The Horrible Sounds Came on Her Sleep-Dulled Senses and Threw Her Into Violent Attack of Hysteria. Special to the Post-Dispatch. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 7.—A promi- nent citizenyhere has a graphophone. He took a. new plate here with him last night. His wife was out at the time. He fixed the plate in the machine. His wife came in and went to bed. At midnight, no one knows how it happened, everything was confusion, excitement and hysterics. With its usual “bb-r-r-r”’ the machine had sturted of its own accord, and there followed the wildest, weirdest shrieks that ever were heard. ‘‘Men! Men! Let me #0; for God's sake let me go! I never d@ it; i never saw the woman. Bring on nose tiles; pour on the coal oil.’ The machine went on. It filled in the pauses with yells from the frenzied mob, and it produced faithfully the sound of crackling flames. There was an answering shriek from the bedroom, followed by 'ow moans and wild, maniac laughter, Mrs. Smith had been awakened rudely from her siumbers, and had heard the awful peeciate from a phonograph reproduction of burning a negro. But there was nothing to indicate that it was a machine. Her confused nenges caught up the piercing agony of the d man's screams. The husband tried in vain to calm his wife. She laughed and cried by turns, screamed and fought and lay still and moaned. A neighbor was sum- moned amd dispatched for a physician, who pronounced h her in a serious condition.

Edwards Meyers, who tunneled out of the Venice (Ill.) jail Wednesday afternoon. was eaptured in the rear of a second-hand store at 1800 North Broadway Thursday morning by Sergeant McDonald and an officer of 'the North Market street station.

REGAINED MENTAL FACULTIES With a Small Sum Borrowed From Friends He Invested In and Madea Fortune of $70,00 in Lands, CEDAR RAPIDS, lIo., Feb. 7.—From a harmless maniac, who believed that he had a call direct from God to appear on the Streets barefoot and preach the _ gospel, “‘Bob"’ Moody suddenly regained his reasn, and, plunging into speculation in Manitoba lands, has cleared up $70,000 in cold cash in | six months, and is in a fair way to become | a@ very wealthy man. Bob Moody spent his boyhood days ini | Cedar Rapids, and while he was regarded as a harum-scarum sort of fellow, it was recognized that hé was pc ssessed of much | natural ability. Soon after becoming of | age he broke loose from home ties and started out to see the world.

Her first impulse, her first act after the attack, would have been expo- sure of her asse#@ant. Her husband would the first, probably, to be in- formed. In short, she would have coOm- plained to some one. That would natural- ly be the first act of a normal woman. “She is undoubtedly the victim of erratic imagination. We have numerous cases, for instance, where young women and wives after recovering from anesthetics prefer er ive charges. At present I have under my care a young woman who quite believes that the charges she made against a man are ab- solutely true; still I know and others know that the young woman has made a griev- ous mistake. “TI sincerely believe that the outcome Ol the Arlington case will go to prove that Mrs. Barker was in error when she made the confession to her husband implicating the Rev. Mr. Keller.’ Dr. George W. Jacoby says: “I think it fs very probable, if the woman has any other hysterical manifestations, that she is the victim of erotic hallucination. Such hallu- during the ad- and that after ministration of anesthetics, the dreams that recovery of consciousness, have been passed through are looked on as true. “Then accusations are against persons who administered the drug.

In are exX- suggestions which herself or from either case she women would be so dominated by it as to be abso- certin that she is speaking the lutely in the actual occur- ‘truth, and to believe rence of the assault."’ The Woman Believes What She Said. Dr. Carleton Simon, says: “There are many medical records which prove conclusively that persons suffering from melancholia or some other abnormal mental condition have thought themselves attacked when really there had been no at- tempt at it. I Know of case after case in which the charge of attack has been proven to be utterly groundless when the accuser, in all sincerity, belleved it to be true. ‘In one instance a woman accused a man specialist In neryous nauSes, 'of attacking her here in New York, whet it was afterward proven that the woman wis not in New York at the time.
