WILLIMANTIC,

Hartford Courant: Mrs. Gertrude Scripture was before the Willimantic po- lice court Friday morning on charge of obtaining goods from Druggist Samuel Chesbro by false pretenses, disclosing a case in which the morphine habit had got so strong a hold on a person that she would commit a crime to obtain the drug. Mrs. Scripture pleaded not guilty. She stated that she had been a victim of the morphine habit for the past five years, that she first began taking it as medicine, under the advice of physician, and that now she had become so confirmed in the habit that 1t was impossible to get along without the stuff. Thursday night she said she had got out of the drug, and, having no money, went to Chesebro's drug store and procured morphine by tell ing him that Mrs. Palmer, matron of the almshouse, would call and pay for it in the morning. She said that her usual dose was five grains twice day, and sometimes she took larger doses. Judge Bowen told her that in his opinion she could get along without it, and, unless she could pay fine of $1O and costs, she would have to go to jail, where she would be compelled to do without 1t. She had no money and was taken to jail. She seemed to be over 60 years of age and 8 very intelligent woman. A number of cases have been reported where she has got the drug from local druggists by hav- ing it charged to other parties whom she an who was sent to the almshouse about three months ago and remained awhile after her time was up. She was found later and arrested.
