DR.. CROFFOhD Is PARD0NED
Decatur County Physician Accused OF
Being Responsible for Death OF
Young Girl Is Freed.

Des Moines, Feb. 2S.-Dr. j. w.
Crofford's plea for an absolute pardon
was granted by Governor B. f. Car.
roll. The state board Of parole recon.
mended to the governor that Crofford
be given an absolute pardon at once,
and the recommendation was ap-
proved.
This is the end Of six months
fight for freedom, made by the Leon
physician who has served several
years at Fort Madison following his
convection on a charge of performing
a criminal operation which resulted
In the death of young girl. Crofford
conducted a sanitarium at Leon.
DR.. Artemus Brown Of Des Moines,
United States pure food inspector.
created a sensation last summer by
voluntarily going before the board OF
parole and declaring that the girl for
whose death Crofford was held guilty,
was operated upon criminally before
she entered the Crofford sanitarium.
Upon the testimony Of DR.. Brown
the board recommended that Govern.
or Carroll grant Crofford an absolute
pardon, but the governor refused to
take action and asked that the board
make a more thorough investigation.
The Brown statement was discredited
by reason of the fact that he had kept
silent during the trial and conviction
of CrnffOrd and had SDOken ONLY after
six years or more had passed.
