Columbus, Ga., December 2s. was mad* to Justice Unnard yesterday morning for lh« arrest ®f Dr. King, the hvp- D oti«t, whose exhibitions duzn g the past few days in Phenix City »nd Girard have occasioned con giderable excitement among the populace of those suburbs. The doctor hypnotized a man aD d left him in a somnambulistic condition which did not set well with the gentleman’s family. Mr. Larry Strnges, a citizen of Girard, has been attending Dr. King’s ♦xhibitiens and has Bfve-ai times been h' p 'Otized. Mr. Sturges places the utmost confidence in Dr. King and a look from the latter was quite sufficient to put Mr. Sturges to sleep. On Christmas day Mr. Sturges was out at Wildwood park in at tendance upon one of Dr. King’s performances. 1 pon returning home Mr. Sturges saw Dr. King, who instantly hypnotized him and let him go home in such a condi tion as to cans-alarm. He slept nearly all that night and the next day aud geemed at all times, when roused to be in a semi unconscious condition. This of courae, caused much excitement among Mr. Sturges s family aud neighbors, and on yes terday Dr. King was sent for to wake him up au 1 at the same time the meeeeti'er informed the Doc tor that should he refuse he would be prosecuted. Dr. King refused to wake up Mr, S’urg*# and told the messenger that they might have him arrested it they ebuse, Conse quently a man came over to pro, sure a warrant fol the doctor # ar rest. Thia h' failed to get, as there was no law covering s he case. Se Mrs. Siurgee and her daughter im mediately called upon the doctor to know what b« wa" g >ing to do In the meantime a crowd of young men from the Alabama side were preparing to organize and carry King by force to Mr. Stur jes's home to wake him up. Upon meeting Dr. King, Mrs. Sturges was informed that the cause of her husband’s condition was from th* fact that he was un cer treatm*n for epilepsy and was in no danger whatever. Dr. King then sent for Mr. St'i"- ges to come to his office. In short while he arrived still in a som nambulistic condition. After some •uggestions by the doc or he was waked up and was in fine spirits. Mr. Sturges is somewhat givei to drink and Dr. King assured him that he would never drink any and would no’ suffer from •pilepsy either. Mr. Sturges say that the past two days seem like * dream.
