A leading physician told me that I had a. cancer in the stomach. I suffered terribly,
would eat. nothing but light broth which would stay on my stomach only a short tune;

SVENGAHED JOHNSON.
A Novel Defense 'Will Be Set Up'In a
Coming Trial For Bigamy.
TRILBY’S CASE REVERSED.
[n This One the Man “’as Hypnotized or
Something of the Kind—Several Ver-
sions of a. Very Unusual Criminal
Episode—A Wife Too Many.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 12.—When Mitchell
Harold Johnson is called for trial tomor-
row to answer to the charge of bigamy, he
says he will, through his attorney, Thomas
B. Harvey, make the peculiar defense that
he was hypnotized, mesmerized, drugged
or otherwise influenced by some “spell,”
during which he went through the mar-
riage service and only realized that he was
the husband of two wives on recovering
from that state.
If he sets up this defense. he says, it
will not be because hypnotism, paranoia
or insanity has become the fad with de-
fendants charged with infractions of the
laws. but because he believes that he was
influenced unconsciously by some irresisti-
ble power to commit an act that he would
not have committed had he been in con-
trol of his faculties.
Mr. Johnson was married eight years
ago to the woman with whom he is now
living at 827 South Eighteenth street.
Their union was a happy one, and nothing
marred the serenity of their lives until
Miss Nora Grimes, or Mrs. Norah Gard-
ner, crossed the husband’s path. He met
her at the races in July, 1893, and she fas-
cinated him. He called on her, and he
lays she encouraged his visits, though she
knew him to be a married man, and she
began to cast about him a strange spell,
which he could not resist and which in the
short space of six weeks resulted in their
marriage.
Johnson Can’t Explain It.
“I cannot explain it and cannot give an
Idea of how the thing was worked so as to
make it clear to a person who does not un-
derstand such matters,” said Mr. Johnson.
‘The .first hour I was with this Miss
Grimes out at the race track I tasted some-
thing strange in my beer and told her so.
When I called at her house a few days
later, I ordered a bottle of beer from 3. ea
'.oon near by, and when .I drank it I detect-
ad the same taste. One evening when I
was calling on her on my way home I
drank some beer and came to my senses
two or three hours later. She told me that
I had fainted. I thought it strange at the
time, but I continued my visits to the
house at irregular intervals. I was fasci-
nated with the woman. I must admit, for
she is a charming talker and a woman of
experience, as she had been married. How
[ lost control of my senses I cannot tell, it
was done so gradually. I loved my wife
lime I forgot all this and agreed, I sup-
pose. to marry Miss Grimes. We went to
Belleville, Ills. Nov. 23,1893, and were
married. I do not remember the trip, nor
lo I recall applying for a marriage license.
out I do recall distinctly the ceremony. I
had an idea that I was doing wrong, but I
iid not have the power to stop it. I came
neck to St. Louis, went to my own home
Ind left the next day without telling any
one where I was going. I went to Vin-
:enncs, Ind., her home, and took a posi-
sion with her stepfather. who was an un-
iertaker. In less than two weeks he cau-
lioned me not to eat any food prepared es-
pecially for me at his home and to eat only
what the others did. Some time after that
he sold out his interest in the business and
leparted. '
Came to His Senses Too Late.
“Shortly after I arrived at Vincennes I
same to my senses and told them I was
going home. Threats of arrest and prose-
aution in a stran go country caused me to
Itay and bide my time. I wrote to friends
here, telling them all. and asked them to
help me out. Acting under good advice, I
returned. The woman followed, and I was
Irrested. She is now prosecuting me,
though she knew from the first that I was
I married man, and not only that, but she
has sent for me since this case came up. I
will not see her or have anything to say to
her. I will go on the stand, make my
statement and take the consequences. ”
Mitchell Harold Johnson is now living
with his wife and child, a bright boy. 6
years of age. When his thoughts are di-
verted from his offense against the state
laws, he ‘appears to be a jolly, good na-
tured fellow. He is 37 years of age and
from early childhood was an actor. He
Ioined the United States army about 1883,.
became a noncommissioned officer at Jef-
ferson Barracks and distinguished himself
during the riot of the negro soldiers in
[889 by several acts of bravery while of-
ficer of the day. He left the army soon
ifter and has held several positions in
mercantile houses since then. He is a
handsome brunette, about 5 feet 10 inches
ball, of hcrculean frame and shows his s01-
dierly training.
