Gresham to her strange actions, The
policeman approached the girl and
started to question her. She tore the
partially written note into bits before
the patrolman could take it from her,
and weeping, said:
That's my last letter to mother, and
now I'll not be able to send it."
The policeman then discovered tine
knife at her side, and the girl is alleged
to have said: That's for me. That and
the letter | was writing mother"
When taken to the police station the
girl denied she sought to end her life,
but smilingly said she had bought the
big knife to make a change of scene"
for her husband.
Pending information from Clinton,
the girl will be detained at the police
station. The police are searching for
the husband, but as the girl refuses to
disclose his identity the search may
prove fruitless.
