This was not very good English for the
Deity. but Mrs. Wilcox let Il pass and asked
somewhat anxiously why II was that she
felt no fear In such august presence. for she
was perfectly aware a,; that she had been - more or

amazing defiance of grammatical rules:
There are no such things as fear or sin;
There Is no you-you never have been
There is nothing at all but Me-"

JACKSON A HYPNOTIST
GREENCAsTLE THEORY OF HIS IN
FLUENCE OVER wALLING.
Rev. 8. ". Leech's Memorial Sermon ON
Grant at Crawfordsviile-vie
on immigration.
TO the Indiananolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GRBENCASTLE, Ind, May a.-Does hyp-
notism figure any in the Scott Jackson case,
is a question sometimes asked here by be-
levers in the mesmeric power. A year or
SO ago a travelling hypnotist visited Green
caste and set the town by the ears with his
occult powers. He gave exhibitions a the
opera house, and had several subjects about
town, whom he could control at will. and
VINO. in turn, began pract!cing the science.
Whether Scott Jackson ever learned II, or
possessed the necessary magnetic power TO
overcome anyone and get them in his con-
troll, Is not known nor is IL remembered
that he ever attended the seances, as given
here, but II has often been remarked by peo-
pc well acquainted with him, that he pPs-
sessed the Svengali eye. Especially is this
true of persons who have paid close at
tention to Jackson since he. has come into
such notoriety through the trial at Newport,
Ky. There are people who believe Jackson
called in hypnotism to his aid when he was
carrying out his deception in this city. These
same people advance the same reason in the
fact that Jackson SO easily induced Walling
to become a tool, and such devoted and
willing tool. as the evidence in the case. so
far. shows. The question has been asked a
thousand times. If 1t has once, why was
Walling such fool as to place himself so
completely in the power OF Jackson. and why
did he want to risk his neck to save a
friend?" The believer in mesmerism, as pos
sessed by jackson. answers all these argu.
ments easily by saying that Walling played
his part because he couldn't help IL. and be-
cause Jackson gave him the bad eye,''
whenever he chose. This belief Is heightened
by every newspaper report which dwells al
any length on the peculiar character Of Jack
sons eyes.
The above is the latest theory as 10 wall
ings share of the affair, as advanced by q
well-known devotee Of hypnotism. The
chances are that there Is only theory in
the argument. but its possibility makes 1t q
story that always attracts interest.

No Secret Entente Between the Trans-

V0al ana GeTm0ny.
PRETORIA, May 31.-President Kruger is
still suffering from influenza. All day to-
day he has been receiving the Johannes
burg reformers who were released from
prison yesterday and who called to express
their gratitude for thenl Iteration. In an in
terview to-day President Kruger declared
that the article IN the current Nineteenth
Century by Seymour Fort who was private
secretary to Sir Henry Broughman Loch
while the latter was Governor of Cape Col
ony, is full of untruths. President Kruger
absolutely denied the existence OF a secret
or any understanding between the Trans
vaal and Germany which threatened i'm
perial and Afrikander interests in South
Africa, as alleged by Mr.. Fort. IF Mr..
Rhodes's motive" says President Kruger,
was as Fort has represented. he ought to
be more punished than the misguided men
who have been imprisoned"
DR.. w. j. Leyds, Secretary of State of
the Transvaa,, is equally emphatic in his
denial Of the assertions made in the maga-
zine article of a secret political entente
between the Transvaal and Germany.
Mr. Fort asserted In his article that Cecil
Rhodes authorized the Jameson raid and
planned to take Pretoria for the purpose of
securing documentary evidence of the al
legged entente between the Transvaal and
Germany.
