PAID HUSH MONEY.


Investigation OF Alleged Surgical OPP
erations In Chicago.
Chicago. May 23.-The grand jury
today began an exhaustive examination
into sensational charges that mid
wives ana doctors I'm various parts OF
the city had paid thousands of dollars
'proteci-on" money in connection with
illegal surgical operations.
Incidentally the jury indicted Dr.
Lucy Hagenow in connection with the
death of lola Maddjson of Salt Lake
City. Utah. DR.. Hagenow was indict-
ed on this charge year ago. but the
indictment was found technically faul-
ty
Later DIR. Hagenow was called be-
fore the jury to testify to an interview
credited to her but later denied that
she, in common with others, had es-
capped trial for years by the use of
hush money paid to a regularly or
ganized clique of politicians and po-
lice.
States Attorney Healey has assumed
personal charge of the inquiry. The
number of illegal operations perform
ed in Chicago In a year Is said to be
startling. The victims are mostly
girls or women coming here from the
country, or sent, through advertise
ments carefully worded and circulated
privately and in such publications as
would handle them.
The postoffice department at Wash
ington recently barred the advertise
ments of a score or more suspected
physicians and midwives, among them
being DR.. Hagenow, from the mails.

New York. May 23.-"I am no Harry
K. Thaw-but plain John Bell I have
no wealth-but IL had / could pro-
duce witnesses whose testimony would
acquit me-"
With these words a Brooklyn troll
ley car conductor closed an impas-
stoned address to the jury that three
hours later was to find him guilty OF
murder in the first degree. Bell, a
young man of mediocre attainments
was happily married a few years ago
A year after the wedding his wife
died in childbirth. DIR. Charles Wilmot
Townsend. a prominent physician OF
Staten Island. had attended her. On
the humble stone that marked her
grave Bell caused to be chiseled. RE

He was unconsolable for months
brooded over his affliction To his
friends he expressed the conviction that
his wife had not received the proper
medical care. On the night of January
"a last DR. Townsend was shot to death
in his bed. He had been awakened by
the intruder and exclaimed, IF you are
here to rob, take what you can find
but do no harm to my family or me-
The supposed burglar replied, "a
want none of your things; / want YOU
and fired Mrs. Townsend. who occu-
pied the bed with her husband was the
only witness.
Letters subsequently written by Bell
caused his arrest, and in court his own
family, with the exception of his ia
Their. who was excused, appeared against
him. A half brother testified that Bell
confessed to having killed the physi-
clan for revenge.
Bell was the only witness for the de-
Tense and the trial was not prolonged.
Judge Abbott denied a motion for a
new trial and forthwith sentenced the
prisoner to be electrocuted on the first
Monday in July next.

smooth Young Man.

smooth Young Man.
New York. May 23.-Half dozer
wealthy jewelry firms In the Maiden
Lane district are looking for J. Ed
ward Boeck, a diamond broker. to give
an accounting of gems of great value
entrusted to him on his memoranda<
and which he secured to dispose u
alleged wealthy clients.
The exact value of jewelry so Sc.
cured by Boeck Is not definitely known
because of the unwillingness of some
of the firms to discuss the transaction
at this time. but estimates in the jew
eiry district place their value at from
800, 900 to $G5O,00O.
Boeck had Office room at No. ia
Broadway. but has not been seen there
for over a week. He lives in splendid
style at an uptown club. but inquiries
showed that he had ahsentea himself
| from his rooms for some days. Sotns
OF the firms who entrusted him with
vaiuables have called the attention Of
the grand jury to the matter and thai
body is investigating the case.
Boeck Is said to be the son OF Poll
ish nobleman who was banished from
his country because he refused to re-
cognize Russian rule.
When a young man Boeck went to
the Far East and lived for years In
Shanghai. He returned to this couu-
try at the opening of the st. Louis Ex-
position in the suite. 1t is said. OF
Prince Pu Lun, confidential secretary
of the Emperor of China and repre-.
sentative of the imperial Chinese Cow
eminent, in charge of the imperial ex-
hibits at the Exposition.
At the close OF the fair he remained
in the United States and about six
months ago he went into the jewelry
business and was SO successful that he
was soon in a position to command
from the diamond dealers their cost
prices and offer to take their goods
at cost and split the profits OF retail
with them. J. P. Morgan and United
States Senator Clarke are among those
who are said to have made large pur-
chases of Jewelry through Boeck.
Boeck is about Ss years old and was
last heard from in Philadelphia, his
birthplace. He Is said to have lived
In Pittsburg for a time.

END of FAMOUS BREATHITT CoUN-
TY CASE.

conspiracy promising immunity to any
one who should shoot cockrill, DIR. b.
d, Cox and J. b. Marcum, all three OF

The defense, however, presented tes-
timony tending to disprove the con-
spiracy charge and Judge Hargis, tes-
