BAUTAL ROBBER FALSE TO TRUST| ASSAILS WOMAN James B.Brooks Must Answer | Thug Holds Up Mrs. Amelia Serious Charges Made by Judge Heydenfeldt Heirs Vogelsang and Tears Her Rings From Her Fingers CROOKED DEAL-ALLEGED |DRESSED LIKE SOLDIER Accused of Conspiracy in Sale of Property Whereby He Makes Large Profit An amendéd complaint will be filed with the County Clerk this morning in the case of Elfin O. and Moodie O. Heydenfeldt and Sunshine O. Love against James B. Brooks, Nellie Clark, Frank McEwen and F. A. Chaplus, charging the defendants with fraud and asking the court to set aside all transactions and sales of prop- erty made by the Peninsula Investment Company through its agent, James B. Brooks. It is stated in the complaint that Brooks, who is a real estate agent, handled the business of the late Judge Solomon Hedyenfeldt for several years, and that upon the death of the Judge he became the confidential friend and ad- | true, marks him as a man who is a dis- | | grace both to the profession to which he belongs and to the city under whose suf- ferance he is allowed to direct the medi- cal affairs of a great puhlic institution: So gerious are the woman's charges tha the Board of Health will make an imme-: diate investigation of the affair. The al- | legations were made to one of the mem- bers of the board, Dr. William A. Har- vey, yesterday afternoon, and he stated that if they were found to be true upon investigation Dr. Turnbull would be dis- | missed at once. The.investigation prom- | ises to be highly interesting to the pub- | lic at large, for rumors have been preva- | lent during the last year that the City iund County Hospital has been very poor- ly managed and that disgraoceful acts there have not been infrequent. Most serious of all the charges of this woman is the sworn statement that on | Wednesday night Dr. Turnbull came intao a small rcom in which she lay at the | hospital and there made an indecent pro- posal to her. She declares that she in- | dignantly refused, and that he lay down | upon her bed and tried to go to sleep. It | was with difficulty that she at last forced | him to leave the room. At that time she | was suffering from a wound in her scalp made, she swears, by a surgeon who was either lacking in knowledge or was un- able to properly perform the operation necessary. GIVEN A PRIVATE ROOM. On top of this she swears that when she first arrived at the hospital she was given a private room and the best of at- tention, but after she had rejected Dr. Turnbull's indecent proposal she was re- moved to the ward, her wound left with- out any attention one whole day and her- self served with food which she could not eat. Then, she swears, because her friends interceded with Dr. Turnbull and insisted that he give her better treatment she was sent away from the hospital yester- day afternoon, when she was in no fit condition to leave. She states that Dr. McPike, an interne in the hospital, told | her that she should not go away for at least five days, and yet she was told by the nurse that she must go yesterday aft- ernoon. Immediately after her departure from the City and County Hospital, Mrs. Mor- rison went to Dr. Harvey to have her wound examined. Dr. Harvey told her that under no usual conditions should she have been ordered out of the City and County Hospital. He advised her to g0 to a private hospital at once, as her wound was far from being In a safe con- dition. On top of the statements of Mrs., Mor- rison comes the sworn affidavit of a friend who had interested himself in the case. This man swears before Notary Henry that he gave a certain sum of money to Dr. Turnbull with the under- standing that Mrs. Morrison should have | better treatment than was given to the ordinary patient. He swears that Dr. Turnbull took the money, and when Mrs. | Morrison arrived at the hospital saw that she was operated upon immediately and then placed her in a private room in the maternity ward. SAY TURNBULL DRINKS. ‘With this sworn testimony of Mrs. Mor- rison and her friend comes the state- ments of people who live in the vicinity of the City and County Hospital. They state that Dr. Turnbull, as well as other surgeons about the hospital, is in the habit of getting drunk while on duty and |is often carried into the hospital in a senseless condition. It was only a short time ago, they say, that Dr. Turnbull was In such an intoxicated condition in a saloon near the hospital that two of his fellow surgeons were forced to carey him out, and in doing so they burst the doors of the saloon. They openly state that at times Dr. Turnbull's language | has been so vile that women have left the room where he has been in disgust. The story told by Mrs. Morrison of the alleged attack on her is as follows: | . T was surering from an abscess on the head, just above the ear. My physicians, Drs. W. | C. Hassler ang W. A. Harvey, told me I must £0 to_a hospital immediately ‘and be operated upon lest Blood poisoning should sct in. Hav- Ing no money to pay for treatment at a priva: hospital, 1 went to the City and County Hos- pital, In the meantime a friend of mine had telephoned to Dr. Turnbull to see that I was given the best of everything, I arrived at the hospital on Tuesday even- ing and was operated on immediately by & young doctor named Albe, I believe. He cut above the abscess. That night and the next day 1 was well attended to, Dr. Turnbull dressing the wound, MAKES INDECENT PROPOSAL. It was on Thursday night that Dr. Turnbull entered the room where I was lying and began to talk with me. He was [n a fearfully in- toxicated condition and made an indecent pro- posal to me, 1 would not listen to him and ordered him out. He then put his hands on my body and laid down and tried fo go to sleep in that position. I ordered him to leave and he finally went out. The next day my wound went without dress— ing. Dr Turnbull came in again in an ins toxicated condition and drank from a bottle of whisky, for