Sullivan Countryside Is
the Victim Of Paralysis.

The mystery of the woman who was
arrested by Patrolman Connolly at the
Erie ferry Novenber 2, and who could
not talk, save to lisp the name MARY"
has been cleared. She is still in the City
Hospital, but will be removed by her
brother to Sullivan County, N. Y, this
afternoon. She lay in the hospital from
the night Of her arrest until Tuesday
night before appearing any way at all
rational, when for a few~ ~moments she
recovered and lisped the words &C. f.
Armstrong, Long Eddy, Sullivan County,
New York" This morning Chief Muir
ply was communicated with by telephone
by John Sullivan, of Long Eddy, Sulli-
van County, N. Y, who said the woman
was his sister, Mrs. Mary Meyer. He
said over the phone that his sister had
escaped from New York Hospital,
where, she had been undergoing treatment
after a stroke of paralysis. Mr.. Sulli-
van said he would come on Immediately
to this city and take her to her home.
1t is peculiar coincidence that in
booking her as Mary Meyer, after only
catching the name Mary, that the police
guessed the right name
The case though not a parallel one,
calls to the police that of Mary Ford,
in the early eighties, which became cele-
brated, the newspapers devoting column
after column to it for ute while. This
woman called upon the police to arrest,
John Poindextsr, a negro, who, she de-
clared, had kidnapped her three children.
She said she hailed from Cherry Valley,
California. The police found there was
no such place. other addresses were
given, all of which proved false. The
police traced her home in Ireland. 1t
dren, but was laboring under an hallu-
cination. Eminent specialists and alien
lists frem various parts of the country
examined and pronounced her mono
maniac. She was detained at oPlice
aeHduarters for month and then re-
moved to the City Hospital, where she
remained five months. Meanwhile Poin-
dexter, the accused negro, languished in
Jail for that length of time. Finally both
were discharged. Though closely watched
the woman gave her watchers the slip
on the East Side in New York.
