Mystery Man's Death Under Investigation LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9.—Fearing that foul play caused the death of an unidentified man in a building in course of construction at 734 Wall street, early yesterday morning, Detective Sergeants Hamilton and Geo. E. Smith consulted yesterday afternoon with the coroner's office, hoping to find means of determining the exact course of the bullets which entered the back of the slain man's head. The name of G. M. Brown was found on some of the personal effects, but it is not the name of the victim, officers say. He was about 50 pears old, five feet six inches tall, and about 135 pounds in weight. He was perfectly bald, was well dressed in a brown suit with a fancy belt buckle, bearing the initial "M." He wore a striped white shirt and a green fedora hat. It keeps a hypocrite busy trying to convince himself that he is honest.

This, in brief, is the story of Mrs. Geraldine McWhirter’s attempt to collect $50,000 damages from Dr. Reginald S. Petter, whom she charged with having made “hypnotic love” to her. The case had been on trial four days, filled with sensations. Mrs. McWhirter charged that Dr. Petter possessed a hypnotic eye and that this mystic stare, aided by drugs, had “sent her soul into spiritland,” and while there the doctor had wronged her. She charged it broke her health and ruined her happiness. Also, she asserted, it spelled financial ruin for her modiste shop. But the doctor declared otherwise, He confessed he made love to the comely modiste, but he said, however, that he had been “vamped.” Vampire Eyes Charged Mrs. McWhirter, he alleged, had “vampire eyes,” deep and blue and mystic.

Prints on the ground showed where kegs and jugs had stood. The ground about was covered with shelled corn and corn was soaking in one of the tubs. As near as Perry could determine, about eighty bushels of corn had been made into whisky and carried away without his knowledge. He left the appartatus, with the intention of carting it to his home, but when he returned later it had all disappeared. Militia Guards Jail In South From Lynchers DYERSBURG, Tenn., Dec. 9.—Fifty Tennessee National guardsmen arrived here last night from Memphis and threw a strong picket line about the local jail in which are imprisoned five negroes, held in connection with the killing of R. L. Burkett, a stock raiser. The guardsmen were called after a mob of several hundred gatherered in the streets of the town and threatened to lynch the negroes. Washington University Member of Conference PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 9.—The University of Washington's "splendid isolation," as far as the northwest collegiate conference is concerned is a thing of the past. The Bundodgers became members in good standing in the conference. The Gonzaga University, Spokane, did not fare so well, but the conference, while turning down the Spokane school's application, sent along some consolation salve in the shape of a promise to return favorable action next year if Gonzaga obeyed conference rules.

Eyes Charged ter, he alleged, had deep and blue and she looked upon him, he alleged, he forgot his wife, his child, his fortune and his reputation, and went with her. "She took all I had," he testified. "I could not resist until, with a supreme effort, I ran away to New York. I did not give her drugs, I did not hypnotize her—for I do not believe in such rot—and every time she came to my office she did so of her own volition." She would never let me out of her sight, day or night. She blasted my life! Mrs. McWhirter's story, however, went something like this: "He held a strange and mystic spell over me. He told me that he had studied hypnotism in Egypt. When he he would look at me I would fall into a daze. I seemed to walk in beautiful forests, entrancing lakes, and always hear his voice calling, 'Geraldine,' sweetheart, come to me!" He had complete control over me. It seemed that an impelling force would bring me to his office every day. I could not resist!" Couple Reconciled Though Dr. Petter asserted that his life had been blasted by vampire eyes, it came out in the trial that his wife had dropped her suit or divorce wherein Mrs. McWhirter was named "the other woman" and that the couple are reconciled. Mrs. McWhirter, it also developed, has, since her affair with the doctor, been married. The case came to a sudden close yesterday afternoon and Attorney Frank Hutton, for the doctor, and Attorney J. E. Broyn, for the plaintiff, waived argument and the case was submitted to the jury.
