A RANK FAKE
Was The Alleged Serious Charge
Against John B. Downey, a Scio
Oil Man-.-No Evidence to Sustain
the Charge Prisoner Discharged.

The hearing of John B. Downey.
charged with unlawfully and felonious-
ly aiding and abetting the producing
of an abortion on the person of Maria
T. Wright, from the effects of which
she died, occurred before Justice Dun
ming in the county Jail yesterday after
noon at 3 o'clock. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Meyers, assisted by Attorney
Richard Ryan, appeared for the State,
and Attorney Sam Boyce for the de-
Tense.
The evidence was of very spicy ma
ture, but it did not in the least warrant
the sensational write-up it was given
in morning paper yesterday. The
affair was a rank fake all the way
round, according to the statement of
the Prosecuting Attorney after the case
was over Mr.. Meyers was very in
dignant that SO much time had been
taken up by the affair.
All the witnesses called were for
the State. Before any witnesses had
peen examined the Prosecuting Ator-
ney stated that the case had not as
yet received as much of his attention
as he would like to give it, and asked
the court to continue the hearing I'M
til this morning to allow him to work
up some important evidence in the
case if the evidence to be heard war
ranted the holding Of the defendant.
Mr.. Eoyce said that as he felt perfect
ly assured that the prisoner would be
discharged at the completion of the
testimony about to be given, he would
agree to that arrangement, so it was
allowed by the court.
Witnesses examined were DR.. D. H.
Taylor, DR.. Rau, DR.. NJ. w. Glass, Mrs.
Higgins and Mrs. Louisa Cramer,
neighbors of the deceased, and Clinton
F. Wright, the husband and prosecut-
ing witness. The testimony in general
had performed the operation on herself,
and that her death had resulted from
blood poisoning resulting from the
operation. At the conclusion Of the
testimony Attorney Eoyce moved that
the defendant be discharged. Mr. Mey-
ers also made the same motion, stat
by which the defendant could be held
on the evidence. Accordingly the JUS
tice discharged the prisoner.
Coroner Schultze was present at the
hearing.
Next Monday evening quite a num-
Der Of cases will be heard against a
