No Further Witnesses Secured Tor the
Hearing To-day.
There was an air Of profound cuiet
around the neighborhood Of III Ewing
street south all yesterday and last NIGHT.
The only thing to distinguish that house
from any other in the row Was the unfeian-
ed curiosity with which every passer by
stopped and gazed at it. They examined il
from roof to basement, Raxsd at the closed
door and the signs ''dressmakinR', and
furnished rooms for rent" and then passed
on. Nobody appeared during the day either
to enter or to leave the house, % the look
ers had nothing on which TO feast their
curiosity, except the pile Of brick and NOR
tar which went to make up one Of . very
pretty block of dwellings. About six
o'clock hack drove up to the door, a
woman alighted. and hurriedly entered the
house, where she remained by q few mo-
ments. Then she reappsa AIRED. jumped into
the conveyance, and was driven rapidly
away. There was nothing in all this which
might not have happened at any other
house, but the fact that it was at IA shed q
mysterious air over the incident, which
might or might not have been justified by
the circumstances attending the visit, had
they been known. At night there was a
dim light in the parlor, and the passer by
could see nothing unusual or suspicious
DR.. Kellogg, who ia accused Of using the
house as lying-in hospital for women who
are DESTROYS of avoiding the evidences of
their sin, was driving about town yester-
day as usual attending to his practice. He
showed by the expression of his face that
bo koon1u fo0k tho ;,~- h ;n
rest and the raid on the Ewing street house
have placed him. The hearing on the
charge against him will come of to-day,
when Louise Mccartney, the girl upon
whom the doctor is said to have operated,
is expected to be present and testify against
him.
County Attorney Nolan said last night
that the authorities had not succeeded in
finding any more witnesses. The women
he said, had been kept in separate rooms,
and therefore the only one the police sue
ceeded in coming up with could furnish no
description of the others, as she had not
seen them.
A card published by DR.. Kellogg yester-
day stated that the present case against
him was more of a prosecution on the part
of the medical men than prosecution by
the authorities. He said the state medical
him in trouble, but had failed in all
of them. A member of the state medical
board says he has recollection of but three
cases. One was the case before Justice of
the peace when DR.. Kellogg was charged
with practising medicine without certi6-
cate. The doctor won this case, and the
board took an appeal, but through imfor-
mality it never got into the district court.
The second time the doctor and the medi-
cal board FLASHED was when he was indicted
for practising without q certificate. The
indictment, it is said, Is still pending, the
case never having been called up in court.
The last time was when DR.. Kellogg ap-
piled to the board in October of this year,
for certificate. which was refused. DR..
Kellogg took the case to court on appeal
from the decision of the state medical
board. and nothing has yet been done with
it. The present charge, the medical board
says, is a matter for the county attorney
and the police authorities and not the other
doctors.
