w. c. ]. Parish, a brakeman on the
Baltimore m e & Ohio railway, was in Dr..
Haugh,s rooming house in Lorain the
night Of February 16, 1904: He be-
came Ill and Haugh gave him treat
ment. Then he began growing worse
and was taken to- the hospital, where:
he died.
IT gave him medicine" Haugh ex-
planned when an ambulance called for
him. But it doesn't seem to have
done any good:'
! The physicians thought Parish was
suffering with pneumonia and made no
investigation.
| Dr!*Haugh advocated the painless
killing of all aged and infirm people
and those suffering from incurable dis
eases while he operated in Hamilton, o.
| Before the Transformation.
! 1t is only five years ago that DR..
Haughs was considered an authority in
the state of Ohio on the origin and
composition Of drugs, and about his
laboratory there hung an air of mys-
terry and fascination for the people Of
Dayton, for he boastfully declared: ..
II am at work on the evolution of q
drug, which in it's perfection, will Gre
ate new era of science, a new order
of thought. and new race of beings.
will bring into the reality of day
something more wonderful than
Stevenson in his widest dreams ever
imagined. will prove that which he
only suggested-the certainty that two
beings can exist in. the one body the
one blotting out the influence of the
other"
In those days he had pretty home
on the outskirts of the town presided
over by comely, confiding little wom'
an who was happy in the thought that
her husband was on the verge of a
great discovery which would some day
staltle the world of science.
| = The Unmasking.
But imperceptibly at first there
came a; change over him. He secluded
himself more and more within his lab
orafory, and what at first the wife
thought were only the effects of close
study at last proved to be the violent
reactions of the drugs he had been
taking, for one day she rushed into the
house of a neighbor crying that her
husband, suddenly transformed into a
fiend, would kill her. It was no longer
the DIR. Haugh, whom his wife and the
public had known, but the monster
Mr. Hyde, which his drugs had ere
ated. !: Henceforth he was to be under
! the power and control Of that other
self, that evil personality, which had
been created and fed by the drug he
had been experimenting with, hyoscine
hydrobromate.
The Dark, Mysterious Chapter.
And now begins the dark and mysteri
Gus chapter in his career for which
officers of the law are trying to find
explanation in the long list of mur
ders laid at his door. And the long
limbed, loose-jointed, shambling fig
