A NOTABLE TRIAL
Violet Bowen Who is Suing One Don
ovan for the Crime of Seduction
Claims She Was the Victim Of Hyp-
MOTTO Influence.

Rock Rapids. April 19.-Before a
court room packed to the doors, the
trial Of Ed b. Donovan, accused of
seduction thru hypnotic influence, was
begun here yesterday. The action
is brought by Violet Bowen. a beautiful
country school teacher, residing at
Little Rock, Iowa. who appeared at
the last session OF the district court
and preferred her sensational accu-
sations. Donovan is a married man
with two children.
/. 1t is claimed that Donovan is a hyp-
notist and uses his power along that
line, to determine just what can be
done with a subject when under his
influence. Donovan came to the coun-
ty several years ago as a blacksmith
working at Little Rock for awhile.
There he met the daughter. OF Charles
Bowen, and after a short acquaintance
with her, it is said induced her to
marry him. Charles Bowen is farmer
residing near Little Rock, and a near
neighbor of H. II. Bowen. his brother
who is the father of a large family of
grown girls, among them Violet, the
prosecuting witness in this case. The
families had always been on the most
intimate terms of friendship. Dono-
van, 1t is alleged. continued to prac-
tice his hypnotic power on the daugh
ters OF his father-in-law brother, I'M
til they could not resist his influence.
The defendant having developed into
a jeweler from a blacksmith, went to
the town of Little Rock and opened a
shop, working at his trade, and giving
hypnotic and mesmeric entertainments
in the surrounding towns, and the
state will try to show that during this
time Donovan induced Miss Bowen to
come daily to his place of business
from the farm in response to post>
hypnotic suggestions made by Dono-
van from day to day. DR.. NJ Nelson
Voldeng, superintendent of the insane
asylum at Cherokee. has been subpoe-
naed as witness to testify on this
point, as well as Professor Roche, the
noted hypnotist from Chicago.
The attorneys for the defendant re-.
fuse to outline their defense, but when
urged by correspondent, said they
would be able to show by the best mes
meric authority that a subject under
hypnotic influence could not be ins
duced to commit a crime or do an inn
moral act that he would not have done
when free from such influence. Since
the indictment Of the defendant there
has been intermittent war in the Bow
en- neighborhood between the brothers
and their friends. The case is on trial
and the court house is packed to the

At the dinner of the American News
