DUAL PERSONALITY.
*■■ - GIRL'S MENTAL DERANGEMENT. COLONEL IN UNPLEASANT POSITION. ("Times" and "Sydney -errices.) LONDON, May 30. Colonel Charles Gardiner, a retired Army officer, was prosecuted at Brighton for maliciously publishing a defamatory libel concerning Miss Kathleen O'Brien, a governess. Colonel Gardiner made several appearance-. When the charge came before the Court to-day, counsel for the prosecution informed the magistrates that there was not a single particle of reliable evidence against accused. He was convinced the girl had actually written the letters herself. At tho eleventh hour, a gentleman had given information which showed she was apparently suffering from mental derangement, the disease involving a dual personality. She might write letters to herself; yet when she received them she had no knowledge that she wrote them. Colonel Gardiner was discharged without a stain upon his character.
