HYPNOTIC SWINDLING.
Remarkable Story of Undue In
Huence Told in a Chicago
Law Suit.
The Alleged Victim Said to Have
Been HypnOtiZed by Il
Lawyer.

CHICAGO, March 21.-A remarkable
instance of undue influence, exercised
for fraudulent purpose, is alleged in a
suit brought by James w. Dixon. of
New York, who claims that his brother,
Henry W. Dixon, is being illegally
restrained by Henry a. Root,
New York lawyer, and that
the latter has defrauded his
victim out of large sums OF money. The
recital of the complainant covers a
period of eight years, during which
time it is claimed Henry w. Dixon has
been made the victim of hypnotic pow
er. The foundation of the story occurs
in this city, where $4,000, the remnants
of DiXon's fortune, is on deposit, and
>fOrmS the basis of the controversy. The
money was deposited about year ago
by Henry w. Dixon and Mr.. Root. since
which time Mr.. Root, it is said. has at
tempted to get possession of it, the bank
refusing to give 1t up, holding that both
men were necessary, under the agree
meRt, to secure the deposit. In addi
ton, the company was notified of the
appointment of James w. Dixon COM
mittee i'll lunacy of Henry w. Dixon, at
Flushing, n. Y.
Henry w. Dixon took up his abode,
according to his brothers. story. with
Lawyer Root in 1884, being induced
soon after by Mr.. Root to mortgage a
piece of valuable property to him for
$4,000. 1t is declared further that Root
coerced Mr.. Dixon into conveying this
property to the New York Mutual Life
Insurance company for $4,000, the
former receiving the entire amount.
The last transaction between the two,
of which there is record, is statement
in which Mr.. Dixon gives Root $50, 900
and whatever balance is due from the
sale of railroad stocks, in the event of
DiXon's death. Dixon has disappeared,
and it is said he is being detained by
the undue influence Of Root. The COM
plainant prays that he may have the re-
lief asked for. and that Henry A. Root
be required to make known the where
abouts of Henry w. Dixon.
Until three years ago Henry A. Root
practiced law in this city. In 1890 he
had an Office at 10 Wall street. When |
left there it was understood that he had
fallen into fortune somewhere in the
West and had gone to Montana. Since
then his friends i'll this city, so far as
could be learned this afternoon, have
not heard from Root who was a lawyer
of excellent repute when in this city.

INSURANCE CORRUPTION.
State superintendent Mcbride
Charged With Dereliction.


Charged With Dereliction.
Topeka, Kan, March 21.-The inves-
tigation started by the POpulists' COM
mittee is taking wide scope. The
state superintendent of insurance, Nc
Bride. the only Republican state officer
holding over, is now charged with dere-
LECTION OF duty and incOmpetency and
Gov. Lewelling requested to remove him.
Mcbride says the Mutual Reserve Fund
Insurance company, which has been un-
able to comply with the law and there
fore unable to do business in Kansas, is
back of this matter. 1t will be shown
in the evidence. so it is claimed, that
Harper, the president of the company,
offered to pay large sum into the Re
publican campaign fund in Kansas last
fall if Mcbride would admit the Mutual
Reserve. Some interesting disclosures
will be made.
New YORK, March 21.-The dispatch
from Topeka, Kan, today, stating that
President Harper, of the Mutual Re-
serve Fund Life association, offered to
pay large sum for campaign purposes
last fall if he (McBride) would allow the
Mutual Reserve Fund to transact busi-
ness in Kansas. This dispatch was
shown to Mr.. Harper at his Office in this
city. He denied the charge in the fol-
lowing explicit manner:
II deny that l or any one OF the Mu-
tual Reserve company has bribed or at
tempted 70 bribe either Mr.. Mcbride or
any other human being"

MAXWELL'S JOB.
More Than 5000 Registrations of
Postmasters to Pass Upon.


WASHINGTON, March 21.-Robert A.
Maxwell. whose nomination as fourth
assistant postmaster general was yester-
day confirmed by the senate, was at the
pOstoffice department this morning and
expressed his purpose to take formal
charge of the Office tomorrow. 1t is
learned that there are on file in the de-
partment more than 5000 designations
of pOStmaSters, many of the fourth class,
and that these cases will be considered
and disposed of before any cases of re-
movals are taken up. Very few of the
cases whose designations have been re-
ceiyed are ready for action. This is
due to two causes: First, the
great accumulation of petitions,
ETC., received at the depart
ment within the last few weeks. The
second cause is that what is known as
the list of referees has not yet been
made out. As rule these referees will
be men selected in Republican districts
who are supposed to know and repre-
sent the wishes of the Democratic citi-
Zens of the place, as Democratic men,
bers of congress are supposed to do in
their own districts. While the recon-
mendatiOnS of these referees will not be
final, they will have great weight In
making the appointment of pOStmasters.
1t is probable that very much of Mr..
Maxwell's time durlng the next few
weeks will be taken up by callers, so
that it will be some time before the
work of making changes will have act
iyelV begun
