Great Indignation in Switzerland Over
Torture of Swiss.

Geneva, Dec. 1S.-Great indignation
has been caused in Switzerland by the
news of the terrible torture to which a
Swiss has recently been subjected in
Argentina. NJ. Fontaneliase, brother
of the victim, in writing from Buenos
Ayres, says:
"A large warehouse in the colony of
Vera, near Santa Fe. was burned down,
and, according to the circumstances. all
the inhabitants We're arrested and an
inquiry held. Fontaneliase, who had
been left in charge by the owner of the
warehouse, was also arrested. For
some reason or other the chief Of the
police suspected him of setting fire to
the warehouse but, unable to obtain
any proof, he decided to employ torture
to obtain confession.
HE was then subjected to the cope
Colombian as employed formerly by
the Spanish inquisitcrs. 1t consists in
binding the victims hands and legs and
attaching them to stakes driven
ground Then the man is placed in a
sitting posture on the ground, rifle is
attached to the back part of the neck
and two other rifles are passed under
his. knees.
"Gradually the head is forced down
until the three rifles touch one another
and these are then tied together. The
whole weight of the body is thus
thrown on the spine. which becomes
paralized.
After he had been under this terri
BILE torture for some time, the inquisi-
tors proved Fontaneliase to be innocent
and he was set free, but is in very Sc
rious state The Swiss consul at Buenos
Ayres has actively taken up the mat
ter and demands the punishment of the
police captain. Meanwhile the entire
Swiss colony in the vicinity are thrown

pow,E HYpnoTlzED HIM.
Samuel Stevenson Declares He Couldn't
Help Siqnina Papers.

Samuel Stevenson Declares he Couion't
Help Signing Papers.
Chicago, Dec 1S.-Samuel Stevenson,
plaintiff in the suit against Dowie be-
fore Judge Tuley, declared in court yes
terday that Dowie exercised hypnotic
influence over him and over his other
followers, and that while under that IN
fluence he signed anything and every
thing that Dowie requested him to. un-
der cross-examination by Attorney
Packard for Dowie, Stevenson admitted
that when he transferred his lacemak-
ing machinery and business from Eng
land to Zion City and sold them all to
Dowie he received about $4,000 for four
machines which had cost him when new
the sum of $4,000.
Then when you made DR.. Dowie pay
twice as much for secondhand ma
chimes as these had cost you new, We're
you under his hynotic influence or was
he under yours?" asked Lawyer Pack
ard.
Then came long sparring match, IN
which Mr.. Packard tried to make Ste
venson tell what price he had set upon
his lacemaking plant in England. Ste
venson explained that the business was
worth $4,000 a year to him in England,
and that the s15o,o0O which Dowie
agreed to pay for it barely compensated
him for all his losses and for the good
will of the firm. etc.
Stevenson said that he never knew ex-
actly what amounts he was to receive
out Of the profits of the Zion lace indus
tries.
Attorney Packard brought out re-
luctant admission from the witness that
after the company had been changed by
Dowie from an incorporation to a volun-
tary association Stevenson had under
stood that he was to receive his balance
of 100000 in common stock the others
to have preferred and proprietary
shares Stevenson said he had not
agreed to it, that it was arranged for
him to take it." "I was not consulted"
said he.
who arranged it 2" asked Packard.
why, you did yourself replied Ste
venson
We'll, you did not dissent from the
arrangement, did you?"
I'VE were supposed to do things in
Zion without asking any questions, !"
said Stevenson.
