THREE WOMEN ANNOYED BY I'M
AGINARY EVILS.
Death of One at Boarding House, An
other Sent to Hospital
for Insane.

young woman whose name was re-
corded by the police as Annie Angle, died
this morning at 612 Louisiana avenue
northwest where she had been with her
mother and sister since last Sunday. Her

and her sister. Lille Angle, thirty-five
years old were arrested by the police of
the sixth precinct on suspicion that their
minds are impaired, and We're taken to the

comfortable in witness room to await the
arrival of the police surgeons.
The surgeons found the daughter. Lille.
to be of unsound mind and Sanitary Off,
Ger Frank will commit her to the hospital
for the insane this afternoon. They failed
to find any evidence of insanity in the
case of the mother, and she will be held
and an effort made to locate her friends.
Story of Love and Devotion.
The body of the dead woman was re-
moved to the morgue and was later turned
over to Undertaken Geer for interment in
the Hebrew cemetery. Behind the death
of the one woman and arrest of the others
is strange story of love and devotion ex-
listing between mother and daughters. For
twelve months they have experienced severe
hardships in country places trying to get
away from people they imagined were perse-
cutting them. Their persecution. theytmagine,
commenced when they prepared to enter
suit against a street railway company In
New York because of an injury one of the
sisters received by falling from car. Then,
they think, the government took a hand In
the conspiracy to prosecute them and get
themsout of the way. Leaving New York.
they went to New Jersey, where they re-
manned short time. Then they started
for Virginia in order to get into the noun
tains. where. they thought, they would be
far away from civilization, and where they
would have fear of being Oyprtakpn by
people who sought their lives. But in the
mountains they had experience which
excited the belief that they were not much
better off than when they were in the big
city of New York. They were being driven
across the mountain in wagon when An
ME fell from the vehicle and was injured.
Her mother and twin sister think her death
was due to that fall. and that she was pur-
posely thrown from the wagon. Thus far
said one of the women this morning the
consrirators have succeeded in their eff
forts
And" she added. Il think we will go the
same way in the near future"
Annoying to Farmers.
The mother and daughters spent some
time in Loudoun county. Va. and caused
considerable annoyance to farmers 1t is
reported that they would call at a house
and gain admittance because of their plea
of poverty and persecution and would al
ways remain until they had to be driven
away At Warrenton Va, they were ar
rested under the provisions of the vagrancy
laws. but were released in short time.
and sent here with money that was con-
tributed by residents of the town.
Reach a Boarding House.
They reached here last Sunday morning
and spent most of the day looking for a
room. About shutdown follower of the
races saw them on Louisiana avenue and
~ ba LOW of
Abrahams. 1t was against the rules of her
house to take women as dodgers, but the
man who accompanied them to the house
prevailed upon her to suspend the rules and
she admitted them. They soon became OBJ
jectonable and Mrs. Abrahams consulted
the police and board of charities. She was
willing to assist them, she said but feared
their carelessness might result in setting
fire to her house.
Mrs. Angle and her daughters thought
they were not being properly treated. They
received visits from ladies connected with
the Central Union Mission and ate what
food was sent TO them, but insisted they
would not accept charity and that it was
their intention to pay for what was given
them. DR.. William T. Gill went to the
house at the request of the charitable ladies
and found the sick woman in a dying con-
dition. She had an attack of Bright's dis
ease and there was not the slightest chance
that she would recover.
Refuses to Go to Hospital
Il won't go to the hospital" said the dy-
ing woman because l can't be separated
from my mother and sister"
The mother and sister charged that the
desire to send the sick one to the hospital
was only another evidence of the conspiracy
against them. Last night the doctor was
at the bedside of the patient at II o'clock.
She was then dying but still refused to be
separated Death relieved the sick ones
sufferings about o'clock and then the po-
lice were notified. When the police reached
the house they found Lille Angle with her
arms about the neck of the corpse and 1t
was much against her will that the body of
her sister was taken away to the morgue.
