While he was in prison, Whitney was sued by Margaret's husband, John, on behalf of himself and the couple's two children.
Whitney was pardoned in 1918 and regained his medical license only to perform another fatal abortion for which he was sent to prison in 1923. I've been unable to determine the woman's name. He was released from prison again in 1926 and died from a broken leg in 1927.
