rupting place, and how utterly indecent to use such place as rooms for young, innonnnt eirlS2

when men and women came to the place, so that the boys were observed in their impatience to thump on the door and be refused admittance, the in- ference being obvious that what was going on in the house was not fit even for the Vaughan boys to see. (h) The continuance of such conduct until leaving Stevens street.
 These facts are proved by eye wit | nesses.
 | After reviewing the testimony of the remonstrants MT. filling said | Opposed to this mass of testimony | what is said?
 l Of these policemen one says that the house did have the reputation of being place where women "got rid of their children" That is sufficient. That the policeman did not make inquiries after that is to his discredit.
 E Another policeman states that at his 1 time of service, 1S93 the house was re- 1 puted to be a place where illegitimate 1 children were born, but the record of | vital statistics shows no children born in 1893 at this place, and only one, the | Vishno child, claimed for 1893.
 Another policeman says that he found Vaughan boy at o'clock in the morning, lost, locked out" of home. Now, this boy did not return to his home and find himself locked out and | unable to get in, or he would have made disturbance and got in; he had been, earlier in the evening, locked out" and had got lost. When he re- turned no surprise was expressed and no questions asked.
 Is not this corroborative of the testi- mony of the objectors that the children | were locked out?"
 Another policeman testifies to the stoning of doors and ringing of door, bells, and to Mrs. Vaughan's appearing with pistcl-this at late hours of the night and early hours of the morning, as Mrs. Vaughan says
 But what does this mean? People pull the doorbell with the idea of going in She says that the man McCarty called her bad names, imputing want of chastity. What does this mean? Applicants pressing for entrance at a late hour of the night or early in the morning, being refused admission and then making a disturbance and saying that the woman was disreputable What sort of a woman is this appli- cant?
 The next henious offence was the gross libel upon Dr. Newman Smyth in the naming of two illegitimate chil- dren after him.
 Dr. Newman Smyth is distinguished clergyman of New Haven, prominent for his fearless work for the good of the city, prominent for his fearless work throughout the state in the interests ot good order and morality; standing ir the General Assembly side by side with clergymen of every denomination, in- cluding those of the Roman Catholic or- der; known throughout the state as the leading Congregational clergyman 1T the state, and known throughout New England as one of the leading Congre. gational ministers of New England.
 Dr. Newman Smyth (Whom this Wo- man, through her attorney, has vulgar. ly and Intentionally called Smith agair and again and again) in the course o1 his duty investigated the character of Mrs, Gertrude Vaughn three years ago and the reputation of her house. TC him she bears a natural hostility.
 In March, 1898, carrying on her lying. in business in defiance of the judgment of the city court, she caused two bas. tard children to be named after New. man Smyth.
 It is idle for Mrs. Vaughn to state that she was in New York on the day that the doctor took the name of one O these babies, and gone somewhere els' when the doctor took the name of thu other baby. The spite the hatred, tn, malice, which caused these names to b. given to these children, confessedly came from Mrs. Vaughn. On her owi showing. the mothers were eager on he return to tell her how the babies hat been named, as if the inspiration fo the naming had come from Mrs Vaughn.
 That this naming was gross insul upon Dr. Newman Smyth and upon th
 community is finally wrenched out iron the lips of this shameless woman; sh is obliged now to admit that she ough then to have known that such naming was not silly joke, but a gross insul to a civilized community.
 What did she do? What would a de | cent WOIlldH nave done II C1Prt . had been a mistake? An apology would have been sent to Dr. Newman Smytl and an explanation rendered to him
 Nothing of the kind was ever though
 of, not even after the insult had beel made public Gas it surely must hay been known it would be) by the filing o : the certificates in the public office o | the registrar and by their being pub lished in the daily papers.
 This board of health cannot in homo

 ton an institution so poorly manages . as that it's bastards, under any pretex , whatever, shall be used as a means 0 criminal libel upon any citizen, in what ever condition of life he may be. (5) There was found in the office 0
 Dr. Bond one of the mos -' noted criminal abortionists that tn
 world ever saw, dozen or more card o of Mrs. Vaughan, advertising her plac ,, at 8 Prospect Place. The testimony c = MT. Mix and Dr. E. L. R. Thompson ' taken together it seems to me makes ,' extremely probable that Dr. Bond sen 7 his business to Mrs. Vaughan and thes II cards confirm and demonstrate tn
 claim to be correct.
 It seems to me I can bring home T, this board in no manner more effectual , ly the nature of the duty which the . are to perform than by suggesting tn
