Subject Discussed by the Medico
Legal Congress.
WIDE DIVERGENCE OF OPINION I
A Baltimore Physician Tells of Having
Caused a Bank Cashier to Steal $45,000
While Hypnotized-Dcadly Bacteria
as an instrument of Murder.
NEW YoiiK, Sept. 7. At tho medico legal
congress Dr. Giblor mid that bacteriology
should bo very curef ally considered from n
criminal point of view, for biicterln oould
bo used more easily and with more cortnin
deadly results by murderers than nrsenio,
antimony or nny other poison. "Bacteria
could bt turned," said lie, "to moro deadly
account than dynamite. Any plngiio or
disease could bo introduced by tho moro
throwing in water or milk of cultivated
baccllls. Bacteriologists should keep their
cultivations as carefully locked up and un
der Avntch as their persons."
Tiio afternoon session was opened with
tho rending of a paper by Clark Boll on
hypnotism in tho courts of law. Mr. Bell
sent a letter to sovcrul prominent physi
cians, asking:
"Can crime bo committed by tho hypno
tizcr, tho subject being tho unconscious
and Innocent ngent and instrument? If
tho subject is unconscious, nnd oven un
willing, has tho hypnotlzor such power
and domination over tho hypnotized as
could control action to tho oxtent of tho
commission of a crime? Is it posslblo to
rflmovo by hypnotio suggestion from tho
mind of tho subject all memory of acta or
occurrences which linppen In tho hypnotio
stato? Would It bo posslblo for a hypno
tlzor to so control a hypnotized subject as
to, for example, make him sign a will in
tho prosenco of a third person, declare it
to bo his will, nnd to request them to sign
ns attesting witnesses, nnd bo nftorwnnl
wholly unconscious of tho occurrences? Ur
a noto of hand or a check?"
Replies in tho nffirmntivo were received
from several eminent professors, whilo
others, conceding that persons in a hyp
notio stato nro constantly iimenaulo to con
trol by suggestion, denied that hypnotism
has nny place In criminal jurisprudence ns
a defenso for crlmo. Mr. Bell pointed out
thnt it appeared that tho majority of med-
leal men in this country did not rocognizo
hypnotic trnnco ns an oxlstlng fact. Tho
lawyers and judges wero on tho samo
ground as tho doctors. In tho countries of
Europe tho contrary was the fact, and men
of tho highest chnracter and professional
attainments devoted their best efforts to
its study nnd elueldntlon. As it was witli
tho professional men, so it was with tho
peoplo.
Professor Carl Soxtus, of Chicago, wroto
to say that a natural criminal could bo
made to do criminal acts under hypnotio
inilueuco, but not a person of real moral
worth.
Dr. William Leo Hownrd, of Baltimore,
said that hypnotism was n reality. Ho
gavo several instancos of hypnotized per
sons in Baltimore, including nis own
servant, whom ho sent to a neighboring
physician's to steal everything tho doctor
had. Ho rostorcd tho fellow whilo ho bad
tho nrticlos still in ills possession. Tho
doctor confessed it affected tho man's brain
Bomowliat, but ho always took caro, oxcept
on this occasion, to get tho subject back
Into a good mental stato beforo no com
pletely restored him. Tho doctor also
hypnotized a bank cashier and mado him
steal $15,000. Ho performed an operation
in tho Johns Hopkins university with tho
patient under hypnotio infiuenco. Hyp
notism was lnvaluablo ns n corrector of
morals.
Dr. G rover, of Massachusetts, told of a
young lady in Boston who had a tendency
to tuberculosis being cured by hypnotio
lniluonco. '

Nr.w YonK, Sept. 7, 12 a. m. No event in

widespread interest as the five races arranged
between tlio Defender and tho Valkyrie.
Both yachts lay calmly In the Horseshoe
near Sandy Hook all night chafing under tlio
restraint of thoir cables, each bearing with
her the lienor and the hopo of a continent.
Ono is the proud challenger for tlio most
coveted trophy that over was sailed for and
tho other lias worthily won her way to tlio '
proud place of defending tho cup that for
forty-four years has been the attesting proof
of the yachting supremacy of botli tho
old and now worlds. For a year the nice lias
eclipsed in interest overy other sport. For
fivo months tlio host dosigners, tlio mot
expert sailmakers, tlio ablest seamen, have
been drafted Into sorvico on either sido until
last night all parties to tlio coutost rested
satisfied that thoy had exhausted overy
resource that wealth and ingenuity could
suggest and that both boats wore as perfect
as human hands could mako them. It has
been agreed that the British boat will allow
tlio American yacht twenty-nine seconds

AROUSED INDIGNATION.
A Child Ituu er Through Carelessness
of Its Guardian.
At noon to-day a four-year-old child named
Echom was run over by a buggy on North
Main street under circumstances that aroused
tho indignation of tlio peoplo who witnessed
the accident. The child was riding in the
carriage with i man named Joseph Holl'inan
residing on South Bowers street. HoUman
was intoxicated and the horse was on a slow
trot with loose lines, practically taking its
own course. Tho carriage bounced over ono
of the hillocks left by tho work on tho wator
works and tho child's hat fell off. Tho child
reached out for it just as the carriage bounced
over another mound and was thrown beneath
the carriage, ono of the rear wheels passing
over its stomach! Hotrmau did not realize
what was going on until aftor tho child was
run over, and then ho pulled up the horse
51. F. Maley, tlio jeweler, and others hastened
to tlio child's assistance and uphmided tho
man for his carelessness. Tho child was un
able to stand but i not thought to bo danger-
ously injured. It was placed in tho carriago
and HotI'man drove home. Tho child bus
been in care of tho mail's family. Hoffman
said that he couldn't look after the child and
take care of the horse ; which was quite
true, as ho appeared quito unable to take caro
of either.

Shenandoah can now boast of four volunteer
fire companies. The fourth whs organized at
Turkey Itun a few days ago and is on a fair
way to become very valuable to the residents
of that distant, but somewhat important
section of the borough. A few years ago the
site of tliis rapidly extending section was
hardly considered in connection with the bor
ough affairs and was a barren dividing lino
at tlio Gllbertou borough limit. Since then
many families have located there, leased
ground, erected homes and prospered gener
ally. It is now an important factor in
Fourth ward politics, lias a representative in
tlio Borough Council, who is Patrick Kerns,
and who, by tho way, is tho first Councilman

schools in tlio placo and a lino of tiio public
water works lias been extended there, lto-
ccntly a branch of tho United Mine Workers
