VAIL HAS GONE A t . . Police Were Unable to Locate Her Whereabouts This Morning VERDICT. 01. CORONER'S JURY It Says That Mrs. Watklns' Death Was Due to a Criminal Operation Performed by Airs. Vall-Warrant Issued for tier Arrest. That a henlous crlmeliad been com mitted nnd caused the death of Mrs. Thomas J. Watklns at her home, 2,806 North Main avenue, lust Friday night was revealed at tho coroner's Inquest conducted In Alderman Williams' of fice In the North End last night. The guilty person, according to an affidavit made by Mrs. Watklns a few hours previous to her death, Is Mrs. Dr. King Vail, of Mulberry street. After Ipss than an hour's deliberation the Jury found a verdict which was de livered In a sealed envelope to the cor oner at a late hour last night The verdict was to the effect that Mrs. Watklns died from a criminal op eration performed by Mrs. Dr. King Vail. At midnight a Tribune reporter called at Mrs. Vall's home on Mulberry street and was Informed by her hus band that she was not at home, nor was she likely to be during the night. At 1 o'clock this morning Alderman Fltzalmmons was taken to his office, where Coroner Kelley and Lieutenant of Police John Davis appeared, and on the Information of the latter a war rant was issued for the arrest of Airs. Vail. Lieutenant Davis and Patrolman Coleman proceeded to her home and mude a thorough search of the prem ises. From what they saw the officers were satisfied that Mrs. Vail hud not been at her residence last night. Her husband refused to throw any light on the whereabouts of his better half. The matter will be taken up with vigor to day, and a determined effort made to find where Mrs. Vail Is at present lo cated. It has been currently reported since Mrs. Vall's name has been con nected with this unfortunate affair that many cases of malpractice could be.lald at her door. Spectators who listened to the grue some testimony In the dingy office of the alderman did not hesitate to be lleve that a verdict would be rendered implicating Dr. Vail. Tho evidence of the doctors and the dead woman's hus band seemed to prove beyond a doubt that a criminal abortion had been com mitted, while the ante-mortem state ment charges Dr. Vail with the guilt Antc-.Mortcin Statement. Following Is the statement which Mrs. Walkins made nnd affixed her signature to several hours preceding her death: Lackawanna County, ss.: The statement of Jennie Watklns: The above named udmltted or confessed liefore me, un alderman In and for the sutil county, that Mrs. Dr. King A'all, of Mulberry street, Bcranton, performed n criminal abortion upon me Dec. 6, In;' I, with un instrument and did so at divers times unknown to my husband. (Signed) Jennie Watklns, Witnesses John J. Sullivan, Al. D. ; Charles Thompson, AI. D. The above names or persons sworn and subscribed before me this 28th day of December, ISM. D. AI. Wllllums, Alderman. The statement was not offered in evi dence until nearly the close of the In quest, nor was Mrs. Dr. Vall's name mentioned In connection with the case until It was read from the paper to which Airs. Watkln's name was signed. The signature was made In an even hand and did not Indicate that the writer wus laboring under unusual ex citement. Thomas J. Watklns, the husband of the dead -woman, was present at the hearing, and was examined by the cor oner. He Is apparantly 30 years of age and appeared well-to-do and above the intelligence of the average mechanic or laboring man. Some time ago he made un application for an appoint ment to the police force. Mr. Watklns was the first witness called. He said: "On Dec. 15 my wife told me she had been operated upon by n person In the central city Dec. 5. I don't know that she was treated by that person afterward. My wife was not very 111 until Dec. 20, and on that day I summoned Dr. Charles Thomp son. She died Just before midnight, Friday, Dec. 28. Her conditions was so much Improved on Christmas Day that Dr. Thompson discontinued his visits until the day she died. Her Condition Critical. He pronounced her condition critical and advised a consultation. Dr. Sulli van was called by my consent, and he told me that my wife had better make a sworn statement, as she couldn't live. 1 was (present iwhen she made such a stutement; she was perfectly rational und did not die for