LIVED OVER CRIME IN A TRANCE.
Hypnotist Tests Gabrielle Bompard's Story
Of q Murder.
IspecIa, Gable De,pa.eh TO TIE SUN.

Special Gable Despaseh TO THE SUN.
PARIS, Deo. 12.-The famous trial OF
Gabrielle Bompard and man Of the name
Of Eyrand for the murder Of bailiff by
strangulation has been recalled In strange
fashion. Gabrielle Bompard and Eyrand
escaped to America, where they were
captured Eyrand was guillotined in Paris.
Gabrielle Bompard pleaded that she COM
mitted the crime under the hypnotic in
fiuenoe Of Eyrand. She was sentenced
to penal servitude, but was released few
months ago.
7 Her counsel recently arranged with
Prof. Siegcois to hypnotize her to prove
that her unsuccessful plea in regard to
hypnotlsm was true. The professor placed
her in q hypnotic state and recalled her
mind to the day Immediately preceding the
crime. The woman then lived the crime
again with fearful realism and displayed
the greatest mental torture. She showed
how she had been quarreling with Eyrand
and again to assist his murderous scheme
She pleaded, shrieked and coaxed in vain.
Then 1t was evident that Eyrand sprang
at her throat.
"Oh, he is strangling me-" she cried.
wrthng in imaginary pain. Let me
go. III bring him, you are killing me-"
Then she enacted the scene Of the MUIR
der and showed how. left all night with the
corpse, she was about to commit suicide.
She also described the flight to America.
The sight Of the writhing. struggling
woman enacting the scenes Of horror. both
before and after the crime was startling
and weird. Photographers took snap
shots Of her throughout and stenograph-
ers reported her words verbatim When
aroused from her trance Gabrielle Bonn
pard showed no trace Of the severe ordeal
and recollected nothing.
Prof Siegcois is convinced that she was
forced to participate in the crime in
hypnotic state and says he never met 80
easy subject. He will make report
to the Academy Of Medicine.

ROME. Dec. PA vague rumor which
is acquiring form Is to the effect that the
Pope's health is not as good as it should be.
His heart IL weak and he suffers for lack Of
change Of air and scene. His Holiness is
perfectly resigned, but his sisters are very
much worried over his condition. They
are anxious to advise him to abdioate and
return to Venice.
It is improbable that the Pope will agree
to his sisters wish to abdicate. and it is
noteworthy that successor to him as
Patriarch OF Venice has not been FAMED.
Only a vicar has been appointed.

of fact. the proceedings were not at all
identical with grand jury deliberations, for
the reason that the sessions were public
and not secret.
SHEA'S MINORITY REPORT.
The minority report of Mr.. Shea takes
exactly opposite ground. Written very
much like a party platform, it denounces
the conduct of the city's affairs by the
Board Of Public Works, and declares that
Mr.. Logsdon has been shown to be guilty
of accepting money for the campaign fund
and of fayoring certain persons closely al
lied with the city administration. 1t ac-
cuses the committee Of narrowing the scope
of the investigation to save the man under
fire, and of discharging Mr. Noel for fear
that he might introduce evidence that ii
would be impossible to disregard. The pre-
vailing opinion is that the minority report
was dictated by James l.. Keach, chairman
Of the Democratic city organization, who
has ordered the Democratic members of
COUNCIL to do thus and so, not only on the
Logsdon investigation, but on the Elliott
matter.
Immediately after Council had finished
routine business last night Mr.. Wynne Of
fered the majority report of the committee.
1t was read by City Clerk Elliott amid in
tense silence. Comparatively few persons
were present, but those that were there
were all ears. Reach sat near the middle
OF the chamber using two hands an ear
trumpet. When the clerk had finished the
majority report Mr.. Shea submitted the mi
nority report, which was also read in full.
Mr.. Shea Immediately moved the adoption
Of the minority report. Mr.. Wynne moved
that Mr.. Shea's motion be laid on the table
The councilmen voted on Wynne's motion
as follows:
Ayes-Cooper, Grail, Expert, Holiday,
Mcfarland. Negley, Rhodes. Sourbier.
Spray, Wheeler, Wynne, Wysong. Billings
ley-l3.
Noes-Berry, Kelly, Meyer, Moriarity,
Shea, Wahl Warweg, Wolsffer-S.
Mr.. Wynne Immediately moved the adop-
ton of the majority report, and the motion
carried by the same vote the previous
motion.

seemed that the whole building
must be destroyed. Instantly, the
fact was reported to the FIRE de-
partment, and the pluck of the fire

working of the chemical engine
made quick work of the flames.
In two and one half minutes from
