Hagenow was arrested, but it is unclear when, since the date of her arrest is noted as being the day prior to Bridget's death. Hagenow was indicted for felony murder by a grand jury on January 5, 1926.
Hagenow was connected to numerous Chicago abortion deaths:
1899: Marie Hecht
1906: Lola Madison
1907: Annie Horvatich
1925: Lottie Lowy, Nina H. Pierce, Jean Cohen, , and Elizabeth Welter
1926: Mary Moorehead
Hagenow was typical of criminal abortionists in that she was a doctor.

Christina, some months past you made a comment (I think to Rupert) which stuck with me, somewhat disparaging creationism. You said something about how creationists found it difficult to explain dinosaurs. I let it slide because I didn't want to get into a discussion on it at the time, but still remember it. If you would, I'd like for you to watch Dragons or Dinosaurs which is less than 90 minutes long, and is available to watch on Netflix instantly. Thanks!
