the crime W. alleged to be a COM
mon law crime, the indictment
SHOULD have been in the form Of a
common law indictment instead Of
being a statutory Indictment, and
this contention also was strongly
presented in the supreme court.
The negro doctor, Houston Bloom
field, has not yet been brought to
trial, it being the purpose of the
state to wait until the supreme court
has settled the law in the case be-
"a the negrl lato court.
When the girls death was first
heard of in Aberdeen and before the
true facts were ascertained DR.. Lee
pretended that she had come to his
home for treatment for malaria, but
subsequent autopsy showed no signs
Of malaria whatever.
The negro doctor, Houston Bloom
field, told his story to white ply
stefan in Aberdeen. and with this
information at hand the county at
torney at once had the three de-
fendents arrested.
Great indignation was felt at the
time and it became necessary to re-
move the prisoners to another coun-
ty for safekeeping.
