Her MIND WRECKED.
Woman Who Killed Guerin Yesterday
Is Insane.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-With her mind
almost completely wrecked Mrs. Flora
Mcdonald, who yesterday shot and
killed Webster S. Guerin. was removed
last night to the annex of the Harri-
son street police staten. where her
husband, Michael Mcdonald. spent
most of the night with her. After her
removal her condition became gradu-
ally worse and she could neither recog-
nize Mcdonald nor others who had
questioned her earlier in the day.
Bromides and hypodermic injec-
lions were given her almost every hour
throughout the night, but she could
not be Cuieted. AT times she I'M
agined the sun was shining over her
and that its rays had caused her mead
to burst When quieted by her hus-
band and attending physicians she
would declare that she was suffering
from aches and pains throughout her
body At other times her hallucina-
ton was that she was on voyage
across the ocean in the midst of a
storm At another time she imagined
that the annex was crowded with chill
dren Mcdonald was deeply affected
by his wifes condition and frequently
sobbed over her. For a time she i'm
agined she was on the summit OF
Pixies Peak praying and in her pray
ers she appealed to God to tell her
what the trouble was that she had
dragged her husband into. All the
while Mcdonald sat near her striving
to hold back his tears as he stroked
her hands.
From the time of the tragedy until
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-02-22

a late hour last night Mrs. Mcdonald
talked in a rambling and disconnected
manner and little was obtained from
her concerning the motive for the
crime. From other sources and also
from pieces of crudely composed
verse that were found in her handbag
and taken from her after struggle
by policeman 1t was learned that
Mrs. Mcdonald had been possessed of
an all absorbing passion love for
some one.
The object of her affections is not
disclosed in the verses, but develop
ments after the tragedy led to the be-
lief that it was Guerin. The verses
were written on sheets of white paper
in an uneven hand and the writing is
believed to be that of Mrs. Mcdonald
Mrs McDonald's explanation to the
police as to the motive for her crime
seemed exploded by the statements OF
her husband. Mrs. Mcdonald declared
that Guerin had been levying black
mail on her and that repeatedly he had
obtained sums from her on threats OF
exposure She had declared he had
followed her to California after she
had fled to escape his attentions anu
renewed his demands.
This explanation. however. was
contradicted by the words of McDon-
aid He said he never had given his
wife large sums of money, these sums
practically having only been sufficient
for the needs of the household or Wen
defined needs of the woman
Statements from Guerin's relatives
seemed to place far different light on
the tragedy. They declared that since
Guerin had been a boy in school Mrs
Mcdonald had been enamored OF him
and that she had continued her atten-
tons even after he had used every
influence to break his relations with
her.

NEW YORK, June IS. = William

in the world, when asked as to his
opinion Of the financial situation, said /:
q think the situation which has pre-,
vailed for several months past is wear.
Ing Itself out very rapidly and tia,
the prospects for the future are good.

In business. Some Of the merchants
and others may have little setbaeS
in business, but 1t should not be i'm.
portant.
Concerning the railroads, their
earnings continue 10 make astonishing
gains. However, It would be a great
deal better for them II their business
were running 10 per cent. to 10 per
cent. lower. In that case there would
be more profit for the railroads. There
is more business than can be handled
economically"
Asked II he did not think there was
a worldwide demand for gold, Mr..
Rockefeller remarked that he did not
believe there was big demand for
money aud did not anticipate there
would be.
