such as his and grow to be normal adults"
 Meanwhile other physicians, scientists and laymen are curiously examining the boys history. Human vampires are ad- mitted to exist by science, and many people contend that Bernard is one of these pathetic examples of twisted men, tality.
 Exponents of this theory to account for the boys actions point to the case. g few years ago, of an aged crone on the island of Haiti who was convicted of se- cretly imbibing blood from her nine-year- old niece, causing the child to decline n if stricken with some wasting disease.
 They point again to the Countess Ba- thori, rich and beautiful Hungarian woman, who owned a castle in the Car pathian Mountains. At her trial, which took place three hundred years ago, she was convicted of abducting young and attractive peasant boys and girls, chain ing them to posts in dungeon of her castle and visiting them nightly to drink their blood through opened veins.
 There are other cases of genuine human vampires on record, and it is pos sible that this is the hapless mania from which little Bernard is suffering.
 His mother has her own theory as to the cause of his condition. She recalls that about four months before he was
New Britain herald., 1928-09-15

mans, noted child psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins University, made a study of all the circumstances. Here is the opinion he advances as to the cause, the prog nosis and cure of the youngster' malady:
 Bernard Walassic belongs to the class commonly known as 'emotionally unstable. Unless his vicious habits are cured now he may grow up to become a criminal. Now there is . chance. Our penitentiaries and hospitals are filled with types such as he represents Their lives might have been saved if they had been taken in hand at this boys age.
 "Whippings and punishments will do no good. In defectives of this kind their grievances are increased by such meas ures, and the peculiar delusions under which they suffer are thus aggravated.
 "Just as l would find myself lost if called upon to run things in some executive capacity to which I had not been trained, 50 Bernard finds himself lost in the games of normal children. He retaliates by biting and other extreme measures. His desire to see blood flow is actuated by . liking for seeing other people suffer.
 ''He should be placed in an institution at once. There he can be studied by com- potent men and treated. It is his only chance of cure. Many times children, with proper care. outgrow complexes
New Britain herald., 1928-09-15

It is said in the vicinity of Bernard's home that he may have attacked many more children than the three who caused him to be examined by physicians. Per haps dozen or even score, say his play mates, who now carefully avoid the lad with the biting mania.
 The doctors who took charge of the case declare that when Bernard appeared in the clinic for his first examination he refused to answer questions and showed his contempt for the proceedings by storming through the room, kicking things about and throwing whatever he could lay hands upon. It was with diff ficulty that they persuaded him to sub. init to the tests.
 Nearly every student of child psychol- ogy who has had to do with Bernard be- lieves that here is no ordinary case of a "bad boy" While they concur in the belief that, with shrewd care, he has . chance to become a worthwhile and nor nal citizen, they consider his predicament very grave at the present time.
 Not often do the shivery apparitions of detective thrillers materialixe into flesh and blood. "Dracula." that creepy play from the book by Bram Stoker, dealt with a Transylvanian nobleman who sated his cravings by drawing the blood of young maidens. It Is possible that, un- less this Baltimore boy is given care that
New Britain herald., 1928-09-15

cares for cases like his, it will be interest ing to watch the development of the poor little vampire bcy." Perhaps as he grows older the mania which now en- slaves him will be slowly conquered and after . few years he may emerge with normal tendencies.
 Psycho-pathologists admit, however, that he must be watched closely for long time. Though his "biting obsession" will quite possibly disappear, there remains the chance of . recurrence.
 Of the notorious human vampires who have faced legal prosecution in the past there is, as far as can be ascertained. not . single case of . total cure. But on the other hand no case of a person of Der nard's tender years has been known. He may be young enough to overcome this malady which is past the comprehension of normally oomplexed individuals.
 All Mrs. Walassic can do now is to turn her son over to science and await the verdict of the years. Hope lies in the remarkable advances of mental research during the present decade. Strange facts have been unearthed about the thyroid, pituitary and other hitheto unexplored glands of the body, and if Bernard is suffering from a disease hinging upon improper functioning of these mysterious organs the whole course of his life may Dc changed by application of what science
New Britain herald., 1928-09-15

already knows about them.
 By glandular theraphy cases as stub- born as Bernard's seem to have been al. most miraculously improved.
 Finally, shrewd students have suezesAsi an even more optimistic explanation of the boys case. They point out that quits possibly his malady may be an entirely simple result of having been told net to do the things which have puzzled and alarmed his family and friends. It may be that his peculiar psychological reaction prompts him to stubbornly persist in . eourss which he has found, by accident to bs annoying to his elders.
 Dr. Hohmans is of the opinion that Bernard's predicament is not a mild and simply disposed of as this, however. He believes that the trouble is much mora deep-seated, and that the boy actually derives pleasure from sinking his tsetk into human flesh. In any case, modern medicine and modern methods give him . chance of cure far beyond what ho would have had even twenty-five ysa.s ago.
 Thus no one need fear that America will witness counterpart of the fearful character in Balzac's "Le Succubus'- most shocking of fctional human van. pires-for the Baltimore boy will be under the watchful eye of Twentieth Csatary science.

They were brought home cut and bleeding. 1 couldn't for get that sight, and I be- lieve my son may have been affected by these things before his birth"
 Dr. Hohmans, how ever, scoffs at this ex- planation. I'M C dical science has proved that pre-n atal conditions have nothing to do with . child's habits" he maintains.

The Family Welfare Society of Baltimore immediately took an in- terest in the case. They found that Bernard had heen first treated for strange symptoms" two years ago. just after the diphtheria attack. At that time physicians recommended thst the boy be put in q corrective institution, but Mrs. Walassic was materially reluctant to do this.
 After the three victims of the "boy vampire" complained to the authorities and Bernard's case was brought to light. Dr. Leslie B. Hoh-

 Yet to the casual ob- server he seems to be . more than ordinarily mild hammered and well-behaved youngster. His features have the healthy innocence that you would expect to find in the face of a care fully sheltered and rather shy boy. He seldom shows any of the wild fury with which he is credited except when he is in one of his "tantrums," such as on the occasion of his visit to the doctors. @
 His mother declares that one of her biggest prob lems is to keep him from running away. Several times she has hidden Bernard's clothes to make him stay in, only to find that he is unconcerned about lack of covering, and will attempt to run out into the street without a stitch on.
