Julia Fortmeyer

Julia Fortmeyer was a 19th-century abortionst from St. Louis, Missouri, who was convicted of manslaughter in 1875 and sentenced to 10 years in prison, and served seven.[1][2]

Author L.U. Reavis later recounted that prosecutor Colonel Normile had unsuccessfully sought to prove that Fortmeyer had burned a baby alive. During the trial, Normile argued for both murder in the first degree or manslaughter in the second.[3] A transcript of the trial was published in 1875 by Barclay & Company of Philadelphia. [4]

In 1899, a St Louis newspaper compared Fortmeyer to another abortionist, Henrietta Bamberger, who had been arrested under similar circumstances. The paper reported that Fortmeyer had "killed infants and burned their bodies in a cook stove."[5][6]
