She accused a young man, who was arrested. The police thought that a hypodermic needle might have been used. They searched and “later” found a common darning needle. Thinking that it might [been] tipped with poison, they sent it to a chemist for analysis. Other instances had been reported. It was the theory of the police that a gang was taking this method for getting women in its power. Several physicians were interviewed and all agreed that the method could not succeed. The pain of the injection would give perhap 15 minutes warning before the drug could render a victim helpless. Some indefinite instances then reported.
