taken to the central station, and yesterday
afternoon Adam Hofner, chief OF police of
Des Moines, arrived in the city with re-
QUESTION which he had obtained from Gov.
Cullom. about two weeks ago. The officer
presented his papers to Chief Doyle, who
turned Babbitt over to him. In view of
the fact, however, that the train did not
leave the city until $50 in the evening
over the Rock Island road, Babbitt
WAS permitted to remain in the armory.
| About $50 o'clock Chief Hofner went to
the station,and after Handwriting him start
| ed for the depot. For some reason
not explained he took his man to the CEN
tral station, where to his surprise he found
an attorney with writ of habeas corpus
issued by Judge Rogers, demanding the
appearance of Babbitt before him on Fri
day morning. The writ was upon Chief
Doyle, and Chief Hofner was not COM
PEELED to give up his man. but he was in
duced to remain in the city until Friday.
Since his arrest Babbitt has been very
close-mouthed. The only thing he said
with reference to the matter was that had
he known how the thing would turn out he
would not have done what he did. Chief
Hofner seems to think he has a strong
case against the man, and that there is no
doubt of his guilt.
4 WHOLESALE ABORTIONIST.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
Boston, Nov. 30.-There is quite a fut-
ter in certain circles in Lynn and Saugus,
and other places in Essex county, owing to
the discovery by the police of list of 500
females upon whom the crime of abortion
has been practiced. The discovery was
made in searching the house of DR.. Day,
in Lynn, now under arrest for malprac-
tice. The papers certify, in highly sim
gular and original manner, that the own
ers of said names had been the doctors
victims in the malpractice line, with the
day and date of action. Notwithstanding
the damaging evidence which the police
have against the doctor, he denies ever
having done anything illegal, not
realizing, doubtless, that the authorities
have secured the written evidence wherein
he convicts himself. This system of keep
ing names referred to is certainly the most
startling disclosure ever made in the GRIM
inal annals of Lynn, in connection with
the crime of malpractice. Quite number
of Sangus people figured in the list, and
the doctor brought over many from Eng
land. DR.. Day is the originator of the So
called English cottage hospitals in this
state, and was formerly a Congregational
minister.
