Criminal Negligence May Be Charge
 Against Dr. Harry J. Hdiselden

Chicago, November 1S--An autopsy over Baby Bollinger. the defective infant who died last night after his mother and the attending physician agreed not to attempt to prolong life, was held to- day by H. G. w. Reinhardt, coroner s physician. and w. D. McNaIy, city chemist Their conclusions are said to have sustained previously expressed be- liefs that the infant was doomed either to death or a life of anguish and to have justified pr. II. J. Haiselden, who allowed the child to die when an opera tion might have saved it's life
 The inquest before jury of physicians was continued until tomorrow after noon.
 The result of the autopsy was read be- fore the jury. It showed that the baby was paralyzed on the left side from head to foot. On the right side the outer ear was formed, but lacked the drum and the child would have been deaf because there was no ear on the left side. On the right side there was no neck, the skin growing from the cheek to the shoulder blade.
 Curvature of the spine and hemorrhage of the spinal canal also were found

Hoffman had indicated that unless the post mortem proved the child an unquestion- able mental defective, Dr. Haiseden might be tried for criminal negligence.

 Tt would have been paralytic all it's life. My own opinion is that Dr. Haisel- den was right in not allowing the baby to live"
 From every corner of the United States telegrams came to Dr. Haiselden today expressing the thoughts of physicians, social welfare workers, prominent women and men on the case. The surgeon Is a bachelor. He has two adopted daugh-
