2 Alleged Insanity Were Mixed Up.

CHICAGO. Dec. 16.-A verdict of $500
damages was to-day awarded to Miss An
nette ID. Mnnson In one Of the most roman
tic cases ever tried in Chicago. The suit
was against George w. Little, jr.. and his
brother. father and mother. Miss Munson
and George Little. both OF whom belong to
well-known families. had been sweethearts.
The testimony showed that her affection
cooled, however. 81 the young man grew
more ardent. On the evening of March z.
1891, George and his brother Albert went TO
Annette's house. She was sick and alone,
having sent her BIZ for her old nurse,
'Auntie' Robb. Her father and mother
were in Washington. where the former
in connected with the Government Print
ing Office. Albert remained outside while
George went in. He and Annette had angry
words about their love affairs, and George
started towards the girl. She drew a re.
voiver. and In the scufiie 1t was DISCHARGED.
Then the brother came in. and the two boys
dragged the girl ont into the storm and q
mile over to their own home on Lake ave-
nue.. George then went for Annette's
brother, and the family gave him the
choice of having her put in an asylum or
the Hyde Park police station. The girl
was taken to the Little family physician.
Dr.. Henry Lewis. The latter ~telephoned

Annette was insane, and had suicidal
and hom,cidal tendencies. The girl
was then taken to that ~institu-
tom. where sbe . was incarcerated
for two days and n night. To add TO the
horror of hersituations she was manacIed.
Her mother finally came home and secured
her release. On the part of the defense it
was claimed that the girl was insanely in
love with George, and had threatened to
Kill him and herself. 1t was also claimed
that on the occasion of the bows visit
George refused TO try and love Annette any
more, and thereupon she pied to kill
him. The boys su bsequent actions were
accounted for on the ground of humanity.
They dared not leave her alone, and be-
lieving her insane, TOOK her home, and

courtroom was filled with spectators when
the verdict WAS rendered, but neither the
