UNDER A woMAN's SPELL.
How Mrs. Mary Harvey Controlled q
Whole Baltimore Family.
From the Washington Post.


Baltimore, May l6.-Within the shadow
of St. Lukes Protestant Episcopal
church, in a neat 3-story brick house, live
two sisters of a highly respectable
family One of the sisters is Mrs. Maggie
Hooper, the other is Miss Mamie Maxwell.
The latter is a teacher in public school.
At the instance of Mary Moulton
the cOlored domestic of the
sisters, the police have ar
rested Mary Harvey and her husband.
The particular charge against them is
fraudulently obtaining cash, iewelry and
wearing apparel. In a general statement
of the case Mary Moulton said that she
first noticed the woman Harvey when she
came to the house to do, as she said, some
scrubbing, in return for an apron that
Mrs. Hooper had given her. On her
second visit the woman stayed all day in
Mrs. Hooper's room. She then noticed
that the Harvey woman could get any
thing she wanted in the house.
Mary Moulton also described how Mrs.
HoOper's son, boy about 10 years of age,
used to get down on his knees and repeat
his prayers to the Harvey woman under
the taught belief that he was worshiping
a divine person. She had also seen the
boy kiss the feet of the woman.
Mrs Harvey came almost daily to the
house after her first visit On several
nights last week bright light was seen
in back window of the house and the
sound of women's voices in earnest prayer
could be heard. One woman seemed to
be eXhorting the other two.
Mrs Harvey, it is related, represented
herself as the Christ. and made them bow
down and worship her. On Friday night
people in the neighborhood were
awakened after midnight by the sounds of
Nearer, MVlGOd to Thee During the
eXhortations Mrs. Harvey is said to have
taken wine, and after representing her
self as the living God to have passed it to
the two women, saying "Take this in re-
! membrance of me-" After partaking of
the wine both Mrs. Hooper and Miss
! Maxwell are said to have prayed to and
worshiped Mr.. Harvey Mrs HoOper's
| boy at first rebelled, but he was forced
into submission and to worship. After
partaking of the wine the women are said
to have lapsed into delirium, during
which time they would sing and exhort
each other as if in religious frenzy, cry
| ing, "All for Jesus! All for Jesus!"
AS soon as the woman Harvey was re-
| moved a doctor and a member of the
order Bon Secours were called and Mrs.
Hooper and Miss Maxwell were placed
! under their care. A brOther-in-law of
| Mrs. Hooper says that she and her sister
! are recovering. Mrs. Hooper has been
sick some months with, some say, erysip-
elias, others nervous prostratiOn. The
! brother-in-law says that all the trouble
has been caused by overdoses of drugs.
The Harvey woman is described as
| about 55 years of age, with scarcely a
trace of intelligence in her cOuntenance,
! yet with Astounding cunning The marvel
| is how the school teacher could have sur
! rendered to her Vaccinations.
