10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1896. TWO STRANGE CASES OF HYPNOTIC TRANCE Remarkable Story Told by Henry T. Clarke of New Haven. Since He Kissed His Wife Good- By Everything Has Bzen a Blank. AN UNINTERRUPTED SLUMBER. ‘ to | Hypnotist Kennedy Undertakes Entrance George Cheshire for an Entire Week. | i | Henry T. Clarke of New Huven, Coun., is under arrest in the City Prison for em- bezziement. He tells a most extraordi- nary story of being in a trance for about seven weeks. During that time he trav- eled on the cars, ate, slept ana walked around, and yet he declares he absolutely knew nothing till yesterday morning in the Winchester House on Third On September 26 Treadwell th, Su- | perintendent of Police of New Haven, sent a letter to Chief Crowley that Clarke was wanted there on a charge of embezzling $456 in coin and $520 in checks belongi: to his employers, Peck & Bishop, transfer freight and ticket agents, Enion station. He disappeared and it was believed he had | gone to this City. The letter said further | that Clarke was 35 years of age, 5 feet 111 '\ 3 3 | I | saw me. | examined Lohner v | vulse to be at fever heat and his respira- | audience could see, the medical collegeat New Haven, I nearly lost my eyesigntand was laid up with con- gestion of the brain. Since then I have had occasional spells of unconsciousness, but never anything like this. I felt it com- ing on for days before and should have taken to my bed, but I tried 1o overcome it, and this is the result. My wife has been a sick woman for years, and I want to get back to her. I am afraid my absence has killed her. I | may have written to her, but I have no recollection of doing so. I repeat, that everything to nte is a blank from the time I kissed my wife good-by till I awoke morning in the Winchester House. s soon as I recovere | my senses I got a directory and searched for the Episcopal as I was a member of the choir oval church in New Haven. I went to St. Luke’s and inquired for the rector, but he was engaged and Mr. Shaw I told my story to him and he brought me to poiice headquarters.” Although the story is so improbable Ciurke persisted in saying it was true in every particular. There were many kinds of fun at the Bush-street Tneater last night during this Kennedy'’s efforts to put Atbert Lohner in | a hypnotic trance to last for a week. Lobner was introduced to the audience as a single man, aged 47, who was willing to sleep in a glass case a week if the hyp- notist could develop sufficient power to perpetuate the slumber for so long a period. Drs. 8, C. Mish and D. Bradley Piymire and discovered Lis tion on the racetrack before Kennedy’s maeagnetic touch had fallen upon him. The too, that Lohner’s condition was oné€ of exhilaration. In spite of the evidences that he had taken a good many farewells with friends before entering the land of Nod, Kennedy vassed his hands over the subject’s fore- { head and it was but a few minutes until slumber fastened itself upon h.m. He was the raised 10 the ceiling in his glass cageto a point in full view of the galleries. After half an hour had passed | in the entertainment the gods in the gal- lery began to cry out that the subject was awakening and trying to climb out of the box. He was hastiiy lowered, roused from the sleep and dismissed, after which he wended lus way toward good spirits again, Kennedy, however, had anticipated the | denouement and had providea an under- | study in the person of George Cheshire of the Hancock House, who was imme- diately put into what the doctors pro- | nounced a hypnouc trance and raised to the ceiling in the glass ¢ not to wake up until 10 p.

