Dr. Ostro and DR.. Chandler then
agreed that if the health board could
assume the responsibility Of issuing a
death permit, they had no objection.
Secretary Cahill was directed to is
sue the paper to Charles b. Dough-
erty, and Mrs. Mahoney will be inferred

morning at o'clock.
Last night a meeting of those inter-
ested in the case was held in the office
of William S. Hilles, the attorney, who
had been retained by the Mahoney
family.
DR. Chandler stated that he was
willing to issue a certificate, providing
the sons Of the deceased signed an
agreement saying they had been hasty
and promising to drop the entire mat
ter, instead Of bringing suit against
the city and DR.. Chandler, as they had
threatened. The agreement also in
cluded an examination of the body to
ascertain the cause Of death.
The sons refused to sign any agree
ment and the physician refused to
give a certificate.

In conversation last night John Ma
honey, one Of the sons Of the dead
woman, said
I'VE have done all we could, and we
now propose to allow the body of our
mother to remain there until someone
else acts. We have asked for certih-
Gates, we have done everything in our
power, and we can do no more.
I'VE promised our mother on her
dying bed that her body should not be
cut up. There is no necessity for it,
and we will not allow it. We are
willing to allow all the doctors in VIII
mington to come to the house and ex-
anime the body with the exception OF
DR.. Chandler. We will not allow them
to make a post-mortem, for it is not
necessary. DR.. OstrO, who had attend
ed her for some time, knows of what
she died, and says he can prove it to
any doctor in the city. We have ap-
pealed to Mayor Fahey. and he thinks
the body should be buried, but he can
do nothing"
