and the ushers were to be DR.. John
Cochrane, Of Baltimore; Richard
Vollmer, Henry Haase. John Ober-

since developed, were unknown to
the Loderhose family except Miss
Anna Schriefer.

While showers and parties in
honor of Miss Loderhose were given,
Emmanuel Lutheran Church became
the center Of the wedding prepara-
tions. Though the church has
good pipe organ, it was the wish Of
the groom to give it new $4,000
pipe organ. The offer was conveyed
to the pastor, who took it up with
his parishioners. The church was
also to be deliberately decorated,
SO 900 worth of flowers being used,
and songbirds were to be released
during the ceremony.
An unusual alteration in the
church, which Miss Loderhose de-
sired, served to impress the wedding
plans upon the church leaders. The
church was built after plans which
won the first prize at the Chicago
Worlds Fair. It so happened that
the first four rows of seats extended
clear across the room, SO that there
was no center aisle for the bridal
procession.
What would wedding be without
an unobstructed passageway for the
wedding party to the altar? So it
was planned to saw through the four
offending pews.
Then, on October 20, with the
wedding set for November II, the
crash came. Miss Sophie got long
o.st..n.e phone call from French
i.icn Sp1ings, Ind. 1t told her THAI
DR.. John Cochrane, the best man,
and his chauffeur had been instantly
killed in an automobile accident,
and that DR.. Hoffman, himself was
seriously injured. The following
day a call came saying DR.. Hoff-
manrl's condition had taken a serious
turn. Later came message saying
he was dying, and finally third an
nouncing his death.
Miss Loderhose was Frustrated
with grief. She donned mourning,
refused herself to callers, and had

in scientific psychology nothing
is abnormal" said Dr.. Morris, in
prefacing his comments to a Trib-
une reporter. apparently this case
is like many others, where sincere,
honest people, speaking with the
words Of mystery and also conWc-
ton, were believed for a time, be-
cause mystery and conviction, sug-
costing action, are positive.
Both Miss Sophie and Miss En-
lie say they have seen DR.. Hoff-
mann and his family, but no one else
has. do not doubt for an instant
that the two sisters saw the Hoff-
MAINS. Let me illustrate:
"People see and believe as they
desire. The wish is the father to
the object seen. If Miss Sophie Lo-
derhose, all her life inclined to lead
d solitary life, should have secretly
desired to have a beau like other
girls, it is not impossible that out Of
her dream desires in time the real
love emerged, and she saw him in
real life, though others may not have
done so.
Let me illustrate again. A man
perhaps has eaten apples during his
whole lifetime, yet he probably can
not tell you how many seed compart-
ments there are in an apple. He has
perhaps bought or caught Goldfish all
his life, but cannot tell the number
Of fins a Goldfish carries. This same
man may be ready to give quite an
accurate description of the hoop
snake, which never existed. From
the tales told at the country store
his imagination has pictured a con-
crete form of snake which is imper-
ishable because there are no facts to
be entered in denial Of his picture.

Ser
No. I447 Dean Street. Borough OF BROOKLYN cere the
L0derhOse girls live here that Miss Sophie Loder
hose received the many iongisance telephone calls from
the sutton ,pI,o is looked upon as q myth

from the car. All efforts to find it
failed"
At the same time no motive for
such cruel hoax could be suggested
by Miss Loderhose or her friends
Was it money? She was not
wealthy. On the contrary, the au
thor of the hoax must have spent
several thousand dollars upon Miss
Loderhose.
Was it notoriety? What is the
good Of notoriety if no one knows
who you are? The unknown joker
certainly had failed in that.
Was it simply the hoax Of some
rich person with an iron1cal, dia-
bolical sense Of humor? What could
be more cruel than to raise a girls
hopes in marriage and then crush
her before family and friends at the
steps of the altar?
Or is the case simply a psychology
ical study fit for William James
or Freud-where not one person
but several are bound up in a psy-
Geological tangle?
Testing various solutions of a
mystery by the process Of elimina-
ton is one way Of solving a prob
lem. For example, test the fact Of
DR.. Hoffmann's existence.
DR.. Hoffman, was described as
wearing a naval lieutenant's uni
form, but his picture, which has
been destroyed, showed him in a
sack suit. Those who saw it de-
scribe it as a theatrical looking pic
ture of man with a thin face.
Why was the picture destroyed?

the sun will shine through the
clouds against tight and do not
trouble us and we will see that you
are not troubled"
What makes the case the moro
battling is that from the start the
natural tendency of outsiders to
charge a hoax on the part of Miss
Loderhose has been recognized by
the Loderhose sisters and the
brother-in-law, Mr.. Phillips, and was
frankly faced. In a statement on
this point Miss Emile said:
II want to clear up the absurd
idea that my sister faxed the TO
nance from start to finish. If she
did this, then how can any one &C
count for the telephone calls which
l and others know actually were re-
ceived? There was nothing myth
cal about these calls. The bell would
ring and my sister would answer
| seldom answered the phone be-
cause of my difficulty in hearing
over it,
Miss Emile Loderhose was
equally frank in explaining the loss
Of about $4,000 worth of jewels
last December. ''It is true / lost
these" she said, "but it is ridiculous
to look for connection between
this loss and the engagement ring
received by my sister in February.
The loss, which was annoying but
not serious, occurred while l was
riding in motor car with my
brother-in-law on Christmas night.

More Mystery

The fact that, so far, the places
where the ring, the flowers, the
candy and other gifts sent Miss Lo-
derhose were purchased have not
yet been found adds to the mys-
terry Of the case. The arrival of
messages after the death announce
ment, which would tend to show
that the hoax is not yet completed,
further complexities the mystery.
If, as Miss Emile Loderhose says,
her sister has not invented the
whole story; If phone calls and
messages continue to arrive even
when the third sister is present,
then some one has spent lot of
money on cruel hoax for no ap-
parent motive.
AS q love mystery, as a Haw-
thorne tale, and as Sherlock
Holmes case for detectives. the case
as it stands to-day depends upon
finding the unknown sender of gifts
phone calls and so on.
What of the problem as a study
for Freud or William James?
Some light is thrown on the case
by Dr.. Robert 7. Morris, the emf
nent New York surgeon and writer.
DR.. Morris takes the view that this
may be borderland case of type
where one persons seeing, hearing
and believing things which others do
not credit is part Of reality Dr.
Morris feels sure that Miss Loder-
hoses fiance and family never ex-
listed, although some persons by

kilograms

In spite Of this seeming fraud, the
mystery deepened Immediately after
the death announcement. Some $50
kilograms of sympathy began to
pour into the Loderhose home
over the telephone from Western
Onion. Many of them were signed
by distinguished persons, such as
William Howard Taft and Vincent
Astor. Mrs. Phillips was present
with her two Frustrated sisters when
many Of these messages arrived.
No address was given on the mes
rages.
Then followed telephone calls
from some unknown person saying
that all would be explained in time.
Then note was slipped under
the door saying, among other
things: Owe are very sorry we had
to do all this. If you do as we say

Other Images

THE disturbed brain which ordi-
narily retains retinal images may
be so stimulated by intense thought
as to place other images upon the
retina, and under these circum-
stances tho individual is perfectly
sincere N stating that the things
were seen, for they were seen.
Images have been actually
placed upon the retina from behind
by disturbed brain cells. These are
quite as real as images placed upon
the retina from in front.

sees things When one man shoots
another for deer in the woods il
is probable that the image Of the