Captain Lees at police headquarters and introduced Clarke to the captain. The clergyman said that Clarke had waited | upon him that morning and told him of having found aimself here, but how he got here or when he had not the slightest recol- lection, and he thought it advisable to bring him to polic: headquarters. The captain showed Clarke the letter he received from Superintendeni of Police Smith, and after Clarke had perused it he broke down. He said he had no recollec- | tion of taking the money or checks, and the last thing he remembered was kissing his wife good-by before he left home for hisoffice. Since then everything had been | a blank to him till this morning. He said | he was prepared to zo back to New Havea | withount reguisition papers. Captain Lees immediately wired to Su- | perintendent Smith that Clarke had sur- rendered himself and was willing to re- turn without requisition papers. He was | locked up in the tanks pending the ar- | rival of an officer from New Haven. Clarke was seen in the City Prison and | was only too anxious to talk. “Itisa| fact,” he said, “that the last thing I re- | member was kissing my wife good-by— | some time in September—before I left | home to go to the office. 1 remember nothing more till I awoke in the Winches- ter House this morning. I made inquiry | ana found that I had registered on No- vember 3 under the namea of A. Walker. “I cannot understand why I registered | :nder an assumed name. | ! I know a man | the name of Walker, but his first name | is not A. “‘1 have no recollection whatever of tak- ing the money, but I suppose I must have | done o or how could I have got here, as I had oniy $1 50 in my pocket when I ieft bome that morning. I have two valises filled with clothes which I must have boucht, a8 I had nothing with me when I | left home. I have no checks, and if I took them also it is a mystery to me what could have become of them. I have only $3 leit, so I must have spent all the money except tha; amount. ““When I was 23 years of age, attending OYAL —Absolutely Pure— The greatest of all the bak- ing powders for strength & healthfulness. It was announced that the theater would be open to the public at all hours from now until next Sunday night. Itis proposed to ailow the subject to | bave nothing to eat during the entire pe- riod of the trance. Doctors will be pres- ent at various times each day to examine Cheshire and report on his condition. The hypnotist stated to the audience that he had often bypnotized subjects for even alonger period than that proposed. Daring several such tests the subjects lost from eight to fourteen pounds. A MORNING ROBBERY. The Result of Jumes Walker's Barbary Coast Trip. Frank, s “*Piggy’’ Johnson, John An- derson, John McCann and Mollie Short were arrested yesterday morning in a room at the Adelphia House on Kearny street. James Wulker complained that he was beaten and robbed in & room there. John- son and Anderson were charged with rob- bery, McCann with drunkenness, Mollie Short with vagrancy and Walker with be- ing drunk. Walker says he came to the City last Saturday from Burns' ranch, at Staten Island, where he had been at work for the last year. He claims to have had $245 on kis person when he landed, and he at once i started out to buy woisky along the Bar- bary Coast. There be met “Piggy’’ John- son. “Pigey’ invited the capitalist from Staten Island to accompany him to his room, where they found Anderson, Mc. Cann, Mollie Short and another “lady. As she was sleeping very soundly on the | floor she friled to erees the visitors. He says that *“Piggy” Johnson threw him on the bed, cucked him and de- | manded his money. Walker declined to surrender his hard-earned wealth. But | be says his mind was chanzed by a blow on the left eye by *‘Piggy.” He passed over $4 50 to his friend, who still held him | by the throat. Anderson stood with his | back against the closed door so Walker couid not get out, but at a favorable mo- | ment, “Piggy”’ having released the grip | on his windpipe, he sprang from the ped and bolted through the door. He escaped with $210 15 in gold in his purse. A search of ‘“Piggy” Johnson, Anderson, McCann and tue short woman failed to find $4 5Q or any portion of that sum. ———— CHINESE CHRISTIANS. Nine Mongolians Converted by the Sal- vation Army Last Evening. Confucianism and Taoism received a staggering blow in Chinatown last even- ing. Nine Chinese deserted those forms of religious worship and joined the Sal- vation Army all 1n a banch, and hence- forth must be regarded as Christians, good and charitable. It takes an immense amount of courage for a Chinaman te forsake his punks and oshes and cut off his queue, but Mah ek, Wong Ooh, Loi Joe, Wong Cheung, Jung You, luuf £ing, Wong Hon, Un Fook and Wonz Wo stood up last evening and with solemn faces deciared themselves to be Christians, and they took the oath that they would not smoke opium or drink liguor. ————— Death of a Policeman.

