Skelly of the Thirty-first Pr cinct reported to Coroner Hellenstein that he had obtained « vidence to show} that Anna Kucera of No. 409 East Seventy-first Street died Oct, 22, 1913, from the effects of a criminal opera- tion he was ordered by the Coroner! not to make any arrests. This was| brought out by Commissioner of Ac- counts Wallstein in his examination of Hellenstein this afternoon, | Although Skelly offered the names of both the physician and the mid- wife accused, Dr. Hellenstein declined to call a Coroner's jury, disposing of the case without witnesses, and an- mouncing a verdict of “death due to septic peritonitis following an abor- tion induced by some unknown cause.’ The charge was admitted by the Coroner. “Why did you not call Skelly, who had obtained bis information from a @ister of the deceased, as a witness?” asked Walistein. “1 bave no recollection,” was the reply.. “I have always done my best." “But your best isn't good enough, Coroner,” Wallstein interposed, “Here is the eighth of tiwse cases of erin inal operations which require ex- planation from you, and which you! have failed to give.” Commissioner Wallstein scored again when he brought up the deat of Catherine Vogel, who also die from the effects of a criminal oper- ation Dec, 12, 110, at the Ha Hospital.

H. O'Hanlon, after an autopsy, reported the Vogel girl's death due to a criminal operation, the word erlm- inal was omitted when his report was read before the Coroner's jury at the inquest. The jury, Wallstein showed, was deceived thereby and returned a verdict of death “due to cause un- | known.” The result, Wallstein point. | ed out, might have been different ity the physician's report were read cor- | rectly at the trial i LC RECEIVERS FOR SILK MILLS. riley Sith t de- or the Itore Act Awal at A petition In bankruptcy was filed to- day agpinat the Hartley gilk Manufac- turing ey ¢.. of No. a7 Fourth 18 oft thar sels were dim but the concern New York Sttte and th between i e petitioning 0,150. wns six mill 450,000 silk in these Jone, | Budge Charles M, Ito inted Townsend Rushmor aon and Sam raues fmandog of New York re- (CLUB THE GUNMEN!
