Sweetland in the Sixth District Court

are we'll connected and they have lived
here for many years, their home being on
Smith street.

money. for they were possessed of delus-
ions that they were Of noble birth and
that all of their relatives were am OF q the
nobility OF Europe. Laboring under this
delusion they were naturally the victims

what they claim Is an autograph letter
from the Prince of Wales, which was
sent TO them by some one either TO crafty
their delusions or who has robbed them
OF their money. The women will not
mention the names of persons who are
not wealthy and they are continually
talking OF the Goddards the Ives, the
Browns and Others in that prominent
and wealthy class. They will not, and
have not for number of years recognized
any Of their relatives. saying that they
are far below them in the social scale
The women are perfectly sane on all other
subjects, and were perfectly sane before
they went TO Uarope. On their arrival
on the other side they had a strong desire
to get into the high society and this so
worked upon their minds that their pres-
ent delusion was the result.
They are now penniless, and will b.
cared for by relative who will have
them treated at the Butler Hospital.
DIR. George A. Brug. who has been the
physician Of the family for many years,
says that there Is but little hope for the
unfortunate women as the delusion Will
result in paralysis Of the brain. Mrs.
Behan is about 54 years cid and her
daughter Is 20. The case is one that
rather mystifles the medical fraternity,
