Pierce (1925) - indicted, no trial; Lottie Lowy (1925) - indicted but not tried; Elizabeth Welter (1925) - coroner's verdict, no arrest; Bridget Masterson (1925) - indicted, no trial; Jean Cohen (1925) - coroner's verdict, no conviction; and Mary Moorehead (1926) - indicted but no trial.<ref>[http://homicide.northwestern.edu/ Homicide In Chicago 1870-1930]</ref> Deaths of her patients must have been a common occurrence, since undertaker W. J. Freckleton, sent by one husband to collect the body of his wife for burial, testified that he had complained to Hagenow how difficult it was to get the body down the narrow staircase; Hagenow had replied that her usual undertaker never had any trouble getting bodies out.<ref>236 Ill. 524, 86 N.E. 370, People v.
