FOUGHT TO DROWN HERSELF
MRS. FRASER rs SAVED BY AsY-
LUM GUARDS.
Escaped Insane Woman, Nude and
Hiding in Woods, Rushes Into
River When Discovered.

Mrs. Lizzie Fraser, thirty years of age.
who escaped from the Government Hos
pital for the Insane Friday morning be-
tween / o'clock and daybreak, and was
found in the asylum grounds yesterday
afternoon, was returned to the building
from which she escaped, after a sensa-
tional struggle with two Of the hospital
attendants. Before she could be taken In
in reaching the river and making an
effort to drown herself.
Hospital attendants were surprised to
find that she had not left the grounds
about the institution and that she was
within one-quarter Of a mile of the build
ing from which she had escaped. The at
tendants who found her were escorting
several patients through the grounds,
when they saw the woman hiding in a
ravine, having lost her sleeping robe she
wore when she left her room more than
thirty hours before she was found.
When the nude woman saw the attend
ants and patients she left her hiding
place and ran In the direction OF the
river. For a moment the attendants
hardly knew what to do, but they soon
realized that the loss of few minutes
might mean the death Of the woman who
had been in the woods all day Friday and
Friday night, and leaving their patients
they made quick move to overtake her.
Before she could be Overtaken, how
ever, she reached the water and was
soon in the river. The attendants. how
ever, caught her before she reached the
deep water. While they were engaged
in the struggle with Mrs. Fraser, the pa
tients who were out exercising looked on
in astonishment. hardly realizing what
was transpiring.
When the attendants had found COW
ering for her and taken her from the
chilly water, she became quiet and will
ingly accompanied them to the hospital
building. Her condition Indicated that
she had been without food or water dur
ing the many hours she had been in hid
ing in the woods, and 1t is feared she
may suffer an attack of pneumonia or
other disease following the exposure to
which she had been subjected. Mrs.
Fraser was in a weakened condition and
was scarcely able to offer further re-
sistance after being taken from the wa
ter. She was unable to give the at
tendants any idea where she had been
during her absence from the building.
Mr.. Fraser husband Of the unfortunate
woman, who lives at 1129 9Th street
northwest, was informed last night that
his wife had been found, and he arranged
to see her as soon as possible. 1t is stat
ed that Mrs. Fraser has been worried
lately, because she stated, she could not
and 1t was thought she would seek a
church while away from the hospital.
She does not seem to have sought a
church, however.
The gown Mrs. Fraser wore when she
escaped from the hospital was not found
number of persons went over the section
Of the grounds in which she was found.
but 1t was not until yesterday afternoon
that the attendants found her.
