Corrected by Affidavit

Dr. Fraser further alleges that friend of Mrs. Slingsby called upon him and offered him 8100 to sign draft affidavit which said that he had attended Mrs. Slingsby at 1,552 McAllister Street on September. 1 and that she gave birth to a son there on that day, but this he refused to do.

The alleged false certificate of birth made it appear that the place of birth was 1,552 McAllister Street, an address which appeared to have been type-written over an erasure. The document bore rubber stamp "corrected by affidavit," and was signed by Dorothy Slingsby and George Herman. After investigation by the State Department, the certificate was altered to the effect that the child in question was born at 960 Grant Avenue, the office of Dr. Fraser, and was the son of Paul Calvin and Lilian Anderson.

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