CLARKE, the Man Who Says He Was in a Trance for Seven Weeks, TWO OLD MEN FALL T0 DEATH An Unknown Jumps From the Piedmont Into the Bay. William Ollman Accidentally; Drowned at Musssl Rocks. The Tide Rolls in So Fast That His Companions Have Difficulty in Securing the Eoiy. The favorite locality in the bay oft Goat Isiand for committing suicide attracted anotber victim yesterday. When the Oakland ferry Piedmont, which left this side of the bay at 10:30 o’clock yesterday morning, was well out of her slip and getting down to the regular treadmill speed for the other shore, some of the passengers on theupper deck aft noticed a man standing near the rail close to the head of the port stairway. His hands were in his pockets and he gazed altern- ately at the water and then around him, | apparently to see if he was observed, but | no particular attention was paid to him at the time. When off Goat Island the man suddenly placed one foot on the rail and leaped overboard. He feil with a splash and in- stantly sank out of sight. Captain Jones stopped the Piedmont as quickly as possible and a boat was loyvered in double-quick time. In the meantime | the man had reappeared on the surface of | the water, where he seemed to half float | and half sink. The boat was pulled for him as quickly as possible, but just before | it reached him he flung his hands in the | air and went down. The boat's crew | waited a few minutes, but the man did not come to the surface again. His bat of black soft felt, 71 in size, was recovered and sent to the Harbor police station. Captain Jones’ description of the man is that he was about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches tsll, | rather slender, pale, and seemed to be | sickly. He wore a light-colored coat and dark trousers. Nothing was recoverea by which he could be identified. Tnere was no mark of any kind in the hat. Anothervictim of the wa'er yesterday was William Oliman, aged 52, a resigent of the Spring Valley H.a.estead, near Islais Creek. He went oul to Mussel Rocks yesterday morning in company with his friends, T. W. Raabe, John A. Boyer and Louis la Porte. The men gathered in mussels until 1 o’'clock, at which time all but Ollman pre- pared to- start for home. He, however, persisted in climbing higher and higher on the rocks in spite of the nsing tide and the protests of his friends, who said he would be likely to fall if he did not use more caution. “Oh, I'm all right,” exclaimed the dar- ing mussel-hunter, as he sought the highest rocks. A moment later he slipped and fell azainst a lecge in such a way as to stun himself. Befor: he could be reached he was rolied heavily by the incoming breakers, and when his companions ¢oc to him he was dead. 4 The Coroner’s deputies had a hard time to zet the body, =0 high was the tide when they arrived.” Oilman leaves a wife and four children. ¥ STABBING AFFRAY. Joseph Estalita, a Bartender, Danger- ously Wounded by John Bal- lentyne, a Carpenter. John Ballentyne, a carpenter employed at the Union Iron Works, was arrested yesterday morning on the charge of as- sault to commit murder. Ballentyne lives in the Montgomery Ho- tel on Second street, and gotdrunk yester- day morning. About8o’clock he wentinto Louis Leitman’s saloon on second and Te- hama streets and asked foradrink. Joseph Estalita, the bartender, refused to give him liquor, as he was drunk. Ballentyne got mad ana pulling a pocketknife out of his pocket stabbed Estalita in the right side and ran out of the salooun. Fu Estalita bad some friends in the saloon and they ran after Ballentyne and gave him an unmerciful thrashing. The police- men were notitied of ibe stabbing and placed Bailentyne under arrest.

Crowds Watch the Racers Training at the New Velodrome Track. A large number of whee!men and an im- mense crowd of spectators thronged the new Velodrome cycle track and grounds at Hayes and Baker streets yesterday. As early as 9 o’clock in the morning they began to come, and the people stayed un- til dark. The track itself is entirely completed, and the stands and other arrangements will be before the opening meet next Sat- urday. Among the professionals who were rid- 1ng yesterday and who will race next Sat- urday were: Dow of Seattle, McCrea and Whitman of Los Angeles, Davis, Dow and | Cushing of San Jose, Freeman of Hay- wards, Foster, Jones, Edwards and Chap- man of the Olympic Ciub Wheelmen, and the Terrill brothers of the Bay City Wheel- men. The crack amatenrs now in training at the track are Kenna, Raynsaud, Vincent, Kraft and Languetin, Bay Cities; Decker, Squires, Crafts, Smith and Agnew, Acme Club; Birdsall and Heisen, Californias; Maack, Lind and Bariey, lmperials; Wing, Fuller and Hadenfeldt, Olympics; Mott, Yoeman and Bates, Reliance; Smith and