Was that the article in the Trib "An Utter Mistake" about Katie Smith on Mar 31 1874??

Hi John, Molly and C,

I think the reason so many docs were called in is that they needed a consensus; was this an abortion or not? I found a news articles, and there was a lot of reasoning to the decision. Unfortunately, burial place is not given in this article, and I found nothing else, though previous press was blamed for calling it an abortion. They in turn blamed the police. The guy involved was held; released after the inquest.

C, the burial permit will show cause of death as LUNG hemmorrhage. This is mentioned in the news as a mistake.

John, I'll send this to your personal email. The list cannot accept attachments.

It's not a matter of IF there was an inquest, there was. I have a copy.

I don't know if it will help in your research down the road, but the
inquest does give the addresses of the doctors.
(I'm also interested why so many doctors would be called in what should
be a "simple" abortion case.

Dr F Heurotin? J-- County Physician
Dr R H Bingham 883 State Street
Dr Jos B Galcott 970 Wabash Ave
Dr W P Dunne (Desplanus? and Adams)
Dr S C P_____ No 10 26th Street
Dr _ A Emmons 22nd Street & ______ Avenue

I don't know if these addresses will help you narrow the area but its
the best I can discern from the data.

And you are right.. this is a very good list

John
