Hypnotism Charged.

SHELBYvILLE, Ind, Sept. 24.-Wm.
Cooper has brought suit to set aside the
will of his father, James Cooper. The
elder Cooper, who was 70 years old and
worth some $4,000, with an invalid
wife, became enamored of Jennie Per.
ry, young and beautiful girl who be-
came his chambermaid during his wifs's
illness. It is alleged that Cooper law
ished costly presents on her and that
the servant girl frequently ordered the
wife to wash the formers clothing and
to do other work about the house, till
disease confined her to her bed and she
died. Two months later Cooper and
the servant girl, scarcely twenty years
of age, were married and six months
afterward he died. Three days before
his death he made "a will leaving his en-.
tire fortune to his new wife. The
plaintiff charges undue influence, in
sanity and hypnotism.

State of West Virginia was created, Ia
property known as Berkeley Springs, or
Bath, as it used to be called, belonged

having been sanctioned and confirmed,
the valuable property referred to OF
course went with the other portion OF
her stolen territory, and was controlled
by board of trustees appointed BY

DURRANT TRIAL.

The tenth week of the trial of
Theodore Durrant commenced yes
terday at San Francisco. The prosecu-
ton now has its case substantially
before the jury, and all that the district
attorney will now introduce is cor.
roborative testimony. Adolph Open
helm, the broker, who stated that
Durrant had about April Is tried to
pawn ring Unidentified by Oppenheim,
as belonging to Blanche Lamont, was
further cross-examined yesterday. On
the day Durrant is charged with having
tried to sell the ring Oppenheim said
one or two other persons had called.
Both were strangers, yet he described
them infinitely, and recounted the
particulars of their visits as if they had
occurred but yesterday. Oppenheim
was asked regarding other specified
days, and answered promptly. Counsel
for tie defense tried to confuse Open
helm by showing him number of silver
articles, and inquiriug if he had ever
seen them before. In many cases the
pawbroker replied in the Affirmative,
and described the persons who had
tried to sell or pawn them. The defense
evi iently consided Oppenheim's testi-
mony of great importance, and tried
hard to break it down, but without
marked success.
W. ]. Phillips, middle-aged man OF
good appearance and address, testified
that he had seen Durrant coming out
of Oppenheim's store in the early part
OF last April. He was attracted to the
man by his peculiar appearance and
manner of his actions, and the fact
that he was coming out ola pawn shop.
When the District Attorney request
ed the witness to indicate the man be
saw coming out of the pawn shop,
Phillips walked over to the prisoner,
and with pointed finger said in q posi-
tive tone: "Thst is the man." Dur
rant did not finch under the odeal.
He returned gaze with gaze and not
muscle of his impassive face twitehed.
He neither betrayed guilt nor flashed
back the glance of injured innocence.
The witness was cross-examined re-
garding his business and his family his
tory, with the apparent intent of dis
crediting his testimony. He said when
Durrant's portrait was first published
he remarked that he had seen him at
some place. When Oppenheim's pic
ture was published, the scene at the
pawn shop flashed across his mind, and
all the details came back to him.

MAX O'RELL. in a recent magazin

MAX O'RELL, in a recent magazine
article, said the officials of this country
ara the masters, not the servants of the
people. Many other observant for
eigners agree with him, though they
have not published their thoughts upon
the subject. That what he says is true,
is such a we'll recognized fact by the
natives of the country, that they look
upon it as natural and consequently
don't notice it. Indeed that some OF
tie officials go out of their way to annoy
aud irritate those who are necessarily
brought in contact with them, was de-
monstrated in New York day or two
ago. when an old and distinguished
German barron, who had rescued his
wife's pet dog from the dog catchers,
was arrested and dragged to the police
station, as common hummer would
have been, asked "where he worked?"
and then fined and told to go about his
blu mess.
