Dr. Jacob Hoffman, a prominent gynecologist, told the inquest that Mrs. Silver brought Doris to his office on Aug. 22. He examined the girl and found a “possible pregnancy of about six or seven weeks." On that occasion, and when they returned, Hoffman said Mrs. Sliver “was not happy” and asked: "Can’t you uo anything for her?” Hoffman said he was determined to “preserve the pregancy of that girl,” so on the 24th he gave her a fake “placebo" injection and some hormone pills. He said the hormone pills would have retained her pregancy rather than terminated It. Although the police promised thorough investigation, they said there would be no arrests until there was an iron clad case.
