Tho physician was obliged to remain in a dark room for nearly two weeks undergoing torture that would have driven the averago man insane, but he came out with evesight rostored, 1t was the last hope and the resut of ¢hat which partook of the naturo of a dreadful but unavoidable experi- ment_ was in bis favor far as the effects upon his optics wero concerned.

Speaking of the Judge Clarkson ease Post- master Clarkson Joe Clarkson is a no man today. I know he is becauso ho has talked w me upoa a number of sub- Jects just as sanely as ho ever did. It is pos- siblo " that be has not recovered eu tirely from the eflects of that se- vere treatment, but we bope that he will return in the speing fully restored in every faculty, e has talked to me very candialy about his condition, and although the cuso is & most remarkubio oue 1 believe thet medical exp will vet aiscover the exact causo of that sort of derangement, | received o letter the other day from & pnysi- cian in Galesourg, Tll, who said ho was making o special studr of cases of this kind. He was deeply interested in the case and W doubtiess 4 in it some- thing that will throw hight upon that elass of mental afilictions. 1t we bad rveahzed the truo condition uuder which Judge Clurkson was Aaboriug prior to his mysterious departure both he and his fawily @nd all Wis friends might have been spared from the results of this painful incident,” As tho facts in this extraordinary caso come mors and more iuto the light people Wwho were inclined to sueer at the explana- tlon first giveu Ly Judge Clarkson through @ columins of Tue MEE are veginniung 1o bide their heads ard y bodies who seemea soxious to got tueir hands into the old family wound and lacerate 1 afresh are becomiug ashamed of toeir iuhumauily ang sheir utter want of commor sympstby for a fellow veing in distress, Dr. Tiden Believes the Story, Dr. George Tilden, who bas been ove of the commissioners of insanity of Douglas county for Lhe past elghteen vears, said that he acoopted the story of Judge Clarkson in ity entirety, and that the ouly thiug that would make bim think that tho judge was #ane at the tiwe of his disappearance would be the discovery of & 1otive that would be suf ficient 10 sbow the willlnguess of 8 wao to bring wonths of griet and sufforing upon bis amily and friends and to lose & splendid pens: - top as o wap, 8 citizen and & lawyer.

(. Moore said that he was disposed to accept the story of Judge Clarkson as true. He found tho history of many lost identity in the medical wo and veadily recalled a cnso that he had treated himself, 1t was that of a lady who was then and is now a resident of this city. *‘Sho completely lost ner 1dontity,” said the doctor, “and all ner surroundings be- came new to her. Sne uot only had unew name for herself but for eversone ot those with whom she had been associated for years, She know her husband as somo onc else, and ho was no longer her husband. She did not know me as the doctor, but as an altogether different individual, Everythi was changed, and her conception of things was as differcnt from state of affairs as auything that could bo imugined. The troube was brought on by a suppuration of the middle ear that caused he use suffering, and by prolonged lac- tation, for she was nursing a large, healthy infant.

Her mental unbalancing was brought about by physical suffering and exhaustion just as it is claimed Clarkson’s was, ‘The only thing that I can seo that tends to throw discreait on tho story of Judge Clarkson is the fact that he fixed erything %t the lake to give to the world the impression that he was drowned.
