DANAHER, Circuit Judge
(concurring) .
I agree that the evidence of the other abortions was admissible on the issue of “intent,” for such evidence tended logically to establish an element of the offense charged. I do not understand that the result would be otherwise if the performance of the treatment had been in issue. See, generally, for discussion of the applicable tests, Fairbanks v. United States, 1955, 96 U.S.App.D.C. 345, 347, 226 F.2d 251, 253 and the cases cited, both in the majority and dissenting opinions ; 2 Wigmore, Evidence § 359 (3d ed. 1940).
