Bride, Family and Wedding Guests Hypnotized While Marriage Is Performed. A WIZARD FROM IZZARD “Everybody Seemed to Fall Right in Line.” Says Young Wife, In Explaining Her Second Marriage to Skep tical Judge Who Finally Believes. CHICAGO. Ill Citizons, beware of the hypnotic orbs of the Twentieth century SveiiRaii. He's a wizard from Izzard, with a pair of Riitterinfi optics and hypnotic powers that can make yon believe yo>t're a hootins canary or a BinjtlnK eel. If you still disbelieve, read the bizarre tale narrated recently to Judge David in the Chicago Superior court by Mrs Gendora Jones, aged 21, of Chicago. She was suing to an^ul her marriage to Arthur Jones. Glendora ought to know. She testified she played Trilby to Svengali Jones’ who, she said, hypnotized her, married her Nov. 18, 1919, although her congenial husband was still lawfully wed to her, and went so far as to shut off unceremoniously all objecctions of w-edding guests by temnorarily pafalj’zing their collective vocal chords. Judge David, skeptical at first finally granted Mrs. Jones an annulment of the "hvpnotic marriage,” leaving her free to pursue the heretofore happy wedded life with her more prosaic husband. Mrs. Jones recited her story under the guidance of Attorney Forrest Farfleld Smith. "Mr. Jones was a family friend," testified the witness, “and while my husband was employed in Milwaukee visited my parents J*iring conversation he said he was a hypnotist and Hat he could do anything and control anyone he wished to control. Incident ly he srfld lie could control my will power. I told him I didn't believe' he could.” ‘‘Then what did he do?” “Me put me to sleep. Just sat there and looked at me until his eyes got glassy, like a dead person's and then my mother dropped down and went to sleep Then he told me he would control me, I said no. lie asked me to marry him. 1 told him I couldn’t «nd didn't believe that stuff, anyway, Mid he proceeded.” "Tell us how he did It.” “I don't know, everybody, my family, serried to fall right in line. He got the marriage license and we were married. Rev. Mr. Robinson of the Antioch Baptist church performed the ceremony. Rev. Mr. Robinson did not know I was married before." ' Why didn't you object before the marriage was performed?" asked Judge David. "I couldn’t,” answered the witness. “I was afraid. He told me that if I didn't marry him he would turn me Into a barking dog.” "Do you mean to tell me you bellleved that?" demanded the court. “At first, I didn’t. Then he demon strated things to me and I was under bis spell." "Why didn’t any one of the wedding guests- one of the 20 persons there, who knew you were married before, get up and interfere?" asked the court. "A friend of mine got up. She said 'Oh—’ and couldn't speak any more. Her tongue was locked. Then he turned to me and said he could be like Daniel in the lion’s den—said he could lock a lion's jaw.” Mrs Jones testied that her Sven-gall-like husband held her in a room for two weeks after the marriage, keeping her under the hypnotic spell and waking her only to feel her. She said she finally escaped In a taxi and that her husband left Chicago when her mother threatened to prosecute him "This girl is mentally alert and bright—a graduate of Englewood high school of Chicago—and tells this story," said the court. "Somebody ought to go to the penitentiary for this This man is djuigerous.”

Hutt, acting governor of the Federal reserve bank here. Crooks and hold-up men con sider it a poor job if they get less than $200 from a victim Hutt pointed out in upholding his contention Tho sum which is carried around or hidden In private places would pay off one-seventh of the national debt; stabilize the finances of the countr> ; bring Liberty Bonds back to par; strengthen international credit and bring about much needed deflection, Hutt said. Although there is more money in circulation now than ever before, Hutt declared bank deposits are not increasing Tills, he attributed to desire on the part of the people for large sums of ready cash.
