NURSE MENACED IN HEWITT CASE, LAWYER CLAIMS Received Threats After She Told of Sterilization, Is Charge. ff'i I 'nlrti Prrtt SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 8 Report* that a nurse who attended Mira Ann Cooper Hewitt had been threatened with death and the possibility that police would take a hand in the case today enlivened the girl's story that she was sterilized on ner mother's order. Miss Hewitt, 21, is asking $.590.000 from her mother, two physicians and Mrs. Mary Scally. state health department psychiatrist. The physicians. Drs. Tilton Tillman and Samuel Boyd, admit the operation was performed. Nurses Give Version Miss Hewitt charges the motive was the desire of her often-married mother, Mrs. Maryon Hewitt McCarter. to obtain control of the entire estate left, by her father, Peter Cooper Hewitt, the inventor. The will stated the mother would receive the entire estate should Miss Hewitt die without issue. Russell P. Tyler, Miss Hewitt’s attorney, revealed the nurses, Ann Lindsay. Sarah Bradford and Grace Wilkins, had given him information. George Engler, police inspector, said the case probably will be presented to the grand jury. Found Her to Be Normal Mr. Tyler said thp affidavits provided by three nurses confirmed the nature of the operation and stated they found her a normal woman aid not a "half-wit" or mental deficient. The threats of violence were received by Mrs. Wilkins, Tyler said. Mrs. Wilkins also received a note warning her to remain silent about the operation and signed by Mrs. McCarter. Tyler said. He did not produce the notes. The action is the second taken against Mrs. McCarter by her daughter. The other suit, filed in New Jersey, demands an accounting of funds. Doctor Defends Action Miss Hewitt charges that although she presumably had a monthly income of about SIOOO from the trust fund she received but a few dollars from time to time, was kept a virtual prisoner in luxurious apartments, given little education or formal schooling, and frequently was upbraided by her parent as a moron and an imbecile. Dr. Tillman, family physician and close friend of Mrs. McCarter, declared Ann not only refused to cooperate in various medical examinations. but showed little aptitude during a number of attempts to educate her. He denied Mrs. Hewitt had neglected her and said the sterilization was considered advisable to prevent the girl from becoming involved in "moral difficulties.” Found Girl Normal By f nilrd I’rrx* HACKENSACK. N. J„ Jan. B. Two state psychiatrists found Ann Cooper Hewitt, a normal and healthy child" last November, it was revealed today. Dr. Lawrence A. Collins and Dr. George B. McMurray, both of the New Jersey State Hospital at Greystone Park, examined Miss Hewitt and reported her normal. Attorney HRrold W. Jeffers of Morristown said today.

Black-Draught Good Laxative Black-Draught has been kept on hand for all the family in the home of Mr. W. A. Lemons, of Independence. Va., since twenty years ago. Mr. Lemon writes that he takes it as a laxative in cases of "headache, dull, tired feeling, biliousness.” "And I take it if I feel uncomfortable after a heavy meal." he adds. "I especially use it for sick headache. It certainly is good.” When a man says “Black-Draught is good,” it is probably because he remember* the prompt, refreshing relief it brought in constipation troubles. It* benefits are felt because it is a almple. herb laxative, so natural in composition and action that thousands and thousands of men and women prefer it when & laxative is heeded.--^dva^ttaeacut,

Saving of $15,966,455 in real and personal property taxes this year was effected by protests against budgets set by public officials irt Indiana.

be close to *5.000.000 higher this year than last, but the public can be thankful it will not be asked to produce 8n additional 511.000.000 that its officials tried to get through a multitude of budget requests." Interest taken by Indiana taxpayers in governmental affairs is credited by Mr. Miesse with bringing the reduction. He pointed out that 137 appeals were taken by taxpayers to the State Board of Tax Commissioners because of dissatisfaction with county adjustment board action. In 50 of these appeals. the state board ordered reductions for a total of $819,939. ‘ The first line of defense for the public is the county council." Mr. Miesse said, "and we are happy to announce that in about 50 counties the councils did most of the budget pruning."
