He is Dr. Pettingill.” Dr Petting! asked to be allowed to feel the girls pulse, but was prevented by Emma Hannigun, his sister, who de- clored that he should not touch her. Coroner Hoeber instructed the jury to find a verdict on the evidence they bad heard. A verdict was drawn up. stat- ing that Loretta Hanntgan's dying con- dition Was due to an operation perform d by Dr, Pettingill, witn Solomon H. Mann and Mrs. Hughes as accessories, When ‘asked if he had told Coroner Hoeber that he had a right to k names of arrested persony secret. Dis- trict-Attorney Fellows said to-day: “I never gave any sucn advice. I was arked if it was proper to keep certain of the facts in a case'from the public until the case was completed. I never before heard of a Coroner issuing war- rants and arresting and committing peo- ple before the death of the alleged vic- im, and I never heard of a Corone jury being summoned while fect of the Inquiry was atill do not care to give m: in this case, howeve: ‘The Rev.

Dr. Austin visited the batient at 12.30. He was with her for more than half an hour, and emerg- Ing, sald she couldn't live more than an hour or two longer. The dying girl has not yet lost con- sclousness, ‘and {t was hoped that she would remain conscious until Sol Mann can be brought into her presence for identification, Dr. Austin saye that Coroner Hoeber instructed the six men who were at the beside to find a verdict in accordance with the evidence. Coroner Hoeber, when seen early this morning at his house, refused to add anything to the statement already made. Lawyers and doctors were laughing to- day over Coroner Hoeber’s before verdict, ‘oroner Hoeber always impressed me as being an honest old fellow,” sald ex- Justice Alfred Steckler, “but I must con- fess that his holding an inquest in this case before any death had occurred is I ever heard of. Tt is customary, of course, for a Coroner or his deputy to take an ante- mortem statement from a person whose death may become a matter of criminal investigation, but to take a fate to a sick-room i# certainly a novel proceed- ing, to say nothing of asking them to bring in @ verdict then and there, “I think that Coroner Hoeber must have been a little, mixed up as to his powers and du: ies." Lawyer Abraham Levy sald this after- noon: “While I haven't given much at- tention to the matter, it seems to me that Coroner Hoeber is running things in a very extraordinary manner so far as this case is concerned. “Tt looks as if he had. blocked out a Uttle code of procedure for himself, re- Gardless of the ordinary rules and from 4 dectdedly Teutonic standpoint. “There is something extremely farci- cal in holding an inquest over a living erson and bringing in a verdict, it Is In accordance with the usual custom to make arrests in such cases when an _ante-mortem statement has disclosed facts of criminal Nature, and not to wait until death has ectually occurred, when the Coroner's duty ordinarily begins. But in summoning a jury and practically holding an inquest while the alleged vic- tim of malpractice was still lying, he seems to have exceeded his authority.” Coroner Hoeber, when seen by an Syening World’ reporter, said: is Waa not a regular Coroner's jury, but an ante-mortem Inquisition heid at the request of the gir!'s brother and her doctor. This form of inquisition 1s per- fectly legal. It 1s customary to have aniv a Coroner's statement before death, but in extreme cases a jury 1s called The duty of his jury is to show how a Person was Injured, not to show how he Was killed, “The verdict which this jury handed in last evening at 6.30 declared that the girl came by her injuries at the hands of Dr, Pettingill, with Soomon H. Mann. ag accessory, Coroner Hoeber was asked to produce the verdict arrived at by the six men who were at Loretta Hannigan's bed- side and listened to her statement, “I will not produce it,” he declared, Upon the advice of District-Attorney Fellowa I am taking this action, and will therefore not make the document public. If the girl dies T will lay it before a Coroner's jury, but if she recovers T shall piaté the whole matter in the hands of the District-Attorney.” Coroner Hoeber finally concluded, however, that he would reveal the con- tents of the first page of the document, which, asa whole {s composed of four pages of legal cap paper. “The remainder of it I shall not give up.” he declared again, “and that's all there Is of tt!" The contents of the document wi written on an ante-mortem etatemei blank and was as follows: Ante-mortem Inquisition, taken at 102 West Fifty-fifth street, in the county of New York.

A fegular monkey and parrot time ensued between the Republican leaders and Stapleton, and Senator Reynolds came to the support of his colicagu from the Twenty-fourth District, thereby enrolling himself as a bolter, He declared he was opposed to the Police bills as they stoud, but insisted on explaining that he had given notice be- fore he went into the caucus, that he would not be bound by it. “Tam not bolting the caucus because I gave notice 1 would not be bound by it,” said he. “This bill with its unjust features is designed to make one leader the Czar of the city of New party york.

Cogweshall Tries to Restore Peace.

Senator Stapleton, who was evidently frightened at the row his bolt had kicked up, made a long and Uresome explanation, whieh was broken into by the flery Raines asking Reynolds: “Did you not agree in the caucus to stand by these bills if the majority agreed?" “No, I did not,” trembling vole ‘Thiee Republican Senators sprang up and declared he had.

Stapleton was coaxel out of hia seat Jin the absent exow, and the two confer the bi- partisan feature of the bills in a vig- rous manner, and outlined ‘he stand of the Democratic Senators to be in favor of the Committee of Ten’'s bills, It was evident that Lexow ‘had not been able to coax Stapleton back into the Platt camp, for the Syracuse man returned to his seat with determined face, and Lexow looked as if he had fot under the full spread of a shower ath. Senator Guy's speech was a goo one, pointing out the vicious features and evident intent of the Ro: ‘bli bosses to secure control of the ‘y of New York. “Dry Dollar’ Sullivan broke in “Would you be in favor of t single-headed Commission which you Savor if the Republicans were?” “Yes, I would,” replied Senator Guy. Reynolds Amendment Again Put to Vote. The amendment offered by Reynol was voted upon again, and as before, was lost. Then Senator Bradley's mo- tion that the Committee of the Whole report favorably on the Committee of Ten’s bill, was put and lost by a vote of 10 yeas to 16 nays. No Republican Senators voted for the motion. Both Stapleton and Reynolds voted with the Repubicans. ‘The vote brought the Lexow Reorgan- ization bill direct:y before the Committee of the Whole, in which the Senate was convened. Senator Bradley moved that the Reorganization bill of the Committee of Ten be substituted for the ow bili, and Senator Cantor began his set speech in favor of the Comm of Ten’s bills, He attacked the bi-partisan feature of the Lexow bills His speech was interrupted to make way for 4 motion to amend the Lexow bills to correct a typographical error, The error was not discovered until thi afternoon, but it will have the effect of deferring a yote on the bills until next week, as under the Constitution amended bills have to be on the desks of the/ Senators for three days. Senator Lexow followed Senator Can- tor. He made a Vigorous speech in favor of @ bi-partisan Board of Com- missioners, To confer upon one man the power to have control of 4,00) police- men would be to make that man a despot, he declared, Honest elections would’ be impossible under a single- heeded board, whereas the right of the minority ‘*o representation would be guaranteed by a bi-partisan board, Rep- resentatives on the board of the min- ority Would have an influence on the representatives of the majorit jenator Lexow digressed to praise the Lexow Committee for its work, but he Was interrupted by Senator Guy, who said that never since the Spanish I quisition had any investigating con mnittee ever conducted {tseif in so art trary @ manne Lexow Hills Fayorably Reported.

These extremists permit fads and theories to take the piace of judgment. These are unsafe to follow.
