 FLINT. Mich, April 23.-Amanda Wellington, the woman who was found yesterday morning lying across the rail road track, bound and gagged and in an unconscious condition, and who was later arrested on the charge of mailing letters to business men in the city, is now playing the insanity racket. She is very violent and when spoken to on any subject, raves like wild woman. Her valises were searched to-day and several pieces of silks, satins and other goods which are all unmade, were found There is a strong suspicion that the woman did not buy these things. The police are diligently at work on the case case, but have thus far been unable to locate her former scenes of operation or to account for the manner in which she was found yesterday. They, how ever, are of the opinion that the woman had been working her schemes upon some persons whom she expected to ar rive on the late train that night, and who requested her to meet them at the depot, where they bound and gagged her and threw her into the coal yard fol revenge.
