The Lynn My terry sOived-Arrrst
OF Implicated Parties.
Bosros, July l6.-rhe mystery that
has long shrouded the death OF Jennie
p. Clarke, whose body was found n
trunk at Lynn, is now said to he solved,
Late last night and early this morning
those implicated Were arrested and
Iod era in the lock-uI in the City Hall
and in the Tombs.
The parties arrested were Mme. c. c.
Goodrich, female physician at q
Lagrange ST., who is the alleged abor-
zionist in the case; DR.. Kimball, who
aivsd in the same house with the wo-
mau, and who is charged with being
Ans tn, principal accessories; Mr.. Allen
M Adams, who resides at the High
Hands, at wh0s- house Jennie last work
ed, aLd two women, mother and daugh-
tor, living at Somerville, at whose
house, in the Southern part OF that
town, Jennie Clarke is said to have
died.
The two ladies, however, whose
names are just now suppressed for oh
vious reasons, but who in this narrative
will be referred to as Smith, ar. held
principally as witnesses in the case.-
They have always borne goodb reputa-
. tions in Somerville, and are supposed
to have been guiltless Of any criminal
intent. They, it appears, wers the
nurses Of jennie at the house in Somsr-
willie.
The facts Of the case as they are re-
lated by them, and corroborated by
other testimony, are that on tn. 18th
of February last, when the Clark girl
left her home in the Highlands, having
been seen short time later al the cor
ner Of Kneeland and Washington
streets. she went direct to the house OF
Madame Goodrich, ca Lagrange street,
and there the abortion was per-
formed. She remained for few days,
and on the 18th of February left Bos-
ton for Somerville, going to the house
of the "Smiths."
Shortly after her arrival she was de-
livered OF fetus, and for while -x-
hibited symptoms Of getting well.
Soon, however, her symptoms took an
unfavorable turn, and on the 25th
inst, she died. DR.. Kimball and the
"Madame" had previously been mott,
fed OF the turn matters were taking,
AMI tne doctor went to Somerville, ar
irving there shortly after Jennie s
death, and assisted in packing up the
body, first with pair Of dentis't tor
Gaps cutting off the Nose of the dead
girl.
The body of Miss Clarke was then
put into the trunk, and on the follow
ing evening Kin ball carried it in the
direction of Lynn. He was unable to
sink it, as he desired, as most of the
streams were frozen, but on reaching
Fox Hill Bridge, on the Saugus river,
he put it over bo ard through the rails.
This is the substance Of the story as
told this morning to the detectives by
the two women who were Jennie Clarke's
nurses in her last sickness. Many Of
the details are as yet unknows and the
principals refuse to dfvulge anything,
claiming their enIire innocence, but
their denial will be met by strong ev-
deIce now in the hands of the officers.
An indictment of all the parties by the
Grand Jury at its next session will
probably follow. DR.. James l.. Simonds,
a so called dentist, who owns the build
ing No. q Lagrange street, where the
abortion was performed, has also been
arrested. He is notorious as the pro.
prietor of several other dens of SINH.
lar character.
