SENIOR B CLASS DAY
"A Drama the Leading, Feature of the
Exercise

To say that there was a large audience
present at the senior b class day exercises
at the high school yesterday is feeble de-
scription of the crowd. The program was
handsomely gotten up in the class colors,
violet and white.
The decorations of the room on each side
of the stage were of large brakes, green
ferns, tall stems of the white yucca flow
ers, violet thistles and quantities of wild
flowers in the same royal shade.
The senior BIS have elected for several
years to make drama the principal fea-
ture of their class day exercises. This
year it was a presentation of James Fenni-
more Cooper's Spy"
Fl. s. Benedict president of the class
called the meeting to order at lis, after
which Helen r. Carhart, secretary, read
the minutes of the last meeting Of the Star
and Crescent society, followed by a selec-
ton by the Mandolin and Guitar club Of
the winter class of '99.
Then the curtain was raised On the first
scene of the drama. The young faces of

attractive masquerading in the costumes

DIED IN HER SHAME
MRS. DR.. SMITHS DEN THE SCENE
OF THE CRIME
DAMNlNG TESTIMONY FOUND
The Lover Tells the Story of the Crime
as He Heard It From the Lips Of
the Dead Girl-Details

Upon a slab in the morgue lie the re-
mains of what was a few weeks ago a
beautiful and innocent girl, but who now
lies lifeless as the result of a criminal oper-
alton performed upon her to avert the in
evitable effects of her own folly. Less
than 20 years of age, of an innocent and
confiding disposition, she was led astray.
When she realized her condition she
became desperate and resolved upon the
employment of means to avoid the conse-
Quences of her indiscretion Although the
facts in connection with her death came 10
the notice of the authorities only yesterday
morning, and an evident attempt had been
made to conceal the circumstances of the
case, SO energetic was the action of the
coroner and health officer that by o'clock
last evening it had been ascertained with
out the shadow of doubt that the girl died
from the effects of malpractice, and fur
Their that the operation was performed in
the lying-in institute of Mrs. Dr. Smith a.
The herald., 1898-06-29

Wednesday evening her condition had be-
come so serious that DR.. ]. w. Trueworthy
was sent for and came. When he arrived
Lizzie expressed herself as feeling much
better and did not seem to be in an espe-
cially dangerous condition. The doctor
was informed by her of what had occurred,
and was also told by Mrs. Smith that the
girl was suffering from the effects of a
miscarriage, but Mrs. Smith carefully gave
him to understand that if any operation
had been performed it had been done before
the patient had come to her establishment.
Lizzies name In the "lying-in institute"
was Mrs. Alice White, under which cogno-
men she registered on her arrival and by
which she was known during the period Of
her stay.
Upon his visit to Lizzie last Friday morn
ing Roller saw that her condition was ap-
parently not improving and that she was a
very sick girl. He called Mrs. Smith s
attention to this. but she passed the mat
ter off lightly, saying that Lizzie was all
right and would soon be about again.
Again. on Saturday and Sunday, Roller
visited the girl and the full story of her
treatment in the institution was by her to
him told and retold with all it's gruesome
details. Roller explains that by this time
he was beginning TO be afraid of serious
results and he went to the institution not
only to see his fiancee but to see as much
and hear as much as he could. Sunday he
called on her for the last time, staying with
her from II a. m. until 1 p. m. He once
more told Mrs Smith that he thought the
girl was in a very bad condition and insist
ed that DR.. Trueworthy be called in to see
her again. The doctor came at $3.50 in the
afternoon saw the situation and a few
hours later performed an operation in the
hope of saving her life, which was futile
as she died a short time afterward from
blood poisoning.
Monday a certificate of death was filed in
the health office by DR.. Trueworthy, with
out comment, giving as the direct cause of
death septicemia, and naming the same
disease as a contributing cause. The at
tention of Health Officer Powers had in the
meantime been called by another party to
the suspicious circumstances attending the
death in the "lying-in hospital" and he at
once instituted an investigation. Coroner
Campbell was notified and a consultation
was Immediately held with DIR. Truewor-
thy. AS result. at o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon an autopsy was performed upon
the body by DR.. r. o. Webb, assisted by Dr.
Trueworthy and superintended by Cor
oner Campbell The result of the autopsy
left no doubt whatever of the cause of
death, as the organs plainly indicated by
their condition that death had resulted
from the effects of a criminal operation.
The inquest was rot held at the time but
will take place at 10 o'clock this morning
at the undertakiry rooms of Orr e. Hines,
when Roller will go upon the stand and tell
his story. DR.. Trueworthy will be called
upon to state the facts in the case as they
have come under his observation and Mrs
DR.. Smith will be called upon to explain
how, why and when Miss Hutflesz came to
be an occupant of her sanitarium and the
reasons of her death.

