PATIENT WAS WELL ON ROAD TO RECOVERY ijNli'lnn Wan DlNclmrKccl , IIoMvcr , li > the Order nf tltc Molltrr unit the Victim Mel Her Dentil from I'erltonltlN. Coroner Trejnor jcaterday morning com pleted thu inquest over Kthel Yates , the joung woman from Tabor , la , who died In this city last Friday night , the victim of ITcr patent's belief In faith healing. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that In Us opinion the death of nthel Yntes was due to neglect , nnd that the "IJrothcr" Jamca mentioned In the ev idence nnd Mrs. P. 11 Yntcs , the mother of the girl , ant responsible for her fate. The witnesses examined yesterday were Dr. Donald Macrae , Jr. , nnd Dr. J. M. Bel linger. Dr. Macrae , who held the autopsy on the remains of the young woman , testified that he found her suffering from appendi citis , with rupture of the sac , which had caused general peritonitis. The pelvic cavl- tlis were Illlod with pus. He elated that In his judgment there would have been every chance to have saved thu girl's life had she been properly treated. Dr. UelllngT testified that ho was called to attend Miss Yntcs on Christmas day and continued to treat her up to January 1 , when ho was discharged from the case by the mother of the young woman. He testi fied that when ho left her she was Improv ing and was qulto bright and cheerful. Ho considered that at that time her condition was most favorable for recovery nnd ho ex pected that she would recover. In answer to a question from ono of the jurors Dr. Bellinger said that he considered absolute rest and quiet essential In sickness of the character from which Miss Yates was suf fering and that the reverto would bo most harmful. At the close of the Inquest Coroner Trcy- nor decided not to issue warrants for the arrest of "Healer" James and Mrs. Yates , but referred the case to the county attorney , ns the grand jury will bo in session today. DcfeiiMc of blliiN JntiiPN. "Rev. " Silas J. James of South Omaha , the healer referred to In the llndlng of the jury , called at The Bee office yesterday to make a statement ns to his connection with the case of the unfortunate girl. Ho ex plained lhat ho Is a leader of the Church of Christ , a sect which accepts divine healing on the authority of the scriptures , that "tho prayer of faith shall heal the sick. " "I was first called to attend the sick girl on New Year's eve , " said Mr. James , "when I. was conducting a watch meeting in Coun cil Bluffs. I only knew her mother slightly and had prevloualy called at the house only n fewtimes. . I did not advise Mrs. Yntes to discharge the phjslclan , ns in my opin ion the principle of divine , healing should never bo thrust on anyone , but only offered au a privilege. "Mrs. Yates wished mo to sit up with her daughter , which I did during two nights. She also asked mo to pray with the flick girl , which I did. I was misrepresented , however , In the statement that I forced Miss Yntes to listen to my prayers. I did not oven pray in her presence , but retired to another room. While I was with her the girl slept well and was apparently improv ing. I did not hear her nsk for a doctor and did not advlso against one being called. I was simply there ns a minister of the gospel and took no responsibility in the cnso whatever. If Mrs. Yates discharged the physician and did not yield to her daughter's pleading , that was done on her own responsibility. " MCKTING OF UUHAIIY TIU'STKnS.
