arrested after he had trouble with
two other men near Second and Scott
streets, was arraigned in police court
yesterday on a charge of disturbing
the peace and had a sentence of 80
days in jail suspended over him ~ the
magistrate. George Bennett, whom
Baker is alleged to have attacked. was
freed by the court. A dispute over a
$40 bill resulted in the arrest OF John
T Mulligan and J. A. Killeen. Kilieen
is said to have related a story of hav.
ing been rolled" by Mulligan. po-
lice investigation, however, has failed
to give much credence to the mans

were exchanged. The case was con,

MILES HOOTS At.
'HYPNOTIzING'
Of GENTRY
Detective Who Secured Affidavit
Branding Dictograph Records
False Calls Reports Absurd,

Edward O. Miles, the private detec-
tive who secured from George Gentry
the affidavit declaring the Felder-Col-
var Woodward photograph records
were padded denied Friday morning
that he had hypnotized the young
stenographer and forced him 20 sign
the affidavit which was witnessed by
a notary public in Washington, D. c.
There were reports around police
headquarters that it would be charged
that Gentry had been hypnotized.
Miles admitted he is a hypnotist
or rather that he had studied the
science some ten or fifteen years ago
but declared he hoped he had more
sense than to try to obtain atfidayits
or any other kind of evidence by that
means.
In the first place" Miles declared
you can't hypnotic a man unless he
wants to be hypnotized, unless by
some chance you find a person Of I'M
usually low mental Caliber. l don't
remember having nypnotized a person
who had much sense. In fact, | don't
think | even have tried to hypnotic
any one for several years.
4 couldn't have hypnotized young
Gentry if ] had wanted to. He is a
young man Of unusual intelligence,
and the only way he could be hyp-
Noticed would be for him to place
himself absolutely in the control of
the hypnotist and be perfectly willing
that il be done.
Il don't know who started the ru-
NOR. but it is certainly foolish. Cen
try has some influential people in At
lanta and If he ever made any claims
that he was hypuotized when he signed
any papers the man who hypnOtized
him would be hooted out of town
Gentry signed the affidavit without
any persuasion at all. In fact he had
contemplated making it, and had most
of it prepared when l got to Wash
ington."
Miles said he had no further con
nection with the photograph case. He
said his work was done when he went
to Washington and got the amiday.t
from Gentry.

on a report made here recently by
