July 16, 1913: Never Followed Through on Prosecution in Chicago

On July 16, 1913, 24-year-old Catherine Madelopodo (misidentified as Catherine Sartelopoulos in the Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database) died in Chicago, at the scene of an abortion reportedly perpetrated that day by Dr. Paul Ackerman. 

Ackerman was arrested and held by the Coroner for murder on August 8. 

Spiros Glambedakos was arrested as an accessory. Dr. Jacques Moses was also arrested in connection with the case. 

Ackerman was indicted by a Grand Jury on August 15, but the case never went to trial.
