BOARD WILL HEAR NAMES
HEALTH ColfMISSION so DECIDES
IN THE YAUGHAN NEARING.

Testimony Taken Mt the Session Satur-
day Afternoom-EvidenCe as to Mrs.
Vaughan's Place on Stevens Street
Given by Her Neighbors There-Hear-
ing wan Go on This Afternoon and
Evening.
The fourth session of the hearing by
the board of health on the application
of Mrs. Gertrude A. Vaughan for Ii
cense to conduct maternity hospital
ut No. 5 Prospect Place was held Satur-
day afternoon in the common pleas
court room. A number of the remon-
strants were present. When the ses-
sion began all the members of the
board were present except DR.. S. ].
Maher. He came in later. Before the
taking of testimony began DR.. Fleisch-
ner, president of the board, had decided
that names might be submitted in the
testimony if neither party objected.
Before continuing the cross examina-
ton of the witness, Mrs. Loud, who
was on the stand when the previous
session adjourned, Mr.. Goodhart. coun-
sci for Mrs. Vaughan, said AT the
previous session asked Mrs. Loud to
point out to me a certain name and now
ask that she point 1t out to the board
so that they may know what she said:
Without criticism of the board, I think
that its decision just announced re-
garding the introduction of names
gives my friends an opportunity to
protect their friends while we are la
boring in the dark. 1t enables them to
partly put damper on persons con-
nected with the case, while we can't.
Now, think, that the name Mrs. Loud
mentioned to me should be given to
the board, the name of a gentleman
who she said had improper relations
with Mrs. Vaughan. I think that the
board should know the name so that
when that gentleman is called later on,
the board may know his connection
with the case"
DR.. Misunderstanding that i'm
peaches the character of a private citi-
zen the board does not care to hear.
This is a board of inquiry and any
thing intended for it's scrutiny in re-.
gard to this case is all right
Mr.. Goodhart-'I am going to call
the attention of the board to the name
of the person T alluded to the other
day. I understand that there is no OBJ
lection"
Mrs. Loud was then called to the
stand.
Mr.. Goodhart-"Who requested you
to attend this hearing as a witness?"
Mrs. Loud-"Mr Morehouse asked me
two or three weeks ago."
Before or after the trial in the SUI
perior court?"
IT didn't keep track of the trial, so
can't say
Ibid he tell you what he wanted you
to come for?"
Eyes, he said that he wanted to look
into this matter and wanted us to help
him all we could and tell what we saw
and knew"
did he say that in return for that
anything would be done for your
'No''
"Who else besides Mr.. Morehouse
spoke to you to testify before any hear
ing, Rev. Newman Smyth?"
yes"
Leete, that handsome looking gentle
man there?"
"Yes"

q month ago."
"You testified the last time you were
here something about some gentleman
coming ther to take bath Cat Mrs.
vaughan's house,. Do you remember
that?'
Eyes"
"Ten us how you got the information
that he came to take a bath"
Mrs vaughan's children told me.
They said that Fred was taking bath
and they couldn't get In
Now as I understand you, the cur
tains in that house were generally
OPEN
"Part of the time, sometimes they
were closed, sometimes open"
GLOW were they generally evenings?"
Sometimes they were closed and the
house in total darkness"
''How were they at the time these
Dir this were taking placer"

mo. sir"
''Know of one being put through
there?"

Mr.. Goodhart then asked the witness
to look at name he pointed out in the
testimony of the police hearing, and
asked her if she didn't say she saw
that man go into the Vaughan house.
Witness was not sure that she did
say SO.
Mr. Goodhart-"Do you remember
MIR. Kegelmeyer one day skating ur
and down the back yard with a rag
baby?"
Mrs. Loud-"No, I remember of rag
babies being thrown over the fence
into our yard"
''Now, Mrs. Loud, when you looked
