He finally consented TO attempt to hyp-

Accordingly after the show last night
Bundha appeared on the stage with Nc

two men all the evening. The Hindu did
not make any frantic gestures. but sue
ceeded in placing McRae in Il state Of
catalepsy in less than five minutes by

At the end of that time McRae toppled
over and nearly split his skull on the
iron rim of the footlights. He was placed
on stretcher and carried out to his
temporary bed in the earth. while all
Luna Park 'trailed after him. During the
trip The Star reporter satisfied himself
that McRae was actually hypnotized by

arm.
