10 YEARS IN TINY
OFFICE MAY HAVE
MADE HER CRAZY

MONTICELLO, y. Y, Dec. pa
That her life of bondage and seclu-
sion in a tiny room opening from the
office of Melvin II. Couch. former
district attorney of Sullivan county,
has impaired the mind of Miss Adel-
aide Branch. the love hermit, whose
presence was revealed by Couch :
tragic death is believed now.
Her strange mannerisms, her nerN-
Gus outbreaks and her wild petitions
for death because her soul husband
is dead, have convinced many persons
that Miss Branch should be closely
watched TO prevent her from taking
her own life when she is liberated.
Sheriff Kinney kept Miss Branch
under close guard despite her protests
that she wanted no one to see her in
her grief.
Freed from the servitude in which
her Illicit love for Couch bound her.
Miss Branch is Childishly dependent.
Her clandestine companion, master
full and clear minded. for years did
the thinking for both and the woman
had become absolutely dependent up
on his will. She is now a pitiful fg-
ure.

prisoner in voice half whisper

Through the long days when the

nication with Couch when both spoke
in whispers to avoid detection, the
womans voice became affected. and
she now cannot speak in full. nor

the woman in a fit Of dreariness.
When l think OF the surprising
sweetness of my cOmpanionship with

DEMURRER SUSTAINED
Judge Mcpherson UpheIds Council
Bluffs Nonparsips Motion in Adver-
Using Case, which Has Effect Of
Ending Case n Far ~ Present In
dietmsnt 10 cenesrnsd.

Special to es-Republican.
Council Bluffs. March 15.-Judge
MCPHERSON. In the United States court
for the southern district of Iowa, to-
day sustained demurrer filed by tho
defendant Nonpariel, which has the ef-
feet Of ending the case so far as the
present indictment is concerned.
The grounds on which the demurrer
was filed were that the grand jury had
not charged that the newspaper had
knowingly mailed papers contain
ing unmailable matter. and the federal
statute covering the case states that
person who knowingly causes to be
Gent thru the mails any unmailable
matter is guilty.
The court holds that the question Of
fact as to whether the advertisement
was unmailable would have to be
proved before the publishers could be
held guilty.
The advertisement complained Of
was inoffensive on it's face. being that
of a syringe used for sanitary pur-
poses. The advertisement has been
published in nearly all Of the newspa-
pers thruout the country without
knowledge on the part of the publish
ers that it would lead any one to be-
lieve that the instrument was designed
for illegal purposes
