Last night Dr. Howard Kelley of Baltimore, was called here to consult with her local physicians, Drs. A. Leo Franklin, James T. Johnson, W. W. Wiley, C. L. Owens. It was deemed unwise to operate. This afternoon late it was stated that Miss Mertens was no better and that her condition was most critical. She is a sister of Mr. Frederick Mertens of Washington, D. C., who is at her bedside and of Messrs. John, Henry and William Mertens of this city. Dr. Kelly returned to Baltimore this morning."
