ed to hypnotize Boehm. After getting
him under the influence. Stark did as he
pleased with him. The sick man refused
to take any medicine at all and although
he had only a mild case of typhiod fever,
he grew worse. About two weeks ago
one night Boehm was visited by several
friends, and after they left him at

was asleep. he left the house clad only

him. The cab was driven to DIR. Stark's
place, at 131 Spring street. This was done
