OHANLON ACCUSED
IN W0MAN'S DEATH
Train Says Former Coroner's
Physician Aided Stapler in
Heinrichs Case.
NURSE WILL CONFESS ALL

Assistant District Attorney Train made
the direct charge before Justice Weeks
In the Supreme Court Criminal Term yes
terdAy that DR.. Philip O'Hanlon. for
many ycars a Coroner's physician ana
now a Police Department surgeon had
conspired with two other persons posing
as doctors to cover up the death Of Mrs.
Louise Helnrichs. which occurred On
August 23. 1910. The charge was made
when the prosecutor was opening his
case TO the jury at the trMl Of DR..
Andre l.. Stapler for granddaughter In
the first degree for performing an illegal
operation on the victim. following which
she soon died.
Mr.. Train outlined how Mrs. Helm
richs with her husband. Sam. both Of
whom lived In Jersey City. had made ar
rangements to have IAN operation per-
formed. They went. said Mr.. Train. to
the home Of Mrs. Vivian Anna Bufum.
a nurse and the wife Of a doctor now
said TO be missing. at 500 West 111th
street. There. II Ia alleged. DR.. Stapler
committed the crime.
The body after being for four years
and "a half In a cemetery In Jersey City
was exhumed and DR.. Otto Schultze Of
the District Attorneys office will testify
tHdt he Tnhus All dutpDSy WulCn tnOWt
that the Official report Of DR.. OHanlon
was untrue and hat he had never made
a complete autopsy to discover the cause
Of death
The charge against Stapler came TO
light through an investigation Of the
Coroner's office conducted several months
ago by Commission Of Accounts Wall
stein.
In outlining tbs case to the Jury Mr..
Train spent much time In making a
mental picture Of the scene in the nat
Of Mrs. BufYum, who has sdnce turned
States evidence and will testify against
DR.. Stapler. He said In conclusion:
" find hat DR.. O'Hanlon called
to zee Mrs. Buffum after the body mad
been moved TO an undertaking estab-
lishment. She will tell YOU that DR..
O'Hanlon prepared a statement for her
to sign In which she made II appear
that Mrs. HeinriGhs. a friend. had come
suddenly. We have her saying in the
presence Of witnesses that things were
looking very bad"
After Stapler was found I'm Chicago
he was indicted last April n ave bail
here. Mr.. Train said that on one of his
visits to this city he had met one of the
witnesses In the case and said that he
had got out Of his trouble In the case.

Stapler was committed to the Tombs.
The taking Of testimony will begin on

the Electric taxicab. which tho pro-
moters contend In safer. cheaper and

and general manager Of the Detroit
Taxicab and Transfer Company. has
come to New York to organize q corn-
pany TO put the electric taxicab on the
streets here.
The new taxicab' has the backing Of
the Electric Vehicle Association Of Amer
ica, an organization of electric auto
mobile companies. A. jackson Marshall,
secretary Of the association. Is In charge
OF the organization in this city. He has
been endeavoring to interest taxicab and
hotel men In the new venture n be-
iieves that in a short time there will be
a first instalment Of 100 Of these ma
chimes at the service of the public. II
10 hoped hat the electric car. which
looks like a private limousine. will ap-
peal particularly to women az q a
means OF travelling about the city.
In Detroit the company has asked 20
cents for the first mile and 40 cents for
each additional mile, single tariff meters
being used. The promoters believe, how
ever. that they will be able to meet the
lower New York rates better than
the gasolene taxicab companies. as they
say the electric taxicab costs much less
to operate.
