remarkable as we'll as the best authen-
ticated phenomena on record. The
Hanna case is remarkable, not only for
the eerie nature of its almost innumer-
able phenomena, but also for the fact
that the patient himself was man of
such eminent culture and scholarship
that he took a keen delight in giving
his physicians and those scientists who
were uninterested in him every CO.
operation, and furthermore. and what
is most important, was broad minded
enough to allow the world at large
a full and complete insight into the de-
tails of his wonder compelling expert
ences. Briefly the facts are these:
The Rev. Thomas Hanna was in 1897
the pastor of the Baptist church at
Plantsville Conn. He was at that time
twenty-five years old and was regarded
as most eloquent divine and accom-
plished scholar. He came of distin-
guished ancestry on both sides of his
house. His father is one of the best
known clergymen in New England; his
uncle distinguished Brooklyn
preacher; his maternal grandfather
was the great missionary Adoniram
Judson, and his maternal grandmother
was the famous Fanny Fern" of the
literary world of several generations
ago. His paternal great-grandfather
was a well known writer on theology,
His maternal great-grandfathe was a
surgeon of distinction and fought at
Trafalgar under Nelson. He came of a
race of hardy, healthy, we'll developed
men and women, physically mentally
and morally, and was himself prodi-
gious scholar and a vigorous athlete.
DR.. Boris Sidis, OF Harvard univer-
sity and DIR. S. p. Goodhart of Yale,
have written a large volume, entitled
Multiple Personality" based almost
entirely upon their protracted observa-
tlon of Mr.. Hanna after he had met
with AN accident caused by his losing
his footing when he attempted to alight
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-11

from his carriage on the evening of
April 10, 1897. In falling the young
minister struck his head, and he was
carried into neighboring house as one
mortally injured, having lost all con-
sciousness and continuing in such state
more than two hours. When he aWoke
it was to apparently open his eyes upon
a world he had never seen before. Not
only had he never seen the faces of his
family and friends gathered about his
bedside, including his fiancee, but 1t
was the first time he had looked upon
a human face He was like one new
born. He did not know how to articu-
late the simplest sound, nor did he
know how to eat or drink. The most
familiar objects were strange new
things to his unaccustomed eyes. He
had no concepts regarding either time'
space or distance, and after rev
weeks of patient teaching on the part
of physicians and nurses he learned the
use of his hands and feet, how to eat
how to drink and how to grasp objects
just as AZ >little baby learns them under
the eyes of fond parents. Like paoy'
too, he lay in his bed and grasped Tor
distant tree tops seen through the
window and for the moon and the stars
at night.
He learned to talk. syllable by syl-
liable and word by word, as child
learns, but with this difference-that
he learned with startling rapidity. For
the most remarkable and altogether in
explicable thing was that, though he
had lost all the attainments of the pre-
ceding twenty-five years-of a whole
lifetime, in fact-and despite the fact
that he had lost all mental recognition
of the external world, as well as the
internal; although he was mentally re-
duced to a state Of infancy, his intelli-
gence remained intact His zest for ac-
quiring knowledge was keener than
ever. His thirst for knowledge was
even keener than 1t had been in his

man calling himself A. ]. Brown, who
had rented small shop six weeks pre-
vlously, stocked it with candy and
fruit and carried on a quiet trade with
out seeming to any one unnatural or
eccentric, woke up in a fright and
called to the people of the house, want
ing to know where he was. He repu-
dated the name of Brown, declared he
was Ansel Bourne, that he had never
been in Norristown in his life, knew
nothing of shopkeeping, and that he
had gone to the bank the day before
the savings of a lifetime. Telegrams
to and from Providence made every
thing straight, and within a few days
the Rev. Ansel Bourne had returned
to his home. Professor William James
of Harvard conducted experiments
with Mr.. Bourne, as a result of which
this we'll known psychologist declared
that the Rhode Island minister's skull
covers two distinct personalities. that
two independent systems were formed
within the mind of the patient, and
that acting either in one or the other
of these personalities, Mr.. Bourne,
alias Mr.. Brown. was law abiding.
we'll poised and excellent citizen, for
during his residence in Norristown he
had made a good impression, taking
part in prayer meeting and other func-
tions of a religious nature and con-
Quoting his business in thoroughly
enterprising, though strictly honest
and conscientious manner. Hypnotism
produced over and over again the
Brown personality. and no amount of
suggestion while he was in this state
could produce any other personality or
any modification of hfs second self;
passing out of the hypnotic state he
always lapsed into the Bourne per-
sonality.
Another New England minister, a
Connecticut man, furnishes the most

