for Divorce.

New York, May 24.-Stefano Barres-
sis defense to his wifes suit for lin
tied divorce is that 1t was not
through love but hypnotism that he be-
came her husband. Now he says the
spell is broken and he wants the mar
riage annulled.
Mrs. Maria Barressi has sued in the

Waller Giovanni and is q years old.
His wife, he declares, is 55.
Barressi, who lives at No. 81 Douglass
street, Brooklyn, says he met the wom-
on who became his wife on June 13 last
at the nome of Antonio Ventrice, and
did not like her. She then had some
reputation as an amateur hypnotist.
Maria sat beside him, and as he edged
away made some passes. That gave him
peculiar sensation, he says,and he felt
his dislike wearing away.
With easy. hypnotic familiarity Ma
ria. he says. then began stroking his
hair and face softly, very softly. That
settled It, he alleges. and he found him
self her slave, utterly unable to resist
her will.
Barressi declares he was kept under
this spell until September. 1899. Then
he seemed TO awaken as from slumber.
and for the first time fully realized that
he had married Maria He left her at
once. and has since avoided meeting
her for fear he will again fall under
her spell.
Mrs. Barressi says her husbands
