The author says that when he remarked to the famous counsel that he could not understand how Smith could have drowned a woman in eight inches of water in a metal bath. without causing bruises on her body, unless ho had drugged har, Sir Edward re- plised "Hypnotism!"
Do you mean that Smith hypnotised his wives into com- mitting suicide?" asked the judge.