the talk OF half a dozen European
capitals.
Lived Four Lives
A case nearer home is that of Mary
Vaughn of Buffalo. Mary Vaughn has
four personalities, including her pri-
mary one, and two of these are men.
According to her own story, she lived
normal life as Mary Vaughn for
eighteen years; then she died and was
born again as Jesse James. in whose
personality she lived for thirty-five
years, leading a life of adventure and
lawlessness; then she died again and
was born as Mike Muckey. AS Mike
Muckey she lived sixty years, lived in
Ireland all her Cor his) life married
Annie Mccarthy and became the father
of ten children. AS Mike Muckey she
had red hair and whiskers, and died in
prison of delirium tremens, to be born
again as Jennie Longnecker. AS Jennie
Longnecker she did nothing wicked.
In her fifth or present state-she was
still living when Drs. Sidis and Good
heart compiled two years ago their re-
searches on Multiple Personality
she declares she is not Mary Vaughn,
though she seems unable to identify
herself with any of her former person
alties.
The case of "Miss Beauchamp" is the
most fascinating of all the triple per-
sonalities which have come under the
observation of science. "Miss Beau
champ" is a Boston girl of good family
and excellent mental equipment. She
is studious, quiet, reserved. with a
strong leaning towards the religious;
a reader of French, lover of music
and a person Of high idealism. Such
she is when in her normal, her primary
self.

Peciares OF Dual and Triple Personalities

JERSEY Justice in It's matter of fact
dealing with the Wood case has
broken its own record for con-
sistent absence of sentiment with re-
gard to crime and the criminal.
Neither psychic mystery nor physical
beauty makes the slightest appeal to
the hard-headed common sense of a
magistrate for deemster and with
twelve commuters to sift the testi-
mony, that Greek lady, Phryne by
name, would have met her just deserts
Commercially, though sadly unimagin-
ative are Jersey Judges and Jersey
jurymen. Commercially, because it is
within the right of justice to be un-
imaginative; but sadly, because one
cannot but lament that twelve good
men and true and magistrate sober
and wise should have carried their con-
slstency TO the extreme of squelching
all the fascinating potentialities of a
murder defense unique in all the his
tory Of criminal jurisprudence.
1t is evident that the gentlemen of
that unimaginative jury have never
read "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" or
that latest of all multiple romances,

cent Harper. In the latter story the
heroine. Lady Torbeth, an excellent
Christian woman, of the highest social
station in England, belabored with a
triplicate personality, sinks to all the
depths of vice and depravity. Lady
Torbeth is, as everybody in English So
ciety knows. the thinly disguised cog
nomen OF a certain British grande
dame, whose erratic conduct for years
shocked conventional London before 1t

but little was thought of her caprice
Tom Manning passed the house every
day and watched the windows of her
apartment, thinking TO tell by their
signs when she returned. One morning
he observed happily that the blinds
had been thrown open and the shades
drawn, and he Immediately presented
himself at her door. He rang re-
peatedly, but received no response. He
returned again and again that day,
but could not gain admittance. Tom
was keenly intuitive concerning any
one dear to him, and the peculiar man
ner of her departure and the SEEM
ingly unnecessary secrecy concerning
her whereabouts began to assume for
him alarming significance Then to
have returned without summoning her

1 had watched Tom studying the
light and shade through half closed
eyes for time, listening to his ram
bling "reminiscences, until gradually
his voice became inaudible to me, and 1
fell to work, conscious only of the
portrait rapidly growing under my
touch. Half an hour passed when l
was startled by a shout from Tom.
Jack! Old chap, I say! What's the
matter with you? Wake up! Are you
in a trance? You are i'll. What is it,
old fellow?"
He seized me by the shoulders, forced
me up to my feet and led me to the
couch, and looked anxiously into my
face. l felt dazed, but began to realize
that something unusual had occurred.
What is it? What has happened?"
1 gasped.
Don't know, Jack. You gave me a

