Board Of Health and Coroner
at Odds
WOBAES BODY not BURIED
DR.. SWithin Chandler Refuses 10 Give
Death Certificate Without Post
NOR tenn Being Made

There is a clash between Coroner Al
ferd ID. Vandeycr and Andrew c. Ca
hill, secretary OF the Beard Of Health,
which is at present creating consider
able comment.
The controversy arose over the death
Of Mrs. Mary Mahoney aged 60 years,
Of No. 504 Pine street. who died on
Thursday morning last, and whose fu-
neral was to have taken place this
on Saturday last and DR.. Michael As
morning Mrs. Mahoney was taken Ill
tro. OF Sixth and Pine streets, was
summoned in attendance. The disease
appeared to be q complicated one. but
it is understood that DR.. Astro knew
It's nature.
REFUSED A CERTIFICATE. h
On Monday morning Dr. Astro was
relieved and Or. Swithin Chandler cali
ed I'm attendance. He desired to per-
form an operation on the sick woman.
but she refused to have IL done. and
requested her sons that in case Of her
death they would not allow a post
mOrtem examination 30 be held upon
her body. After Mrs. Mahoney's death.
DR.. Chandler not being satisfied OF the
cause Of her demise desired TO make a
post-mortem examination. This was
refused by the dead wOman's sons, and
Dr. Chandler refused to issue a certi-
hcate OF death.
Coroner Vandever was summoned,
and after an investigation concluded
that death was due TO natural causes.
and issued a certificate accordingly.
This was presented to the health Of
fee by Charles B. DOugherty. under
taker. but Secretary Cahill having
learned that Dr. Chandler refused TO
give q certificate, also refused TO issue
burial permit, and the body Of Mrs.
Mahoney remains uninterred.
Mr. Cahill claims that as long as
the case was not one for the coroner,
that that official had no right to
issue a death certifcate and holds
that as long as DR.. Chandler was the
last attending physician, and as he
would not give a certificate of death,
not knowing the cause he (Mr. Ca
'hilD. had no authority TO issue a bur-
ial permit.
Coroner Vandever claims that he
has made a thorough examination of
the case and finds no evidence of foul
play. He therefore feels justified in
giving a certificate of death even If the
attending physician refused.
Mr. Cahill's stand is backed by the
opinion OF the city solicitor, whom he
has consulted.
Coroner Vandever also holds that he
s acting upon proper authority. In the
meantime Mrs. Mahoney's sons refuse
to allow a post-mortem to be held on
her body, and as DR.. Chandler is out
Of town, no steps have been taken.

strength from the fact that the ferry
