Mathews, whose body was disinterred af- ter Charles T. Mathews, her husband, a Sonoma County farmer, had reported to the Corcner his suspicions, found a ver- dict to-night accusing a Dr. Leek of San Francisco of having performed a crim- inal operation on the woman in San Fran- cisco November 29, which caused peri- | tonitis and death, | The jury also censured Dr. Chauncey Wilder, who admitted having removed a portion of the body after Mrs. Mathews' death. He was callol to attend her and | assigned meningitis as the cause of death. It was not until after the husband, from whom Mrs. Mathews had been separated, stances that the case was officially given to the Coroner. In the verdict the jury declared: We censure Dr. Chauncey Wilder, who at- tended said deceased in her last illness, for ! his neglect In failing to notify the proper au- thorities of the be interred without a legal Investigation being made, and also for hoiwding an autopsy und removing parts of the body of said deceased without autherity therefor.

Leek, according to Deputy Coroner Van Vranken, i- the man accused. He wiil be arrested as soon as a com- plaint is sworn out by the husbapd, who went to-night to San Franelsco with De- tective Sergeant Coleman of San Francis co, who has charge of the case. Dr. C. H. Wilder, the first witness called by Coroner Mehrmann, testified that he had been called to attend Mrs. Mathews, who was living at 517 San Pable avenue. He found her suffering from the effects of blood poisoning, and had her removed to the Oakland Central Hospital, where ghe died. Dr. Wilder said that previously to her death Mrs. Mame:s the had made a statement to him in presence of Miss Gertrude Courtwright, the superintendent of nurses at the hos- pital, and Miss Katherine Peters, a nurse. in which she declared that she had had a criminal operation performed by Dr. Leek, at the latter’s office over the Owl Drug Company’s store in San Francisco. . ACCUSED DOCTOR EXPLAINS The physician said that he had ‘Umilted to report the cause of the woman's death to the Coromer in order to avoid noto- riety, and had femoved one of the organs of the body after death with the same object. The Coroner asked for the state- ment of the woman, which Dr. Wilder said had been signed by her im his pres- ence, and that of the other witnesses, but the witness said that it had through in- advertence been placed among the ef- fects of Mrs. Mathews and, had been re- moved from the hospital. Miss Courtwright and Miss Peters cor- roborated the testimony of Dr. Wilder regarding the statement of Mrs. Mathews and the time of her ‘admission to the hos- i : pl)t:“‘ John Macdermiad, residing at the St. Nicholas Hotel, testified that in com- pany with Mrs. L. Graff, who lives at 517 San Pablo avenue, she accompanied the deceased to the office of Dr. Leek, in San Francisco, on November '29, and that after they had left the doctor’s office Mrs. Mathews told them she had had an op- eration of the character claimed per- formed. The deposition of Mrs. Graff, who was too ill to attend the inquest, and which was made to the Coroner this afternoon, was read, corroborating the testimony of Mrs. Macdermiad. Dr. O. D. Hamlin, the autopsy surgeon, who examined the body of Mrs._Malh- ews after it had been exhumed, said that death had been caused by pelvic perito- nitis, which might, in his opinion, have been' caused by a criminal operation. —_————————— EXPERTS TO STUDY INDIAN QUESTIONS BERKELEY, Jan. 4—The tribal rela- tions and territories of the many groups and families of Indians in California and Arizona are to be studied by ethno- logical and archaeological experts con~ nected with the anthropological depart- ment of the State University.

Thousands of persons living in New Jersey, Long Island and Staten Island were delayed from entering Manhattan to attend" their business, and many of the ferries which did venture to penetrate the white veil hiding Manhattan arrived at their docks with stories of hearbreadth escapes. On Romer Shoal a tugboat was sunk,’ and the lifesavers went to the rescue of her crew, who sought refuge on one of a string of scows which she had in tow. The Erie railroad passenger ferry-boat Péssaic was run down in Hudson River by the fefry-boat Binghamton of (he; | Delaware, Lackawanna and Western | Railroad. The Passaic's side was crushed in so badly that the walls of the men’s cabin fell partly into this room. One buikhead was also crushed in. Nicholas Carlo, a deckhand, was fatally injured | and Thomas F. Piper, a passenger, was slightly hurt. Fortunately the Passaic was carrying very few passengers. The Binghamton backed away in the fog, leaving the’ Passaic helpless and listing, with one paddle-wheel crushed. For 3 time the ferry seemed to be in such dan- ger of sinking that the lifeboats were low- ered, seady for use. Tugboats answered the ferry’'s distress signals and towed the, damaged vessel ashore. Carlo was put on one of the tugs and went ashore to a hospital. He was seated with his back to the outer wall of the men's cabin and was thrown completely across the room by the shock of the collision. CONRIED SUCCEED!
