Persecution Causes Insanity. -
Count" Edwin J. Brunswick de Cor
ompa. committed from here to the
federal penitentiary at Saltwater for
10 years by United States District
Judge Smith Mcpherson for violation
of the Mann white slave act, has been
discharged from the government asy-
lum at Washington, d. c., according
20 immigration Inspector Z. II. STRAIT
ton of Des Moines, who was in the
city a short time yesterday. Corompa
was taken back to prison. being placed
in the federal penitentiary at Fort
LeavenwOrth, Kan, because of the
overcrowded condition at Saltwater.
He spent several months at the fed
eral asylum, being sent there violent
~ insane. II is said that although he
has been released from the institution,
his condition is not greatly improved.
Corompa. it is stated. refers constant
~ to Autumn Stonebraker. the 16-
year-old girl whom he lured from her
home in Charlottesville. Ind, and com
PEELED to tramp across the country
from Chicago. The couple was picked
up. half-famished, in a box car at
Muscatine. Shortly after the girl told
the story which caused Corompa to be
held for violation of the Mann act.
Corompa married the girl in Chicago.
but grossly mistreated her, according
to the story told in court by the mans
child-wife. From Chicago the couple
walked to Sabula, Iowa, and from there

went TO Rock Island by boat. From
Rock Island the pair came to Daven-
port, and after staying here a while
made their way to Muscatine. At the
time the couple was taken into Gus
tody the girl was wearing male at
tire. Coromba states that he loved
the girl, and would give all" TO see
her. a federal official who asked to
have his name withheld declared that
he believes the man is telling the truth
when he makes this assertion. The
official says, in his opinion, the girl
was not entitled TO pity, and Glenn
ency. If any, should have been ex-
tended to Corompa. He says the rec
ord of the girl was of an unsavory ma
ture before she met Corompa. The
official believes Corompa-s statement
to the effect that he fell in love with
the girl because she reminded him of
mis- dead wife. Corompa was men,
tally deranged when he met Autumn
Stonebraker, according to the officer.
A perjury charge against Corompa is
pending in federal court here. He was
indicted on this count at the April
term Corompa's health is failing rap
idly and his death is believed to not
be far of.