Mrs. J ohnson is a practicing physician
of some reputation, and her professional
education, together with her acquired
knowledge of certain phases of human na-
ture, may account for the very practical
View she takes of the affair and why her
love for her husband seems in no way
dimmed by a trying experience. She is also
a. brunette, quite pretty, with sparkling
brown eyes and a fine figure. She would
not discuss her husband's strange experi-
ence at length, but in reference to it she
said: “When he came home, his face was
swollen, and he did not seem to be sane.
I asked no questions, and then he told me
the story. I was married when quite
young. and since then Mr. Johnson has
been all there was in the world for me to
live for. I forgave him at once and will
see him through this scrape even if I lose
everything else. It is seriouri, I know, but
We hope 'for the best. ”
liss Grimes’ “Statement.”
With the intention of learning from Miss
Nora Grimes, or Mrs. Johnson No. 2,
whether she knew Johnson was married
when he married her and what he meant
by saying he had been under a spell, a re-
porter called at 708 South Eighteenth
street. where she and her sister occupy a
list. It is but one block from Johnson’s
house. on ilm same street. Miss Grimes
answered the bell in person. and when she
learned who the visitor was she said she
did not know anything and started to close
the door. [On being urged for an answer
to the strange inferences made by J obn-
son she said: “Well, if he wants to say
that, all right. He knows his-business, I
guess. I have nothing to say. Hypnotism?
Maybe he calls it that; Idon’t. Goodby.”
Miss Grimes, or the second Mrs. John-
!on. is a small woman, rather slight, with
features and blond hair. Her eyes, the
most striking feature, are large. gray blue
ers, under highly arched eyebrows, and
give the stranger with whom she may be
wnversing the impression that she is al-
ways in a surprised state of mind.

BEBING Salient lv‘illill
The President Furnishes the Senate
Desired Information.
HILL SUPPORTS CLEVELAND.
He Introduces a Resolution Declaring That
Coin Bonds Shall Be Paid In Gold
Whenever the Parity of Silver
Cannot Be Maintained.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. —The president
sent in the following message on the Be-
ring sea question:
To the Senate:
On the 8th day of January I received a
copy of the following senate resolution:
Resolved, That the president he request-
ed, if not incompatible with the public in-
terests, to communicate to the senate all
reports, documents and other papers, in-
cluding logs of vessels, relating to the en-
forcement of the regulations respecting fur
seals adopted by the governments of the
United States and Great Britain in accord-
ance with the decision of the tribunal of
arbitration convened at Paris and the res-
olution (regulations?) under Which said
reports are required to be made, as well
as relating to the number Of seals taken
during the season of 1894 by pelagic hunt—
ers and by the lessees of the Prlbilof and
Commander islands; also relating to the
steps which may have been taken to ex-
tend the said regulations to the Asiatic
waters, the north Pacific ocean and Be-
ring sea and to secure the concurrence of
other nations in said regulations; and,
further, all papers not heretofore publish-
ed, .including communications of the
agent of the United States before said
tribunal at Paris, relating to the claims of
the British government on account of
the seizure of the sealing vessels in Bering
sea.
In compliance with said request I here-
with transmit sundry papers, documents
and reports which have been returned to
me by the secretary of state. the secretary
of the treasury and the secretary of the
navy, to whom said resolution was re
ferred. I am not in possession of any fur-
ther information touching the various sub-
jects embodied in such resolution.
