CRIME DISCOVERIES
Go Into Trance and Pursue Grim
fnal to His Hiding Place.
Boston Transcript.


NJ. Ilg, the well-known Swiss engineer
and confidant of the Emperor Menelik, in
an interview with the Neue Zurcher Zeit-
ung. gives an extremely interesting ac-
count of the weird 'Lobasha." or crime
discoveries" These are boys, not more
than twelve years of age, who are put into
a hypnotic trance. ard in this state dis
cover the unknown perpetrators of crimes
NJ. Ilg tells of almost incredible cases of
discoveries of criminals of which he had
personal knowledge. In a case of incen-
diarism III Ads Abeba the 'Lobasha' was
called to the spot and given a cupful of
milk, into which a green powder had been
put, and then was made to smoke pipe of
tobacco mixed with a black powder The
boy was then hypnotized. After a few
minutes he jumped up and began running
TO Harrar. For fully sixteen hours he ran,
and so swift was his pace that professional
runners were not able to keep up with him.
Near Harrar the "I4obasha suddenly left
the road. ran into field, and touched a
Gala working there with his hand. The
man confessed.
Another case which the Emperor Menelik
and NJ. Zig investigated was that of a muir
der and robbery near Ads Abeba. The 10
basha" was taken to the site OF the murder
and put into his peculiar psychic state. For
while he ran round the place. then back
To Ads Abeba to "A church. which he kissed
then TO another church, which he also
kissed. Coming To some Whitewater breaks
the spell-the boy woke from his trance. He
was again hypnotiZed and off he went
round some huts. and at the door of one of
them lay down and fell asleep. The owner
of the hut. who was not in, was, on his re-
turn, arrested. He stoutly denied his guilt.
but some of the goods belonging to his vic
tim were found in the hut, and he ultimate
~ confessed. The murderer was brought
before Menelik. who asked him to detail his
doings after the commission of the crime
These were found to correspond with the
movements of the ."Iobasha.' He said that
overcome with remorse, he ran to two
churches and kissed them. Menelik wanted
to have another proof of the 'Lobasha's'
gifts. He himself took some jewelry belong
ing to the Empress. ''Lobasha" was sent
for. He first ran about in the Empresss
rooms, then into Menelik's own rooms went
through other rooms, and finally fell down
on Menelik's bed.
M. Zig can give no expla nation of this
wonderful gift, which seems to be confined
TO a certain tribe. or. perhaps. racial con-
federation, the members of which are dis
tributed over the whole of Abyssinia 1t is
also worth remembering that very similar
method of discovering crimes was ascribed
TO the old Egyptians four thousand years

townships on trees. A blaze is made by
chOpping into the side of a tree, reTnoV-
ing the bark and making the exposed sur
face smooth. On the tablet thus made the

Years passed and a prospector came that
way. located a claim. did a little develop
ment work and went away. As the seasons
went or the bark grew over the blaze ana
later the fiber also grew out over the
bruised place and healed the wound, leav-
ing nothing but a seam on the bark.
Not many years ago the man who located
the claim near the blazed oak returned TO
his hole. picked up a few rich specimens,
put his claim on the market and soon after
. ward sold it.
A company took hold and developed n
splendid mine within a few yards of the line
dividing the claim from a neighbOring prop
erty. They pushed their work and uncov-
cred a good ledge. when the persons own
ing the land adjoining brought suit for pos
session.
They declared that the mine was on their
side of the dividing line, holding that mis-
take had been made as to the line and that
the prospector had sold property that was
not his.
Maps, figures. estimates and surveyors
were brought in as evidence The court re-
manned in doubt The tree marking the
dividing line in that old survey must be
found
Both contestants began search. Months
passed. but at length scar was discovered
on the right side of large oak, about six
feet from the ground Above and below this
scar a deep cut was made with an AK, and
the slab was pried of. The bark had grown
into the markings, and when the slab was
split of the initials stood out in relief. The
bark was admitted as evidence, the line was
thus fixed and judgment was given for the
mining company.
