Writes In A Trance

lhe medical prorossicm is muoh ïnterested iu the singular case of Mrs. Edith Morford, the wife of George Morford, a grain specnlator who lives at 1208 North Twelfth Street. Mra. Morford went into a trance Thursday evening, and all efforts to arouse her have f ailed. Mrs. Morford has been stndying Christian science for about a year, and this mental exercise, the doctors say, ! bly proviuced a peculiar nervous condition. Thursday evening Mrs. Morford, who had been at home all day with her ter, Miss Bertha Erwin, went to her room and retired. Her hnsband returned home about 10 o'clock. He attempted to awaken Mrs. Morford and f ai led, called iu Dr. Richards and Dr. Martin, who remained all night working with j the wonian, who, while apparently j ing like n cliild, could uot be aroused. j All day yesterday, last night and today j she has remained in the same condition. j The most peculiar feature of Mrs. Morford's case is that she occasionally rises from her bed and walks about the house while in her prolonged sleep. Yesterday afternoon she went to the table and ate a few morsels of food and then drew a glass of water. No heed was paid by her to members of thefamily, and not a word has passed her lipa. Last night Mrs. Morford arose, and after arranging her hair attired herself in a black dress and went to the parlor. She seated herself at her writing table, with a Bible open bef ore her, and began writing, and, though her eyes remained closed, the lines she penned were aa straight and the words as correctly formed aa though written by a good penman with both eyes open. Dr. Richards and Dr. Martin are among the oldest practitioners in the city, and they assert that this is the most singular case of its nature that has ever been brought to their notice. They express the belief that the woman will soon come out of her trance or prolonged sleep and do not think anyharm will come of it. -
