BOTH MEN ARE RESPONSIBLE
So SAID THE CORONER'S JURY AT
THE WHITLEY INQUEST
LAST NIGHT.
FORBES MUST ANSWER TO
THE LAW.

The inquest on the body of Maud NJ
Whitley, who died last Friday as result
of a criminal operation, was held at the
Morgue last night. DR.. A. t. Dickson
who is accused of having performed the
operation, and Alexander Forbes, who is
charged with having procured it, were
brought to the jury-room handeuffed to-
gether, the former being accompanied by
his counsel, Judge Robert Ferral.
DIR. Milton II. Atkins testified that be
was called by Norman Macleod, who told
him the girl was suffering from criminal
operation, and that she was married. The
deceased had told him that Dr. Dickson
| had performed the operation.
DIR. H. Kugler of 1865 Howard street had
| been called in consultation with DIR. Atkins.
Miss Whitley told him that the medicines
| she had taken on DIR. Dicksons prescrip-
| ton were compounded at the Owl Drug
! Company's store.
| William Blaisdell, a clerk employed by
| the drug company, produced the prescrip-
tons, and a copy of them was placed in
| evidence.
Mrs. Mary M. A Whitley, mother of
the deceased, testified that her daughter
was not married, but that to save her fair
name she (the mother) had thought best
1
dying, had confessed that DR.. Dickson had
performed the operation. Mr.. Forbes was
the person responsible for her condition
| The medicines were kept in his room and
| he gave them to her.
After her daughter confessed Mrs.
| Whitley visited Dr. Dickson office in COM
| pany with Norman Macleod, and charged
him with having performed the operation
and prescribed the medicines. AT first the
| doctor denied it, but afterward he admitted
that he had prescribed the medicines, but
that they were innocent remedies. Mrs.
Whitley testified in detail against DR..
| Dickson.
| ly corroborative of Mrs. Whiteley's story.
He had talked with Forbes about the mat
| ter. Forbes said he was sorry, and wanted
| to marry the girl. Miss Whitley told the
witness that she did not want to marry
Forbes and preferred to risk an operation.
She was engaged to William Gorham, a
Waterman on the steamer Rio Janeiro.
| Charles L. Morgan, chemist and phar-
macist, OF 401 Sixth street, analysed the
contents of the dead girls stomach. He
| found no traces of poison. AS an expert
| pharmacist, he testified that DR.. Dickson 8
| prescription contained a drug which was
not recognized by pharmacists as legiti-
| mate.
| DR.. J. S. Barrett, who performed the au-
topsy, told the results of his examination
Alexander Forbes, who is under arrest
| for the crime, was called. He objected to
being sworn, but afterward answered few
questions.
| DIR. Dickson was called, but on the adj
vice of his attorney he absolutely refused
| to be sworn.
The Coroner's jury found that the de-
ceased had come to her death as the result
of criminal operation performed by DR..
Dickson, and that Alexander Forbes was
an accessory before the fact. The Jury
recommended that the authorities deal
with them according to law.

Eastern cities have similar ordinances, and
they have been of great aid in the suppress
sion OF indecent literature.
The proposed ordinance provides that
any person who shall lend, give away or
snow an obscene or indecent book, maya
zine, picture, or the like, shall be guilty OF
mlsdemeanor and subject to fine, upon
conviction, of $500 or less, or undergo i'm
prlsonment for six months or less. 1t went
to the Judiciary Committee.
. Inc following communication from Po-
lice Surgeon George B. Somers was read:
Gentlemen: I have the honor of informing
your honorable body that Mrs. Herman Del
rlchs and Miss Fair of this city have purchased
modern and perfectly equipped am ulance,
provided with horses, harness and everything
necessary to its use, which they desire to pre-
sent to the city and county OF San Francisco in
behalf of the Doctors Daughters Society, for
use in connection with the City Receiving Hos
pitaL The ambulance is freely offered as a
gift, provided that your honorable body Will
agree TO support and care for IL.
The matter was referred to the Com
mittee on Health and Police.
There was some discussion over the
resolution which was passed at previous
meeting that the character and quality of
bituminous rock to be laid on city streets
be thoroughly examined.
Supervisor Spreckels wanted it referred
to committee of the whole. There had
been an error made in printing the number
of the bill. The resolution was lost, and it
was decided to amend the order as to the
number and have it republished.
The contract for supplying the Fire De
partment with 500 single and 500 double
hydrants and other forgings was awarded
to the Risdon Iron and Locomotive Works.
An amendment was introduced to the
city ordinance providing for the number
ing of buildings to the effect that no per-
son shall maintain any number other than
the one that is placed above the door, and
also that each figure shall be an inch and
three-quarters in height.
Quite number of bids were received for
the performance of street work in various
parts of the city. They were all referred
to the Street Committee.

FOR FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
The Young Woman's Club Holds a
Open Meeting.

Opth lsIccbthSs
An open meeting was held last night by
the Young Woman's Suffrage Club at 9O9
Market street 1t was quite largely at
tended, mostly by ladies, though there was
a fair sprinkiing of the sterner sex in the
audience.
Mrs. Laura de Force Gordon told the
weil-known history of the suffrage bill at
the last session of the Legislature in an
entertaining manner, giving her subject a
lively interest by the intersection of per-
tinent criticisms. Mrs. Haskell read a.
paper in answer to Military Training in
Our Public Schools in which she argued
in favor of teaching boys military drill,
tactics, etc. Judge Spencer, father of the
suffrage bill, delivered an address which
pleased the audience greatly.
In addition to the addresses programme
of musical and literary nature was pre-
scented. Miss A. Trims played the mando-
lin, Mrs. Bessie r. Dibble contributed to the
evenings enjoyment with soprano solo
and Professor Mansfield performed on the
banjo.

by Its Officers.
Quite finished military display is prom
lsed at the annual muster and inspection
OF the Naval Battalion tonight. 1t is to
be held at the armory on Pacific avenue,
just above Polk street, tonight at OF clock.
Three companies of infantry and one pla-
toon of artillery, consisting of two sections,
are to participate.
Lieutenant Commander F. II. Stable is
to be the inspecting officer. A number of
officers from the regular army and the
navy will also be in attendance.
The infantry will be in heavy marching
order. The. uniforms will be the blue
service clothes, with leggins, haversacks
and rubber ponchos. The artillery sec
lions will be IN white duck working suits.
very careful inspection will be made of
the arms, of which the Naval Battalion has
a better supply than any other portion
of the National Guard. The guns, re-
volvers and cutlasses are all of the latest
and most approved pattern and are fur
nished by the National Government. This
accounts for their excellence.
No formal invitations have been sent out
except to military men. The public at
large will be welcomed, however, and quite
a crowd of the friends of the soldier boys is
expected.

THE CITY WINS.
Its Title to a Disputed Part OF Lafayette
Square Affirmed.

Square Affirmed.
The Supreme Court has finally settled
the title of the city to the northwestern
corner OF Lafayette square, which for a
great many years has been in the posses
sion first of Matthew Delaney. and, after
his death, of Thomas Mooney and Edward
]. Delaney, his executors.
The lot claimed by Delaney's estate has
a frontage of about 200 feet on Laguna and
also on Jackson street. The city brought
suit for its possession, and the defendants
alleged their peaceable and unopposed
possession for number of years, and also
an irregular conveyance of the property
for the purposes of public use. The case is
in most respects similar 10 the Holladay
case: but in that action the appeal from
the Judgment of the Superior Court con-
firming Holladay's title to part of the park
was delayed too long, and upon that tech
nicality Holiday was given possession
In this case. however, things were finished
on time, and the city now owns the prop
erty in question.
