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.
