Lola had been abandoned by her husband, Walter, just days after their marriage in July of 1925. At the time of her death Lola had a three-year-old daughter.
Midwife Mary Murawski, age 44, was arrested and charged with perpetrating the fatal abortion. She was released on $3,000 bond.
There is no further new coverage of the case. Since Mrs. Murawski was still living and practicing midwifery in Rockford in the succeeding years.
