Mrs. Sarah r. Guzman, who was TAX
en- off the train insane last Saturday,
whilst coming from San Francisco, was
examined yesterday in the county jail
because of her violent condition which
prevented her being brought into the
courtroom, and ordered sent TO the Napa
insane asylum by Judge Brunson. she
labors under the hallucination that eV
erybody wishes to poison her and tha'
everything surrounding her is covered
with poisonous drugs. Mrs. Guzman
became deranged through the e''h
this fall of her husband, gentleman
who owned landed estates in Central
America, ou, of which it is claimed that
the widow has been defrauded. This
lady, who is about IS years of age, and
who was very intellectual and well IN

Weed at the request of the people of the
house, because of her insane actions. |
She was examined yesterday afternoon
before Judge Brunson in the Superior
Court. She is under the impression |
that she is being prosecuted owing to her
religion. She admitted that she had |
been previously examined in San Fran
cisco for insanity. The examiners con.
sidered Miss Deviny rather excentric,
but not sufficiently so to make her COM
mitment to the asylum necessary. She
was discharged.
