HYPpOTISM The CAUSE
Of FAMOUS bath
TUB MYSTERY"
Here Is A Sweet Morsel for
Those Who Believe In
The Black Art.

New York, Dec. 26.--Ths tragic
death Of Mrs. ocey WardloV Martin
snead, in q 'house Of mystery il
Flatlands, where her body was found
in q bath tub, has renewed interest
in that strangest Of all problems
crime hunters have to contend with
that Of hypnotism.
Doctors who examined the wonan's
body. which was emaciated to the
point Of absolute starvation, declared
the woman had been hypnotized.
Attorneys who were called to the
house Of mystery at midnight to
draw the woman's will, also say she
was hypnotized.
And in support Of their words the
police declare that she was not only
hypnotized, but starved to death af-
ter being put under some strange
spell. An old woman lived with her
alone-Miss Virginia Wardlow, her
aunt.
Motive for the death Of Mrs.
Snead there is a plenty. Her life
was insured heavily, and she had
property worth 100000. But at
every turn the police are beaten
from their inquiry By the battling
mystery Of hypnotism.
Police Of the future must be hyp-
notists," said Captain Coughlin, in
charge Of the case, to The Times cor
respondent. Unless they know how
to hypnotic others, how can they
unravel the crime that is due to hyp-
notism designed to fool them? More
and more as | come in touch with
crime, ! am convinced that the Grim
inal Of the future will be a clever
hypnotist. It will prove 50 in this
case.
Miss Wardlow, in jail, says moth
ing. It is up to Us to find out
whether this young woman was hyp-I
notised to death Or not, and not be-
ing ~bypnotists ourselves, We cant
it,
"Hypnotized to deathp win this
be the coroner's verdict Of the future?
Lawyers and doctors called before
she died TO Mrs. Snead's bedside, tell
remarkable tales of how two aged
women waved strings Of beads before
the eyes Of the emaciated young ma
tron, and brandished Bibles as they
chanted passages from the Scriptures.
When they did 50, the woman was
rigid and speeehless. When they
left the room, her reason returned.
@Hypnotized; starved and hypao-
explains Captain Coughlin in
telling how the woman died. Her
mind vas controlled By other minds.
How are we to explore the infinite 70
find a murderer?
"Hypnotism leaves no trail. It's
work in this case was deadly.
Yes, you mark my words; police
Of the future must be h~ypnotists.
