On January 17, 1912, 38-year-old homemaker Minnie Miller died at Columbus Hospital in Chicago from septicemia caused by an abortion perpetrated on January 2 by Dr. Charles W. Klinetop. Klinetop was identified by Coroner's Verdict on January 26. Minnie's husband Julius is the one who named Klinetop as the guilty party. Minnie herself also identified Klinetop in a deathbed statement.
Klinetop was later implicated in the 1917 abortion death of Edna Lamb and the 1923 abortion death of Lydia Nelson.
He had also been arrested in 1909 when a young woman filed a complaint against him and her in-laws, reporting that they had forced her to undergo an abortion at Klinetop's hands.
