QUELLED BY HYPNOTlSM
Influence of a Surgeon Over a
Fighting Sailor.
FASTENED WITH HIS EYE
Seized With FIT, the Biuejacket
Owercomes the Efforts of Five PO-
Ifcemen-An Ambulance Doctor
CEfms Him With His GIittcrfRE
Orb-MaiSes Mysterious PASSES.

New York, Nov. 2.-Hypnotism was en-
ployed by Bellevue Hospital surgeon in
subdulng q man in a fit whom five police
men could not overcome. DIR. Wheeler,
the surgeon, was on an ambulance which
had been sent TO Third Avenue and Six
teenth, Street, TO the aid Of sailor who
had fallen in the street. The sailor rose
10 his feet and tried TO get away. He
was suffering from violent form Of cpl
lepsy, and he threw the policeman around
the pavement as if he Were a figure of
straw. The policeman raped for assist
ance and four other bluecoats came to his
aid
The sailor, who had developed all the
strength Of mania, pulled all five OF the
policemen about the pavement, and very
nearly escaped. The bluecoats were about
10 ask Tor the help of the bystanders
when the ambulance surgeon took hand
in the proceedings
Let the man go, he said.
All the policemen relinquished their
hold. and the sailor ran into the middle
OF Sixteenth Street. DR.. Wheeler followed
him up and caught his eye. The doctor
is slight OF build and the bluejacket, who
belonged to the Brooklyn, was nearly six
feet tall ana had muscles like iron.
The surgeon followed the man with his
magnetic eye. The sailor gazed into the
face OF the doctor, and an expression Of
astonisament and Of fear came into his
eyes. The surgeon made mystic passes
about the mans head. The sailor, with
his eyes intentiy fixed upon the phHsi-
clans face initiated the movements. The
doctor stepped 10 one side. and the jackie
followed him.
Turn in said the doctor, leading the
way toward the ambulance and going
through motions similar to those Of sling
ing a hammock. The sailor followed him.
The walk OF the sailor grew a little I'M
steady. and he lurched against a post.
This distracted his attention from The
hypnotic eye. II acted much like the
swapping finger and the shrill wake Up''

jumped upon him and bore him 10 the
earth. The Sailor struggled a little. and
then the doctor again made strange and
weird passes. TIE sailor was heln-=ss.
He gazed into the doctors face .,nd mutt
tered something which sounded like
Aye aye. sir" The policeman lifted
up the limp form and placed it in the an
bulance- The doctor kept the man under
control while the ambulance hurried up

BY the time the sailor reached the nos
pital he had recovered from his lit. and
WAS easily managed He said that his
