MRS. TROY ESCAPES.
Woman Accused of Murder Leaves the
Asylum.

Matte Troy, the 300 pound negro wo-
man held for the murder of an adopted
son, escaped this morning from the
asylum, where she was sent several
months ago. At noon today the woman
had not been found.
The Troy woman's trouble started
more than a year ago when an adopted
son died. The boy carried an insurance
policy under which Mrs Troy was
beneficiary. After the company's pay
ment of the money investigation of the
boys death was started by county Of
ficials and an examination showed that
the young man had been poisoned. Mrs.
Troy was arrested on a charge of first
degree murder and while in jail de-
veloped clever insanity stunt so it is
now claimed. She refused to eat, raved
and lost flesh and when she was taken
to the asylum a few months ago it was
predicted she would not survive the
week. Since then her health has i'm
proved and her avoirdupois had almost
reached normal
1t has been stated that the woman,
was to have been tried at the January
session of the district court and it was
to escape trial that she took advantag s
of an opportunity to leave the asylum
Before coming to Topeka Mrs. TROY
was arrested in Kansas City on a
charge of killing her husband. This
case was dismissed.

railroad commission today ordered a
reduction of from five to twenty cents

This morning neighbors appeared in
