Atlanta Ca. Sept. 9-The grand jury
will investigate the Bass murder on the
theory involving the city detectives in the
mysterious crime.
At the meeting of the board of police
commissioners this afternoon Chairman
johnson made statement in reference to
the murder and the charges made by the
attorneys for Bass family and In the
newspapers against the detectives. The
board regarded the matter so seriously as
to direct Chairman Johnson to place IN
formation before the grand jury for the
purpose of either clearing the detectives
of unjust suspicion or to bring the guilty
one TO Justice
After the grand jury gets through, il
no indictments are found. the police board
will probably make an investigation Oh
its own account. but the hoard and the
detectives themselves prefer that the
courts be given the first opportunity Of
finding and Furnishing the criminal.
In answer to the afHdavits produced
against the detectives By Bass attorneys,
Glenn and Roundtree, the detectives at
torneys, have published a statement DEFY
ing their accusers to bring their charges
into court and declaring in the strongest
terms the innocence of the detectives.

SPIRITUALISTIC SCIENCE.

50 East Second South street, last even

1.-The Philosophy of Hypnotsm, Ma gnet-
ism and Occultism: their Relation 10 Each
Other as Theraupetic Agents"
The lecture was very we'll attended by
the laboring men of the city, who have
made occultsm and hypnotism a study
for several moons. The lucid explanation
of the speaker was heartily appreciated
by the people who listened, inasmuch as
his discourse shed many new lights upon
the subject handled.
In the position of combined thcrapeutic
agents, magnetism, hypnotism and occult
ism may be said 10 bear the relation of
first cousin to each other, by marriage:

time again. If anything the relationship
between the two former is even more
close than with the latter. although it is
no SLOUGH in the combination All three
are the results Of careful study of some
thing we don't know thing about and
cannot learn if we tried for thousand
years.

tangible hypothesis which connects Itself
insduously but at the same time haTmo-
niously and pathologically with the ten

is emphatic in saying that nothing can
overthrow this. The sea OF argument
may break over the fabric as it stands
and may sometimes appear TO shake II,
bur in the end truth will prevail as 1t
Goes on many occasions.
Occultism is science by itself. yet so
closely allied is it with the other two
that to successfully occult one must
needs know how TO hyp and nave a modi-
cum of the mysterious pDwer of doing the

carrying a battery around with him. He
may be a dandy in therapeutics and not
