OUT OFHERM|NOANO CLOTHES
An Insane Woman's Prank
Shocked Policeman Lawton.
Where She Came From and Who She
IL Are Mysteries.

Cp to last night about all that Polict.
man John ]. Lawton. OF the Madison
street station. knew OF living pictures"
was what he had gathered from the
accounts in the newspapers. 1t Is diff
ferent now.
Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning,
while patrolllng his post, Policeman
l.awton was startled to see a woman
standing on the sidewalk. near the cor
ner OF Market and Madison streets. en-
tirely nude. Her hair was undone and
hung loosely about her shoulders.
The policeman approached and asked
her where she lived and what she was
doing there In that condition. The
woman looked at the policeman and
smiled. but made no reply.
Policeman Lawton took on his coat
and threw II around her. At the same
time Policemen siooney hnu Naneiy
came to the assistance OF their brother
officer.
From Catherine street to the Madison
street station is a long way. The woman
had remained quiet as long az she stood
still. but when the three policemen tried
to urge her along. and the crowd which
mad been greatly augmented set up an
other howl. the unfortunate woman We
She struggled. kicked. fought and hit.
until finally she lay on her back
and refused to move another inch. but
policemen are strong and the woman
was not very heavy. Halt an hour later
an, WIS carried into the station -leDuse
and stood before Scrgt. King. b most
y, ,an.. ioJn.,e piL,,uCr.
Now that the light was such that the
| woman could be seen II was evident that
| she was a person OF refinement and of
| apparent responsibility.
| The Sergeant tried 10 be severe, but II
didn't do any good, and the woman would
not talk. Then he coaxed. and she said her
| name was Alice Scott. That was all
not another word did he get out OF her.
When the ambulance from Gouverneur
Hospital arrived Alice was taken there.
They only kept her an hour. and then
sent her TO bellevue. BY this. time she
was 80 violent that the physicians were
compelled to strap her to the bottom OF
| the ambulance.
The police hunted vainly during the
remainder OF the night for some trace
| OF the woman's home.
| When an Evening World" reporter
| called at the house this morning II was
stated that Or. Douglass. the chief OF
the insane ward. had not made an In
vestigat ton into the woman's case. and
until that was done no additional infor.
nation could be given.
| The woman Ia described as being
about thirty-fye years, with dark hair
| eyes and complexion.
| The police were unable to md any
OF her clothing on the street neal
where she was found, and II 10 thought
that she lives In the neighborhood and
left her home In the nude condition tr
| which she was found.
