The woman had been an inmate OF
the institution for about twelve
months, and while very Respondent
at times, had evinced no desire te
take her own life, indeed her conduct
was such as to warrant the authorities
in permitting her the freedom of the
lawn. When her body was found
shortly after the act had been commit

cut down, her people notified and the
burial took place yesterday al Chin

The unfortunate woman had evi.

forethought she exhibited in her pre-
parations for tself destruction wer,
such only as a. determ; med person
could conceive.
About her clothing she had con

bed sheets. Without anyone missing
her, she went to place barely out o
view Of the hundreds of other pa
tients on the lawn, fastened one emf
Of her improvised rope to an owe
head steam pipe, the other abou
her neck, and jumped from the ele
walton, upon which she had been stand

was accomplished. It could not

was first discovered, but her cloth rop
