If the authorities are willing, and
mesmerism and mind reading are
scientific realities, the Benson murder
matter may soon come to a fms as
far as mystery is concerned.
DR.. Alexander J. McIvor-Tyndall, the
we'll known hypnotist and mind reader,
Of London. arrived in the city last
evening, and, with his young wife, is
guest at the West hotel DR.. Tyndall
cid not come to Minneapolis on the ex-
press errand Of trying to throw light
upon the mystery, but now that he is
here, he might be persuaded to try to
do something that might lift the shroud
that is hanging before the affair. In
fact he expressed himself to that eff
feet when seen last evening at the
hotel.
DR.. Tyndall is probably the best
known exponent Of this occult science,
not only because his name has been
connected in a scientific sense with
some of the most sensational trials of
the past decade, but also through
many remarkable feats that he has
performed. Of the cases that are pos
sibly best known to the general pub

he proffered his services, but which
were not accepted; the Durrant murder
trial of San Francisco, and the late
Florence Maybrick case of London. In
the Durrant as we'll as the Maybrick
case his services were not used by the
authorities, but the persistency Of the
doctor to take a hand in matters was
bordering on the sensational. In fact
he was arrested in San Francisco on
the charge OF disturbing the peace. DR..
1yndall claims that this was nothing
but Jealousy on the part Of the police.
The arrest, DR.. Tyndall states, was
occasioned by him stepping up on the
platform at meeting addressed by
Rev. j. G. Gibson, who figured prom
lnently in the case. At the meeting
Rev. Gibson defied any one to say that
he was murderer. Previous to this
Dr. Tyndall had written Mr.. Gibson,
asking for a sitting with him, when 1t
could be conclusively proved as to what
connection he might have had with 1t,
This letter was unanswered. Dr. Tyn-
dali attended the meeting at which the
assertion was made, and, after it's close.
stepped up on the platform. Up to this
time the two gentlemen had not met.
DR.. Tyndall stepped up to Mr. Gibson,
and asked for his hand. Upon hearing
TyndalPs name Rev. Gibson hurriedly
departed, and DR.. Tyndall was sub
seQuently arrested
One of the most sensational feats at
tempted in this country was at the
worlds fair, when DR.. Tyndall was
/ about to allow himself to be buried for
thirty days. This was also interrupted.
DR.. Tyndall believes that he at that
time was able to execute the feat. The
doctor claims that the body and soul
are separable. According to his state
ment they are two objects. The feat
has often been performed by the In
dian Vegas The doctor believes that
it's performance is a conclusive proof
Of the Immortality of the soul. Since
being married he does not, however,
banker as much after trying this ex-
pertinent as before.
Together with being a hypnOtist and
mind reader, DR.. Tyndall is a theOSO-
phist, an believes in the reincarnation
of the soul. 81 believe" he said, that
any young person showing itself to be
a progeny, or highly gifted, is but the
result of the development in some pre-
vicus form. 1 do not believe in the
supernatural Everything on this
planet is natural and subjected to the
laws of nature. If it were possible for
our laws to come in conflict with the
laws of some other planet, and We
should feel the effects, that would be
supernatural. In connection with the
supernatural luck Is often mentioned
/ do not believe in that. I believe in
personal magnetism. There is what is
called the inner influence and the outer
influence. The inner influence is that
which person uses upon itself; the
outer, on somebody else. 1t is just as
possible for a person to hypnotic him.
self as to hypnotic somebody else. It
is making ones self receptive. Luck.
I believe, is nothing but the result of
having placed ones self in the recep-
tive state. In spiritualism do not be-
lieve in the sense ordinarily mentioned
l do not believe that people, claiming
to be spiritualists, see the person they
thing they do. 1t is nothing but what
thought everything emanates. 1t is
the beginning Of creation and the
cause of its continuance. 1 believe in
telapathy. I sincerely believe that it

I will This has been contradicted, but
! it is true. The stronger the will the
+ more effective will the suggestion be.
Upon suggestion is hypnotism based.
A suggestion may be good or it may be
bad. Now Minneapolis has just had a
murder. This has been spread to
thousands by the daily papers. This in
itself carries suggestion. But the
fact that the murder has been men
toned may incite some other, and muir
ders may be committed, where it would
not have been if this one had not been
heard of. This simply shows the DOW
er that may underlie a suggestion. The
newspapers may print matters that are
bad In their suggestion, but also
things that are very good, and which.
through a simple suggestion, do yerv
much good.
1.-THE will exists in everything. It ia
often said that thing has been per-
formed automatically. There is no
such thing. The will may be in a wav
unconscious, but the unconscious con-
sciousness is always conscious Of what
it is doing"
DR.. Tyndall Is not certain how long
he will remain in Minneapolis. He is
on his way to London, England, from
Los Angeles, Cal, where he has spent
several months. It was at this place
that he was married about three
months ago. His wife was formerly
Marguerite Logan, a cousin Of Gen
