DANIELSON Charged with having attempted to pro- cure an abortion, Eric Welcher, 29, was being held at the police station Friday, while his wife, Mrs. Ora Welcher, was hovering between life and death at her home at Connecticut Mills Village. ‘Welcher was taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Charles E. Ayer, upon di- rection of Coroner Arthur G. Bill. Mrs. Welcher has been desperately ilf and a patlent at the Day Kimball hospital for nearly two weeks past, but, her life being despaired of, she has been brought back to her home. Friday afternoon her con- dition was regarded as extremely criti with practically no hope for her recovery. Coroner Bill has been in touch with the case almost since the time that Mrs Welcher became seriously ill and was removed to the hospital. He has had different interviews with the young wo- man, who is 24, and it was upon infor- mation that she has given that Coroner Bill has caused the arrest of her hus- band. Thursday night Coroner Bill obtained from Mrs. Welcher information that is regarded as her ante-mortem statement and following the obtaining of this Wel- gher who is a mill operative, was taken Into custody and during Friday was be- ng held without bail. A hearing will be given him in the town court this (S: day) morning, Mr. Bill said Friday aft- ernoon and the amount of his bail will be fixed. If he is not able to furnigh it he will be transferred to Brooklyn jail In case of Mrs Welcher's death the charge pending against him will be changed to a far more serious one— murder in the first degree, for, it was pointed out Friday by Coroner Bill, that wny death caused by the use of a poison sonstitutes murder in the first degree, if the polson can be shown to have been dministered with criminal intent It appears from Mrs. Welcher's state ments to Coroner Bill that the use of bi- chloride of mercury tablets unwittingly and wrongly used by her at her husband' suggestion are responsible for her bei at death's door.
