was being taken to the asylum, at Ra

to Charlotte, and no doubt all the rest
of the route, the woman raved. She
beat her head against the window,
shrieked at the top of her . voice and
cursed everybody in sight. Her every
word almost was a horrible oath. Her
hands were hand-cuffed, and she was
tied in the seat. When the train
stopped herey she attracted a crowd
about the window where she was sit-
head againatlthe window sill and curs-
ed at-. the top of her voice, with every
breath.., Every one who passed the
window was tihe object of her attack..
The sight was terrible almost horri
fying. The woman went crazy six
months ago, and was kept first in the
county home and the in the jail. She
became so violent that she could , not
be kept there any longer.
