CURIOUS HYPNOTISM.
A Prisoner Becomes and Remains c
conscious During His Trial.

A Prisoner Becomes and Remains Un-
conscious During His Trial.
PARIS. Nov. 13.-We read frequently Of
judges falling asleep during the hearing Of
a case, but for prisoner to be slumbering
peacefully during the whole Of his trial is
probably an unprecedented occurrence.
This curious spectacle was witnessed recent
ly in the Tenth police court, where a man
named Emile David was charged with ille-
kally personating barrister and common
swindliDg. After giving his name in answer
to the magistrate, the defendant ceased to
reply to the questions put 10 him, and his
counsel explained to the court that David
was fast asleep, although his eyes were wide
open.
The magistrate was Of course rather sus-
picious Of such an explanation, and in order
60 prove that his client was not shamming,
Maisre Raynaud placed his hands before
the prisoners eyes, aud drawing them slowly
back, caused him TO get up and leap over
the barrier which separates the dock from
the court. He was led back to his seat, but
It was found quite impossible to awake him.
Inc trial, however, was proceeded with,
and Maitre Raynaud, in David's defense,
explained that he was highly hysterical,
hypnotic subject, and that at times he
would remain for long periods in what is
known as the automatic ambulatory"
stage Of the disease.
This means that the patient, although in
state of complete somnolence, acts like an
ordinary individual, and can travel, carry
on conversation, or play cards, without
any one suspecting that he is asleep. On
awaking, however, he is entirely uncon-
| scious what he has done while in that con-
| dition. This David on one occasion trav-
eled from Paris to Troyes without being
| conscious Of doing 80, and on recovering his
senses discovered that he had lost his over
coat with a sum Of money in one of the
pockets. He had no recollection as to where
he had left the garment, but some months
later, on telling his story to a surgeon at the
