DEATH OF HARRY F. FUTILE, OF
 WEST HAVEN


 The sad news reached West Haven Saturday of the death of Harry E. Tut tle son of Cyrus W. Futile, of No s7 Union street, West Haven. Several days ago MT. Futile received word that the condition of his son was less favora- bic, and later q telegram was received calling him to California. MT. Futile left at o'clock Friday morning for the west, and at o'clock in the afternoon another telegram was received announc- ing the death of his son. A Telegram was immediately sent to Chicago, to be delivered to MT. Futile when he reach- ed there, announcing the death. He will return immediately. and arrange ments have been made to send the re- mains of the deceased to the home of his father as early as possible. On New Years day the deceased would have been twenty-six years of age. He was born in West Haven and attended the Union school, graduating from there in 1892 In 1893 he graduated from Hop kins grammar school and in 1896 receiv- ed his diploma from Sheffield Scientific school.
 After gradua ton he was employed for some time in Hartford, but his health since graduation from college had not been of the best and it was finally de- cided that he should go to California in the hope that he might be benefited by the climate there. This was in 1897 and until last summer he had not visited his home. He then came on and re- mained at his fathers home for about two months.
 The deceased was one of the most popular young men in the borough. He was member of the Congregat tion- al oo,,rob and 1uoc ar, 1,sbar al that

| y curious case recently came to the no.
tice of Tennessee judge and his de
cision, under the circumstances. seems tc
have been most wise. Two persons were
arrested on suspicion OF arson. It was
discovered, after they had been tried and
sentenced. that some of the testimony had
been obtained by means Of hypnotic intlu-
ence. The judge ruled that such testi-
Inony was valueiess.
That there is such thing as hypno-
tism no one who has looked into the sub
jeet can reasonably deny. The laws by
which it works are not fully understood,
aad it sometimes acts as an influence
in human affairs without being fully rec
ognized as such. Probably no great ora
tor ever lived who did not have some
thing of this power. The same is true OF
actors politicians. diplomats. and others
who influence directly by their person
ality. 1t is. of course, incorrect to as
sumo that their power is altogether that
of the hypnotist If theytare really great
men, they must be thinkers, men of pow
erful will and subtle inteilect: and in this
way they influence those who can apprc-
ciate these qualities. But there are null
titudes who come under their sway with
out fully understanding the reason who
applaud the orator without comprehend
ing what he says; who are Influenced by
the politician against their judgment and
inclination: who, il sitting on a jury find
the force of evidence disappearing under
the magnetism Of a brilliant lawyers voice
and presence. That sort of thing is akin
TO hypnotism. The man who possesses
such power has a personality so strong
that he is able to suggest certain ideas to
the minds of others, and the suggestion is
so powerful as to take possession of the
mind Of the subject and override previous
impressions. In its extreme form this is
actual hypnotism. and the hypnotic subject
is generally a person without much will
or intelligence. but with considerable
sensibility of one sort or another. Such
person can be brought absolutely under
the dominance Of a stronger will. and
made to say or do almost anything. The
testimony OF anyone under such influence
would, of course, be valueless in a court of
law
Such cases are extreme, and seldom occy.
under circumstances which would aTect

stance which came to light in this Tennes-
