Mrs. Mahoney Insane;
Taken to Warm Springs

Following a sanity hearing yes
terday before Judge Theodorea Lentz,
Mrs. Jack Mahoney was committed to
the state asylum at Warm Springs.
Drs. Spottswood and Remington COM
posed the commission.
Throughout the hearing Mrs. Ma
honey was violent and it was necessary
forcibly to detain her during the pro-
ceedings. Several witnesses, among
them her husband and neighbors, de-
clared it their opinion the unfortunate
woman should be sent away for treat
ment~ She was taken to the asylum
last night.
Mrs. Mahoney is the mother of four
small children and steps are already
under way to place them in the mis-
sion home at st. Ignatius. MIR. Ma
honey figured prominently in the case
against former City Treasurer Frank
c. Hall, who was sentenced to the
state penitentiary on a charge of rape
upon the person of Ellen Lucetta
