lieved TO be without parallel, was enacted
here to-day. A judge Of Circuit Court. at
tended by the court stenographer. took
down the statements OF a dying woman
under the influence of hypnotism. Should
the judge accept the statements true
they will cut a great figure in a murder
mystery. George Hires was sentenced by
Judge Ellison 10 thirteen years i'm the pen
itentiary on conviction Of the murder OF
William Foust, at Elwood. July last. The
principal witness against him was Maggie
Bolton. After the trial she confessed tnat
her testimony false. and that she her
self had done the deed. DIR. j. Il. Callen,
who claims to have hypnotic power, was
granted permission 10 place the woman in
the hypnotic state TO ascertain which OF
her statements was the correct one.
To-day Judge Ellison. the official court
stenographer. and DIR. Callen went TO the
hospital where Mrs. Bolton is said TO be
on her death bed from consumption and i'm
the presence OF these witnesses soon had
the woman IN a hypnotic trance. Mrs. Bol'
ton spoke in a loud clear tone. though
heretofore on account OF her weakness she
was scarcely able to whisper. Mrs. Bolton
seemed to live again the night of the crime
and in forceful manner she recounted the
details. Mrs. Bolton said the shot that
killed Foust was fired by Hires The con-
fession that she had done the deed was
extorted from her by Hires. who said the
authorities suspected her son. She them
shouldered the crime shield her son.
After she had been brought out OF the
cataleptic state she did not remember any
thing OF what she had just told Judge FL
Iison was greatly impressed. but he de-
clined to state what effect it would have
on his ruling in the case. A motion for a
new trial for Hires is pending.
