Hon. Rufus Choate (who bad been asaigned by the court as counsel for defence, in connection with J. C. Park, Esq) stated that he should becompelled to withdraw from the case, on account of indisposition. J. P. Putnam, Esq., was accordingly sub- stituted. ‘The indictment contains two'counts—the first charg- ing that the said Peters, with malice aforethought, and with intent to cause and procure an abortion upon Ca- tharine Rutherford, spiaster, did administer to her cer- tain dangerous pilis, drugs, and mixtures, by means of which she miscarried on the 10th of August, 1844, and died on the 13th of August following—the second count, without he specification of malice, charging that he made and administered 26 noxious pills to Catharine Rn- therford, which caused her death. ‘fhe District Attorney stated that the indictment was so drafted that it was competent for the jury to return a verdict under it of either murder or manslaugnter, ac- coiding to the evidence. ‘The dying declaration of the deceased—which would be submitted—charged her death upon the prisoner, and he should introduce such other corroboratory evidence as was within his know- ledge. ‘Several witnesses wore sworn, who testified that the girl was taken to the House of ladustry, South Boston, on the 13th of August, very sick, An oath was adminis- tered to her, and she deposed that she wawin a family way, and pregnant with a living child, about 3 months old; that woout three weeks Previous to date, on a Sun- day, she went to the office of Dr. Peters (leading a child by the hand, who was in her company,) aud asked for medicine to produce abortion. He gave a box of pills, for which she paid $3, and was asked to take a bottle of medicine at the same price, but refused. The medicine produced au abortion. She said she should know Dr. Pe- tere’ man, and, on being questioned on that point, said she should also kuow Dr. Peters—that he was in the ‘oom, and thereupon identided and pointed him out. woman died before all the iaquiries were made which hai been intended. A post mortem examination of the body was made, and t was the opinion of the physicians that she came to her ath by inflammation after abortion—of which, they made @ written certificate at the time. Dr. Sreoaan, the pirincipal cian, a'so examined the box of pills found in her posséssion—judged aloes to be the principal mgredient, which were of an inflamma- tory nature. Mrs. Suey testified that she saw, about a month before her death, Catherine Rutherford have a paper, on which was written “Dr. Peters, 15 Endicott street.” Catherine jeft the house, and returned in a few hours with a box of pills. This statement corroborated the cne made b: deceased.
