summoned DIR. Charles +. Marston and
the abortion it is alleged was committed
by DR.. Worth three weeks ago. The
woman's condition DIR. Marston found to
be serious but shortly after his taking
charge of the case she seemed to i'm
prove.
Last evening she had very bad spell
and, though everything was done To save
her life. she died at II 80 o'clock. Mrs.
Bodell was the wife of Charles ii. Bodell
and was 2S years OF age.

doctor for the purpose Of procuring tho
alleged abortion.
WHAT THE AUTOPSY SHOWED.
The result OF the autopsy, which was
held by Medical Examiner DIR. Jav Per-
kins at the morgue this noon, showed
that death resulted from blood poisoning
due To miscarriage. The woman had been
pregnant but two months.
The charge of abortion against DIR.
Worth is founded upon tho statement
made by Mrs. Bodell. Sne told her hus-
band last Sunday that the doctor per-
formed the operation. AT that time ac-
cording 10 the statement OF DIR. Marston
there was no hope of Mrs. Bodells recov-

that this was not tho first time the doc
