What Puzzles Layman
Clear to Scientist.

The layman. fascinated by such a
story and its apparent inconsistencies,
will Immediately ask:
How could Ella Gingles have placed
herself IN this condition? Why and
how would she inhict torture upon her
self2 II Is an unreal hypothesis, unbe-
lievable almost"
Yet, DIR. William Krohn. noted Chi
cago expert. says that medical juris-
prudence abOunds in somewhat parallel
cases. He believes the girls story OF
persecution TO be purely imaginary. She
is, to his mind, in the hystericaI rather
than the paranoiac class. She belongs
to the martyr class" those who brood
over fanciful wrongs and houndings.
DR.. William A. White, superintendent
Of the Government Hospital for the In
sane of this city sees in Ella Gingles'
narrative the probable product OF a dis
ordered mind. Her fortunes might have
been self-inficted In moments OF what
is termed "hysterical delirium.' a state
much similar TO dream delirium"

Cesare Lombroso, foremost Grimm
ologist and Italian scientist, records
several similar cases in his work, "The
Female Offender" For instance. under
the subdivision Of 'hysterical offenders. -
he says:
Maria Y. (aged twenty-thFee) was
found unconscious, deeply cut In regu-
lar manner all over her face and body,
her hands tied, her mouth gagged with
a handkerchief, and her eyes tied down
with the strings of her cap.

utely described, as being responsible for
her plight. The case was proven In
court to be hysterical invention.
Another woman burnt her hands
with live Goals in order to accuse anoth-

Story Of Girl
From Three Angles.

This is the Ella Gingles, young Irish
girl Of mystery, as seen from her own
viewpoint, from that Of the alienists
who deride her story but find in her an
interesting subject, and that Of the
scores who have fiocked voluntarily 10
her support.
Arrayed against her are the scientists,
the neurologists. and trained experts Of
the prosecuting attorneys Office, backed
by a skepticaI detective force. Aligned
with her are many philanthropists, wo-
men most of them, such as Mrs. 7. G.
Kent, president OF the Daughters of the
