IDA Won CLAUSSEN
SEIZED, SAYS NOTE
Kidnapped by Commissioner
Davis, Woman Alleges in Paper
Thrown from Auto.

Adolph R. Levy, OF 172 East oath St,
rushed into the Sd Branch Detective
Bureau at 9:2O o'clock last night and
reported that he had just seen an auto
mobile driving south in Fifth av. at
91st st. with a woman screaming in the
back seat.
As the machine passed him she cried
to him: Take that" and a paper fut-
tered from the car to his feet 1t
read:
"For Gods sake, telephone my at
torney, Wallace j. Collins, of Jamaica,
Long Island the telephone number is
1881 Jamaica TO search for me! ] am
kidnapped at midnight by Commis-
sioner Davis without law, pending a
stay Of the Appellate Division
The note was signed ida Won Claus
SEN"
Mrs. Won Claussen, who claims the
title OF countess, has been in the lime
light many times. When last heard
from she was in the Queens County
iail serving six months sentence for
writing a threatening letter to Charles
Strauss, her former attorney. Her
clash with ex-President Roosevelt and
her incarceration in Matteawan, from
which she was released on habeas
corpus writ, are still fresh in public
memory.
Commissioner Davis sent her from
Blackwel's Island TO the Queens County
iaU. and secured an order 10 send her
nacx 20 -Matteawan. She fought this
move on wit of habeas corpus.
Keepers AT the jail early this morning
would not say whether Mrs. Won Claus
sen was there or not. Commissioner
Davis was reported out Of town. At
torney Collins, whose number is really
1894 Jamaica, could not be reached
his number did not answer.
Al the State Hospital for Insane
Prisoners az Matteawan u was said at
/ o'clock this morning that Mrs. Won
Clsussen had not arrived there. They
seemed 20 be expecting her, however.
"If She is coming" the night super
;ntendent said. "she will be here about
9.3O" He was evidently expecting a
decision which would return the wom-
an 20 the insane hospital.
The stay 10 which the note refers was
,o he argued Monday in Brooklyn, and
~ was believed in Long Island City last
night that the decision had been against
he woman and that she had been taken
suav from the Jail. Her term would
have expired November II.

W0MAN'S SLAYER
MENACES EX-WIFE
Mrs. Won Krebs Says Hunt
ed Man Threatened Her
on Street Here.

Richard Won Krebs, the maniac who
murdered Mrs. Henry Rheil and Sc
riously wounded her husband on a farm
near New Brunswick, is at large here
and last night accosted his divorced
wife on the street and threatened her
with death Mrs. Won Krebs applied
to the police Of the West 47th st. sta
tion for protection.
A few minutes before she entered
the police station. said Mrs. Won Krebs,
her husband stepped from 2 doorway
in 52d ST and confronted her. He
told her, she asserted, that she was
responsible for his mental condition
and said that he would kill her as he
had done the New Brunswick woman.
Mrs. Won Krebs broke down after
giving the police this information, and
was escorted TO the home of her
brother in West 47th ST. Detectives
were sent out Immediately TO scour
the neighborhood for Won Krebs, but
no trace of him was found.
Early in the day information reached
the police that Won Krebs was in this
city, and detectives from the Office Of
the District Attorney in New Bruins
wick came here to look for him. From
neighbors of an apartment house at
222 St Nicholas av., which was the
home of Won Krebs's sister, 1t was
learned that man answering the
maniac's description called at the
house Tuesday, the day before the
murder.
The sister, Mrs. T. Brehm, died Tues
day morning. The caller, neighbors
said. acted in queer manner and
appeared to be muttering threats. Last
night the New Brunswick detectives,
acting with local detectives from the
third branch. watched the ST. Nicholas
av. house until 9 o'clock for Won
Krebs's possible return.
From the house the detectives went
to an undertaking establishment in
East 10th ST.. where the body of Mrs.
Brehm had been taken. They watched
this establishment all night They viii
attend the funeral of Mrs. Brehm this
morning.
At St. Peters Hospital. New Bruins
wick, where Rheil was taken after the
shooting Wednesday, it was said last
night that the wounded man would re-
cover.
Won Krebs had been heard to make
threats against various persons before
his attack on the Rheils. He had
threatened, it was said yesterday, to
kill Chief Of Police O'Connell of New
Brunswick, the County Prosecutor and
several attorneys. He also tried to at
tack Woodrow Wilson, while the latter
was Governor of New Jersey.

LAYS INSANITY TO
TWILIGHT SLEEP''
DR.. Gregory Asserts That Three
Mothers Lost Reason by
Treatment.

That in at least three instances
where mothers gave birth to children
under the twilight sleep method the
women have gone insane and that two
Of them are permanently out OF their
minds was the statement made yester-
day by Dr.. Minas S. Gregory, head OF
the psvcopathic ward of Bellevue Hos
pital. The women came under the
personal observation of DR.. Gregory
The three women, said DR.. Gregory,
took the twilight sleep" treatment IN
New York hospitals. Within two TO
five days after the birth Of their emil
dren their approaching insanity was
manifested. Two of the women, assert
ed DR.. Gregory. are now in the state
Uospital for the Insane. The thlrd
recovered after few weeks.
When asked why the treatment
caused insanity. DR.. Gregory unhesi-
tatingly blamed the drugs which are
administered in the course Of the
treatment. The drugs most commonly
emploved are scopolsmin, morphium
"The insanity Of the three women
manifested itself in the form OF de-
iirium," said DR.. Gregory, "and that
delirium was unquestionably due to
the drugs used.
'"e ~ have not studied the Freiburg
