Mrs. Hartridge's Affliction Believed
me- ~ RAadino Evidence

Mrs. Hartridge's Atfliction Believed
Due to Reading Evidence.
New York, July lit has been sug-
gested here that the insanity which
lead to the disappearance of Mrs. Clif-
ford w. Hartridge and her death in
Phtsburg was THE result Of reading
the great mass of evidence on insanity
collected by her husband to aid him
in the defense of Harry Thaw.
1t was at the time of Thaw's second
trial that Mrs. Hartridge first began
showing signs of an unbalanced mind.
The possibility of auto suggestion hav-
ing wrecked her mind, Mrs. Hartridge
was submitted to an alienist, who
said:
eff there were any predisposition of
insanity in Mrs Hartridge, reading the
works on the subject and close atten-
tion to it would bring about insanity,
but if she possessed a clean family rec
ord, it hardly is probable such reading
would unhinge her mind"