prior personality and his faculty of
Judgment and power of reasoning were
sound and vigorous as ever.
Under his new personality the young
mans education was begun all over
again. He recovered from the physical
injuries incident to the fall which were
not of serious nature, and gradually
assumed the routine of every day life,
making acquaintance with his family
and former friends.
For the purpose of closer observation
and for treatment Mr.. Hanna was
taken to New York after several
months of Intellectual effort to restore
him to his former condition. Physi-
clans and scientific men believed that
the primary personality might be
aroused by stimulation. and to this end
the young minister was treated to a
series of dssipations in the way of
roof garden entertainments, theaters,
supper parties, etc. Under the stimu-
lation of such excitement his primary
personality returned suddenly one
night after attending roof garden en-
tertainment. He was once more the
serious minded, earnest, scholarly
young clergyman, to whom the pre-
ceding months were an utter blank.
But the change was only temporary,
for in a few days the secondary per-
sonalty returned.
There then followed months of alter
nate personality. In the twinkling OF
an eye the primary personality would
drop into the secondary, and vice versa,
the primary personality gaining in as
tendency however, and eventually as
serting itself supremely, and to the
final exclusion of the secondary per-
sonality altogether.

NNE afternoon about year ago
" a singular incident occurred
that directed my thoughts In an
entirely new channel and brought to me
O realization that 1 was possessed of a
remarkable occult gift. Up to this time
I had never met any one similarly en-
dowed. Thinking that II my case were
laid before scientific researchers tests
might be made that would result in
the discovery of like power, and hop
ing to entertain and perhaps aid the
student of psychic phenomena, / de-
termined to write in detail the strang-
est of many curious experiences since
the discovery of my unique faculty.
on the afternoon referred to as so
eventful, Tom Manning came slowly
into my studio. He looked rather un-
tidy, but that 1 knew merely meant
that life was temporarily too short and
serious for him to spend any part of 1t
considering the trivial details Of dress.
1t was his custom to drop in on me
whenever the world oppressed him and
to spend hours just talking things
over.
How are you, Jack? Give me a well
come. You're my only friend today"
He threw his hat across the room,
himself on a couch, and began to
smoke flercely.
Thought travels slowly for me, and 1
looked him over contemplatively, try
ing to determine from outward signs
the cause of his inward state. At last
I said:
That's all right, Tom, my boy. Try
a little absinthe."
He growled.
I mixed him a brandy and soda. He
drank it with a conciliatory Thanks,
old chap. I'm an ass, you know" Then
he stretched himself at full length and
smoked at the ceiling. 1 let him think
while I sorted my brushes. The day
was dismal and the light so bad that 1
could paint to little purpose.
Tom was a fine man, well trained
physically and mentally. He was not
an artist, but connosseur of such
ability that his criticisms and sugges-
tions were always of value and he was
a welcome guest in all the we'll known
studios. He loved the artists life, and
his income was such that he could fol-
low the promptings of any caprice. He
had no ties. To my mind that seemed
the only thing to deplore in his life.
He was utterly unselish, and 1 be-
lieve such a nature can never be con-
tented alone. 1t was strange to me
that his character had not controlled
and colored his destiny, but he seemed
completely misplaced. He had a heart
big enough for ten, and would have
made a magnificent father of splendid
sons. However, there he lay before
me, at odds with everything, and
grumbled:
I'm in love, 1 s'pose.'

What a waste of good thought force
and heart action" I lamented.

mirably. "Sally" hates the proper,
circumspect Bostonian prudery of
Miss Beauchamp," and torments her
to degree well nigh incredible" de-
clares the prim young lady. For,
strange as it sounds, and inexplicable
as 1t is, while Miss Beauchamp' has
no consciousness of Sally" sally" is
thoroughly conscious of Miss Beau
champ" sally" is not so well edu-
Gated as Miss Beauchamp," and she
hates books. Indeed, she would seem
to have but one passion in life, and
that is to cruelty annoy miss Beau
champ" She loves to play practical
jokes on her. One day she went into
the country and collected a box of
toads and little snakes, brought them
home and addressed them to Miss
Beauchamp." The latter has a terror
of snakes, and when she opened the
mysterious box she fell into con-
vulsions.
Unconscious of Other Selves
In her third personality, which de-
veloped later. Miss Beauchamp" is
unconscious of either of her two selves
but is morose, irritable and given to
alternate fits of depression and bad
temper.
Only too often, however, these pri-
mary causes cannot be Identified, and
then the case becomes one for ignorant
and superstitious awe. For instance,
the Rev. Ansel Bourne of Greene, r. l.,
a popular and we'll beloved minister of
the gospel in that village, drew his
money out of the bank on January II,
1887, and boarded u Pawtucket horse
car. That was the last he remembered.
He did not return home that day, and
an alarm was sent to the police all over
the United States. AS he had no less
than $3.50 with him, 1t was feared that
he had met with foul play. Two
months later at Norristown. Pa. a
