HYPNOTIC INFLUENCE
MAKES YOUTH BLIND
PO 1SDAM, April 23—Dr. Achillies/
a doctor of philosophy of Stettin, has j
been arrested on a charge of keeping
a young man under hypnotic influence
for a long period with the result that
he was temporarily blinded. The case
became known through a strange com
bination of circumstances. On January
13 of last year, Herr Grundwaldt, a lo
cal clergyman, was impressed by the
unusual appearance of the blinded
youth, who sat near the pulpit during
service.
The clergyman after the service in
vited the young man and the woman
who accompanied him in his study.
The young man spoke in a very con
fused manner about theosophy and
philosophical subjects. His eyes im
pressed the clergyman as being glassy,
rather than blinded and his eyeballs
moved in a nervous manner when the
clergyman gazed at him in a fixed
manner. Herr Grunwaldt knows some
thing of hypnotism and immediately
suspected that the youth was under
hypnotic influence.
While the young man was in the
clergyman’s study Dr. Achillies tele
phoned and stated he was on the way
to get his patient. The boy broke down
i and cried when he heard this news,
| but accompanied Dr. Achillies. When
J Herr Grunwaldt communicated his
j suspicions to the boy’s parents who
had tried to diagnose their son’s ill
I ness and finally removed him from the
care of Dr. Achillies, who at first re
fused to let him go. The young man
| has slowly recovered his sight.
