| MOST PATHETIC CASE
Verdict of the Jury Deter
mines Miss HermeS Insane.
NERVES ARE FRUSTRATED
Laughs and Cries Like a
Child in Her Madness.

Miss Anna Harms was found insane by
a jury in the probate court yesterday
forenoon. Miss Harms is a good looking
refined appearing young woman. She Is
the daughter of Rev. J. F. Harms, Men
MONTE minister and editor of the church
paper for his denomination, published al
Marion Kan. Rev. Harms has done what
he could for his unfortunate child. They
came from Minnesota and have lived in
Kansas for fourteen years. The daughter
has been an industrious girl, is type
setter by trade and worked in her fathers
printing office. For some time she has
been hypochondriacal and victim of
Frustrated nerves. She had been growing
worse for several months and her father
sent her to the St. Francis hospital for
treatment five weeks ago. Instead of i'm
proving she steadily got worse and for
three weeks she has been guarded in a
room at the hospital Her insanity is not
of the vicious or dangerous sort, but
rather of the kind calling for sympathy.
Miss Harms is a single woman, harm
less madwoman. The form of her malady
touches the hearts of all feeling persons.

burden of sorrow. From weeping she
may rally and go to the extreme of hys-

of reason comes to her and for the time
she seems clothed in her right mind.
Again she lapses into her moods of melan-
choly.
VIII she ever recover? This is conjee-
ture At this time she is mad; she is in

ARE SMALL COINClDENTS
Strange Developments in Which
Wichita Is Interested.

II
There is being preserved in the newspa-
per offices of southern Kansas and Okla
bona Sunday copy of New York paper,
which is the ne plus ultra of yellow jour
nalism.
It is an account Of trial of Mrs john
sion at Pond Creek. o. T, trial of some
moment. Otto Eckstein of this city is de-
tending the woman, who is charged with
poisoning her husband. In all Mrs John-
ston has had six husbands, and. If she is
found guilty in the present instance she
viii carry the suspicion that the five pre-
ceding men went the same route.
Taking it all in all, it is an exciting
story, of deep interest. and the New YORK
paper apparently wanted complete &C
count of it. with portraits of the six nus
bands and Mrs Johnston, and the story of
each ones life.
The paper in question pays well for its
matter and apparently cares nothing what
ever for authenticity.
To whom they sent is a mystery, but the
article which they received was evidently
the collaboration OF someone in Guthrie
and someone in Wichita
graphical form in the New York paner,
with a cut of Mrs. Johnston. the accused,
in the center Of the page, fanked on either
side by three husbands.
Close inspection of the Illustrations re-
veals a startling thing. however. Husband
No. l. dead long ago. is a prominent at
torney at Shawnee, O. T.; dead husband
No. is an attorney at Guthrie; dead nus
bands Nos. g. and are Oklahoma legis-
lators Of prominence, all alive and kicking
at date. Husband No. 6 is photograph of
a late politician in Oklahoma.
But that isn't all. Husband No. figures
in the story as Flavius Green, a name
which sounds strangely familiar to Wich-
tia Another dead husband is named in the
article as H b. Church. Fortunately this
street railway enterprises. Other Wichita
names figure in the article. 1t is a little
bit singular that Mrs. Johnston should
marry only men who had namesakes in
Wichita and whose husbands all have
counterfeits among the prominent men of
oklahoma
There are some people who are unkind
enough to hint that Mrs. Johnston never
did anything of the kind.
There is doubt. too, that the picture of
Mrs. Johnston printed is Mrs. Johnston at
all. She may be prominent society lady,
either of Wichita or Guthrie. in which case
there is liable to be a libel suit
