1 5 I ASTORIA, OKEGQN. TITU7.(SDAY , DECEMBKR 17, 1903, ft u i 3: if it It If , -41 : i t . I Brand McEwen a Great Faker Walla Walla Subjects Voice h Expose That Looks Fishy, f't 7 to Say the Least 'v'McSw'cn, hypnosis performer, has taken occasion since his arrival in As- tria to stoutly deny the statement sent it from Walla Walla that he faked bis Tformance in that city. McEwen yas very angry over the 'mattef and denounced It as false In every parties, nlar. He admitted, 'however, that he pMd his' subjects, because be believed m good subject should be paid . The Portland Telegram printed the Walla Walla, atory, that paper's correspond lit having Interviewed the subjects With the Idea of possessing himself of the Information necessary to exposure of ; 'the fHke. One of the Walla Walla objects, Claude McKee, made the fol lowing statement: . y Why, of course It was a fake game all through. There was no hypnotism about'it. We rould have gotten up and walked off the stiuge at any time McEwen agreed to giife us something for coining on regularly the whole three vveeka. Most of us have been In the business before, and we knew pretty well what to do." The correspondent then adds: "f'The inspiration for the purported expose was the nonappearance of the wages. John Hoke says he received $15 and Tom McCool Is said to have been given t8 while Connel received $J-the only Instances, so far as known, where any1 pu., was given. Hoke threatened to whip the hypnotist unless he was paia In full. Of those who received nnthine a number were 'sore,' and the confession that they were parties to the alleged fake has resulted." ,' Hoke was Interviewed and made the following statement: "It was all a fake, of course, though Te no kick coming personally, as I got my pay after telling McEwen he wouldn't get out of town whole unless he djd pay. yea, I tried as hard as I conld to go under the hypnotic Influ ence, but was never In the least affect ed, and like the rest, I was only putting on what I did. I don't think any of the tmye were really hypnotised In the slightest degree. I used to be with a hvpttist before, and he was a faker, too." t The only man interviewed who ad mitted having been hypnotized vvaf James Robertson, who claimed to have experienced the genuine thing. Whether or not McEwen really em ploys subjects who do his bidding with out the employment : of the peculiar force or power which he claims to pos sess, his entertainments are Interesting. He performs such time honored tricks as pouring water and wine out of the same pitcher, the smashing of ladles' rings and their return unharmed to thej an : owners, etc., but his geatest feat Is that of causing his wife to disappear from a cage fn which she Is placed. McEwen' subjects here say they experience the hypnotic influence, and It Is probable the Walla Walla story is Action pure and simple although some of the sub jects ni'ay not have been hypnotized.
