DUAL PERSONALITY
I'ECI'r.IAE COURT CASE. By Electric Telegraph. —Press Association. —Copyright. (Times. —Sydney Sun Service.) LONDON, May 29. Colonel Charles Gardiner, a retired army officer, was prosecuted at Brighton "for maliciously publishing a defamatory libel concerning Miss Kathleen O'Brien, a governess. Gardiner made several appearances on the charge, but to-day counsel for the prosecution informed the magistrate that there was not a single particle of reliable evidence against accused. He was convinced the girl had actually written the letters herself. At the eleventh hour a gentleman had given information which showed that she was apparently suffering from mental derangement, involving dual personality. She might write letters to herself, yet when receiving them she had no knowldge that she wrote them.
Colonel Gardiner was discharged without a stain upon his character.
