10 one or TWO daily news
papers, who had not attended the
trial, but had read this hypnotic
theory, sent kilograms to one or two
daily newspapers that Mcdonald had
been acquitted in this theory. Thus
the story got into the associated
press dispatches and was published
far and wide.
An attorney who assisted in the de-
Tense Of Mcdonald is member Of the
state legislature. OF all things he
wants nOtOriety. He went from the
trial to the state capital. lie saw his
chance to get himself into the public
prints. He is not the man to hesitate
at methods. He embraced the oppOr-
tunity, if the newspapers can be be-
Iieved, and has repeated this canard
as the truth. The facts are that
hypnotiSm was never mentioned or
thought of in any connection with
the trial of this case until after it
was over. These statements will be
verified by Judge j. A. Brunette,
who tried the case, George W. Ewing,
clerk Of the court, Sheriff s. S. Wood
cock, Col. CD. Carver, the attorney
who prosecuted the case for the state,
or Judge John G. Woods who had
charge of McDOnald's defense. The

GOOD NEWS.
pate for Conference an RIght.

Two weeks ago the South Metho-
dist people OF Louisa were consid
erably disturbed over tho an
nouncement made through leading
church papers to the effect that the
date for the meeting OF the West
Virginia Conference at this place
had been changed from September
4th to September 18th. No reason
for the action was known, as no one
here, not even the pastor, had been
consulted. Rev. French went to
work at once TO have the date
changed TO the lth, and the Bishop
has made the change, stating that
he was not advised OF the situation
when the first alteration was made.
On account OF the Circuit Court ar
rangement SO kindly made by
Judge Kinner 10 conform to the
18th, and the fact that some Of the
leading members cannot be here
during Conference II held week
later, II Is imperative that the
date be as fist agreed upon.
