HYPNOTIC CRIME.
Evidence That It L. Not So Possible al
Might Be Imagined.

Ev1QcnCe AnRL AZ 1b VNOt So OSdlDlc t1S
Might Be Imagined.
The possibilities of posthypnotic sugges
ton would seem at first glance to open u
wide field for criminal suggestion, but the
evidence does not, I think, justify much
apprehension on that score
When tho patient S consciousness is much
disseminated by the suggestion, he Is usual
" unable to coordinate himself to his en-
vtronnont and is OF course not fitted to do
anything requiring alert mental powers,
much less q crime. When the suggested
idea expels inconsistent states the case is
almost as bad. Professor Liegeois dis
solved white powder in water and told
Nine. c., one OF his patients, that it was
arsenic 1T said to her: See NJ. D. He
Is thirsty He is always wanting some
thing to drink You will offer him this
Yes, monsieur But D. asked o question
which I had not foreseen. He asked what
was in the glass proffered him. With
candor which set aside oil thought of SIM
ulation Nine G. replied, 1t is arsenic.
Clearly 1t would not do to intrust to Mime.
G. the execution of a suggested crime.
Again, when the emergence of the post
hypnotic suggestion does not affect the up
per consciousness at all, but coalesccs with
it, it is apt, as have already pointed out,
to meet with resistance from the patients
habitunl principles Of conduct. DR.. De
Jong reports that little Jewish girl of 10,
whom he found very suggestible, repeated
" obeyed his posthypnotic suggestion that
she should steal u piece Of money left lying
upon the table, but one Saturday she dis
obeyed When asked why, she said: "It is
the Sabbath day cannot touch money"
Another of his patients performed all man.
ner Of make believe crimes at his sugges-
ton, but when he suggested something,
the performance of which would have
shocked her modesty, she refused, and she
refused also to bctray trivial secret which
he had got his cook to contide to her
