@.H& New York woman Of some means, has
0hAV appeared from time to time In the news
A6 columns OF the papers for the past
seven or eight years. In the various episodes OF
her career have figured the King OF Sweden, The
odore Roosevelt. the American Minister to Swe-
den and many other distinguished persons.
Ida Caussen is Just now prisoner In the New
York Asylum for the Insane at Matteawan--the
same institution Harry Thaw escaped from. In
fact, there is much similarity between the "Thaw
case" and what will probably develop into the
"Claussen case" Both are adjudged to be suffer.
ing from the same particular kind of insanity
paranoia; both keep staff of lawyers on hand;
both are constantly in and out Of the courts.
In some respects Mrs. Claussens experiences
In the courts are more remarkable than Thaws.
-Four. times she has been adjudged insane three
times she has been declared sane and twice she
has been decided to be half sane and half crazy.
And the end Of this legal game Of "amI-saneor.
amI.not" is not yet in sight. Like Harry Thaw,
Mrs. Claussen expects to get out of Matteawan
one way or another.
Chronologicaly stated. the history of this re-
marksble case runs about follows:
In October, 1911, a Supreme Court Judge de-
clared Mrs. Claussen to be insane suffering from
paranoia. ON incurable mental disease. and sent
her to Bloomingdale Insane Asylum.
few months later another Supreme Court
Judge was appealed to. declared her sane and
discharged her.
In January Of this year, having been indicted
for sending threatening letter. she was declared
to be too insane to go to trial. and was committed
to Matteawan.
few weeks later a sheriff's Jury was sum.
moned TO pass upon her competency to handle
her estate. They found her sane.
In April the question of her sanity was brought
up before another Supreme Court Judge, and he
held that she was probably too insane to be found
guilty, but sane enough to be tried.
In May she was accordingly put on trial, and
the Judge charged the jury that they might find
her sane enough to be held responsible for
crime, even though otherwise insane. She was
found guilty.
A week OF two later the trial Judge sentenced
her to six months In tho penitentiary. but de-
clared that In his opinion she was too insane to
stay there.
In October Supreme Court Judge decided
that she was too insane to stay in prison and or
dered her transferred to Matteawan.
The question which naturally crises is: How
insane Is a woman who, within less than two
years Is declared by successive judicial de-
cisions to be-
4. Sane enough to be discharged from an
asylum.
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1914-12-13

2. Too insane to be put on trial for an al.
legged crime.
3. Sane enough to manage her estate.
Z. Too insane probably o-be found guilty,
but sane enough to be tried.
g., Sane enough to be sentenced 20 prison,
but probably too insane to stay there.
8. Too insane to stay In prison.
And yet these decisions, hopelessly CONFLICTING
as they may appear to the layman, are entirely
consistent In the mind Of a lawyer. according to
Assistant District Attorney George q. Medalie.
upon whom has fallen the burden Of pursuing the
unfortunate woman, as District Attorney Jerome
pursued Harry Thew.
Ida C1aussen. Countess Ida Won Claussen"
as she styles herself, first came prominently be-
fore the public in 1907 when she presented her
self at the court of the King Of Sweden and was
rejected because the American Minister there
Charles r. Graves, declined to vouch for her.
Mrs. Claussen had procured magnificent
court dress, costing some $4,000, for the expected
presentation, but she was given NO opportunity
to wear 1t.
Upon her return to this country she visited
Washington and appealed to President Roosevelt.
to discipline Minister Graves and Secretary of
State Bacon. but che got satisfaction. From
that time she has. repeatedly claimed that she
was being persecuted By Colonel Roosevelt and
Bacon, and in 1910 she prepared a complaint ad-
dressed to the Supreme Court OF the United
States, In which she named Charles Graves. Alice
Wright Graves, his wife, and Theodore Roosevelt
as defendants, and in which she asked one million
dollars by way Of damages from tho defendants
and also Ambassador Bacon for ISLANDER malice
and revenge"
month or two later she appeared at the
offices of a trust company and assaulted the vice.
president and another official because they re-
fused to pay her money which she claimed was
due her. -
After various other escapades and threats made
against prominent men, friends secured her COM
mitment to Bloomingdale. In trying to escape
from that institution she broke her foot. When
she was released after five months Incarceration,
her attacks against those who she claimed were
prosecuting her continued up to the time she
sailed for Europe IN 1913. From there che wrote
letter to Charles Strauss president Of the Board
OF Water Supply, threatening him with violence
unless he provided means for upsetting divorce
which she had secured in 1905.
When she returned to this country last year
she was indicted for having sent the threatening
letter to Mr. Strauss, and the various proceed
ings above referred to then followed.
Mrs. Claussen hopes her lawyers will find
way to open the gates of Matteawan Asylum.
"Thaw is out. Why not II At least, / never
killed anybody" Mrs. Clapssen argues.

president, and Johr. B. Foster, secre-
tary of the New York Giants.
1t was learned that the recent visit
of that pair to this city was for the
purpose of critically examining the
bowl with a view to establishing the
proposition. Before leaving here Fos-
ter and Hampstead said there was
more room in the bowl to play base
ball game than in some grounds during
the crowded conditions that have ex-
listed during past worlds series.
The bowl will seat $1,000 persons
and standing room accommodations
for between 1900 and $4,000 more
on the parapet at tire top of the big
dish can be made available. Not many
more than 10000 can be crowded into
any of the major league parks for a
worlds series.
According to Messrs- Hampstead and
Foster, the big league club owners
wish to await the success Of Yale's ex-
pertinent in building the bowl before
themselves proceed to sink money in
q similar venture.
