PECULIAR CASE FOR
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
Former Norwich Woman Mentally De-
ficient Presents Problem.

The inadequacy of the state law
governing the committal of insane
women to state institutions was en-
phasized by the details of a special
case has been brought before the adj
visory committee !. of the, Associated
Charities at New London. A woman
80 years old. who has been arrested
for drunkenness three times in New
London and several times in Nor
wich, Hartford and New York, has
been pronounced an imbeciIe by Di.
Thomas f. Erdman of the state in
sane asylum. Her brother is crazy
and is an inmate of the asylum and
her father is supported by the town
of Norwich. She was born in this
city and it was believed that she could
be committed to the asylum from this
city until an investigation, prompted
by the womans peculiar insistance
that she was married three years ago
and hadn't seen her husband for five
years, resulted in the discovery that
she had been married in Winsted in
1897. The whereabouts of her hus-
band are absolutely unknown since the
woman herself has no idea on the
subject.
The law provides, however, that a
woman's residence is in the town in
which her husband resides and as long
as her husbands residence remains
unestablished, no town is responsible
for her care. There is, however, a Fl
nal alternative. If an investigation
fails to discover the woman's husband
a direct petition to the governor may
be granted which will admit the wcm-
