DENTIST RUN OUT OF A TOWN
Paoli, Ind., Sides with Girl Against a Doctor
Paoli, Ind., Jan. 4-A sensational scene was enacted here when a young woman
compelled a dentist, under threat of horse-whipping, publicly to read an
offensive letter he had written her and to make an apology to the large
crowd that surrounded him, and finally to promise to leave town. The
incidents were the climax of a few hours of high tension in which bloodshed
was averted only by the action of cooler heads as the dentist defied arrest
for a time and barricaded himself in his office, around which almost every
person in the village swarmed. The man in the case is Dr. C. D. Driscoll.
The young woman is Miss Eva Miller, formerly a resident of Paoli but now
employed as clerk in a store in the hamlet of Saltillo, a few miles north of
Paoli.
