HYPNOTIST IS IN TROUBLE
Under Arreit for Maiming a Boy Used in
His Demonstrations, .
PASSES A NEEDLE THROUGH HIS WRISTS

George I Curran, a young men from
Portsmouth, la, who gave an alleged
hypnotic performance last Monday even
ing at the opera house in Neola, has been
bound over to the district court grand Jury
on a charge of maiming and disfiguring
one of his subjects. . County Attorney Heas
received word to this effect yesterday from
Justice of the Peace J. W. Miller of Neola,
before whom the young man had his pre
liminary bearing Thursday. Curran fur
nished bonds In the sum of (300.
Cuuran . Is charged with . maiming and
disfiguring Herman Witt ha iter, a 14-year-'
okl boy, whose father, W. K. Wltthauer,
caused Curran's arrest. Iuring the per
formance Monday night young Wltthauer
was used by Curran to display hU al
leged hypnotic power. After placing the
lad under his "Influence" Curran ran a
surgical needle through the boy's wrists
and sewed them tightly together, at the
same time Informing . the audience that
the "subject," owing to his being under
a "hypnotic spell" was Insensible to pain
and that the piercing of the flesh by the
needle would not be followed by the flow
of any blood. It seems that young Wltt
hauer was not as thoroughly under the
"Influence" as Curran anticipated" and
blood flowed freely from the wounds. ' A
number of men and women In' tho audi
ence were shocked at tho sight and left
the hall and the performance proved, It Is
said, a dismal failure.
The boy's father, when he learned that
his son had been used In the way he had
by Curran, caused the latter's arrest and
.filed an information against him. In his
communication to County Attorney. Hess,
Justice Miller stated that the boy's wrists
are badly swollen as a result of being
sewn together, that he is unable to use
his right band to write and had to be kept
from school,
Young Curran, who is. but 23 years of
age. Is said to have formerly been a ralh

he became Imbued with the Idea that he

Who Pay for the Walkf
Mayor Macrae is of the opinion that the
cost of the new cement sidewalk on the
east side of Bayliss park should be paid
by the park commissioners out of the gen-
ersl Dark fund and that the cltv should
not be palled upon to pay It out of the gen
eral Improvement fund. Chairman Graham
of the Board of Park Commissioners is
of a different opinion and declares that
the board will not iny for the walk as It
did not order it. When seen yesterday
he said: "The city ordered the sidewalk
laid, therefore let It pay for IU We have
plenty to do with the fund levied for the
maintenance of the city parka without pay

Is not levied for such purposes and this

city council. Is delving into the statutes

guson, being under the' impression that
court had adjourned fpllowlng the - .im
paneling of the Jury, had donned his over
coat and gone home. This necessitated, an
adjournment until this morning, .Ellsworth
sued for 2,S00 damages for a broken knee
cap, received by striking against a water
hydrant at the corner pf Ninth street and
Avenue A, one dark night about eighteen
months ago. The hydrant, owing to the
fact of It having been placed there before
the brlok sidewalk was built, la about
eight Inches inside the curb line. Tbe city
contended that the. water works company
was liable and so had It made a party de
fendant to the suit. . When the case was
called yesterday - Judge - Thornell decided
that the Issue as between Ellsworth; and
the city should be tried first and then In
tha event of Ellsworth, receiving a verdict
the issue as between the city and the water
works company as to the liability could be
tried. After court adjourned, it was stated
that the case would be compromised by
the pity confessing Judgment for $600, half
of which would bo borne by the water
works compaiiy. - ' ,

but that when -he didn't pay his tax be
wasn't undef. the layr .'and that they were
