p. Haussler the absconding photog-
rapher, who left Pendleton between
two days, owing numerous bills about
trouble. A man named Normal w.
Cook, is now in Jail in Lewiston,
Idaho, charged with criminal con-
spiracy against young man named
Albert Fallen. Haussler and Cook,
Cook claiming to be hypnotized by
Haussler, charged Fallen with mur-
dering his foster father, Louis Fallen.
Haussler and Cook before this, extort-
ed a $500 check from Fallen through
hypnotic influence, and Haussler then
caused Cook to make the charge
against Fallen for the purpose of ex-
torting more money from him.
After coroner's jury exonerated
Fallen from any part in the murder
of his foster father near Lewiston,
Cook, who had made the charges
against Fallen, was arrested on charge
of criminal conspiracy. Haussler, who
is now in Butte, has not yet been ar
rested.
After Cook had been placed in Jail
on the conspiracy charge, he made
the following statement of the case
and of Haussler's influence over him:
Get Haussler: get that man here.
Let him be seem" said Cook. Then
let fair-minded, qualified physicians
examine me. l have been the unfor-
tunate slave of dangerous man. He
is the real criminal. l do not believe
Albert killed old man Faller. l did
accuse him of it, but he only laughed.
Three times l started to the Jail here
to see him when he was in his trou-
BILE, but l could get no further than
the court house gate. Haussler's in
| fluence held me there. Albert was
my best friend. He never made a con-
| fession to me. He laughed at me.
| That matter is all due to Haussler
II have known Haussler for about
year. He is a photographer. He
also holds a physicians diploma from
a German college. He is very refined
in manners-verry very refined. He
! is soft-like and persuasive and is
| kind. He can mesmerize a woman by
! simply placing his hands at her chin
| and the back of the head. This Is
| true. He has controlled other people
than me.
He caused me to come to Butte
and sell my furniture in Spokane
when l had no reason to do so. BY
suggestion he caused me to turn my
affections away from my wife.

I gave it to him. don't know. why
He even took me to Anaconda and

He is dangerous man. They should
bring him here on this case.

BILE loss in business matters relative tc
the photograph gallery in which Al.

Haussler who suggested that l place

signed the matter under the influence
of Haussler. He said something about
Albert making some statement to me
and also one to him. That is my only
recollection of the matter.
"As the Saviour knows l came here
to testify against Albert believing

was arrested on this charge, l die
