oner TO He hypnoIsed.
PARIS, Dec. 10-ln the Eyraud trial
to-day DIR. Liegois, head OF the medical
faculty of the college of Nancy, said he
was: a believer in hypnotization. He
explained his ideas on the subject and
expressed surprise that he had not been
allowed to see Mile. Bompard, tor the
purpose of ascertaining to what degree
she was susceptible to hypnotic inhu-
ence. The prisoner ought again to be
put to sleep by mesmerism in order to
revive her recollection of the facts oc-
curing at the moment of the confession
OF the crime, according to the indict
ment.
Eyriad had not been able to put Mile.

crime to him while hypnotized. For
his Uiegois) part, II he were judge,
bearing in mind the previous miscar-
riages OF justice, he would rather cut off
his right hand than pronounce sentence
upon Mile. Bomp pard.
When the sensation which this deola-
ration caused had subsidized tho pro-
cureur asked by what scientific means it
would be determined whether hypnotic
sleep is real or simulated.
Liegois replied the subject really put
to sleep can bear, without the betraylng
of any. symptoms Of sensibility to pain,
pin pricks in various portions OF the
body.
DR.. Brourdel was called and said he
had little esteem of the theory of hyp-
notism. Liegeois' statements wanted
scientific proof and Brourdel was not in
favor OF again hypnotizing the prisoner.
as he did not wish to run The risk of let
ting the audience hear revelations tn at
might be a surprise to the accused,
Drs. Mollet and Ballet shared his
views and thought the case too compli-
Gated TO have been committed under
hypnotized influence.
Mile. Bompard's counsel and counsel
for Eyraud Jointly requested the woman
to be hypnotized in court. The court
after consultation, refused the request.

Martin Savoris became violently insane
at noon yesterday on First street, and
was taken to the police station. On
arrival at headquarters the officer took
his prisoner into the Chiefs Office. While
he officials were talking together Savoris
made dash for liberty, and succeeded
in reaching the stairway leading up to
the officers reading room, when Officer
Mcguire grabbed him. The Frenchman
resisted, and rough and tumble fight
ensued, during which Savoris managed
to get to the front door of the station and
smashed the transom. Finally, however
he was overpowered by four officers and
thrown into cell. As his caprors turned
to leave the jail, Savoris made rush and
struck Mcguire blow in the left eye,
which placed the officer hors de combat.
Miss @. A. Schnick, milliner at the
corner of Hill and Fifth streets, was taken
into custody for insanity yesterday morn
ing. She was quite violent, and will be
examined before the commission today.
