which had
taken place between the married couple,
and in which he had interfered to avert
serious consequences; they left his house
together, and he had not since seen
the woman. Other persons also swore
that the deceased was the old mau's
daughter. The police were set upon the
track of the husband, who was away;
but they suddenly lighted upon the wife her
self, alive and well ! The old man and his
neighbors were all surprised at this fact; the
Coroner severely reprimanded them for the
blunder they had made; but it was admitted
that the personal resemblance between the
two women was considerable, even to the ex
istence of a mark on one arm. The deceased
body was not identified; nor was it known
whether the death was by murder or by
suicide.
In lKiit!, the coroner of Burton-on-Trent
held an inquest on the body of a man found
in the river near the town. Two respectable
men, who came to view the body, at once
announced it to be that of a brother of theirs,
who had been for a short time missing from
home. Their statement was believed, their
claim allowed; and they were permitted to
bury the body in Burton-on-Trent church
yard. The inquest was adjourned, in the
hope of obtaining additional evidence as to
the cause of death. When the jury reassem
bled, they were surprised to see the real
brother enter the room, alive and well. There
seems to have been no collusion here: the re
latives had been deceived by a great likeness;
and the parish repaid them the cost of the
luneral. In this, as in the last-mentioned
instance, failure attended all the attempts
made to identify the dead body, or to ascer
tain the cause of death.
Perhaps the Hackney Wick case, which
riveted public attention in 18G8, was one of
the most remarkable on record in regard to
the persistency with which . several persons
averted an identity, under circumstances
which would have necessitated a particular
man being three or four different men at one
time. There were some half -finished houses
near the Hackney Wick, or Victoria Park,
station of the North London Railway.
The builder, having determined to finish
them, went to one of the houses in
April of the above-named year, opened
it, and perceived a very offensive odor in the
passages and kitchen. A little search brought
to light a dead body in a large cupboard under
the stairs. The state of the body denoted
that death must have occurred two or three
months before. There was a scar over one
ey throw, such as might Lave been occasioned
by a fall or a bruise. The clothes were good,
but a little blood-stained; and an additional
odd boot was found dear the body. An empty
phial, labelled "laudanum: poison," was on
a shelf in the cupboard, with only just
sufficient liquid in it to permit of cbemioal
analysis. The person appeared to have been
about thirty-five years old, and five feet sir
inches high. At an inquest, shortly after
wards held, a carpenter deposed that, in
the preceding month of February, he had
seen a gentlemanly-looking man sitting ou
a heap of building materials near the un
finibhed houses, cutting up little bits of
wood, as a boy might do who was making
a boat. He. gave strange and incoherent
answers to some questions put to him;
but, as be was quiet and inoffensive in man
ner, aad was not seen again, the incident
went out of recollection.
But now ensued the extraordinary episode
of conflicting identification. The carpenter,'
on seeing the dead body, at once declared it
to be that of . the poor demented gentleman
whom he had seen two months earlier. A
lady came forward, and described a brother of
hers who had been missing from his home
for some months. He had another sister,
who lived at Hackney Wick, thojgh his own
residence was elsewhere. On seeing the
dead body, she pronounced it to be either
veritably her brother, or very much like him.
This ladys testimony was not incom
patible with that of the carpenter; but the
complication was now to come. A lady and
gentleman came forward to state that a man
had deserted his wife and family about eigh
teen months previously, taking away two
thousand pounds' worth of property with
him; they produced a photogTaph, which
struck those who saw it as possessing much
resemblance to the features of the deceased
person. But while this incident was under
consideration, the friends of an emigrant ap
peared, stating that be had returned from
New Zealand and then disappeared. Nothing
was done however, towards identifying the
body in this quarter. Dr. Ellis, physician to
St. Luke's Hospital, stated in evidence that
on the night of the 1st of February a
lunatic named Heasman had escaped from
the hospital in Old street, in a most extra
ordinary way, seeing that he must have
passed through six locked doorways, climbed
up a wall fifteen feet high, and jumped or
dropped on the pavement outside. Heas
man, however, was a Btrong active ina, of
thirty.five or forty years of age, and might
posbibly have accomplished what would be
beyond the muscular powers of most men.
