Mother Names
z in Abortion

PHILADELPHIA. JAM IL (P),
Special Assistant District At
torney Samuel Dash said today
Mrs. Gertrude Silver, in a state
ment made to him. named two
women she said she contactt-'
to arrange an abortion for her
daughter. Mrs. Doris Jean Os-
Itreicher.
The daughter died last August
"a in the North Philadelphia
apartment Of Mr. and Mrs. Mil
ton Schwartz. The district at
torney's Office charges the illegal
abortion caused the food chain
heireSs' death.
Mr.. Dash. former Philadelphia
district attorney now serving in
IA special capacity to prosecute
the Commemorative case against
the Schwartzes and Mrs. Silver,
declined to name the two women
or say whether they would be
arrested in connection with the
abortion.
Mrs. Silver, in an interview
with Earl Selby. Philadelphia
Bulletin reporter. was quoted
yesterday as saying her daugh-
ter had asked her to help ar
range an abortion and to aid her
in obtaining a divorce from her
husband. Earl Ostreicher.
An attorney for Mr.. Ostreicher,
a Miami tFla.) policeman. was
quoted by the Bulletin today as
saying Mrs. Silver's statement
was "a reprehensible attempt to
shift the responsibility for the
death" Of his young bride.
The attorney, Marshall H.
Adler. also of Miami, was quoted
further as saying Mr.. Ostreicher
was paid by the Silvers to sign a
release protecting them from any
civil action in connection with
their daughters death and that
of her unborn child.
The Silvers were not immedi-
ately available for comment.
Mrs. Silver and the Schwartzes
are under indictment.
Mr.. Ostreicher and Doris Jean
Silver eloped two months before
her death while she was staying
with relatives in Miami Beach.
She later returned to Philadel-
phia and was living with her
parents at the time of her visit
to the Schwartz apartment.
