EVIDENCE OF CRIME
Found at Autopsy Upon Young
Woman at lorain--lovor
Held Under Bond.

Lorain, o., Jan. "a sensation was
caused here yesterday when sub
poenas were issued to several doctors
to appear at an inquest Thursday to
tell what they knew in regard to the
sudden death of Miss Nettie Lukens.
Preparations to conduct the young
woman's funeral at Z o'clock Tuesday
evening had been made. At 6 o'clock
the coroner appeared to conduct the
post-mortem. The examination was
completed and the funeral occurred at
the appointed hour.
The mysterious circumstances sur
rounding the case warranted Coroner
French, he thought, in making an in
vestigation. and contrary to the wishes
of the girls relatives he, with squad
of doctors, he'd post-nio. Ieih e...Ii-
nation which, 1t is alleged, revealed
tho fact that death resulted from a
criminal operation.
Walter Smith, a prominent young
man, was placed under $500 bonds to
appear at the inquest.
The dead woman made her home
with Mrs. William Callister, her sis
ter. Her parents live at Grand Haven
Mich, her father being chief of police
of that place.
