Doctors Charged COXWHL’rB wrote FAGE ONE eluding his brother, Dr. C. S. Clark, Dr. J. M Miller and Dr. P. B. Thomas, held an autopsy at the same time. The abdominal organs were removed and a thorough examination made, revealing evidence of an operation of a criminal nature. According to their finding Mrs. Marhenke had bled to death from the hemorrhages caused by the operation and that her death was also caused by the complication of septic poisoning. A return was then made to this city by the officers at 3 o’clock and upon information furnished them through , the inquest evidence Sheriff Durkin

1 Smade the affidavit against one of the ’ physicians and Deputy Sheriff Kelley ' against the other. These were filed with Clerk Ferdinand Rleeke in the circuit court and warrants ordered issued at once by Judge Merryman, who I fixed the bond in each case at $3,000. The charge against C. M. Gobeen fe that on February 4, 1913, he ( an abortion on the aforesaid Winnie ,i Marhenke by the use of certain instrui ments to produce a miscarriage, which occurred March 2 and in consequence of which she died March 5. The affidavit against Thain is similar, extent February 25 is named as the date of the operation performed by him. Tho evidence was eecured very easily yesterday afternoon as the husband, Martin Marhenke, and others closely connected with the family, were very free in giving what they mew of the matter to the officials. Mr. Marhenke insisted that his wife was adverse to having any giore children and strongly objected to becoming a mother. It is said that last October a babe was born to them, which was very weakly, the babe dying after lingering a week and a half or so during Qld Home week. When Mrs. Marhenke soon found herself in a delicate condition again, she insisted on going to the Fort Wayne physician. Her husband stated that he objected and tried to prevent her doing so, but she was determined to go anyhow and very plainly said she would. It is said that she was accompanied to Fort WayUe on these occasions by a woman friend from Decatur whose name the officers wish withheld. It is said that she first went to Goheen's office February 4, where, according to Marhenke, and the woman who accompanied her, the physician performed the operation at her request. He received fifteen dollars for it. The operation was not effective and on her next visit to Fort Wayne, she changed doctors, going to Dr. Thain, who for the same fee of sls, performed a similar operation. A second visit to Dr. Thain February 25, it is said, was necessary. It is said that last Saturday she was also at Fort Wayne, returning home . at 5:30 o’clock in the evening. Sunday afternoon, March 2, she became very 111, and it is said that Mr. Mar- , henke went to ask Fort Wayne physicians to care for her as they had taken the case from the first. He said he went to Thain, who refused to do so, and sent a little medicina along, telling him to go and get a local physician, that he couldn't bother with it. When he returnee home Sunday evening her condition became very alarming. A physician from Decatur was called, about 7 o’clock, the Decatur physician going out at 8 o’clock. He says he was informed by Mrs. MarI henke that she had been having a sore throat and that was what caused the bringing on of the complication. The Decatur physician who thereupon took up the case, said he was not informed that the physicians in Ft. Wayne had been attending her. In answer to his inquiries as to the prior treatment, he states that he was told that she had used about everything that people had told her to. He found her condition very critical, with severe vomiting and purging that continued until the time of her death. It is said that her suffering was very intense, and that at times it was necessary for two or three people to hold her in bed. At times of very intense suffering, it is said she begged for chloroform or anything that she might take to ease her sufferings, and it was necessary to give her opiates to quiet her. The Decatur physician who attended her stated that he thought the inflamed condition of the stomach and intestines was due more to some kind of medicine that she took before his arrival there, than it was to anything else. He found her condition was bad and at once informed the family that there was very little hope for her recovery. Mr. Marhenke seemed very much concorned over her illness aud was griefstricken. She would Lave been twenty-five years of age next June 2, and leaves wo children. The eldest is a daughter Merle, aged six years, and a son, Robert, aged nearly three.

, It has been learned that once after I visiting Fort Wayne, Mrs. Marhenke , applied there to a former Decatur ac- . quaintance for the loan of ten dollars, , not having sufficient money to meet the requirements of the Fort Wayne , physician. I Funeral Held Today. , The little home in Monmouth, where the funeral was held tb.s morning at , 10 o'clock, was one 01 the saddest scenes ever witnessed in the little . town. A large throng attended the services, and there was not nearly enough room in the home to accommodate them. The Rev. A. K. Mumma, of Hoagland, pastor of the Concord Lutheran church, officiated, and the body was laid to rest in the Monmouth cemetery. The deceased was well and favorably known and as all her girlhood was spent In the town where she was born, she had many acquaintances. She was Miss Winnie Watts prior to her marriage, and was a student in the Decatur high school. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. James Watts of Monmouth and she comes from a family that is very highly esteemed. A sad feature Is that the little three-year-old babe, Robert, is in a helpless condition, suffering from a sort of spinal trouble, or softening of the bones. Mr. Marhenke, the bereaved husband, Is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Marhenke, of this city. H& was born and reared in Root township. Have Cheerful Company. When brought here Thursday evening, there were not enough beds in the men s department on the lower floor of the jail, so one doctor was taken upstairs to the woman's department which has been unused for some time. This morning both were placed behind the bars on the lower floor. Thain ns~ pecially is aristocratic in appearance, and the Fort Wayne physicians will evidently not find their rough comrades to their lilaing. Many of the prisoners are Erie double track workmen, and spend much of their time in singing. Dr. Thain Known Here. Dr. Thain is well known to Decatur people, as he conducted a branch business in this city as an eye specialist. He came here at intervals of two weeks, for three or four years, up until about two years or so ago. During his visits here, he put up at the Park Hotel and Murray House, and became quite well known. v WILSON AND MARSHALL. Suggested As Names For Twin Sone ; Os Ed Marhenke. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Marhenke residing on the John Houk farm north of this city, are the parents of fine twin boys. Mr. Koenemann suggests that the boys be named Wilson and Marshall in honor of the new president and his vice. A Washington dispatch says: “News of the arrival of half a dozen Woodrow Wilson inauguration babies was received by the president in letters and telegrams informing him that these new citizen, born on March 4, had been named after him. Heretofore Wilson has replied personally to all of the baby letters and it was expected that he would continue this practice. The president s mail is enormous. —o BUILDING IT ON PAPER. At Portland, it is understood, for some reason, that the Richmond, Portland and Fort Wayne Railroad company, which was recently incorporated with a capital stock of SIOO,OOO, will take over the holdings of the Fort; Wayne & Springfield Railway company, owning the line now* in operation between Fort Wayne and Decatur and that this line which is now being operated by a receiver, will be extended south. Decatur traction men still maintain that they know nothing of the above action. TAKES A POSITION.
