Am I smart? oh my goodness, no!
Do I "Google"? you betcher sweet ass I do....

Bird was editor of the "Scientific American"

"Mr. Bird cited the case of "Margery," wife of Boston physician, as proof of his theories. He disagreed with a committee of five appointed by his magazine to pass judgment on "Margery." Harry Houdini had called her a fraud and three scientists, he said, had refused to risk their scientific reputations, contenting themselves with saying she failed to convince."

From the "Boston Journal"
February 18, 1924

I did find a reference to "Margery" amd Conan-Doyle, too.
