HYPNOTISTS Ft 10 AWAKEN DEAD Woman and Two Men Spend aMOIAA O v "Subject" Who Expired jAH ARTERY AT HEART BROKEN : A Case of Dsep Interest to Physicians | —Theories Advanced Before the Autopsy Showed Cause of Death— Hypnotists' Efforts to Revive Man. Somerville, N. J., Nov. 16.—'Two men and a woman stood for hours be sides a corpse in the morgue of the Somerville hospital snapping their fin gers and clapping their hands above the livid face and taking turns at try ing to call the man back to life, first by whispering and then shouting in the heedless ear that he was living, that his heart was beating, that his trance was over. Impatiently awaiting the end of these weird Incantations were the sur geons, all ready with their knives sharpened, to dissect the body, for the routine purpose of getting at the cause of death on the records, for the use of the grand Jury in the case of manslaughter against Arthur Everton, a vaudeville professor of liynotism, whose "subject," Robert Simpson, of Newark, had died the night before in the Somerville Theatre, after being putin a cataleptic state on the stage, placed across two chairs and jumped on by the professor. The real wause of death, as revealed by an autopsy after Everton's wife and two friends had tried in vain to restore the subject, was a three-quar ter inch rupture of the aorta or main artery of the heart. Whether that had been caused by Evorton's jump ing on the man, the County Physician, Dr. W. H. Long, Jr., woulu not at tempt. to say. The autopsy also show ed tiiat all of Simpson's organs were in a state of extreme debility, due to alcohol. At the close of the fatal vaudeville performance Everton was putin the Somerset County jail, where he raved all day, declaring that his subject was not dead, but that the surgeons would kill the man with their knives and he would be found guilty of murder. So the uncanny finger sna'pping and the frantic whisperings were not, pri marily, to save the dead man, but to free the hypnotist. A woman in the trio that undertook the impossible task was Mrs. Everton, the prisoner's wife. The men were Wiiliam E. Dav enport. a hypnotist, who had hurried out from East Orange in response to a message from his friend in liie Somerville Jail, and a man named Sal sarte, Everton's manager. Before they came, another hvpno : ttst, Edward Pelharn, had also tried to undo what had been done in the the atre. Pelham is Everton's competitor in the "Professor of Hypnotism" litie.
