On March 12, 1928, 24-year-old Julia Agoston died at St. Elizabeth's Hospital of complications of a criminal abortion that had been performed February 4 in her Chicago home.
On March 31, Dr. Anton Feher, Dr. Helen Moskowitz, Susie Kosmos, and Manhart Agoston were held by the coroner. The physicians were held as principals. The two laypersons were held as accessories. Moskowitz was indicted for felony murder on November 23.
Julia's abortion was typical of illegal abortions in that it was performed by a physician.
