(Received this day at 10 a.m.) LONDON, March 22. A sensational case of dual personality, causing a man to marry three wives was disci used by Professor I.onJiglio of Academy Lancisnii, Rome. Complete changes occur at intervals of three or four years. 'Die first man is an accomplished musician, patron of arts and man of the world, but suddenly ho becomes avaricous, and lie transfers Ins interests to mathematics while lie is completely oblivious of previous occurrences. Thus this man served lour years in the war and then came a change in personality.

He found himself in Rome with no knowledge that he had joined the army or that he had married a woman in Messina when a young man. Later he married in Naples when a new personality enveloped him. Then gaining knowledge of his earlier marriage the man went to Messina to seek nis first wife.

He subsequently took a third spouse in Rome where he was arrested and charged with bigamy. He was confined to a lunatic asylum.

Now the facts of a double personality have been disclosed. However, the authorities have been compelled to order his release. On one occasion the man was certified as dead and was on the point of being buried when he returned to life.
