j. l.. French, "a very fluent writer and
advertising man, who contributes TO
Printers Ink and other periodicals, called
at The World Office the other day In order
u secure the help ~ the paper In exposing
IA band Of Masonic bypnotists who have
him completely I'm their power and are
slowly doing him 20 death.
Unless help comes he cannot last nnoth-
or year. For three years now the hypnO-
lists have clutched him, and they have un-
dcrnincd his health out Of pure ksndish-
ness and for tho sake Of having "A scapcgoat.
This unfortunate prosecuted one is "a slim,
good looking young fellow who has moth
ing surprising to iinpart on commonplace
topics Of the day, but who at once becomes
weird In the presence Of tho two subjects
of hypnotism and Masonry.
81 think this thing has gone quite far
enough, said Mr.. French earnestly, "and,
In fact, do not hesitate 10 say IL has gone
entirely too far. These hypnotists are an
inner lodge Of the Masons, and they de-
vote their entire time and energy 10 the
performance Of devilish deeds. These
dreadful creatures lie down and go into "a
comatoso state, and then they proceed to
prccipitatc their whole conscious force into
the living consciousness Of another indi-
vidual. That individual IL myself This

Mr.. French smiled at the unsophisticat-
edness Of the query. Certainly not, +" he
answered, "though I have hunted them

feel sure, however, that they are towards,
or they wouldn't treat me In this way, and
they must dread publicity.
"You didn't know, did you, that there
Is hypnotic degree in Freemasonryf
Well, there Is, and these fellows have taken
it. The hypnotic lodge to which this group
Of archdevils belongs takes morbid inter

these demons.
"The way OF II was this: Five Masonic
clairvoyants, finding that they could con-
troll me, formed an organization for that
purpose. Masons worship the power Of
these men, and In fact they boss the whole
order. A secret oath and the spirit of dark
ness bind these chaps together, and the
devil presides over their lodges. There Is
also Spanish inquisition operated Oh the

"How did they first get at your

cent" shouted Mr.. French excitedly.
"They next got UP decree declaring that
/ should leave the United States within
two years or suffer death. This was all
done with the secret connivance OF hyp-
Noticed and Masonized police force. They
make evidence against ms by special emo
tional control, both In San Francisco and
Kansas City.
Il tell YOU" declared Mr.. French,
pounding desk impressively, "that this
is the greatest field for an exposure The
World ever took up. They used to control
me by far second sight, but now theyv
got me in the tolls by the near second
sight method. They whisper in my ear
that they'll soon have me at the jumping
off place and that my career is ended.
"For Is months have suffered the most
horrible pains through special system.
The whole programme of torture on which
Masonic work is founded has been wrought
out on me. l shouldn't wonder If the
lodge swears out decree of insanity
against me for this and puts me in an asy.
lum." Then he added meditatively
"They did that once before.
You'll hear of my death in three
months, he proceeded, "f you don't put
this In the paper.
IF the Masonic order of hypnotists start
out to kill man, they can do it hands
down if they can only slander him enough.
But" cried Mr. French with some
heat, "Ill stay on American soil and bust
this thing, although I can rid myself of II
by leaving the country. BY ten years
course Of toxic hypnotism these fellows
have got the public mind in such state
that the public is willing to consent to
my death. Yes, SIR" he repeated, with
tears in his eyes, "willing to consent tO
my death New York World.
