The terrible “third degree," declares Professor Mun- sterberg, was responsible for the pro duction of a hypnotic state In the mind of Richard Ivlne, who confessed to the killing of Mrs. Frank C. Hollister, a woman he had never seen. Professor Munsterberg’s remarkable assertion, with all his proofs, as print ed In The Times Magazine, Is as fol. lows: . . By PROF. HUGO MUNSTERBERO. On January 12. 1906, a young mar forward by his friends, seemed to point to the fact that tho woman was mur dered by an unknown person at anoth er place, and that her body was drag ged, during the night, by the copper wire colled around her neck from un- other street to the barn yard. Tho so-called "confessions” thorn selves seemed absurd and contradicto ry. und exactly like the Involuntary elaboration of a suggestion put Into his mind. His whole life history und ex pression of Ills face were In fullest ac cordance with the suspicion that Ills mind was in a state of dlsassociation when he began his confessions. It seemed to me a typical case of that large borderland region In which u neurotic mind developa an illuaory memory aa to Its own doings In tne past. After most careful scrutiny, as far as the primed material allowed. I wrote thus In June In my much abused letter that the confessions must be un true and that the condemned man had really nothing to do with the crime. I added at once, "It Is nn Interesting ruso I Know Charge Is Fatts.' "I might add that one of the most prominent attorneys in New York has notified Dr. Trautman that he will de fend Mrs. Trautman In tho Interests ■ f all respectable women.” Friends of Mrs. Trautman declare she has established a perfect alibi. One nlibl, which they declare proves her Innocence beyond doubt, will be made by Kate Nevlns, maid for Mrs. Traut- Trautmnn's friends say that her refined and cultured appearance should have at least gained for her the matron's care. Instead of a cell In which a num ber of drunken women were confined. The singing and talk of these prison ers wore enough to make any respect able woman blush, without being corns polled to remain In the same utmost phero. To Avenge Insult. Mrs. Trautman'* maiden name Is said to be Jeanne Davis. She Is a daughter., a! ,cx-Jadgo Davis, of At lanta. Her relatives live near Atlanta. Her brother, Frank Davis, Is a travel ing salesman and an athlete. Hs Is said to bo coming Here to avenge the Insult. Thinks She Has Double. Captain Schlottman, of the tenderloin station, after a complete Investigation Into the circumstances surrounding the Trautman case, declared that he waft convinced Mrs. Trautman was Innocent of the charges against her. 'If don't believe,she la guilty. It Is simply Impossible that a woman of her position and social standing could have stooped to such u thing,” said he. “I am convinced that Mrs. Trautman has a double. Acting on tills theory, I have four men out looking for this double, and If she Is any way striking In appearance as Mrs. Trautman, she: ought to be found within a very short time." Havana, Cuba, Dec. 26.—Sensa tional reports relative to the five Japanese found sketching tho city fortifications have been made to Governor Magoon. According to these reports the Japanese are preparing to incite rebellions against the authority of the United States simultaneously in Cuba, Hawaii and the Philip pines..

Some of them hid been burned to death and there Is no doubt that the men wers victims of the Mafia, which has been working secretly In New Or leans for many years, and has broken out at Intervals, when revolting crimes have been committed.

The police could not cope with the situation and a call was sent, for every able-bodied fireman In the de partment to hurry to the scene. The murders are bslleved to have been committed during the early part of last night and had undoubtedly been planned ahead. That no screams were heard from the murdered men leads to the theory that many men were en gaged In the slaughter and that tho victims were set upon at a given sig nal and struck down before any of them could make an outcry.
