| The Board of Charities in their efforts to
free the Government Hospital for the In
sane from patients who should be cared
| for in the States to which they belong. re-
| Gently came upon a case which offered
more than the usual difficulties. Mary
| Coleman. in 1890, came to this city from
| Warrenton. Va, and. after being here
few months. became insane, and was COM
mitted to the asylum. She has been de-
tanned there since that time.
In looking up the record of her case 1t
was ascertained that she belonged In War
renton, and that she should by right be
cared for by the State of Virginia. But to
meet the requirements of the law she
could not be committed to the asylum at
Petersburg. except by a Virginia court or
magistrate.
To meet this phase of the law the BOARD
of Charities caused the facts AMI record in
the case to be placed before magistrate
in Alexandria. and n commitment to the
Virginia asylum was issued by him.
The woman will be conveyed to Peters
burg under the care OF ore Of the attend
ants at St Elizabeth's.
Arthur p. Whitney. of 1911 Columbia
