Shortly afterward he became thoroughly
revived, and them the boy recognized his
mother and spoke family to her.
Several Wilmington doctors, attracted
by the case, started to investigate 1t. AS
far as has been learned 1t appears that
young Dougherty hypnotized himself. He
is a student at a nearby college and has
always been regarded as a deep thinker.
His mind is of a scientific bent and his
pet study during the past two or three
months has been hypnotism.
In October a party of hypnotists came
to the opera house in Wilmington and
gave an exhibition for one week. One oe
their performances was the hypnotizing of
a boy for forty-eight hours. The boy was
placed in a window, and remained there
without food or drink of any kind and
without opening his eyes once.
This wonderful feat reused young
Wilmington to consult with the hYppot-
lists. The latter took great interest IA him
and he soon became one of their subjects.
After the departure of the hypnotists
young Dougherty settled down to make
a study of hypnotism, and frequently
tried experiments on his classmates in col
lege.
Frequently he has discussed with them
the science of hypnotism, and told them
that he believed that he could put him
self into a hypnotic sleep by the coucen-
tration of his thoughts on one subject.
After the resuscitation young Dougherty
was placed under the care of a physician,
and no one was allowed TO see him, Sew
eral of his classmates tried to get to him
to learn of his strange experience. but
failed. A few days ago he was removed