eight hours after ward. She was conscious up to an hour -before dying. After Dec. & my wife made several visits to the central city. . I don't know the number of times she visited the central city, nor whether or not she was operated upon more than once." Dr. Thompson was then called. His testimony revealed the condition of Mrs. Watklns, her death and the cir cumstances which led up to the taking of the ante-mortem statement. He said: I was first summoned to attend Mrs, Watklns on Dec. 20. She called my at tentiou to a vessel which contained a foetus and plHcenta. She was In no worse a condition than is usual in such cases. I treated her to expel blood clots and relieve pain. The next day she was better and had further Improved by Dec. 22. I visited her Dec. 23 and Dec. 25. On the last day she was so mucin better that I dls continued calling. ' She had told me an abortion had been performed upon her with an Instrument and' cotton. I had treated her with antiseptic douches to prevent blood poisoning. On th day -she died,. Dec, 28, I consulted with Dr. Sullivan with the consent of Mr. Watklns. Dr. Tliomptlon Refused. Several weeks previous to Dec. Mrs. Watklns asked me to perform ai abortion upon her and I refused. Dr. John J. Sullivan, who consulted with Dr. Thompson tlhe day of Mrs. Watkln's death, testified as follows: Dr. Thompson oalled -me to consult upon the case Dec. 28. He told me -that a criminal abortion had been performed upon Mrs. Watklns. Who, In Dr. Thmnp son's opinion, could not live. I agreed to consult on 'the case provided that a notary or Justice of tho peace should accompany us to take an ante-mortem statement. He had told me the circum stances of the case.' I made only the one visit. She wnS dying of heart failure brought on by blood poisoning. In the presence of the alderman I told iher I thought she would die and suggested that she make a sworn statement. I concurred, -with Dr. Thompson's treatment; he had done all that could be done for her. She said thut Ave operations had been performed upon her on and after Dec. 5, and that her husband had been Ignor ant of the operations until she told him. Alderman Williams, who took Mrs. Watklns' dying statement, testified: I did not know Mrs. Watklns until the day I was called by the doctors to take her confession. She was perfectly rational. She said an operation had been performed on her Dec. C and many limes afterward. She said an Instrument was used. The statement was written at her bedside; I used two different pens, which accounts for the different ap pearance of my handwritings In the confession. Other Testimony Hoard. John D. Watklns and John McCul- lough, neighbors of the Watklns family, testified to the happy lives and repu tation of the latter. Dr. Sullivan, on being re-called, would not testify that a foetus could be ex pelled Dec. 20 if no operation had been performed or medicine taken since the operation of Dec. 5. Dr. Thompson ex pressed the opinion that such would be quite possible If the plucenta wus re moved by the operation of Dec. 6. At this point was read the ante-mortem statement, which appears above. Coroner Kelley then announced the result of the autopsy conducted by himself In the presence of Drs. Thomp son, Sullivan, Strang and Donne. He said In his talk to the Jury: "We found the cause ot death In the uterus or womb, but to dispel any possible doubt, the lungs, brain, heart, kidneys, liver nnd stomach were examined; . these were found perfectly normal. We found that a foetus had been expelled from the womb, which was corrupted with pus; it contained nearly a pint. We found the intestines congested and In the membrane between the small- in testines and the spine a quantity of pus was found. This was caused by blood poisonlg from the womb, which in turn, was caused by a criminal abortion. 'The autopsy and the evidence shows clearly that a crime, a serious crime, has been committed, and It Is your duty to return a verdict In accordance with tho testimony you have heard." The Jurymen were: Matthew Golden, George W. Davis, John Kenaway, Llewellyn Bright, Henry Coles ano fcu win T. Davis. They agreed upon a verdict after a short deliberation and placed it sealed in the hands of the coroner. MY PARTNF.r'aT ACADEMY. Produced In an Excellent .Manner by AI. drich and Company.

