"JEKYLL AND HYDE” IN REAL LIFE

Amazing Case In Paris

SCULPTOR MAULED BY GIANT

Paris

The "Jekyll and Hyde" dual personality of a man of gigantic stature is believed to explain a strange drama in a Paris studio which resulted in a sculptor being badly mauled as if by a wild animal.

The sculptor. M. Raphael Schwartz, now lies in a nursing home where his injuries are being treated.

He was busy in his studio. when he heard the door open. Thinking it was a friend. he did not even turn round.

When he looked up he saw against the door a huge grin ning creature, a giant 6ft. Sin. in height, with arms outstretch- ed and fingers carved as if round an invisible prey.

A terrible-light-was in its eyes. M. Schwartz took one step. Then the creature was on him.