Dr. Ellis, when he ' saw the dead body, at
once pronounced it to be that of Heasuiau,
wearing the same . clothes as . he had
worn at the hospital. On examining an old boot
found near the body, the name of Harnett
was Been written on the lining. Dr. Ellis said
that there was a man named Harnett lodged
im one of the fix rooms through which the
lunbtio must have paused in effecting his es
cape. Strong as this testimony was, a lady,
who had heard Dr. Ellis give his evidence,
nevertheless insisted that the deceased was
her husband, who had been missing for some
time; she' especially identified a peouliar
mark on one of the lingers.
Not enmo a witness who virinorfd th
' View Iuacu ly hi. Xma. A LuwujvX oi ucm-
man stated that the unfortunate man, though
sane on most subjects, had for many years
been under an hallucination that he had been
Eoisoned, and waa now dead speaking of
imself in the past tense. He wan married,
and bad a family of eight children. He bad
been an inmate of St. Luke's about eighteen
months. Like Dr. Ellis, this brother be
lieved the deceased to have been the lunatic
Heasman. In spite of all this, however, a
new witness, Mrs. Mary Anne Banks, dis
tinctly Bwore that the deceased waa her hus
band. He was a commercial traveller, who
had been for some time missing. She stated
that there was a general resemblance both in
form and features. She described (before
seeing the body) a very peculiar mark which
her husband had on one of his fingers; and
the deceased had exactly such a mark.
Her sisters, two married women, cor
robated her assertion that the deceased
was her husband Banks also comparing the
fingers, the features, the general contour of
face, the beard, the moustache, the chest, the
shoulders, all tallied. Whale the jury, utterly
bewildered, were considering this evidenoe,
another lady came forward, and showed a
photograph of a missing gentleman, much
more resembling the deceased than that
which had been produced from St. Luke's.
Mrs. Banks, and Mr. Heasman's brother,
both appeared on a subsequent occasion, and
each insisted on the truth of the respective
stories told. Cumulative testimony, how
ever, was forthcoming in support, of the
St. Luke's incident. Mrs. Heasman, wife
of the unfortunate man, not only corro
borated the, identity, but stated that the
name of Heasman, found on some of the
deceased man's nnder-olothing, was written
by herself, and that the dark-blue trousers
were the same which she had stitched with
the aid of a sewing-machine. Dr. Ellis,
once more, found that the deceased had lost
a tooth, exactly corresponding in position
with one lost by Heasman. The coroner
could not discern that any of the witnesses
would benefit by the death of the deceased;
he gave them all credit for being sincere,
however certain it was that some of them
must have been mistaken. The jury, after
a patient investigation, agreed with the coro
ner, that the deceased was the lunatic Heas
man; bnt they could not find how he had
come by his death, although they believed he
had poisoned himself. AU the Year Kouad.

To vhom it may conrtrn:
All the leading medical authorities recegnize the value
of diffusive atimal.nts. Numerous eminent physicians
and suigeons might be named who have advocated their
employment in the treatment of a large class of disorders.
No Dispensary is considered complete witnont them.
Tb.j are prescribed In all pnblio and private hospitals,
and administered by all bedside practitioners.
But the difficulty has been to obtain
Alcoholic Liquors Fare.
Tfce pungent aroma of the fusel oil and biting acids pre
sent in all of them can be scented as the glass is raised to
the lips. The nauseous flavor ef these active poisons is
perceptible to the palate, and a burning sensation in the
stomach attests their existence when the noxious draught
has gone down. Paralysis, idiocy, insanity and death are
the pernicious fruits of such potations.
Medical science asks tor a pure stimulant to use as a
specific which, while it diffuses itself through the system
more rapidly than any other known agent, is brought into
direct and active contact with the seat of disease. It is
the property of the stimulant to diffuse, and by the aid of
its peculiar nutritious component parts to invigorate,
n sulate, counteract and restore, and it is by the happy
union of the principle of activity with the principle of in
vigoration and restoration that enables a