PASSED THIRD READING Common Council Is Now Through with Annexation Ordinance. . IVELY PARLIAMENTARY TILT Air. Robathan Raised a Nice Point and President Nealis Gave a Inlqiio Ruling-Defining tho Status of a Street Railway Company. Common council Is through with the Minooku annexation ordinance, unless the select body adds ammendments, to It. At last night's adjourned session of the common council the ordinance was passed on third reading and will now go to the higher body for consideration, where it will no doubt meet Its doom. Councilman Rattle called up the or dinance on third reading and Air. Roba than objected, claiming that the ordi nance had not been legally passed on first and second readings. On Thurs day evening of last week the body met and Mr. Battle, toward the close of the meeting, moved that an adjournment be taken until the next evening, when the ordinance passed on two readings. Air. Robathan maintained that this was illegal. One motion should have been made to adjourn to a stated time to be followed by a motion adjourning the body.. President Nealis ruled that one motion was sufficient for both pur poses. President Nealis Badly Mixed. Air. Sweeney, at this point, arose In his place and declared that Mr. Battle made the -motion to adjourn to the following evening fully fifteen minutes before the final adjournment. Air. Robathan appealed to the minutes and asked that the portion referring to the motion be read. 'As for myself, personally, I have no objection to complying with your re quest," said President Nealis with some hesitation," -but I leave It to the council to decide. If you want the minutes read you must put It In the form of a motion and I will let the council pass on it." 'I am not making a motion; I am asking for information," said Mr. Robathan warmly. 'Then I refuse to recognize you." said the president. "Call the roll." It was done and the annexation passed third reading by the following vote: Yeas Golden, Grler, Regan, AIcLean, Wenzel, Robinson, Sweeney, Davles, Schudt, Noone, Hlckey, Battle, Norton, Nealis 14. Nays Thomas, Robathan, Molr, Howe 4. After the vote was counted Air. Robathan turned to Mr. Nealis and said, "I'm through with you. I'm through with any man that would make a ruling like that." On Third Reading. Other ordinances that passed on third reading were for grading of Delaware street between Washington and San dei-son avenues; establishing grade on Lafayette street Trom Alain to Fllmore avenues; for two electric lights In tho Nineteenth ward and one In the Twenty-first; for paving Franklin avenue from Spruce to Mulberry street with vitrified brick. Chairman Davles, of the parks com mittee, presented with a favorable re port a resolution Instructing the park commissioners to report to the councils the result of their labors In regard to securing the Round woods as a public park. The resolution wus adopted. A resolution reported favorable by the police committee directing that two additional policemen be appointed for duty In Nay Aug park was, on motion of Air. McLean, laid on the table. The ordinance introduced, by Air. Regan providing for a scale of wages to bo paid workmen employed by city eon tractors passed first and second rcud lugs. A Difference of Opinion. Mr. Robinson, chairman of the rail ways committee, presented a favorable report on an ordinance allowing the Valley Passenger Railway company to extend its tracks along certain streets on the South Side, central city and West Side and over the Spruce street bridge. . Later it was called up on first reading by Air. Sweeney and Air. Noone asked for Information as to what the status of the Valley Passenger Rail way company Is. "Why," said Air. Sweeney, "I don't know much about this myself, but Mr, Hallstead, Air. Alaloney, Air. Fahey nnd some other city gentlemen are In It and have a charter." Then Mr. Battle took a turn at defln lng. He said the company was the same as the People's or Suburban companies and Mr. Howe was of the opinion that there was no such company, for It had sold out. The ordinance, however, passed two readings without opposl tlon. Mr. AIcLean Introduced a resolution which passed directing the city of ficials to pay the wages claims due the workmen of Contractor John Ferguson on city contracts and deduct the same from the amount coming to him. Want to Put I'p Street Signs. The Scranton Street and Sign Direc tory company asked permission to put Up street names on an advertising de vice and a city directory at each street corner.
