THE 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.
