A Terrible Story.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. April ga local
paper devotes five COLUMNS to an alleged
expose of the criminal practices of DR..
Thomas Hatchard, Ten days ago DR.
Hatchard brought suit for divorce against
his wife, Nancy, in which he alleged she
excessively used liquor and morphine.
Mrs. Hatchard, in answer, charges her
husband with many crimes and brutal
acts, including criminal malpractice and
the burning of young babies alive.
Among other things. the answer, which
is sworn to. states that he converted their
home into a hospital, where women who
wished to avoid the consequences OF their
crimes were treated; that she was forced
against her will to care for and nurse
them after he had performed operations.
She also alleges that on at least two occa
sions the doctor burned prematurely born
babies, and that one woman, Maggie Ho-
gan, from Fon du Lac county, died in
their house from the effects of a criminal
operation. The answer gives the names,
dates and details Of a horrible chapter OF
crimes alleged to have been committed by
the doctor.
In au interview attested by afidavits.
MIS- Hatchard declares hat she saw her
husband take no less than five new born
infants, build a hot fire and throw them,
shrieking aud kicking. into the flames.
He did the same, she SAYS, with many
others. both dead and alive. probably
twenty altogether. The Hogan girl and
another named l4angworthy died from the
effects of abortions IN the house. The
records of the health department show
the death of these girls.

CAUSED A SENSATION
OHUOED n OCV0H ION
Pat Mccain Testifes Against
Grant and Croker.
The Sum of $4,000 Raised to
Buy an Office.
Mr.. Grant and Others Deny
the Charges.

New YORK, April &c Tho legisla
tive investigating committee held a most
sensational session today. Richard
Croker and Mayor Grant, Tammany
leaders, were scorched numerically by
Lawyer Wins, counsel to the committee.
The witness who created the sensation
was Patrick Mccain, brother-in-l law Of
Richard Croker, leader of Tammany
hall. McCann was a most reluctant wit
ness. 10 substance he testified that while
Grant was a member of the board of
aldermen Tammany hall made desperate
efforts TO have him appointed commits
sioner of public works. For this purpose
$3.50, 900 were raised, Grant giving $50,
600 and the Tammany organization the
other 100000. This money was to have
been paid to the aldermen for Grants
confirmation by that body. Mayor Edison
appointed Rollin NJ. Squire, however,
and the money was not used. The next
question and auswe was a ~startler.
While Grant was sheriff did be give
any money to Crocker or n member of
his family to Jour knowledge
Mccain tried to avoid answering, but
was finally forced to reply in substance
that Mrs. Croker told him that while
sheriff, Grant on five different occasions
handed Flossie, the 6-yea--old daughter
OF Croker, an envelope containing IS, 900
making $25, 900 in all. This none went
TO pay for the house Croker was living in.
Witness also testified that Leicester
Holme, Mayor Grants private secretary.
visited Mrs. Croker as the representative
81 Mna-r 1t rav.u - -
Croker went to Europe. Holmes offered
Mrs. Croker her expenses and something
more if she would go to Germany. She
witness that DR.. Betkmln, the family
preached by Holme and asked to go
abroad.
Political circles are agitated to an I'M
usual extent at the testimony regarding
Grant and Croker. Mayor Grant was
not at his office today. No person there
seemed to know where he was, though it
was said he was probably out of town.
The mayors private secretary, Leicester
HOlme, denied that he ever visited Mrs.
Croker on any such mission as testified to
by Mccain,
Mayor Grant tonight made a general
denial of the charges made against him
by Mccain before the senate committee
today. He was never a candidate for
commissioner of public works and in 1854
was not eligible. The talk about his
paying $50. 900 was too frivolous to talk
about. He had given Crocker's daughter
(his godchild) presents. but no such fabu-
lous sums as had been mentioned. Mrs.
Crocker says McCann's statement is false
and that the relations between herself and
husband are pleasant.

corporation in the territories can assume.
This hill extends the limit as to Ogden to
3 per CEN. The purposes are not pecu-
liar or exceptional. They relate to..scbools,
street improvements, etc. and are COM
mon to every prosperous town. If the
arguments with which the measure is
supported are true. the conclusion should
be to repeal or modify the general law,
but, in my opinion, the limitation i'm
posed by law is wise and wholesome and
should not be relaxed. The city now has
the power to increase Indebtedness $3.50,
600. which would seem enough to make
n good beginning in The construction of
sewers, while the costs OF street improve
ments are usually met by direct assess
ments Almost all states have limited
the power Of municipal corporations to
incur Indebtedness and the limit is gener-
ally lower than that fixed in the terrific
ries. | don't doubt that the citizens of
Ogden will ultimately realize that the
creation Of a municipal debt of over $780,
900 by a city Of $4,000 population, being
about $37 per capita, is unwise.
