Description
Description
Documents in a court case involving a charge of murder in the death of an unborn child and ultimately her mother, Sarah Grosvenor. She made several attempts at inducing an abortion. Amasa Sessions, the supposed father, reportedly asked Dr. John Hallowell to help administer abortifacients and when that did not work, the Doctor attempted a physical extraction which led to Sarah's death.
