| Dr. Emil Gleitsmann |
Rosalie's husband, Archer, told police that his wife had told him that Gleitsmann had perpetrated an abortion on her in January. Gleitsmann, of course, denied the allegation.
The string of deaths attributed to Gleitsmann started in 1927 when he was implicated in the November 30 abortion death of 22-year-old homemaker Lucille van Iderstine. Gleitsman was indicted for felony murder in Lucille's death but for reasons I do not yet know why the case never came to fruition.
He was prosecuted but acquitted in the December 12, 1930 death of Jeanette Reder.
After his acquittal for Jeanette's death he was indicted for the February 16, 1931 death of 25-year-old Mathilda Cornelius.
This is where, in the timeline, Rosalie died.
Gleitsmann was convicted three times on a single charge of manslaughter by abortion for the March 25, 1933 death of Mary Colbert, but each time his lawyer got a reversal and eventually the prosecutors gave up.
He was implicated again in the June 8, 1934 death of 26-year-old Elsie Quall.
Gleitsman got in trouble again in 1937 for the death of 16-year-old Phyllis Brown. However, that death was eventually attributed to Dr. C. Harold Edmunds. I have no idea how Gleitsmann was implicated.
At last he was held accountable for his crimes and sentenced to 14 years for the December 10, 1941 death of Marie O'Malley.