Herdenbrook, Garden Ciues; the Noonan brothersand Williamson of Santa Rosa and Leitch of Sacramento. The latter, by the way, states through his trainer that the story in a morning paper that he is going to turn professional | 1s not a fact. Opipion is about divided as to who will win the Foster-Wells match race next Saturday. Foster is training at the track and Wells in San Jose. IT. IS A WICKED CITY. Dr. Case Says San Francisco Stands Third in Iniquity. The Rev. Dr. W. W. Case lectured in the Howard-street Methodist Church last night on San Francisco’s wickedness. He compared New York, Chicago and San Francisco and gave each 'its comparison on the scale of its wickedness. San Fran- cisco ranked third in depravity. This condition he attribuied to two causes—first, the influx of foreign immi- gration, and second, to the saloons, which he likened unto ‘'heil holes,” “sinks of infamy” and ‘‘breeding nests of infamy.” The consumption of beer in Germany, he said, is one barrel a year for each man, woman and child in the empire. Great Britain came next and tbe United States next. In San Francisco there are 10,000 men engaged in the making and nandling of beer, and to support those the laboring men were toiling day and night and at the same time depriving their families of their rights. The remedy lay in starting a crusade against this beverage, and the only way to successfully accomplish this end was for every man to sign a pledge against the use of all intoxicating liquors. Dr. Case proposed starting such a move- ment right in his church in the near future. ———————— TEN-CENT BATHS. The Lick Trustees Will Endure Criti- cism—Mr. Wilson Talks. The recent action of the Lick trustees, whereby = fee of 10 cents will in future be charged for towels at the James Lick baths on Tenth street, has, it is under- stood, excited the indignation of several trades and labor organizations in this City, but 1n face of the cold facts of the case the board has determined to bear criticism with philosophic resignation. As James K. Wilson said yesterday: “There is nothing else to be done. We must either impose this charge or shut down altogether. ~Personaliy I only be- came a member of tae board recently, but even my own brief experience has more than satisfied me, and for my part I am quite willing to quit if anybody eise can be found capable of handling the trust better than the trustees.” ——————————— Death of Daniel J. Crowley. Daniel Joseph Crowley died Saturday morn- ing wt his residence, 797 Mission street, of pneumonia, contractea during the election. He was born in this Cityabout forty years ago. He was & member of Stanford Parlor, N. 8. G. W., 2nd wasone of the organizers and finan- cisl secretary of the Howard Club, a member of the National Repubiican League of Califor- nis, a memoer of most of the conventious of the Republican party for the past twenty years, and, at the. time of hisdeath, & mem- ber of the Republican County Commitiee from the Twenty-ninth Distriet. His wife died about four years ago. He leaves a daughter aged about 11 years, two sisters and = brother, John J. Crowl ‘member of the police force of this City. His funeral will tal lace to- day..

Bacon, allas Stetson, was arrested yesterday as he left the County Jail, after ser. ving & six months' sentence for peity lareeny, and taken to the City Prisom, where he was booked ‘on » similar charge. Prior to his ar- rest on the first charge he had been on friend]; terms with P. J.

Open the Carnival To-Night. Jack McAulifie Is Not Training Faithfully to Meet Carroll. “Sailor” Brown Has Returned From Japan and Says He Once De- feated Tom Sharkey. The pugilists seem to be gaiting into a cul de sac, whence they will not be able to get out without doing some fighting with their fists. The Choynski-Maher affair to-nightis regarded as almost a sure thing that Joe will conquer Maher. Maher's record should cause him to be regarded as a pro- spective winner. The meeting between Jimmy Carroll and Jack McAuliffe next Friday night is the one toward which the pugilistic world is looking. The erstwhile lightweights have grown out of their class and their meeting is to be at catch weights. When these men met here at the Cali- forma Athletic Club some years ago they put up the best battle ever seen. Mc- Auliffe barely won, and he went back East a champion, was introduced to the fast set, and in it ne has lived for years. Though Carroll is not as good as he was, he has led a steady life.. He is train- ing hard to better his wind, and his chances of winning this time are 40 per cent better than they were when he met McAnuliffe before, especially that the lat- ter finds it hard to let go his tippling babit while out bicycling in the morning. A keen lookout 1s also being kept on both Fitzsimmons