Fifteen Physicians Eefused Babe Life Testimony Before Coroner's Jury rn- Quiring into Death of Deformed Child " Shows Support for Sr. Halselden. Chicago, Nov. 19. (U. P.) Fifteen physicians, whom Dr. Halselden called tn consultation on Baby Bollinger, de formed mite, sentenced to die without aftirirical aid, refused to perform an operation, Halselden 'swore before th Coroner's jury this afternoon. Haifiel den himself decreed It was better for the child to die, than grow Up a mental ejnd perhaps a moral defective. VMTwo hours before the baby died, one of these ashed me to permit him to operate on the child." Halselden then testified. "As the child was dying, I refused. "It is against my ethics to op erate on a dying person." , The coroner's IJury of six eminent medical ane surf leal men pondered to day over the death of Mrs. Anna Bol lngefe baby. Their verdict was expected this , afternoon. It was believed that the Jury not only would exonerate Dr. Haiseldt i for his decision not to oper ate and thus possibly prolong the child's life, but woula commend him lor his course. Tts verdict to the cor ener probably means an end to the Case, though not certainly. ? Further Investigation has developed that the child was even more defective than at first revealed. ' Baby Bollinger, dressed in dainty - clothes made In anticipation of Its birth, was placed in a little casket ' today and burled in a vault. The cas ket was carried to the cemetery In the ante carriage with the father and a few relatives.

Two very crestfallen guards, who nad been delegated by Warden Mor gan of Leavenworth peniffintiary, to bring Charles P. Mack to Portland, ar rived this morning. They are Louis Young and S. B. Wig gins, both veteran penitentiary guards, chosen by the warden because of their fitness to handle so desperate a char acter as Mack. Mack was being brought to Portland to stand trial with two accomplices for roobing postofflce station A in Portland last February. vHe escaped from the guards Wednesday night ehortly after the train pulled out of I Sandpolnt, Idaho, by Jumping from the ' Xxr i n H n tit rtf ( i. fnllat Guard Toung says that Mack's feet were shackled and his hands free, and the train moving about 25 or 30 miles an hour. Xieaps Out of Window. "We had a stateroom." he said, "with a toilet connected. I had gone out to see the conductor about making con nections at Spokane, Wiggins staying with Mack. Mack said he wished to go to the toilet. Wiggine allowed him to enter, and Mack slammed the door In his face and locked It I returned very quickly. .WMSKins was rattling the door of '.he toilet. I threw open the window of the stateroom, looked out, and saw the toilet window was open; "I knew Mack was gone, and gave the signal to stop the train. It ran back and we looked along the track where he might have landed, but found no sign of him." The time was 9:80 p. m. by Young's watch, set to Leavenworth time, so It was 7:30, Pacific time, when Mack es caped. Mack and Wiggins walked back to Sandpolnt, sent a telegram to Warden Morgan at Leavenworth, got the sher iff and made a tour of the bills, but found no feign of Mack. Guard Arrive in Portland, They took a train at 3:30 a. m., hav ing continued the search until 2:30, and came on to Portland. Just why they did not remain and continue the search is a puzzle to fed eral officials who have charge of thi case of Mack, Bruce Granville and J. C. Donville, who were to have been tried next week for the station A rob bery. There was snow, and it is argued that Mack with his shackles would have made a heavy trail. He had ni hat nor overcoat. The regulation government offer tf a reward of 860 for the capture of es caped prisoners was made by Guard Young. Assistant District Attorney Johnsoa and Postofflce Inspectors Perkins and Morse were" in conference with the guards this morning. Mr. Johnson has telegraphed Chief Inspector Reddlford at Spokane to .put all the men possible on the case. Just before Mack escaped the train had crossed a long trestle over Lake Pend tfOreille, and the theory is ad vanced that Mack may have jumped in the lake and drowned. Mr. Johnson takes no stock in this theory, as he believes from question ing the guards that the train must have been at least 600 feet beyond the trestle when Mack Jumped. It has not been decided whether to proceed with the trial of Granville and Donville without Mack, who was serv ing flvp years at Leavenworth for try ing to pass one of the money orders that were stolen from station A. It is understood that Donville till plead guilty and tell what he knows of the. gang's operations. the new members, who have Joined the order recently.
