According to the Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database, on July 27, 1920, 38-year-old homemaker Adelaide Fowler died at her Chicago home after a criminal abortion. Dr. Barney Welty was arrested, and indicted by a Grand Jury on August 1 but, for reasons I have been unable to determine, the case never went to trial.
According to census records, Adelaide and her husband, Arthur, had four children: daughters ages 16 and 14, and sons ages 10 and 3.