and Sharkey. These men are training as hard as they know how, and Sharkey at least 13 fit to-day to enter the ring against any man. Asto Fitzsimmons, he is aiso in good condition, but he has a couple of weeks yet and he does not propose to get stale. Even-minded men are not prone to give Fitzsimmons the palm. Sharkey showed with Corbett that he is not a man to be overlooked in any contest. As to his methods in the ring, his friends claim be only fonght foul when Corbett introduced the style. Fitzsimmons is a known fair fichter, but he is also known as a stickler on rules, He will, no douut, insist on a good referes who has a periect knowledge of Queens- beiry. Should Sharkey begin wrestling or rough-and-tumble tactics Fitz will ex- pect the referee to observe the rules re- gardiess of the popular sentiment which is always in favor of the continuance of a mill. The bettine, while not strong at pres- ent, favors Fitzsimmons. Lanky Bob's backers depend greatly on the referee knowing his business and enforcing the rales strictly. Speaking of Sharkey, the sailor, there is another and well-kzown nautical man in the field. *“‘Sailor’” Brown, who cut and slashed a wide swath in this City eight years avo as a fighter, is here again. He claims he met fought and vanquished Snarkey at Vallejo in 1889. He refers to “‘Baseball” O'Brien, the releree on that oc- casion, as his proo?. Sharkey, when asked about this affair, did notknow who “Sailor’” Brown was. Subsequently he remembered him and laughed. “Sailor” Brown was defeated in this City by Young Mitchell in Frank Jones' club on Stevenson street some years ago. He was then but a young lad, but he has grown into weight and cleverness since thattime. He now wants to get a chance at either Sharkey or Alec Greggains. -Jack Davis is to have a benefit at the Excelsior Athletic Club on the 23a of this month. On this occasion Ben Lewis and Jack King will spar eight rounds. Jce Sullivan and Tom Cooney have also been matched for eight rounds, and Jack Da- vis, the beneficiary, will don the gloves with Vic Wheaton for ten rounds. In each mill there will be a decision. BEEF FOR SOLDIERS. The Contractor Must Deliver Meat to the Commissary Officer — The Maneuvers Near Madera. The fresh beef supplied under contract to the troops stationed at the Presidio is now delivered to the post commissary, Lieutenant Leon 8. Roudiez. The beef is no longer cut up by the contractor and de- livered to each company 2s formerly, but is cut by the butcher of the post. The regulations require this to be done, and it has been deemed best to follow the strict letter of the law in this respect. The con- tractor is Mark Strouse. The contract price for beef is slightly less than 4 cents a pound. L The post exchange at the Presidio is to be made more comfortable and inviting. Additional light will be afforded and fresh paint will give a touch of bright- ness to the gloomy interior. When this work is finished the decorating genits of the garrison may be requested to turn his attention to the Presidio Ciub. The rooms of the club are cozy and attractive, but a shade somber. Colonel Bhafter, First Infantry; Colonel Youne, Fourth Cavalry; Colonel Willis- ton, Third Artillery; Major Field, artil- lery inspector, staff of General Forsyth, and many officers of the Third Artiliery and First Infantry, were present at the firing experiments with the twelve-inch rifle last Friday. The four troops of the Fourth Cavalry, which have been deployed in the moun- tains during the past summer to guard the forests against fires and trespassers, will be concentrated near Madera this week. The troovers will be put through & series of maneuvers before they are or- dered to the Presidio. ing cavalry horses at the Presidio, but has gone to Madera to take cnarge of the ma- neuvers.

HANDBALL COURTS. Two Great Games Played in Which J. C. Nealon and Amateur Champlon Donnelly Participate. The Landball courts were well patron- ized yesterday, and several interesting and closely contested games were witnessed. At the San Francisco court two exciting games were played, in which J. C. Nealon and P. T. Donnelly, the amateur cham- ion, 100k part. In the first Nealon and Kl. J. Kilgallon played against Donnelly and E. Maloney and defeated them. Then Donnelly took as a partner P. Hutchin- son, but he was again defeated. The final in the first game was won by two aces and in the latter by one ace. The Union court was open for business &s usual, the proprietors having got over their temporary difficulty, and several good games were played. The event of the day was a game in which R. Lenihan, the overhand swiper, and T. Jordan played against J. J. Feeney and Al Pennoyer. Lenihan and Jordan won the final, after an exciting contest, by four aces.