It will be seen from a letter of the sec-
retary of- the navy accompanying the pa-
pers and documents sent from his depart-
ment that it is impossible to furnish at
this time the completelogbooks of some of
the naval vessels referred to in the resolu<
tion. But I venture ito Iexpress the hope
that the reports of the commanders of
such vessels herewith submitted will be
found to contain in substance so much of
the matters recorded in said logbooks as
are important in answering the inquiries
addressed to me by the senate.
Gnovsa CLEVELAND.
Against the Pooling Bill.
The credentials of Mr. Hoar of Massa-
chusetts for another term in the senate,
beginning March 4 next—the fourth term
of Mr. Hoar—wore present-ed to the senate
today by his colleague, Mr. Lodge.
Mr. Davis (Rep. Minn.) submitted reso-
lutions from the legislature of Minnesota
characterizing the railway pooling bill as
an efiort to “legalize a gigantic trust”
and requesting the Minnesota senators and
representatives to work against the meas~
ure. Resolutions were presented by which
the legislatures of both Kansas and Min—
nesota expressed themselves in favor of the
election of United States senators by di-
rect vote of the people.
The senate agreed to the conference re-
port on the bill for the removal and set«
tlement of the southern Ute Indians.
Mr. Gormanfs action to reconsider the
bill afl'ecting important railroad mineral
lands in Montana and Idaho was disposed
of by amendments, Which led to the with-
drawal of the motion to reconsider.
Mr. Pettigrew (Ben, S. D.) presented a
resolution severely arraigning the manage-
ment of the Union and Central Pacific
Railroad companies. It directed the presi-
dent to employ counsel to recover the sums
”stolen by the directors,” etc. The reso-
lution also directs the president to protect
the interests of the government by using
the sinking fund to pay oil the first mort-
gage, and also by other steps.
Mr. Pettigrew said he would at a later
day submit a list of the parties. with the
amounts of liability. The senator said the
manipulation of these railroads was a dis-
grace to American civilization. It caused.
more distrust and loss than the financial
agitation.
DIr. Hill’s Resolution.
A new phase of the financial question
came up on the resolution presented by
Mr. Hill (N. :Y.) defining the policy of the
government concerning bimetallism, gold
payments, etc. The resolution is as fol-
lows:
Resolved (if the house of representatives
concurs), That it is the sense of congress
that the true policy of the government re-
quires that its efforts should be steadily di-
rected to the [establishment of a safe sys-
tem of bimetallism, wherein gold and sil-
ver may be maintained at a parity and ev-
ery other dollar coined or issued by the
United States, but if our efforts to estab-
lish or maintain such bimetallism shall
not be wholly successful, and if for ",any
reason our silver coin shall not hereafter
be at parity with gold coin and the equal
thereof in value and power in the markets
and in the payment of debts, then it is
hereby declared that the bonds of the
United States now or hereafter issued.
which by their terms are payable in coin.
shall nevertheless be paid in standard gold
dollars, it being the policy of the United
States that its creditors shall atall time
be paid in the most valuable money in
use. ‘
. Mr. Hill asked immediate consideration
for the resolution, but Mr. Butler (Dan,
S. C.) objected, and it went over.
Mr. Stewart (Pop, Nev. ) at once supple-
mented the Hill resolution with another
resolution as foléows:
Resolved. That there is no authority of
law to buy gold coin in preference to silver
coin for any purpose whatever.
This resolution also went over, and the
:enate took up the postoflice appropriation
ill.
In the House.
The senate amendments to the Chicago
public building bill were agreed to by the
house today.
The" Denver mint bill was called up by
Chairman Blend of the committee on coin-
age, weights and measures. Mr. Pence
(Pop, 0010.) spoke of the advantages to
be gained from coining gold at the Denver
assay office'pecause large quantities of gold
are mined in the surrounding country. In
reply to questions from Mr. Dingley(Rep.,
Me.) he explained that the officers would
be given the same compensation received
byi those at the Carson City (Nev. ) branch
111 nt. '
The house then went into committee of
the whole and resumed the consideration
of the legislative appropriation bill.
