One of the private detectives called for Mrs, Beatson said the-doctor and Miss Smith-Thomas, instead of going to bed when they got to the hotel, went into the lounge.
The place was in darkness, and they went upstairs and parted on the lending on the first floor, where the doctor's bedroom was.
They kissed good-night, and the young woman went upstairs to bed on the top floor.
The judge remarked, "I think the probabilities, at any rate, will have led one to suppose that if this young woman had been the mistress of the man at the time, he would have gone io her bedroom there and then if there had been any question of adult tery."
Adultery on Dec. 8, 1936, in Graham Street, W., was also alleged. Miss Smith-Thomas had a bed-sitting room there.
It was admitted that on that night, for a very, long time, Dr. Beatson was in this bed-sitting room alone with Miss Smith-Thomas after they had returned from dinner, and during the evening the lights were turned out and they were sitting in the dark.
Before Dr. Beatson left, Miss Smith-Thomas undressed and got into bed.
