woman who took the hichloride OF
mercury AZ Mt. Jackson sometime ago
in an attempt to end her life and who
had been in the Rockingham Memorial
hospital for the past few days, was
released yesterday by the physicians
only to be taken into custody by the
police officers OF this city, and last
night she was lodged in the county
jail, where she will be held until police
officers of Washington notify the local
authorities what to do.
The woman in question when
brought to the hospital. gave her name
to the newspaper reporter as Mrs,
Harry Thorpe, but 1t developed Yes

Gertrude Lloyd.
It seems that in 1915 the same wo-

her 1t is now likely that she will
have to answer the charge which has
