| Doris Alexander | |
Some time in 1938, 30-year-old Mrs. Doris Alexander died from an illegal abortion. Dr. Clinton E. May, who had also crossed paths with the law when he harbored John Dillinger, was booked for murder in Doris' death. A nurse-assistant was sought by the police, and a man named Frances Zofell, age 48, was held as an accessory. Mrs. Alexander's abortion was typical of pre-legalization abortions in that it was performed by a physician.
