SAY HElRESS is DRUGGED.
Judge Lent VIII Investigate Treatment
of Georgianna Wendell.


of Georgianna Wendell.
New York, Sept. S.-Three times
Judge Smith Lent of Westchester
county has issued orders for the pro-
duction of Miss Georgianna Wendell
and her guardians in court. Three
times the lawyers have deferred his
orders. Finding that his writ was
worthless. since no one paid any at
tention to it. he determined yesterday
to visit the place where Miss Wendell
was secreted. The woman's brother
says she is insane and must be kept
under restraint. Other relatives and
friends declare that she is of sound
mind and is being held a prisoner by
those who wish to get her part of the
$4O,0O0,000 estate left by her mother.
in bitter speech yesterday denounc-
ed those who are holding Miss Wen
dell. II have positive proof" he said,
that this woman is being systemati-
cally poisoned, kicked and cuffed
around and beaten numerically, and
kept in a room where even a breath OF
fresh air is refused her. Your Honor,
| can show you affidavits proving that
DIR. Egbert Guernsy is administering
drugs that are doing her a great deal
of HARM
Judge Lent said that, in company
with Morris S. Thompson. one of the
lawyers for John Wendell, he would
visit Miss Wendell today.

Parsons was very conservative
then" says Mrs. Parsons in talking
over her career. He had the old idea
of religion, and got that out OF him.
About social questions he hadn't
thought at ALL"
They came to Chicago twenty-seven
years ago, and that was the beginning
of the career of Lucy Parsons. Par
sons got place as typesetter
The tide of anarchy in Chicago rose
higher and higher. and with it rode
Parsons and his Indian wife. They
lectured, and wrote. and took part in
all the secret meetings of the Reds.
When the bomb was thrown in Hay
market square and Chicago walked up
to the danger Parsons was one of the
men who was tried and hanged for the
crime. He was one of the Chicago an
archists hanged In the county jail.
while the streets were deserted and
still, shutters fast on houss and
black pail hung over the city, and men
were white and trembling with fear.
From that time to the present Mrs.
Parsons has been growing more bitter
in her denunciation of present condi-
lions. She is a woman with griev-
ance. Her creed is education, agita-
ton, evolution with an occasional rev.
olution thrown in to make things live
ly. She believes in no private owner
ship nor in political government. Her
idea is to divide society into industrial
groups, each of them to manage its
own industry in its own way.
