A Scandinavian, who says his name is James Morley, and that he was for five years from 1900 private secretary to Harry Thaw, entered the office of the South Wales Echo at Cardiff one day last month and told a strange story. Morley says that Thaw, was for a considerable time under the hypnotic control of a Frenchman, who had a grudge against White, the murdered man. “It was after I had been in Thaw’s service about three years,” said Morley, “ that one evening he brought in a Frenchman, a person about 88 or 40 years of age, to supper and cards. This Frenchman, who evidently had no money, continually came after that, and practically lived on Mr Thaw for the next two years. He and Thaw became very confidential, and the Frenchman used to hypnotise Thaw, doing it first of all, at any rate, for fun. I have seen the men sitting i vis-a-vis, and then the Frenchman would look into his eyes, and make passes over his forehead. In this way he hypnotised Thaw, and I have seen the latter when in this state do things that no man in his senses would dream of doing. I know of two other persons living who have also witnessed it, and who can support my statement. “As time went on, as the result, doubtless, of being hypnotised so often,” added Morley, “ Thaw seemed to get entirely into the Frenchman’s hands, and the latter could do just as he liked with him. I used to take, cheques to him two or three times a week.” “ I never saw White but once,” said Morley, in reply to another question, “as he never came to . Thaw’s house, but they used to meet { at clubs.” “Did the Frenchman know White?” “Yes, he did. At one time they were friendly, but later they quarrelled over an actress, and I know that after this the French- ( man had a very bitter feeling against 1 White. I have heard him say things against White when he was converswith Thaw. But my wife has in j her possession a letter from the Frenchman, addressed to White, containing conclusive evidence of the ; strong feeling entertained by the former towards the murdered man.” “ And your suggestion is that the Frenchman, with the object of being revenged on White, influenced Thaw by hypnotism to commit murder ?" “Yes, that he used Thaw as his instrument of revenge, and I believe that if my evidence is placed before the Court it will secure Thaw’s acquittal.” _____________ It is the commercial traveler who finds the many changes of climate and water trying. The experience of Mr Chas. G. Chapman, who represents a largo Brisbane concern, is not the exception. He had been troubled for years with chronic diarrhoea) and was especially bad when in North Queensland. Ou one of his trips a follow traveller recommended him to try Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy, which he did, and what he has to say is most interesting : “ I procured a bottle the first opportunity, and experienced great relief after taking a few doses, and was cured before the bottle was finished. I have not been troubled since, and wish to recommend this wonderful medicine to anyone su Her mg from the same complaint.” For sale by T. A. Bredin, Marten; Ellis Bros., Hunterville, and W. B.
