Mamie Ethel Crowell, age 20, was a telephone operator living on Belmont Avenue in Chicago.
Mamie died on April 14, 1930, possibly in the office of Dr. Hans Paulsen at 4779 Lincoln Avenue, from an abortion performed on her that day. Two days later, Paulsen was booked for manslaughter by abortion.
The father of the baby, Uriah Denniston, was booked as accessory.
Paulson was held by the Coroner for murder by abortion. Denniston wasn't mentioned in the verdict.
On September 1, the indictment was quashed. The source notes "Circumstances suggesting judicial corruption."
