“TALKS WITH DEAD' BELIEVED INSANE Doctors Advise Girl “Spiritual- ist” Removed o Asylum (Special to the Herald) Southington, Feb. 25 — Attract- ed by the possibility of communicat- ing with the spirits of departed rela- tives, hundreds of people in the last few days have visited at the home of Pasquale Cucci of Water street to ask his 15 year old daughter, Mary, questions about departed ones. The girl, always in delicate healtl, Tuesday, seized with a strange mal- ady which three doctors have diag- nosed as a mental trouble. Propped up in bed in a sra of pillows, the girl, with staring eyes, answers questions plied to her and although many have no belief in her powers of communication with the spiritual world, scores have come away satisfied that she is possessed of a special gift. The first symptoms of the strange malady became apparent last Tues- day when the girl told her father that she was in communication with her mother who died about a month ago. She told her father that the mother had notified her that she was very happy and had asked her to pray for her. She assured the child, tha girl claimed, that she would be taken care of. The girl holds a prayer book in her left hand and with her right hand accepts money or other gifts from persons who believe that an in- terview with her is worth anything. In a room adjoining the sick cham- ber are baskets of fruit and other things brought by those who have songht spiritual advice. Because of this, many are in- clined to doubt the veracity of the | girl's claims and they say the entire affair is nothing hut a hoax. The police and town authorities are giving the case a great deal of attention. Three local doctors who visited the home have declared that it is a mental case and have advised her removal to the state hospital at Middletown or to a retreat. So great has the interest in the case become that yesterday amd to- | day it has been necessary to allow only a certain number of persons in the home at one time.

Beach, Fla, Feb. 24— It can be said of Corporal Jiggs II that he can be found at the very seat of any situation which the Ma- rines may have in hand. And if this seems to call for an explanation, know then poral Jiggs II is the pedigreed English bulldog that mascots the Marines — the same Jiggs that es Lieutenant James Joseph Tunney, better known as “Gene,” gave to the Corps. What brings Jiggs into the lime- light at this moment is the fac that Marine Headquarters at ashington has delivered into ands of the world champ, at his training quarters here, the of- ficial record book of his protege. Wherein are to be found two items responsible for the discip- line to which this important dog- dom personality is now being sub.

This one reads: “Headquarters U. Corps, Washington, D. C. — For chasing a stenographer down the hall, transferred to Tunney train- ing camp for proper training.” Not so good, mused Tunney.

He has served at the recruiting station, New Yeork, at headquar- ters in Washington, at Quantico, Vi Division Headquarters, Ma- rine Barracks, Chicage, and at present is atationed at Parris ls- land, 8.
