Trial Begun in Murder Case Against Herman and Tompkins
Special to The Washington Post reports the State charges F Wilam Herman and Dr John W Tompkins, both of Cumberland, with causing the death of Miss Jeanny Maxwell by an illegal operation. Opening statements claim the operation occurred in May and Maxwell warned of death, with Herman saying he must meet death by his own action. Defense argues Maxwell planned the engagement and that the death arose from a disease, while Tompkins is defended as a physician with many respected patients unaware of the operation. The prosecution plans to call physicians and other witnesses to prove an operation was performed at Herman's direction and Maxwell died as a result.
