Stokes said:
Yes, | took course with him some
time ago. l think it was very valu-
able DR. Kranz has some valuable
ideas. / took the thing seriously be-
cause l wanted to see just what there
was in 1t.
He has a wonderful instinct in deal
ing with the mind-with psychological
sHbjects.
q don't regret the money 1 spent
on him at all. The hints he gave me
certainly were valuable"
What did you think of DR. Kranz' S
personality" the former governor
was asked.
why, think he is rather peculiar.
| don't think his personality is par-
ticularly attractive 1t doesn't seem
to me that he has the happiest way of
teaching
For instance, he is a very severe
critic. He has that faculty of making
a pupil feel very inconsequential, which
hinders, rather than helps, the pupils
progress, 1 think"
what was the nature of your
studies with Dr. Kranz?" former Gov
ernor Stokes was asked
''I studied psycho-psy subjects
with him. I took the first lesson with
the understanding that I did not need
to continue the course IL l did not like
the study In other words, If l wasn't
satisfied ! didn't need to investigate
further. However, took the complete
course of eight or ten, perhaps, more
...lesssenffss. -
"Dr. Kranz himself, l think, had a
roaming disposition. He left Trenton,
at any rate, and / have not seen hiln
since. He is one of those geniuses who
can teach other people what they are
not able to practise themselves-at
least, that is my impression"
Did you ever meet DR.. Kranz's
wife?" the former governor was asked.
Eyes, once; in a restaurant. They
were dining there and he said that his
companion was his wife. That was the
only time I saw her."
"What sort of place had the doctor
in Trenton?' the reporter asked.
"Oh, he had quite az. Office"
Former Governor Stokes took his les
sons however, in his own rooms.
This statement of the former gov"
ernor, showing Enthusiastically the re-
markable quality of "Dr." Kranz's
work as teacher of psychology and
testifying to the value of his instruc-
tion, corresponds with the statement
of the manager of the local branch of
a large insurance company.
The insurance man testified today to
the value of the lessons he had taken
with "Dr" Kranz.
Because the police wants to keep
these names quiet the Evening STAR,
to aid them, withhods the name of
this man, as well as that of a lawyer
who was formerly on the bench, and
the prominent building contractor
whose story was published yesterday.
The manager of the branch insur-
ance company, when seen by an Eve
ming STAR reporter today, displayed
great hesitation. Finally he admitted
that he knew Kranz and had taken
lessons from him.
But I've been notified by those in
charge of the prosecution" he added,
that l was to keep quiet about the
affair and to say nothing to anyone
that l would be called before the grand
jury to tell what I know"
But you admit you know DR..
Kranz. What was your experience
with him.
He is a most remarkable man;
wonderfully clever. AS a teacher of
psychology he came to me highly rec
commended by members of the bench
and bar. | took several courses from
him and paid him in the neighborhood
of $100.
"I was absolutely satisfied to pay
him that amount because | derived
much bapaff frop, bic no1rca Of in
struction. He visited me at my office
at the time we arranged During the
time l knew him | found nothing that
would show him to be anything but
gentleman.
'On account of the Interruptions dur
ing my lessons he suggested that I
call at his office at - Rector street.
did this. and the first time 1 called
he was at home and the lesson pro-
gressed as usual.
when | went to keep my next APP
pointpent, however, he was not home.
His wife-I supposed it was his wife
then-reeeived me and said that her
husband would be back at any mo-
ment.
Il waited few moments. Then GER
tain things the young woman said
made me suspicious and ] hurriedly
left"
When pressed for a complete story
of what occurred at the doctors
home the insurance manager became
evasive and uneasy. He finally adj
mitted that the woman had told him
part of the story of her life, the sordid
recital of which later caused the arrest
of Kranz
why don't you leave him? l asked
her." the insurance man continued
"'But can't, she answered He
