Hypnotist's Work at Public Ex-
hibitiOn Ended Fatally.
Performer Is Under Arrest and
in State Of Collapse.
"A PANIC SEIZED HIM
When He Could Not Restore
Victim to Consciousness.
Physicians We're Called But
Could Not Give Aid.

Somerville, n. T., Nov. e-The vic
lin of a hypnotic experiment, Robert
Simpson is dead and Prof. Arthur
Everton of Newark, the hypnotist, is
under arrest and in state of collapse
today
Simpson was hypnotized at a per-
tormance in a theater here last night
After placing the man in a cataleptic
state the hypnotist performed numer-
c US tests in the presence of the audi
ence to show the thoroughness of his
work When the time came to end the
rests, however, Prof. Everton found
that his work to all appearances, had
been too thorough. The subject could
rot be- revived.
In panic the hypnotist called
upon physicians who, after laboring a
long time over Simpson, pronounced
him dead.
Notwithstanding this decision the
man was taken to a hospital where
efforts were made to revive him. No
results having been obtained after
several hours. Eyerton was arrested.
The authorities later toda< granted
Everton permission to call in another
professional hypnotist from Newark
to make a last effort to revive Simp-
son.
A third hypnotist was summoned
from New York, by the theater man

Simpson had been employed by the
hypnotist as professional subject for
little more than a week and when the
performance, WHICH was the first at
this place. began last night he seemed
in normal health. Everton passed his
hands over Simpsons face a number
of times while the young man was
lying on the floor and soon Simpson S
body became rigid Everton then
raised it and placed it on the back of
two chairs with the head resting on
one and the ankle resting upon the
other. The professor stood on the
body of his subject to show that
Simpson was in complete cataleptic
state.
When Eyerton had bowed his
acknowledgment of the large aud
ience's applause, he stood the rigid
body erect. leaning it against a back
wall and then sought to bring con-
sciousness to the subject. The aud
ience soon realized that Everton had
become highly excited when his first
efforts failed. Simpson was carried
behind the scenes and doctors called,
but it was useless, the doctors saying
that Simpson had died while cata-

Secretary Of Interior Replies to

Says CLAWS Story Is Tissue of

the Secretary.
Charges Presented to President
Who Found Them Lacking.

Washington, Nov 9.-Secretary Bal
linger of the department of the interior
today issued the following statement:
My attention has been directed to
the text of an article purporting to
have been written by Mr.. L. r. CLAWS
which is to appear in Golfers Weekly
and advance copies of which have been
furnished by that weekly to the press.
The CLAWS story is a tissue of false
hood and insinuations utterly unwar-
ranted in view of the facts easily OBJ
tanned by anybody who wants them.
1t is not surprising that a publica-
tion which could in pursuit of this same
propaganda reckleSsly under date of
October 80, reproduce view appearing
on familiar railroad folder of the
Grand River Canyon in Colorado, as a
picture of an available power site
which was in danger of unlawful ac-
QUESTION on the South Platte river, 200
miles away and across the continental
divide. should be willing, without the
slightest effort, to ascertain the facts,
to give wings to story which had
heretofore been submitted to SO great
and just man as the president of the
United States. who after a most care
full consideration therefore in which he
had before him the entire files of the
general land office and of the secretary
of the interior relating to each and
every one of the matters presented.
pronounced the charges without justi-
fication.
THE statement of CLAWS has gained
nothing either as to it's veracity or
justification in the interval sinces its
presentation to the president and in
view of the complete vindication by the
president of myself and other officers
of the department concerned. I will
make no further statement at present. -

am an unhappy woman who should

Steinheil, on the resumption of her
trial here today for the murder of
her husband and step-mother. The
appeal came during the testimony of
jewellers with reference to the
changes of jewelry confided to them
by the prisoner but which she
originally claimed had been stolen by
the aSSaSsinS.
The prosecuting judge responded
that accused persons always repeated
that cry when embarrassed for an
answer.
Nine. Steinheil admitted anew that
she had certain jewels, the gifts of her
admirers. melted. but she maintained
that this was done to keep the facts
of her life from the knowledge of her
daughter.
From this point Nine. Steinhei1
then assumed an aggressive attitude,
which continued during the examina-
ton of several witnesses and resulted
in series of lively tilts between her
and Judge Devalles.
When reproached for having con-
ceaIed the fact that she possessed
imitation duplicates of her jewels, she
defended her secrecy on the ground
that she wished to hide from her
friends, the family's condition.
When the journalists testified Nine.
Steinheil was greatly depressed when
she confessed to them that she had
book and then accused Wolf. the
prisoner interrupted to declare the
newspaper men had tortured her into
speaking one even having twisted
her wrists to make her talk
Deny They Used Force.
The reporters continuing their tes-
ti1nony denied they had used force
suspected woman to confess. Their
testimony was most damaging to the
defendant.
NJ Barby. a photographer, testified
that when Nine. Steinheil was con-
vinced she would be arrested she
wished to commit suicide. The wit
ness said at the critical moment in
the interview between Mime. Steinheil
and the newspaper men Mariette
Wolf the cook entered the room and
the two women fell into each others
arms. After a momentary display of
emotion the two women withdrew to
corner of the room. where they
conversed in whispers
After the cook had left Nine. Stein
he'll told the reporters the Wolf
woman had said she would deny
everything if her mistress was ar
rested. Turning to the reporter. who
had made this last statement, Judge
Devalles asked:
"Do YOU understand the full gravity
of your testimony against Nine. Stein
heil?"
To this the witness replied:
"I accept full responsibility
The Judge then cross examined the
defendant concerning the photo-
grapher's testimony but her only reply
was "I don't remember"
