July 19, 1925: A Lay Abortionist?

Very little is on record about the death of 17-year-old Gertrude Wynants of Ossining, New York.

Gertrude died on July 19, 1925, of a criminal abortion.

Mrs. Margaret Shott Higgens of Central Avenue in White Plains, age 23, 25, or 27, was indicted for manslaughter in Gertrude's death.
