THE CORNER CASE

From the August 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Little or nothing has been published in this Journal about the case of Mrs. Corner, of West Medford, a member of the Christian Scientist Association. The case, in brief, was this.

Mrs. Corner's daughter, Mrs. James, residing in the same house with Mrs. Corner, died in the spring, an hour after giving birth to her fifth child, doubtless stillborn. A homœopathic physician was called, but arrived too late for service. Mrs. Corner was arrested, put under bonds for five-thousand dollars, tried in the local court, and bound over to the Superior Court. The Grand Jury however found no bill against her, and Mrs. Corner was discharged from custody. As a matter of fact, Christian Science had nothing to do with the case, as the published legal statements show.
