Newspaper Page TextTHE ATWOODS PORTLAND. Or., Oct. 31. With the avowed determination ot putting every establishment tn Multnomah county where criminal operations are practiced out of business, District At torney Cameron and Chief Deputy Fitzgerald raided the maternity hos pital conducted by Dr. C. H. T. At wood, and his son, Dr. C. H. Atwood, at Treraont station, on the Mount Scott line, closed Its doors to future patronage and placed the two At vooda under arrest. , , r Both physicians were taken to the county Jail by Deputy Sheriffs Kelly and Bulger, where they are being held pending their giving ball In the amount ot $1000 each. The war rants of arrest were Issued by Justice Olson on complaint of Mr. Fitzgerald, whose action was taken on the au thority of section 1930 ot the Oregon codes the public nuisance statute, invoked by former Sheriff Ward tn -closing the Warwick Turf exchange, and more recently in the Lane-Way-inire-Raddlng affair. Consternation prevailed for a short time at the district attorney's office when It was discovered that the sister of a girl who ha been lying 111 at the Atwood institution had gone there since the arrest of the propri etors and taken the sick girl away. It waa afterward discovered, how ever, that this was done not with the purpose ot handicapping the of ficers as regarda their prosecution of the alleged offenders, but because of fear as to the fate ot the sick girl felt by the sister on learning ot the character ot the place. The address of the sister has been procured by the district attorney and the sick girl will be taken tn an am bulance to a local hospital, where she will be given proper treatment at the county'a expense. la tbe complaint It is charged ba the prosecutor that the institution has been conducted In a manner which constituted a menace to tbe public health, was subversive ot pub lic morals and grossly outraged pub lic decency. Attention Is specifically directed to the case of Mabala Rob erts, a young woman now at the North Pacittc sanatorium, where an operation was performed on ber to save her from the consequence of malpractice, ot which In affidavits abe and a woman friend accuse the Atwoods, fatber and son. . Mrs. Lola O. Baldwin has Joined hands with the district attorney in the crusade and la said to have fur nished his office with valuable evi dence tn support of the contentions made In the complaint filed by Mr. Fitzgerald. A special representative was sent to Tremont station by Judge Cameron, who has been Interviewing residents tn the vicinity ot the hos pital with regard to the conduct of the maternity hospital, and Informa tion has been obtained, it is said, which will result In several of them being summoned to tell their stories before the grand Jury. ' ' Upon procuring warrants for the arrest ot the Atwoods, Mr. Fitzgerald summoned Deputy Sheriffs Kelly and Bulger to serve them and City Physician Zlegler and Assistant County Physician McCormack to ac company them to the "maternity hos pital." The physicians were sent as a precaution, the prosecutors desir ing that nothing should be done which might endanger the lives or health of any patienta at the Institu tion. Two representatives of the dis trict attorney'a office accompanied the officers and physicians. They found the building to be a ramshackle two-story frame affair, with floors devoid of paint or oil cloth and rooms bare and devoid of -ordinary conveniences. In charge were Miss May Petty and Agnes Op pel, a 17-year-old girl, whose parents live at Tremont station. Miss Petty has been employed at the "hospital" alnce It was established, three years ago, but Miss Oppel has worked there only two weeks. Three patients were at the place an old woman suffering from a chronic disease; a woman who lately became the mother of twins and a girl about 20 years old the one re moved by her sister. It was learned from the younger nurse that this girl was kept under the Influence of chloroform for two hours last Wed nesday but the attendant said she saw no operation performed. Both the Atwoods reached the in' stltutton after the arrival of the of ficers. They were greatly perturbed by their arrest and the eldtr doctor endeavored several times to prevent the questioning of patients by a rep resentative of the district attorney. Ku managed to slip away from the deputy sheriff serving the warrant on him at one time, but was found on the upper floor, heading for a side entrance to the place. COURTS AND THE COSS CASE. Supreme Court Friday Granted Cer tificate of Probable Cause. a teiecram was received yesterday afternoon by Attorney W. M. Colvlg from his law partner, Clarence l,. ttinr that the Supreme court had granted a certificate ot probable cause In the case of the State vs. H. M. Coss. "This means," said Mr. Colvlg, "that the court nnon a cursory view of tbe record bcllevea that there it a probable cause tor the defendant to appeal to that court from tbe com mitment returned by the Circuit court, i . ' "This has the effect of staying the execution of the sentence until the cause Is heard on Its merits by the Supreme court. The case is now pending In the Supreme court, and the lower court has no Jurisdiction In the matter at present. . 'The certificate granted by the Supreme court also entitles the de fendant to be released on bonds un til his cause Is heard in the Supreme court." This case is now getting to be known all over the state. The Ore gonlan of Portland had an account ot the trouble In, connection with Judge Hanna and ten local attorneys, to which Judge Hanna takes excep tion in a letter to a Salem newspa per. His letter Is as follows; 'Jacksonville, Or., Oct. 36. In the Oregonlan of October 22 there ap pears an article from Salem under the caption, 'Who Is to ' Pay the Costs?' which Is so uncorrect and so unjust to myself that I feel com pelled to solicit space to reply. I copy the following from the article: 'The Supreme court yesterday granted a stay of execution In the oosa case, and Clerk Moreland of the Supreme court notified Sheriff Jonea by wire that this stay had been granted. Sheriff Jones laid the notice before Circuit Judge Hanna, who sentenced Coss, and Judge Hanna ordered the sheriff to disregard the notice and proceed at once to the penitentiary.'. 1 "This statement relative to myself Is absolutely false. On the 24th day ot September H. M. Coss was con victed of statutory rape. The mo tion was then denied and Coss was then sentenced. A motion for stay of execution was asked for by the attorney for the defendant and de nied. Late in the afternoon of Oc tober' 20, while the court waa en gaged in a criminal trial. County Judge J. R. Neil came to me and In a whispered conversation Informed me that the sheriff was ready to start tor Salem with Coss, and that it waa rumored that the Supreme court had ordered a stay of execution nnon the sheriff. I asked blm it the sheriff had received any notification con firming the rumor. He replied be had not. I then told Judge Nell to let him go ahead unless he received some notice from the Suprem ecourt. Immediately after Judge Nell retired, thinking I might have misunderstood him. I took a short recess and went downstairs to Judge Nell's room and found htm and the sheriff there. I then asked the sheriff if he had re ceived any order from the Supreme court and he replied that he had not. I then told him that if he at any time or place received any order from the Supreme court to obey It at once. "I bad no knowledge that the de fendant had made an application for any order In the case and did not at that time believe that any order had been made, as It was not to be pre sumed that any order of that nature would be made by the Supreme court without a certified copy of a bill of exceptions elng presented or at least some certificate from tbe lower court as to the evidence in the case. None had been signed by me. In my furth er ignorance I had taken It for grant ed the court whose duty It was to or der the commitment would be noti fied. "The sheriff left with the prisoner quite late on the afternoon of Octo ber 20. A phone message would have reached tbe lower court or myself al most any hour of that day, and any order received would have been obeyed. ."Today the sheriff served me with a copy ot the order made by the 8u-l-reme court on October 20, showing n stay of execution had been granted it said case. It was the first and only knowledge I had of any order in this matter. ' 'The statement that I ever at any time advised or directed the sheriff or any other person to disregard any order of the Supreme court Is abso lutely and as I believe wilfully false, and I may add that the Circuit Judge who would so advise would be at once removed from the bench.
