suit of medical affidavits concerning
her mental condition.
In dull, sOmber tones, the young
woman told Judge Mcmahon that
about a year ago she had found her
self falling in love with the husband
of her dearest girl friend. The man
loved her, she said, and the other wom-
an knew of their love.
The man begged her to forget that
he was married and fly with him, she
said. Then she realized what a griev-
Gus wrong she was doing to her friend.
She told the man their love must
end.
Il tore all thought Of my love from
my mind,' SAID Miss Anderson, land
left only a blank In its place"
Judge Mcmahon learned from
Kings county hospital physicians her
mind Is so shattered that, although
she was an expert musician and lingu-
list, she now cannot play the piano ex-
cept discordantly, nor can she read
or speak exactly except in English.
Describing it as one of the saddest
cases ever to come under his judicial
notice, the judge committed Miss
Anderson to Kings Park asylum.
