paper by Clark Bell on "Hypnousm in

letter to several prominent physicians,

unconscious and innocent agent and in
strument?
If the subject is unconscious and
even unwilling has the hypnOtiZer such
power and domination over the hypno-
tized as could control action to the eX-
tent of the commission of a crime? Is
1t possible to remove by hypnotic sug-
gestiOn from the mind of the subject all
memory of acts or occurrences which
happen in the hypnotic state? Would
it be possible for a hypnotizer to 50
control a hypnoJized subject as to, for
example, make him sign a will in the
presence of a third person, declare it to
be his viii and request them to sign as
attesting witnesses and be afterwards
wholly unconscious of the occurrence?

Replies in the affirmative we're re-
