He had runabout wagon, and a woman with him.
She could not see the woman very well, and did
not notice the horse. The man asked her the rates

companion after which they drove northward Dr.
saturius left wife and children behind Mrs
satur1us denied yesterday the report her hus-
band had hypnQtized Miss Schell.
My husband couldn't hypnotic a cat" said Mrs
Saturius land all published stories to that effect
are SO much rot. The truth is that he met this
girl in a cafe in West One-hundred-and-twenty-
hfth-st. about three months ago. and she cast a
spell over him. My husband was always kind to
me and good father TO his children until he met
this woman. If he back TO me and has
broken the spell i won't dictate hard I
my husband. This is his fault 1t is that
woman who did 1t all"
When seen at her home yesterday Mrs Schell
mother of the missing girl, said telephone mes
sage came from a Mr.. Kappell real estate dealer,
at o'clock in the afternoon of May l. asking
Miss Schell and her mother go 10 Fort Wendell
Miss Schell declined and insisted that her mother
should go to see what Mr. kappell wanted. Mrs
Schen is convinced that IT only a ruse to get
her away, for during her absence DR. Saturius
called with a carriage and her daughter went
away with him. The carriage and horse were found
next morning One hundred nd nd seventy
hfth-st. and Jerome-ave., the animal being nearly
dead from exhaustion.
Mrs. Sche says IL is not true that DR.. Saturius
met her daughter in cafe. He first met her a
year ago at reception of the Harlem Branch of
the Young Mems Christian Associa ton. one night
three months ago she. her daughter, Mr.. KappeIl
and some friends were drinking In a cafe when
Dr.. Saturius, at another table. bowed. He then
renewed the acquaintance made months be-
fore with Miss Schell. and their relations which
eliminated in their disappearance date from that
night.
Mr.. schell. the father of the young woman says
he is convinced that DR.. Saturius hypnotzed his
daughter He said she a young woman OF
untsrnished reputation until she met him He
ought to be horsewhipped;" said Mr. scheli NO
