STAGE SCENE RE-ENACTED IN MME. X TRIAL,
Dr. Boche Lynch, the Home Office expert, used a tailor's dum- my dressed in the dead woman's clothes to illustrate at Glamorgan Assizes at Swansen his theory of how Mme, X-Mrs. Kate Jackson was murdered. Her husband. Thomas Henry Jackson, is indicted for the crime.
The use of a dummy recalls' a scene in the American play, "The Trial of Mury Dugan," which had a long run in London last year.
A. wax dummy of a murdered man, dressed as he had been dress- ed, was used during the trial to reconstruct how he had been stab- bed.
