DECLARED HIS WIFE INSANE.
But She Was Discharged and the Hus-
band Sent to Jail.

Kansas City, Kan, Aug. 9.-Albert
Trowbridge, a Kansas City, Kan.
junk dealer, spent last night in the
county Jail as result of causing the
arrest of his wife on the charge of in
sanity. A complaint will be issued to-
day by County Attorney Joseph Tag
CART charging him with malicious
prosecution.
Yesterday Mrs Emma M. Trow-
bridge, wife of Albert, was given an
examination in the probate court on
the charge of insanity. She had been
arrested upon the complaint of her
husband, whom she left last week. At
the trial it developed that Mrs. Trow-
bridge was in a perfectly rational
state of mind and that the only act
on her part that would suggest insan-
ity was committed a week or so ago
when she attempted to commit sui
eide after alleged mistreatment by her
husband. From the testimony intro
duced before Probate Judge Prather
it appeared that she had been driv-
en- to desperation by the unkind acts
of Trowbridge, and after her unsuc-
cessful attempt at self destruction she
was induced by her friends to leave
him. She left him Monday and went
to the home of a friend. where she
was arrested yesterday morning on
the information sworn out by her hus-
band. She had employed an attorney
to bring suit for divorce and this she
stated was the reason Trowbridge
CAUSED ner
Not the slightest evidence was in
troduced at the hearing in the after
noon which pointed to any defect in
her mental faculties and at the con-
clusion of the examination Probate
Judge Van B. Prather dismissed the
insanity charge against Mrs. Trow-
bridge and taxed the costs against her
husband. He also recommended that
he be held to answer the charge of
malicious prosecution. Mrs. Trow-
bridge will go before the county attor-
ney today and swear to a complaint
charging him with mahciously caus-
ing her arrest and prosecution.
