A Case Of Nlelanch0Iv.

1ne NOOlle Tribune relates this story:
The chief Of police yesterday received
information that a woman had just arrived
| from New Orleans, and had taken IN
quarters in house OF ill-fame at corner of
OF st. Michael and Cedar streets. where
her conduct was such as to give rise to
mlsglvings that she was not entirely of
sound mind. The woman was brou uebt
down to the police station. the citv pbysi-
elan and one or two other medical men
called in, and the following facts were
gathered from her.
She came to this country originally from
Ireland. is about thirty years of age. and
hved at Mendoza, Illinois. where she was
seduced by one j. ID. Mcfarland who. she
says, now lives in Cincinnati. After her
abandonment by Mcfarland. which occur
red very soon, she became the mistress of
one John BabcOck, in Peoria, Illinois. and
so remained for nearly three years, when
ste left him because Of unklnd treatment:
this was nearly four years ago. During the
war she was in the service OF DR.. Mansfield.
OF Memphis, Tennessee
She had sister who was sent to the
lunatic asylum in jacksonville. Illinois. es
capped and was recaptured about five or
SIX years ago. and died in that institution.
She has sister now living in Milwaukee.
WHO is married to a currier and tanner
named Timothy Harrison. She has also a
brother named James Caughln, who owns
tannery at Fond-du-Lac, Wisconsin.
Her name is given as Kate Keeliher. She
imagines herself followed by Babcock's
spirit. who, she says, visits her in the shape
OF blue flame and sulphurous smoke. and.
despite her every effort, she can't rid her
self OF those visitatiOns. In fact she has
once attempted suicide in the depression Of !
spirits from which she suffers. and is firmly !
convinced that death alone can relieve her
of her troubles.
She was sent to the city hospital.
