Mnticello, N. Y, Dec. 24:-Atter
having been a voluntary prisoner in
one small room of the offices of the
late Melvin II. Couch, for three
wears, Miss Adelaide Brance, the
"soul widow" of the noted lawyer,
shrank from appearing in the world
today. Though free TO leave the
Jail at any time, she still remains
there at her own request Now that
the man she loved has gone she only
regrets that she did not die with
him. A report that she had at
tempted suicide was denied by I'm
der Sheriff Hall.
Il believe the woman is tempor-
arily insane" said DR., Curlette, bro
tber in law OF Couch, today. THE
long confinement and terrible shock
of discovery may have shattered her
mind. Undoubtedly she was once
clever and brilliant
1t has been practically decided
that Miss Brance will leave the town
under cover of night so that the
people may not have a chance to
see even once the woman to cause
the towns greatest sensation. Peo-
pie can hardly wait the opening of
the Will to learn if Couch made any
provision for his affinity.
