There seems to be no reason why
she should have committed this deed
unless she was not in her right mind
at the time, for she was of one Of the
best families of Warsaw and every de-

nothing that would Indicate her pres

such plan as slipping to the river ant
taking her own life.
Storms Caused Nervousness.
