Charleston, S. c., May s.-There was
something of a sensation caused here to-
dav by the arrest of well-known lady
who is supposed to be insane. The ar
rest was caused at the instance of a
Young physician, who says she has an
moved him by unwelcome attentions. The
Ievesick lady is supposed TO be of unsound
mind. She has a knack of falling in
love with young men, whom she
anuoys very much by sending them
billetdoux, flowers and the
like. She is subject to strange
Authorizations and at times Irresponsible
She has been arrested several times be-
fore for annoying citizens, but the latest
sscapade is of rather startling charac-
ter and brings her once more in contact
with the police. OF late, so the story goes,
a Young physician had been tormented by
the lady. who professed to love the doc
tor and believed he intended to marry
her. She sent him numerous tokens of her
affections, but receiving no response,
she became desperate and threatened his
life. From professional experience he
knew her to be insane, and thought the
hest plan would be to have her arrested.
He called on the chief of police, who
promptly had ner brought in and locked
IN. Later she was sent TO the city hos
nital. where proceedings will be instituted
to INQUIRE into her sanity.
