Who killed Guy Clarendon?

Hint 1 of 14:

Frances Nolan didn't.  That much should be obvious.
There wouldn't be much of a case if she did.

Hint 2 of 14:

Don't you remember hearing about how Frances frequently blacked out?
She told you herself from Old Bailey.

Hint 3 of 14:

Think about someone who frequently dined with Frances.

Hint 4 of 14:

He probably had a special talent.

Hint 5 of 14:

I'm talking about Dr. Trevalyan.

Hint 6 of 14:

He worked for the Mesmer-Braid Institute for a while.

Hint 7 of 14:

What do you know about Mesmer?

Hint 8 of 14:

He was famous for hypnotizing people.  In fact, Trevalyan's file confirms
that he was an expert with hypnotism.

Hint 9 of 14:

But think about Trevalyan.  Did he even know Clarendon?

Hint 10 of 14:

Probably not.  So he's not the murderer.

Hint 11 of 14:

He may have passed his skill on to someone else he knew very well.

Hint 12 of 14:

Someone who bought a gun in Frances's name.

Hint 13 of 14:

Someone attractive.
