INVESTIGATION BY coROWER cuRR| $F'iftteen hundred and thirteen} Testimony of Witnesses Did Not Designate Guilty Party. FURTHER INQUIRY ORDERED The body of the young colored woman who died in the hovse of Mrs. Bucking- ham, No. 1013 Q strcet northwest, as pub- lished in Saturday's Star, was identified Saturday afternoon as that of Erta Spence, whose home was ‘n Portsmouth, Va. She was a married woman, about thirty years oid, and before coming te this city had told friends she was coming here to be treated for spine trouble. After arriving ip the city she wrote to a friend, telling that she was stopping at Mrs. Buckingham’s house. Tcday an inquest was held at the sixth precinct station, among the witness- es examined being Mr. and Mrs. Bucking- ham, who had been released from custody Saturday afternoon. The jury returned a cerdict that the wo- man’s death resulted from a criminal ope- ration, performed by some person or per- sons unknown to <he jury. Coroner Carr called on Inspector Mat- tingly later in the day and reported the finding of the jury. It is likely that a de- tective will now investigate the case. The evidence submitted to the jury was given by the witnesses to the occurrences attending the woman's death and the sub- sequent investigation. Physicians ‘Testify. Dr. Frederick O. Roman, 1501 8th street north est, testified that Thursday he was called to see the patient, whom he found suffering from blood poisoning. She was sufferirg intense pain and witness said he prescribed the usual remedics. “According to the history of the case,” said witness, “an abortion had been per- formed on Monday.” “How did you learn that?” “From Mrs. Buckingham.” Witness described the patient's symp- toms, which Coroner Carr said were good evidences of the cause of her condition. There was nothing said to witness about the cause of the aborticn. “Who called you in?” the witness was asked. ‘She sent for me herself,” was his an- swer. ‘The woman?” “Yes, sir.” Questioned by a juror, witness repeated what Mrs. Buckingham had told him. He asked her for no particulars. Witness lid not make a thorough examination of the patient. Mrs. Buckingham did not use the word abortion. Dr. Henry’ W. Haskins, 1622 Vermont avenue, testified that Friday night be- tween 10 and 11 o'clock a message was received by him to go to 1013 Q strec*. When he reached the house he was told that his services were not needed nother doctor had been called. Abo clock Saturday morning another call was made for him. A young white man and cotored driver called and witness went to ie house. He found the patient suffering ™ peritonitis and did not prescribe, for fe reason that he knew she had but a short time to live. Witness made no ex- tersive examination of the patient. Deputy Ccroner Glazebrook testifled that he performed an autopsy on the body cf the young woman several hours after her death, and the temperature of the body at that time was about 1038. The autonsy showed that there was a marked general peritonitis. He found that condition was the result of pregnancy. An abortion, h said, is not necessarily a criminal abor- tion. There was nothing about the body to show whether this particular case was erfmi.al or accidental. From the condi- tien of the woman's remains, he said, the bloed poisoning had been going on for five or six days or probably longer. Dr. Norman R. Jenner, 1731 12th street, testified that Friday night between 11 and 12 o'clock he was called to the house. He Was told that Dr. Roman had attended the patient, and he declined to take it out of the latter's hands. The pulse of the patient Was so rapid that witness could not count it. Witness saw that blood poisoning had developed. The putient was not in a con- ition te make any statement. Mrs. Buckingham a Witne: Mrs. Elizabeth A. Buckingham was next examired. She told the jury that the colore? woman called at her house Good Friday looking for work. Witness had no servant at that time and she employed her. Witness said the woman had not been at her house very long before she was taken sick, and she (witress) put her to bed in a room en the second floor. Mrs. Buck- ingham said she sent for a doctor and told the patient to tell him all about her trouble. Wi said she had given the girl soups and delicacies and had given her nitre for her feve: “I'm innocent of anything wrong in the cas she said. Witness said that when the girl came to her heuse she said he name was “Erle,” and that she had come from Portsmouth. She said she had no family. Mrs. Buck- ingham said she had herself been a nurse, but she had no diploma. Coroner Carr asked about the other per- sons found in her house by the police, and she sald one of them, called Rosa, 1s work- ing at her house now. She came there looking for a service place and witness gave her a home. Another one, whom she called Katie, the witness said, was there on a visit. The third one she named as Mrs. Geary, who is stopping at the Cham- berlain Hotel. M Geary, she said, had been visiting her only two days before this unforiunate occurrenc There was nothirg about the appearance of the girl to indicate that she was in a delicate condition. The patient was sick bout a week before she died. She denied having made certain statements to the doc- tor, and said if any criminal operation had been performed it had been done before the woman came to witn house. When Drugs Were Taken. Witness said the patient told Dr. Roman that she had taken two bottles of medi- cine and a half pint of camphor before she came to her house. The medicine, the patient said, she got from a colored man in Pertsmouth. John W. Buckingham, husband of the preceding witness, gave similar testimony. The colored girl told witness she was sick for two weeks before she came to his house. She said she had come away from home because she thought the change would do her good. The colored woman, he said, was kept ¢ house 2s an act of charity. 2. & =e oot Seegeets Oe a ee a es a a a ee ae a a ae a a a te ee Be tS AT ES Ae a a a a a a { cl Continuation The annual Christian and Missionary Alliance, in ses- sion at the First Baptist Church, 16th and oO ‘The morning session was attended by but few with the usual service of prayer and song.
