Gabrielle Bonpard murder case, which
created a great sensation in France a
few years ago, suggested the incident TO
his mind.
The old saw that truth is stranger
/ than fiction is illustrated by the method
used by Wilbur n. Bates, now press
representative for Klag Z Granger, in
obtaining a confession from one OF the
negroes who murdered pr. ]. Highe
Hill at Wilmington, Nd, fourteen years
ago. In his reportorial days Bates was
an expert Sherlock Holmes He was
serving the Philadelphia Press when
called into the case resulting in the feat
of hypnotism which parallels so remark
ably the fictive confession in Mr.. Dix
on's play.
The instructions to the young report
er were as follows: Bates, go to Mil
lington. find who killed Dr. Hill, and
catch the men that did itF' He arrived
in the little town on the third day after
the crime had been committed Within
twenty-four hours several negro sus-
poets had been placed under arrest and
when cOrnered one of the younger boys
had made a partial confession 1t SEEM

he does is taken on his brain and a

to the spell and Bates realized that he
must do something right here more
thoroughly to scare him. He sprang
from his chair. grasped the eolored man
by the throat. and yelled;
What did you do with that knife you
held in your hand?'
When he grasped Brown he threw
more energy into his act than he had in
