DECISION IN VAUGHAN CASE
(contlnued from Ninth Pago,1

terbury Herald Assuming that the li- censee of this board ought to patronize the Waterbury Herald and solicit cus- tom from it's customers, would It be agreeable that her advertisement should print the license in full, with the names of the members of this board thereto? Or, if the license should be is- sued without such names, with post script in the advertisement containing the names?
 The woman's business cards were found in the shop of notorious criml- nal abortionist; presumably they are found in all such places in this state' If in one, why not in the others? Each card would represent 8 customer. Bond needed no card; his victim would need one to know where to go. Could there be any bigger card for this Wo- man than the honorable, able and high minded men of this board had, after such hearing as this, granted her q license? Why should she not avail her self of the natural strength to her bus mess which such card would produce?
 No investigation has more deeply stirred this community than this. SpillllSi as IL uOtS, il St llillt NiCii oN many criminal abortionists of this city are In states prison, the matter has at tracted the widest attention. In the minds of every thinking person in the city, the names of the persons signing any license for Mrs. Vaughan to keep a lying-ln hospital would be indelibly en- graved.
 Is 1t not absurd to throw upon the neighborhood of Stevens street, or at Prospect Place, the destructive nui- sance of such an institution as this so little called for by the illegitimate ne- cessities of a few New Haven people :? Births represent but small portion of the business done at Stevens street, and which will be done if possible at 8 Prospect Place.
 It is a matter of public notoriety that the city of New Haven is the hot-bed for abortions all over this state and southern Massachusetts, with sporadic cases coming from near Boston, whence came the last victim of Dr. Bond.
 Concluding MT. Alling said:
 Tt has been shown in this investiga-
 tion that this bad reputation has been justly earned, and our neighborhood
 most respectfully but most firmly in-
 sists that it cannot be possible that this
 license shall be granted and that the H.
 cense at 45 Stevens street Oevocable on it's face at the pleasure of the board) shall now be revoked.
 JUDGE sToDDARDs ARGUMENT
 Judge Stoddard, one of the attorneys for the remonstrants submitted his | brief substantially as follows: The conceded or substantially admit ted facts and conditions that surround the applicant and her house as kept by her forbid the favorable consideration of her application on grounds of public
 morality, public policy and the decent administration of justice and law. l shall confine myself practically to con
 alterations that are substantially be- yond the realm of dispute, and shall | limit my remarks chiefly to the char acter and reputation of her house and
 to the facts concerning her life for the
 past few years
 1 In the first place, I desire to consider | the uses to which her house has been devoted. She has advertised and kept a boarding house, and has invited to- | and received in it, young women and 1 girls out of a place-young women sub 1 stantially without the protection of a home and of relatives. In this board l ing house, to which such young women are invited and received, this applicant also has, as a permanent part of her establishment, coming when he chooses and staying as long as he chooses, an unmarried male friend. This male l friend has such peculiar relations tc | the applicant that she cares for his | clothing and personal belongings. She | is a divorced person; he is said to be l an unmarried person. When he comes l how long he stays, and what he does 1 is not divulged; all that is vouchsafed l is that he comes and goes as he pleases
 and stays as long as he chooses. | She has invited to and received into | her household, she says as a boarder

 self from his wife and little children | who had abandoned his family and who was received into her household under | circumstances that called forth the in l dignant remonstrance of the neighbor- | hood to such an extent that, as this ap- l plioant says, she was publicly insulted | by the neighbors because of her connec- | tion with this man.
 | I am using these instances, and shall | use other instances, simply as types of
 condition that this applicant comedies l to have existed, and in view of which she asks the favorable consideration of | this board.
 ! And now this applicant has the hardi- 1 hood to ask this board to give her an | official license to keep 8 lyng-in place l in combination with the reception of | guests of the character of the types tc l which I have referred-plainly immoral
 and criminal in their practices and the l results of their acts. When a child is | born in this house it seems to be taken
 away out of the jurisdiction of this
 state, and, in some instances at least 1 given to a woman who lives either ir
 New York or Pennsylvania.
 | Could there be any stronger induce
 ments to persons desiring to enter upon | or to continue illicit intercourse and to
 get rid of the fruits of their criminal
 conduct, than to have the privilege of | frequenting a house of this character and being protected by the silence, sec
 recy and security promised by this ap- plicant? The inevitable consequence must be, and such would be the conclu-
 sion of this board even without the |
