Full Report Of Case That Demands q
Complete Investigation at the Hands OF
the Proper Authorities,
Canton has another case which rivals
the famous DIR. Maxwell sensation, and
which is similar to 1t in some respects,
one of the parties being closely related to
Lille Bordner, the unfortunate victim of
the doctors deadly instruments.
Mrs. Amanda Lohr resides at present at
the corner of Eighth street and the Valley
railway. A week ago Sunday she gave
birth to q baby under very mysterious
circum stances, in fact the birth was
fastened by unnatural means, When
born the child was alive but died a few
hours afterwards. The case is strange
one in many particulars.
Mrs. Lohr was seen this afternoon by q
News. DEMOCRAT reporter and made q
clean breast OF the whole affair. She said
she had separated from her husband,
George Lohr, some three years ago, Since
then she has been engaged as a dress
maker and recently got into trouble. She
said she was the daughter OF Jesse Bord-
ner residing near Navarro. Jesse Bord-
ner is brother of Aaron, the father of
the late Lille Bordner.
According to Mrs. Lohr, after she dis
covered her condition, she called on
DR.. E. L. Walker who has an
office at 100 East Fourth street. The
doctor made an examination saying under
the circumstances he could do nothing
for her. She then consulted DIR. A, b.
Walker but he refused to have anything
to do with the case. Mrs. Lohr then took
matters into her own hands and a week
ago last Friday performed criminal
operation upon herself. As result the
child was born week ago Sunday about
6 o'clock in the evening. ltlived for three

child DR.. A. B. Walker was called and
attended her.
Mrs. Lohr denies that any physician
did anything wrong and takes
all the blame on herself. She says DR.. A.
B. Walker was at the house before the
child was born and said it would not live,
telling her i it was born to leave i on
admitted to DIR. Walker that she had
operated upon herself. She positively
denied that William Unkershick of the
Dueber works was the father of her
child. The woman said she had the
infaut buried but declined to state
that it had been thrown in a
water closet but said she did not
have burial permit. Today is the first
time Mrs. Lohr has been out of bed and
she appears to be doing well. She does
not seem to realize that she has committed
terrible crime.
DR.. E. L. Walker was seen this after
noon by reporter and said he had done
nothing wrong in the matter. He further
said Mrs. Lohr desired him TO perform an
operation, but that he had told her he
was not doing that kind of business. He
had simply made an examination,
using sound and had given her
some harmless medicine. Mrs. Lohr
claimed her husband was the cause of her
trouble and he advised her to either 90
and live with him or else 90 home.
II is hardly necessary to state that DR..
A. B. Walkers connection with the case
was entirely proper.
1t is likely thorough investigation will
be made by Coroner Openhimer and the
police. 1t is the duty of these officials to
make complete investigation.
