DR. MERRITT ON TRIAL.
-------
Easton Physician, After Forfeiting Bail, Returns to Face Charges.
Special to The Washington Post.
Easton, Md., Nov. 26-Dr. James B. Merritt appeared in court here today to answer to the charge of having performed an unlawful operation upon Emerald L. Sothoron, the 18 year-old daughter of Thomas J. Sothoron, of this city. Dr. Merritt's presence was a surprise, for since November 24, 1908, when he was indicted, his whereabouts were unknown to the officers of the law. His bail of $5,000 had been forfeited when he failed to appear at the May term of court.
- Some of the evidence so far seems damaging to Dr. Merritt, especially that of the dead girl's mother, who said on the stand that she saw him perform the operation, and after the removal of the child ordered her to burn the infant.
- Dr. Merritt's case is regarded as most sensational in many respects. He had been practicing medicine here for more than 23 years. The sheriff of Caroline county is here with a warrant for Dr. Merritt on a similar charge. (Washington Post :3, Reported 1909.11.27)
