HYPNOTISM NOT
A GOOD DEFENSE
Japhet Ebanks Must Hang
for the Two Ocean
side Murders.
The Supreme Court Sends the
San Diego Murderer to
the GallowS.
He Killed Mrs. Stiles and j. B. Bor-
den While They We're Camping
Near the Beach.

The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed
the jud dgment of the Superior Court OF
San Diego County in the celebrated MUIR
der case of the People VS.. Japhet Ebanks,
who murdered Mrs. Harriet Stiles and ].
B. Borden at Oceanside on September g.
1895.
The case went up on the point that the
conviction was on circumstautial evi-
dence and that the lower court erred In
refusing to allow hypnotist, B. A.
Stephens, to testify that he hypnotized
the defendant after the murder and that
the latter den led the crime when under
the hypnotic spell.
Commissioner Searles investigated the
case and gave the opinion, which the
Supreme Court affirmed. He held that
the circumstantial evidence was clear and
convincing and that there were no
grounds for changing the opinion of the
trial court. In all this the Supreme Court
affirmed the decision.
Com mmissioner Sear.s took occasion to
say, while passing on the question of hyp-
notism, that the law did not recognize
hypnotism and that he would not for
moment entertain that point of the de-
Tense. In passing on the case the Su-
pIeme Court agreed, but Justice McFar-
land took occasion to say that he did not
quite agree as to the attitude of the law
toward hypnotism, but he added that it
was not necessary TO discuss that point in
detail in the case at bar, as the hypnotic
evidence offered in that case was emf
nently improper, irrespective of the fact
that the law might recognize it in other
cases.
The Ebanks murder mystery created
great deal OF excitement at the time, for
the old man and woman, who were spend
ing an outing season at the ocean, were
killed without apparent motive. Defend
ant had been under great religious excite
ment short time before the murder, at a
Seventh day Adventist camp meeting,
and had followed his revival experiences
with heavy debauch. The Supreme
Court remanded MIN to the Superior Court
to be sentenced to death in accordance
with the original verdict.
