Mrs. E. Fl. Garside, of Lancaster,
was adjudged insane in Judge Car
ter's court Wednesday morning and
was taken to Mendoza Thursday.
The family noticed symptoms of in
sanity Tuesday evening; her mania
seems to have resulted from undue
interest in the prize story for women,
entitled "Sons and Fathers now
running in the Chicago Record. She
became SO absorbed in the mystery
of the story that she could think of
nothing else.
On April 18th Mrs. Bell, for cruelty
to her grandchildren was sentenced
TO life Imprisonment. The charges
against her We're that she had pun
ished the two children, boy Of II
and a girl Of X, with the most fiend-
ish fortunes which malignant in
genuity could devise at Ottawa.
Stripping them to the thinnest cloth
ing, she would soak in water and
Their compel them to sit before open
windows when the temperature was
several degrees below zero until
their attire was frozen stiff. On one
occasion the boy was kept at work in
the cold improperly clad until his
toes We're frozen and dropped OIL.
Their food was mixed with Goxious
fluids like kerosene, turpentine and
worse. When brought into court
both children showed conclusively
the effects physically and mentally
Of the agonies they had suffered.
The only defense offered was that
Mrs. Bell inflicted only such pun
ishment as a parent or guardian had
alright to do.
