Judge Lindsey made the statement
that it was his belief that 1,000 il
legal operations were performed in
Denver annually in a letter mailed
today to the grand jury. He also
made public his intention to refuse to
violate confidences placed in him by
women and girls who have gone to
him with their troubles. He has
been subpoenaed to appear before the
grand jury.
Just what procedure may be under
taken as a result of the judge’s re
fusual to tell all he knows, was not
stated by District Attorney Van Cise,
although he intimated that final
action would/be taken.
•'I shall meet conditions as they
arise” was the only comment Van
Cise would make. “However, if a
man makes a statement to the press,
as Judge Lindsay has done in which
he. said that illegal operations have
cut Denver’s birthrate in h^lf, then
I shall do my duty toward finding
out just what this man knows.
“He has been subpoenaed to appear
before the grand jury." the district
attorney continued. “If he does not
come, then T shall be compelled to
meet the emergency.”
