Maria Becker, apparently crazed by
the tedium Of journey across the
continent leaped through a car win

near Yosts, N. Y, Saturday night. 1t

had rolled down steep embankment.
The woman, who was about rs years
old, was accompanied by a baby girl
about years old, supposed to be her
daughter, who has been placed in a
children's institution at Albany. The

the names Of Maria Becker and Mary