the operation performed and the necessary
care afterwards. Two weeks ago last Sat-
urday night her father came up to the city
on a visit. She had made arrangements
to go to the 'lying-in institute" of Mrs.
Smith on that day, but the arrival of her
father caused her to postpone her depart
ure until after he had gone back to the
ranch, which was on the Monday following.
From the statements made to Cor
oner Campbell yesterday afternoon by Kol-
Ter, who visited the girl at the institute
nearly every day during her stay there, the
following was learned:
Two days after her arrival at Mrs.
Smiths den Lizzie wrote pathetic note to
her lover, saying that she was getting
along nicely, was not feeling badly and
complained principally of being lone some
She said that she was entertained during
the day by Mrs. Smiths daughter vino
played the piano and sang to her in the par
lor. when nobody was around. but that
when visitor appeared you ought to see
me fly" for Mrs. Smith took good care
that no inquisitive eyes should see any Of
her 'boarders." Lizzie said that she was
only allowed to leave the house after night
fall when she took short walks in the vi
entity for an hour or two in company with
one of the inmates.
Upon receipt of this letter, Roller went
TO call. but was received with suspicion by
Mrs. Smith and only after some parleying
did he secure admittance, as he was in
formed by the "doctress' that male visit
ors to her place were not encouraged.
When he saw Lizzie they talked over the
situation and she told him that Mrs. Smith
had performed an operation upon her upon
the day of her arrival, using several in
struments. Being questioned as to whether
she had experienced much pain she said
no, that she had been able to be up and
around every day since. Roller continued
his visits and later learned that the mis-
carriage occurred the following Sunday,
the girl relating to him full details of the
occurrence at the time. From Sunday on,
Lizzie was confined to her bed, from which
she never rose, dying late the next Sunday
evening, June 18th.
During the week that she lay in bed
Roller visited her nearly every day and
noted her condition. At no time, he says,
was she In an apparent fear of dying and
always expressed herself as being certain
that she would come out all right. Last

ley, president of the winter class of 's9, in
a neat little speech presented the class with
Star and Crescent pins, the badge of men,
bership in the alumni association, to which
Harry G. Austin of the winter class of SO
happily responded.
The most attractive featINe of the after
noon was the class song. The girls all wore
white duck dresses, white hats with violet
hat bands, ties and ribbons; the boys white
duck suits, white hats purple bands and
ties. The air was selections from comic
operas and the words were the result of
combined effort Of a committee composed
Of Marion Mckenzie, Jessie Lewis, Mabel
Morton and Walter L. Brown. 1t abounded

Although no arrests have yet been made
and the inquest on the body of the unfor-
tunate young woman has not been held,
from the stories told by various witnesses
yesterday afternoon, and the result of the
autopsy, it is probable that Mrs. Smith

that he had tried al all times to make the
utmost reparation in his power and thai
the only reason a marriage had not taken
place was that the girl herself absolutely
refused to consummate the union until she
had first succeeded in removing all traces
of her indiscretion.
Elizabeth NJ. Hutlesz, who would have
been 20 years old on the 9Th of next month
is the name of the unfortunate For some
time she had been employed at various
places in the city and country as house mait
or nurse girl. When not employed she re-
sided with her parents at their home, NO
1437 Wright street. Last fall and winter
she was engaged by family at Fullerton
Orange county, but returned to the city In
April and secured service as nurse maid
In a Main street family which position She
continued to hold until the 22d of May wher
being in poor health she returned to heI
home to rest and recuperate.
At this time her condition had evidently
dawned upon the girl herself and she rea-
liked that the symptoms of sickness tor
menting her were the natural consequences
of pregnancy. To her lover, Roller, who
claims to have been engaged to her, she
confided her fears and they discussed the
matter at some length as to what was tc
be done. He claims that from the first lie
urged the girl to marry him at once, but
she demurred and insisted upon consulting
some doctor who would relieve her. Hell
father, Andrew Hutflesz, was away frorr
home having care of a large ranch neal
Fullerton, and in her dilemma the poor cir
appealed to several neighbors to find out
where relief could be secured.
To one of her female friends she related
the old fairy tale of having a friend who
had been unfortunate enough to fall and
who wished to consult an abortionst. She
said that her friend was the sole support
of a large family and felt 1t incumbent upor
her to have something of the kind done as
she could not bear the odium of giving
birth to an illegtimate child. Lizzie was
advised that any such course would be
highly dangerous and the cases of the vic
tins of Electrician Hastings and others Of
his ilk were cited as warning examples 81
