OTTUMwA, Ia, Aug. 31.-The people
of Libertyville and vicinity were .hor-
ror-stricken to-day to learn how near
they came to sending the lives Of three
innocent young men into eternity Fri
day. A physician's examination and
equentinyestigatio developed the
fact that no horrible crime, as charged,
had been committed or attempted on
the person Of Nellie Warner. The
articles alleged to have been stolen
have also been found.
The arrest by posse, imprisonment
in Jail and subsequent narrow escape
from violence at the hands of excited
citizens Of Wilbur Smith, Charles Har-
ris and Ralph Duncan, three young
men OF excellent character, resulted
from girls hallucination. Insanity
is hereditary In the Warner fam
lily. One brother Of Miss War
ner has been In the insane
asylum twice. About n year
ago Miss Warner had an attack of de-
mentia, and imagined that crime had
been attempted similar to the ono
charged in this instance. II Is sup
posed that she saw the young men stop
In front Of the house, as they admit
they did, and became impressed with
the hallucination which caused her to
tell the story which nearly cost three
innocent lives. The people now de-
mand that the girl be sent TO the in
sane hospital.
