LOSES HIS SIGHT, BUT IT HETURNS New Jersey Man's Eyes Appar ently Flawless and Special ists Can Not Explain Case. NEW YORK, May 10.—Twice stricken blind and twice restored to sight, with eyes which scientists can find no physi cal flaw, is the extraordinary record of Cleveland W. Speer, of Passaic, N. J. The first attack robbed him of his sight for months, but the last which came upon htm Monday night, lasted only 24 hours. Great, sympathy was expressed for Speer at the tragic manner in which his sight left him. shortly before Christmas last year. He is the manager of an au tomobile garage and lives in a pretty home with his wife and four children. He is only 30 years old On the first oc casion he had returned from a hunting trip greatly tired, and his eyes were slightly irritated by the powder smoke of his gun. Awakes to Find Himself Blind. When he awakened next morning he became aware of a sensation of stiffness or tightening between the eyes. Then there came a «tab of excruciating pain between his eyes and he tottered back with his sight gone—a horror of black ness before him. Eminent specialists could find no cause of blindness. No operation could be per formed where no disease was to be re moved. Similar cases had come to their attention, at rare intervals. resulting from hysteria, but this did not appear to be the case with Speer, whose health was perfect. Speer, who never gave up hope, was to tally blind for two months and then his right eye began to recover. Slowly he regained full sight of it while his left eye remained blind About a week ago the left eye improved so he was able to dis tinguish between light and darkness. Again Sees Well as Ever. But the rejoicing of himself and his family and friends turned to despair Monday night when he again suffered a sharp pain and the sight of both eyes again left him. Twenty-four hours later the third stab of pain came and he. stood blinking, half laughing and half crying, for the sight of both eyes was restored and the picture of the pleasant sitting room of his home with his wife and startled children standing around was before him. Speer asserts he can see as well as ever and that there was not the slightest sensation of weakness or confusion in his vision. WOMAN MORTALLY WOUNDED, THEN SET AFIRE, SAYS DOCTOR .LOS ANGELES, May 10.—After a night spent in investigating the mys terious murder of an unidentified wom an, supposed tn be from Chicago, whose body was found in a vacant house, the police today were unable to identify either the murderer or his victim. The murderer had tried to burn the body. The motive which prompted the crime is a mystery to the police. Even the manner in which the woman’s life was taken has not been established. The dead woman was about 3<i years of age. A handkerchief found in her pocket bore the initial “K.” Other marks on her clothing indicated she was from Chicago. The slayer left a handkerchief which may lead to his ap prehension. Dr. Campbell, autopsy surgeon, an nounced that every indication pointed that the woman had been murdered in the building and that her clothing had been set afire while unconscious, but still alive. CONDUCTOR ACCUSED OF FLOURISHING REVOLVER SAVANNAH. GA.. May 10.—Declar ing that he was jerked off a train at Clifton station by a Central of Georgia railway porter and that the conductor with a drawn revolver prevented him from boarding the train again, although he had a ticket entitling him to ride from Savannah to Pooler, Wallace Kennedy has filed suit in the superior court to recover $2,000 from the rail way company. The trouble started when Kennedy went out on the platform of one of the coaches to speak to an acquaintance. The porter told him to get. out of the way. Later he was helping a cripple board the train, when, he asserts, the porter grabbed his wrist, at the same time striking him in the face. When he attempted to get back on the train, the conductor is said to have appeared with a revolver. Why do they alt say.
