HISTORY
In October 1945 -Mrs. Joyce Bertha Cody (23) died after an abortion, allegedly given by Mrs. Alice May Pengel (40), of Duke Street, East Fremantle, and Mrs. Irene Gladys Ferrier (36), of 79 King Street. Pengel and Ferrier were charged with having murdered Joyce Bertha Cody. They were finally charged with manslaughter.
Mrs Cody’s mother Mrs Bertha Olga Barrett, of Sewell Street, East Fremantle, said that her daughter had been residing with her. She had one child. On September 13 Mrs. Cody said: "I am in trouble". Next day Mrs. Cody told her that she had made arrangements to see a certain woman at a certain address. She said that she was going there to have a miscarriage. "I did not approve and told her so," Mrs. Barrett said. "My daughter went away and came back about ten minutes later, when she said, 'Well, I am to be there at 3 o'clock.' I told her I would call for her about 3.15. "She left home about 3 p.m. on September 14. About 20 minutes later Mrs. Pengel came to my house and said: 'My God, your girl's fainted, come quick.' On arrival at 79 King Street they went into a house together and Mrs. Barrett said she saw her daughter lying on the floor. Dr Walters arrived and after an examination of Mrs. Cody said to Mrs. Barrett: "I have some grave news; your daughter has gone.” (reference)
