ASYLUM MYSTERY,
Charred Skeleton Of Wom-
an Found in Old Building
At Newark, n. J., Formerly In
sane Hospital, Now Abandoned.
Thought That Woman Tried to Es.
cape and Fired Her Clothing.

Newark, n. j., Nov. 21.-Wilkie Col
Inns never wrote q piece of fiction more
uncanny than the facts revealed by
the finding Of the charred skeleton of q
woman N the attic of an abandoned
insane asylum.
The bones were found Thursday by
Harland McarnS one of the two Watca-
men left in charge of the old asylum
on South Orange avenue when me in
stitution was moved to new quarters
in Ovcrlrocll last August. Friday the
hospital and Essen county authorities
tried to find some solution of the mys-
terry, ANA it was not until the records
Of the asylum for the last 80 years had
been searched in vain FOR the trace of
a missing patient that the fact of the
discovery was made public.
That the woman was an inmate of
the asylum is about the only fact cs-
tabliShcd. That is based OF burned
fragments Of the woman's shoes, which
were of the type WCrn by Essex
county's insane patients.
OF all the many theories advanced
ranging from murder ,lown. thc most
reasonable seems to be that the woman
was trying TO escape. perhaps, two
years ago, perhaps 40, and in lighting a
match to show herself the way undcr
the raftcrs in the dark she set fire to
her clothing and was burned to death.
Only the bones, fragments Of the
clothing ana the sole and part of the
upper of each shoe were left. The raft
crs were charred for q foot or more
about the skeleton, and near it lay a
burned match. ILL.,

Tuesday, Dec. Fl, at 10 A. M.

In an opinion handed down by At

urlay relative to foreign corporations
doing business in Maine, that officia
makes the following statement: 1T
appears that the Legislature was not
merely seeking revenue from foreign
corporations, but was also providing
complete and adequate method of
mStitutlng suits IN our courts against
foreign corporations when the law was
passed last winter The opinion is in
the form of q communication to Hon.
y. |. Brown, secretary OF State, and
is as follows:
Il am in receipt from your office of
a letter addro sScd to you by James
Cunningham & Sons Co.. in which the
writer asks if it is necessary for them
to comply with the provisions of Chap
lating to foreign corporations doing
business III this state.

and commemorative and have IN some
instances received construction and
Interpretation at the hands of the

bert, 80 n. V, Supp. 432, where the
court in substance says:

the business of Il corporation exceeds
in its character the mere taking of or
ders by travelling agents and filing
the same at the home office, then the
corporation should comply with the
act of 1909 as above referred to.
II am led to this feeling from the
fact, among others, that it appears
that the Legislature was not merely
seeking revenue from foreign corpora
tons, but was also providing a con-
plctc and adequate method of inStf-
