Police probe into death of Hatfield woman blamed on quack doctor
Complaints have been filed with police and health officials after the death of Mrs. Cestalva Melinozky of Hatfield Massachusetts. Her relatives accuse a woman practitioner identified as Mrs. M A Rudka of giving ineffective treatment for tuberculosis for a fee of 350 dollars. The family had her brought to Fairfield and paid 150 dollars with 35 dollars down. The treatment centered on prayers and yielded no relief. Dr J C Lynch was later called in and found the patient near death with tuberculosis. An investigation into the practitioner's legality will be conducted by health authorities once county health officer James A Marr returns.
