The official inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Susannah Lattin, at the alleged private lying-in hospital, No. 6 Amity street, was concluded yesterday by Coroner Rollins. Dr. John C. Harrison, of No. 177 Bleecker street, testified that the deceased first made application to him in April for medical treatment, she was not treated for abortion, and Houghton was persuaded to pay $50. … All the testimony being in, the jury after some deliberation rendered the following verdict: "That Susannah Lattin came to death by metro-peritonitis, the result of child-birth at Dr. H. D. Grindle's establishment, No. 6 Amity Place on the 27th of August 1888. We further censure Dr. Grindle for the irregular method of conducting his business, relative to taking in women to confine, and also to the method of adopting children so delivered. We further recommend the Legislature to so enact a law whereby all such establishments shall be under the supervision of the Board of Health, or any other recognized authority. We further condemn the practice of any regular medical college recognizing students, connected with any such establishments." (English)
