PROMISES TO TRY AND LIVE
Of Insanity Decide that
Woman is Not Insane
MAKES THREE ATTEMPTS TO KILL HERSELF
over Being Held on
Chicken Stealing Charge and Ina-
biIIty to Secure Amount
of Bail Asked.

Following the third unsuccessful attempt
of Mrs Lizzie Thordsen, an inmate Of the
county Jail, to end her life, Jailer Martin
decided yesterday that the woman was a
fit subject for examination by the commits
sioners on insanity and accordingly filed
an information against her. At the hear
ing the board decided that the woman was
not a fit subject to be committed to the
insane asylum and ordered her discharged
on her promising to refrain from attempt
ing to take her life. She was accordingly
taken back to her cell in the county jail
Mrs. Thordsen is awaiting trial on a
charge Of being implicated in a number of
chicken thefts for which her husband,
John Thordsen, is now serving a two
years sentence in the penitentiary at Fort
Madison. Thordsen attributed his career
of thievery to the bad influence of his
wife. Mrs. Thordsen was tried on one
charge after being brought back from
Cherokee Ia, but the jury acquitted her.
Assistant Attorney Hess, however. decided
to try her on another charge in connection
with the same alleged robbery and she
was recommitted to the county Jail.
On her acquittal Mrs. Thordsen expected
she would be allowed to go to the home of
her father, where her young son is. and
the county authorities intended to place
her on trial again. Her bail had been
placed at $500 and her father was able to
furnish bond for $500, but the authorities
declined to reduce the amount. The failure
to secure bail added to her dependency.
Some weeks ago while in a At of de-
spondency she attempted to end her life
by turning on the gas in her cell. but she
failed, although as a result she became
seriously sick and was unable to leave her
bed for over a week. A week or so after
she was able tc leave her bed she at
tempted to hang herself by tying a pair
of shoe laces around her neck and attach
ing the ends to one of the bars of her cell.
A female prisoner occupying the same
ward notified Jailer Martin and Mrs.
Thordsen was cut down.
Yesterday morning she made another at
tempt to hang herself with a piece of rib
bon, but the ribbon was not sufficiently
strong to support her weight. This third
attempt to take her life decided Jailer
Martin that the woman was evidently
mentally deranged and he had her taken
before the commissioners.
Mrs. Thordsen ever since her arrest has
been seriously i'll, suffering from a disease
needing careful treatment, and Jailer Mar
tin stated yesterday that the proper place
| for the unfortunate woman was In the
, hospital and not in JAIL where she cannot
receive the treatment she should. n-,
It was said yesterday that number OF
charitable women who have interested
1 themselves in Mrs Thordsen's case will
use their efforts to either secure her dis
| charge or release on decreased bail.

GRADUATION AT ST. FRANCIS
Exercises of Unusual Interest At
tract Large Number of
People.

The thirty-second annual commencement
exercises OF ST. Francis academy last night
were witnessed by a gathering OF the
friends of the institution and graduates
which packed the handsome new audi
torium to the doors. The commencement
exercises at 81. Francis academy have al
ways been noted for the excellence and
many pretty features of the program and
those last night were no exception to the
rule.
The theme Of the program was "The
Holy Grail" the legend of which was
effectively told by Miss Elizabeth Shea,
while Miss Anna stapleton told Of the
spiritual significance OF the legend. Miss
Mary Dun had THE Individual Quest" as
her part and Miss Phoebe Zessin that of
mo Mans Quest is Unto Himself Alone;"
Loyalty to the Quest" was the theme as
signed to Miss Elizabeth Morris, while
Wandering Fires" was the subject of
Miss Noan's recitation.
Pretty features of the exercises were
the drill entitled THE Revel of the
Nymphs" and the Poses Plastique." In
the drill the young women, daintily gowned
in white and carrying garlands of leaves
and flowers, were led by Miss Frances Nc
Millen with a grace and effectiveness rarely
seen. The Poses Plastique" were prettily
tin, Anna Stapleton and Phoebe Zessin.
The musical numbers were no less pleas
ing than the other features of the exer-
cises. Miss Eleanor Riggs demonstrated
she was a singer with a sweet soprano
voice Her solo, II Do Not Ask oh Lord"
was very prettily rendered and at the close
the singer was loudly applauded in vain
efforts to induce her to respond to an en-
CORE but the length Of the program pro-
hibited her complying. The effect of Miss
Riggs solo was greatly enhanced by the
accompaniment of Miss Lulu Tholl on the
piano and Prof Max Baumeister on the
violin. To Miss Gertrude Martin was as
signed the task of reciting the class poem
and most effectively did she perfom It.
Miss Lulu Tholl delighted the audience
with a piano solo and the Misses Mary
Duff, Frances Flanagan, Phoebe zessin and
Naomi Hamilton gave the grand march
from "Tannhauser." showing that they
were a quartet of musicians.
The exercises closed with the presenta-
ton OF diplomas TO the nine graduates

pleton, Mary Dun, Lulu Tholl Phoebe Zes-

1t Will be remembered that not
long ago the general manager Of
Walla Walla's telephone system ap
peared before the council. made appli
cation for an extension OF his fran
chise, and solemnly promised that il
the extension should be granted his
company would put AL the telephone
wires on Main and Alder streets, and
connecting streets in underground
conduits and remove the present high
and Unsightly poles from the streets
in the underground territory. This
was more than a year ago. The
company purchased a sight for its
central office, has built a very pretty
building thereon; has put a lot of
wires in underground conduits, but so
far has not removed a single one of
its many tall poles. This is a matter
which the street committee of the
city council should keep in mind. 1t
must be apparent that the telephone
company has only a reasonable time
in which to remove these poles. 1t
looks to an outsider as if the com
pany meant to keep both underground
conduits and poles-have the use of
the streets above and below the sur
face, thus Notwithstanding the turn"
and keeping all the unsightIy super
structures in constant use. This was
clearly not the intention of the adj
which granted the extern
sion Of the telephone franchise. The
poles should be removed, and the
council should see that this is done
n a short time.
