INFAMOUS PRAcTIcEs-A Doctor IN Trouble
Preliminary investigations were held in New York
on Saturday, the 2Sth ult, in rather mysterious
and infamous case, in which DR.. Cheetham, of
that city, is charged with causing the death Of
Miss Sarah E. Collins, either by design or culpable
mismanagement, she being at the time in an adj
vanced state of pregnancy suffering with other dis
ease also and attended professionally by Cheetham
After her decease Cheetham wrote several letters to
a young man named Turner, residing in Newark,
NJ J., threatening him with exposure in connection
with Miss Collins, if he did not call on him and
pay large bill due him for professional services to
the lady, Turner, it appears, allowed himself to
be represented as the ladys husband at the time of
the doctors attendance upon her, though I. says
his interest in her behalf simply from her being
his cousin. Turner's father wishes the case fully
investigated, and has had Cheetham arrested.
