His name cost the Tammany ticket at least 50,000 votes, and his name will kill any ticket that Tammany can nominate. “Why didn't he renominate Mayor Gaynor? Gaynor wa able man.

C. Meredith and his associates, arrested in a raid on Mere- dith’s maternity hospital at Bellevue, Jong known hereabouts as the “House of Mystery.” In the big isolated in- stitution of a high bluff overlooking the murky Ohio, the fate of many wan met, according to @ confession ascribed to Dr. H. FE. Lutz, one of those under arrest, and fully believed by District-Attorney R. M. Jackson. The victims probably numbered a score. There may have been more, according to Dr. Luts. And among them, he said, was Dorothy Arnold of New York. According to the alleged Lutz con- ‘fesston, several Pittsburgh physicians jacted as “feeders” for the hospital, | sending to Meredith women who cama | to them for operations. In a number! of cases when death followed com: | | plications resuited and the remains of the victims, Luts affirms, were con- | slgned to a furnace in the basement. Meredith was held to-day in $12,000 bail on charges of performing an ille- gal operation and larceny. Miss Lucy \Orr, alias Lucy Damms, head nurse, and Miss Mary Snyder, a nurse, were also in custody. The specific charge against Meredith is that he performed an illegal operation upon a woman of Wilkinsburg, who, Lutz says, he sent to Meredith. Lutz declared that he was almost @ wreck as the result of his part in the | support of the hospital. Some time after sending Mrs. Allison |to Dr. Meredith Lutz asked Meredith |where she was, he said. Meredith, he declared, said she was dead. “Well, doctor, don’t you think this os |dangerous work?" lata asserts he |asked Meredith. He says Meredith an- “There was a certain party that came to me from New York and was traced as far as my office. It was Dorothy Arnold.” When asked what had become of her, Meredith was said to have mo- tioned skyward with both hands, in- dicating, Lutz declared, that she bad as to the fate of Mrs. Allison, Mere- dith made similar gestures, Luts said he had witnessed cruel treat- iment of Mrs, Allison by Meredith [when the Woman was removed from | Tata's office by Meredith's ambu- Hance When she moaned that she would like her mother sent for Meredith as- sured her, he said, with a brutal laugh “Oh, you'll see your mother soon | enough, all right | Pistrict-Attorney Jackson is peraon- ally convinced that Dorothy Arnold (Continued on Fourth Page.) —_—_————_.
