The drowning of Annie Smith.

Dr. Clarke was an LL.D.

I managed to locate Clarke's correspondence to The Mercury (Hackney) that Hart mentioned. It's in the January 19th, 1889, edition, Page 7, Column 3. It's signed Charles M. Clarke LL.D., 27, Amhurst-road. His wife's name was Marion. The Clarkes provided The Mercury with letters from Robert Anderson.

Fuller details later.
