For the Defense

Summary Anne Woodstock, a singer, is engaged to district attorney Christopher Armstrong and is a patient of Dr. Kasimir, a Hindu hypnotist-physician, who presumably restores her voice. By a ruse, he lures Anne to his office and hypnotizes her; the next day, Anne, who remembers nothing of the occurrence, leaves for Europe and Kasimir is found murdered in his office. His attendant, Jennie Dunn, who possesses money taken from the safe, is accused of the crime. "Smith," another member of Kasimir's household, identifies a pin found near the body and swears it was worn by Jennie. Anne, returning from her trip, remembers that she was present on the fatal night and insists on her guilt. Jennie then confesses, but Smith explains that she killed Kasimir in a jealous rage.