which he had made requisition in my name. The next day I was removed from the private room to ward H and there given food which 1 was unable to eat. The bread was mnot buttercd and the rest of the food was | 80 hard and dry that I could not eat it, In | seventy-two hours all that I had to eat was | @ littie jelly which a woman in the mext cot | handed twe. Saturday night a new incision was made in my scaip. | Mrs. Morrison seemed to be in a very | weakened condition yesterday and said | that she was suffering severely. She states that the attention given to patients is at times worse than nothing. Yester- day morning, ‘she says, Dr. McPike did not reach his ward until 11 o'clock. The Board of Health will probably be- £in its investigation of the case to-day. If the statements Mrs. Morrison makes are proved to be true, Dr. Turnbull will undoubtedly be dismissed. He is said to have stated yesterday that he did not care what was done, as he only had three weeks more to serve, anyway. Yester- day afternoon he refused to discuss the case. He would not deny that he was in- toxicated and in the room of Mrs. Morri- son while in such a condition. Dr. Harvey said yesterday afternoon that he was very much surprised at the charges against Dr. Turnbull, as he haa always thought him to be a man of ex- emplary habits. He said, however, that ’ « | 1f the charges were found tb be correct, s m&gnmm would be summarily dealt wl viser of the heirs. Brooks then per- suaded them that the property could be handled much better if a company were formed. Shortly thereafter he incor- porated under the name of the Peninsula Investment Company, of which he was made a director. It is at this time that the alleged fraud occurred. Business grew from bad to worse and all attempts to_sell the property were vain, Finally Brooks announced that he had found a rich widow in the person of Mrs. Nellle Clark who would purchase the property at a stated sum. The deeds were drawn up, but before the money was turned over the woman sold the lot on the corner of Geary and Websteér streets for $9500, or an advance of 32500 above the price to be paid by the com- pang. The mortgage of $28,000 on the Howard and Eighth streets property was transferred from the Hibernia Bank to the German Bank, and an additional mortgage of $3500 was taken by F. A. Chapius. This, with the payment of an additional $1000, made it possible for Brooks to have the transfers made in favor of the Clark woman, who in turn transferred her whole interest to Frank McEwen, who occuples the same office with Brooks and is his confidential friend. It was later discovered that the Clark woman was & servant at the Hotel Savoy, and upon taking her deposition it was found that she had simply allowed her name to be used to accommodate Brooks and McEwen, the latter being a “particu- lar friend of hers. McEwen stated in his deposition that Brooks had asked him to buy the property and had volunteered to finance the deal. He knew nothing as to how the deal was financed except that the property was deeded over to him, but the deeds were never recorded. The case is on the calendar of Judge Seawell and was set for to-day, but ow- ing to the absence of the Judge from town it will probably not be reached be- fore Thursday. ———————— Violate Milk Ordinance. Four arrests were made yesterday for violations of the milk ordihance by Foliceman Brodt on warrants. The men arrested are Charles Mesenberg, baker, 370 Hayes street; George Bissen, deli- catessen store, Hayes street; Fred Mar- tens, delicatessen -store, 611 Larkin street, and John Kelly; milkman. - Clothing Worn by the Crook Leads Police to Believe That - He Is in the Army A lone footpad held up Mrs. Amelia Vogelsang shortly after 6 o'clock yes- terday evening near Scott and Union streets and took three rings valued at $235 and $12 in cash. The footpad sprang upon the woman from a doorway, where he had been hiding, and seized her by the arm. “Don‘t scream!” he hissed. “If you do I will kill you." With a savage wrench at her arm he drew the frightened woman into the shadows, where he had been hiding. He seized a chatelauine bag contalning her money and thrust it into his pocket. The glitter of a diamond ring on one hand attracted him. With brutal energy he tore it off, causing the woman intense pain, She screamed involuntarily and the ruffian clutched her by the throat. “Don’t do that again!” he warned her. “I'll kill you if you try it The frightened woman desisted and the thug took two other rings from her fin- gers. By this time Mrs. Vogelsang was nearly fainting from terror. “Is that all you have?’ he demanded. The woman nodded and the man took to his heels. As soon as he was out of sight Mrs. Vogelsang screamed as loud- ly as she could, but no one came to her assistance. After wandering about for several blocks in search of a policeman, she gave it up and telephoned to the North End Station. The man who held her up wore an army campalgn hat and an army blue shirt. The police believe that he is a soldier or an ex-soldier. He was about 5 feet 10 inches tall, young and smooth shaven. Mrs. Vogelsang is certain that she could iden- tify him {f she saw him agaih. The po- lice have a description of the property, and several detectives are working on the case. Mrs. Vogelsand was walking toward her home, 2858 Union street, when the man attacked her. She is on the verge of nervous prostration. ——————— Detective Sergeants Sworn In. The six new detective sergeants were sworn in by Chief Dinan yester- day. They are Stephen V. Bunner, Charles H. Taylor, Harry P. Braig, James Regan, Patrick O'Connell and Peter Fanning. The three first named will continue on duty at headquarters, Regan and O'Connell south of Market street, and Fanning at the Mayor's of- fice. They were warmly congratulated by their brother officers on their de- served promotion. —_——e————— All that's called “want advertising” is not “want advertising”—in any ade- quate sense.
