Insane Woman Asks That She Be
Sworn on RraSS Cr11cifix

The release of Frances Suchinski from
the Ukiah Asylum for the Insane on the
ground that she had recovered her mental
balance was a little premature. Up to
few months ago the unfortunate woman
lived at 4213 Eighteenth street. She sold
the property and Leon Czarnecld went to
live In the house. Mrs. Suchinski began
to annoy the people living in her old home
and finally she was arrested and sent to
the asylum mentioned, as she was clearly
insane. A few weeks ago some friends
of the unfortunate woman secured a writ
Of habeas corpus for her release, and on
the showing made by them the court
granted the writ. Last Friday, however,
the insane woman invaded her old home
and. armed with a saw, made vicious
attack on Mrs. Leonore CZarneCkt A
policeman was summoned and the scream
ing woman was taken to prison. Yester

that guardian of the peace had more
things to attend to in the line OF MS
official duties than appeared on the SUI
face, when good-looking young
woman, pushing a baby carriage, IN
which was seated an infant OF perhaps
eight CT ten months, approached him.
would you mind seeing that no one
bothers the baby while l run up to the
station?" she asked.
The officers face took on a stern ex-
preston.
What do you want to go up to the
station for?" he questioned severely.

"Oh, no. was the reply, I just want
a time table"
"Humph," responded the bluecoat,
"Ill go up and get the time table Tor
you Just wait and see that no one
bothers the baby yourself
But the young woman was halfway
up the steps by this time and there
was nothing for the policeman to 90
but stand by the baby carriage untl
she returned. She was gone a little
longer, apparently, than she should
have been just to obtain time table,
and the officers evident anxiety IN
creased with each passing moment.
Finally, however, she came tripping
Thank you, very much" she exc
claimed sweetly to the policeman, pre-
pairing to push the baby carriage up
the street. Il suppose you were afraid
that I was going to- get aboard train
and leave the baby on your hands,
weren't your.
The bluecoat muttered something to
the effect that he never had any such
thought, and the young woman de-
parted.
"She was right, though, in thinking
that you were afraid She was going to
desert the infant said. Come, now,
own up. Wasn't she?'
The policeman grinned an expansive
grin.
"Wen,'' he finally answered. there is
