case of death was reported at the
Morgue Saturday, the mysterious circum-
stances surrounding which have justified
interference by the detective department
A widow named Charlotte o. Bouffier. also
known under the name of "Lottie Buffalo, "
died on Wednesday at the establishment Of
Mrs. Minna E2gers, physician. The re-
MAINS were ordered removed to the under
taking-rooms of O'Connor & Sheehy to
provide for burial. At the same time the
undertakers were notified that DR.. F.
Riehl, Kearny.street physician, would
sign the death certificate, he having been
the deceased's medical attendant. DR..
Riehl was called upon number of times
for the certificate. While admitting
that he had attended the woman for
six days prior to the death, DIR.
Riehl fatty refused TO sign any ccrtif-
cate. giving it as his belief that the death
resulted from an unlawful operation. The
body was conveyed to the dead. house and
an investigation begun. Deceased was
aged 26, and had two children. She
worked for George Lang in his family, and
was there taken sick and attended by DIR.
Bowers from the 10Th to the 9th of &c.
tober. Thursday week she was removed
to the house of a female physician. Dr.
Bowers told Mrs. Eggers he thought the
illness was the result of an abortion. DIR.
Riehl was called in on the 9th of Octo.
Der. DIR. Bowers Gays the patient con.
fessed to him that an abortion had been
performed upon her by Mrs. Eggers in
July last, and that surgical instruments
were not called into requisition until after it
had been demonstrated that drugs were
imperative. On the following day, and
actuated by the thought that it would be
of the utmost Importance to have this
voluntary confession repeated in presence
of witnesses, Mrs. Lang and Mrs. Maria
Meyers were called in, and Mrs. Bouffier
made second acknowledgment. A
woman named Kate Herbert, a domestic in
the employ of DR.. Ingerson, of 1923 Geary
street, and bosom friend of the deceased,
supplies an additional point in the evi.
dence, saying that very few days after
the alleged unlawful operation had been
performed the deceased had told her that
Mrs. Eggers had committed the act. The
autopsy, which was concluded yesterday,
showed that death was caused by metro.
peritonitis, resulting from abortion. Mrs.
Eggers has disappeared. The medical gen.
tlemen who participated in the autopsy,
which was conducted with the utmost care
and precision, are, however, unanimous in
the assertion that the death of Mrs. Bouffler
is not the result of any abortion committed
upon her as far back as July last, but on
the contrary, is the result of much more
recent operation.
