On March 29, 1924, 30-year-old
Etta Marcus died at Chicago's Francis Willard Hospital from complications of a criminal abortion performed that day. The coroner concluded that Dr. William J. Wick had performed the fatal abortion at his office. However, on April 10, Wick was acquitted for reasons not disclosed in the source material. Etta's abortion was typical of criminal abortions in that it was attributed to a
physician.
