ludl I6FOlEeT ue was 10 longer q con-
scious personality. As he himself said
to his wife: They said did it-and
knew I didn't, but after | looked at
that shining plstoloI doa'tf kgow" what
said or did-everything became q
blur and blank. NOV. may tell
you, captain, that this condition fits
in every detail the clinical experiences
OF nerve specialists and the medical
experiences of the psychologists. Aft
er five hGlrs' constant cross-question-
ing while in a semi-dazed condition,
you impressed on him your own ideas
you extracted from him not the
thoughts that were in his own con.
sciousness, but those that were In
yours. Is that the scientific fact, doc
tor?"
YES" replied Dr. Bernstein. the
optical captivation of Howard JET
fries attention makes the whole case
complete and clear to the physician"
Capt. Clinton laughed loudly.
Optical captivation is good" Turn
ing to his sergeant he asked What
do YOU think of that. Maloney?"
Sefgt Maloney chuckled.
Its new one, eh?"
mo, captain-it's very old one"
interrupted the lawyer sternly, but
it's new to us. We're barely on the
threshold of the discovery. 1t GER
tainly explains these other cases,
doesn't it?"
81 don't know that it does,' object
ed the captain. shaking his head Il
don't acknowledge"
Judge Brewster sat down Looking
the policeman squarely in the face,
he said slowly and deliberately:
Capt. Clinton, whether you ac-
knowledge it or not, can prove that
you obtained these confessions by
means OF hypnotic suggestion, and
that is greater crime against society
than any the state Furnishes or pays
you to prevent"
The captain laughed and shrugged
his shoulders. Indifferently he said:
81 guess the boys up at Albany can
deal with that question"
The boys up at Albany" retorted
the lawyer, know as little about the
laws OF psychology as you do. This
viii be dealt with at Washington"
The captain yawned.
II didn't come here to hear about
that-you were going to produce the
woman who called on Underwood the
night of the murder-that was what
came here for-not to hear my meth
DDS criticised-where is she?"
"One thing at time," replied the
Judge. First, wanted to show 20,
that we know Howard Jeffries' con
fession is untrue. Now we'll take ur
the other question: Striking a bel
on his desk. he added: "This wemar
can prove that Robert Underwood
committed suicide"
'She can, eh?" exclaimed the cap
tain sarcastically. Maybe she did il
| herself. Some one did it, that's sure!'
The library door opened and the
butler entered
Yes, some one did it," retorted tn,
Judge; I'VE agree there!" To tn,
servant he said: ASK Mrs. Jeffries
Jr., to come here"
| The servant left the room and tn,
captain turned to the Judge with
laugh
rs she the one? Ha! ha!-that'
easy"
The judge nodded.
She has promised to produce tn
missing witness tonight"
She has, eh?" exclaimed the car
tain.
Rising quickly from his chair, b
crossed the room and talked in q,
undertone with his sergeant. Thi
new turn in the case seemed to intel
est him. Meantime Mr.. Jeffries, VIII
had followed every phase of the quef
tioning with close attention, left hi
seat and went over to Judge Brewster
Is it possible" he exclaimed, "is !
possible that Underwood shot him
self? never dreamed of doubtin
Koward's confession!" More cordial
he went on: Brewster, if this /
true. owe you debt of gratitude
you've done splendid work-I-T1
afraid I've been just trife obstinate.
Just trifie," said the Judge dryl,
| Sergeant Maloney took his hat.
Hurry up!" said the captain, ..yo
can telephone from the corner dru
store"
''All right, cap"
DR.. Bernstein also rose to depart.
