AGED WOMAN, CLAD IN
K|MON0, FOUND ON ROAD
Mrs. Harriet SeIIeck Nearly Dead
When Discovered by Officer
on Lookout for Her

Attired My ino a thin kimono and
almost exhausted from exposure, Mrs.
Harriet Selleck, 60 years old, of Holly
wood, who escaped from her nurse,
Miss Isaline Stevens, Opal street and
Francisco avenue, Redondo Beach, was
found lying near the railroad tracks
near Gardena and brought to Los An
geles and placed in the detention ward
at the county hospital. Later her
friends, who were notified of her cond-
ton, appeared, and the unfortunate
woman was removed to the Clara Bar
ton hospital, where she slowly is recov-
ering.
Mrs. Selleck is related to several
prominent families in Hollywood Re
Gently she began to act strangely, and
a nurse was employed to take care of
her. A trip to the shore was suggested,
and the patient was taken to Redondo
Beach, where she was watched closely
by Miss Stevens.
During the temporary absence of the
nurse Tuesday afternoon the aged
woman arose from her bed and made
her escape from the house. Her alb
sence was discovered a few minutes
latetr, but despite the efforts of the
officers, who were notified by the
nurse, no trace of the missing woman
could be found.
Miss Stevens then posted notices in
the beach towns, and as a result an
officer who had read the paper saw the
woman staggering on the railroad
tracks near Gardena. He took charge
of her and brought her to Los Angeles.
Attendants at the Clara Barton hos
pital stated last night that Mrs. Seleck
is rapidly recovering from the effects
of her ramble and soon will be able to
leave the institution.
S. T. Kelsey of Hollywood is one of
the friends of relatives who is interest
ed in the case. He ordered the patient
taken to the Clara Barton hospital and
has taken charge of the matter.

INTOXICATED WIFE PLIES
DEAD MAN WITH LIQUOR.
Woman Failing to Realize HuS-
bands Condition, Continues
to Give Him Whisky

Believing that her husband was
foigning sleep and ignorant of the fact
that he was dead Mrs. May Black
man, 80 years old, drank whisky while
lying in bed by the side of the dead
man, Frank Blackman, 40 years old,
the police say, and poured many
glasses of liquor down his throat.
Patrolman Robbins entered the room
shortly after o'clock last night and
found the woman asleep with her arms
around the neck of the dead man.
Alcoholism or heart disease is thought
to have caused his death.
Blackman passed five years in the
insane asylum at Patton and was re-
leased from that institution about two
years ago. He had been employed as
a waiter His wife is a waitress. The
couple lived together at the West Sec
ond street rooming house and both are
said to have used intoxicating liquors
to a great extent. Fifty empty quart
bottles which had contained whisky
were found in the room.
Yesterday both remained away from
their places of employment and passed
their time drinking. In the afternoon
Blackman donned a pair of trousers
and went into the bath room. While
in there he tainted and fell on the
floor, where he remained for a short
time before he was discovered by two
japanese employed at the place. The
Japanese took the unconscious man to
his room and placed him in bed with
Mrs. Blackman.
The woman continued to drink, say
the police, and not knowing that her
husband was dead poured liquor down
his throat each time she took a drink.
The japanese finally reported the
matter to the landlady and the latter,
thinking something was wrong, noti-
fed the police. Patrolman Robbins
responded and found the woman in bed
with the dead man. She became hys-
terical when told that her husband was
dead. After the body was removed to
a local undertaking establishment the
woman was taken to the receiving
hospital, where she was examined by
the police surgeons.
The unfortunate woman wept bitter
ly in telling her story of the affair,
and at times was on the verge of a
collapse. After being given medicine
she was allowed to go to the home of
friends.
The coroner is investigating the mat
ter and will order an autopsy held to
determine the cause of death

CHARNOCK WILL CASE
PUzZL|NG ATTORNEYS
Question of Adopted Niece Being
Entitled to Share in Es-
tate Is Argued

Whether Laura E. Charnock, adopted
niece of the late John j. Charnock is
legally entitled to $4,000. which is one
fifth of the estate, as a direct heir, or
to nothing is a new question of law
which is puzzling attorneys. 1t was
raised before Judge Rives yesterday.
The attorneys for both sides agreed
there is not a case in point in exis-
tence. They say the rights of an
adopted niece as against blood heirs
never have been defined.
John Charnock stated in his will
that he wanted his property divided
according to law" The question is,
what is she law with regard to adopt
ed relatives? The answer is not de-
pendent on the law of California alone
but on that of Iowa, where the adop-
tion in this case took place.
Charnock died bachelor, leaving
four brothers and sisters and this, the
adopted daughter Of another deceased
brother, living.
The attorneys for the petitioner pre-
sented but little testimony yesterday,
merely such as tended to show that
Charnock thought a great deal of
Laura Charnock, that he frequently
gave her money and had furnished her
a home to live in for over fourteen
years.
If the court rules against Charnock
on the point of law raised, holding the
brothers and sisters to be the only
direct heirs, another showing will be
made. Following the will proper
comes a short note, also signed by
Charnock. requesting that S. r. Smead
be appointed guardian of his niece,
Laura E. Charnock." This will be
used If necessary az the basis for a
fight to show that Charnock intended
by his will that Laura Charnock be
provided for.
The remainder of the argument will
be presented In briefs The decision
in the case probably will not be
reached for nearly two months.
