Mill Brocher, Who Mode a. BenJ
aotlonol Escape from T. W. O. A.
Home In Thirteenth Street at an
Early Hour Yesterday Morning.
Sought by Bicycle Policemen,
Why did Louise Brocher, the
Quebec, Canada, girl, who was ar
rested yesterday afternoon on a
charge of insanity, come to Wash
ington, and is her insanity caused
by enforced abstinence from mor
phine? These are questions which
are vexing the police of this city
and the authorities of the Washing
ton Asylum.
Last night, in her ward at the
hospital, she said, over and over
again, she had come to Washington
"for certain reasons," but although
questioned for nearly an hour, she
refused to say anything which
would give a clew as to the "rea
sons." MAKES ADMISSION.
In spite of the fact that she has told
the hospital physicians she has never
taken drugs of any kind beyond those
given her by doctors, she confessed to
a reporter for The "Washington Herald
last night that she left Quebeo because
her lungs were diseased and that she
had used morphine
' I had to leave on account of my
lungs," she said, "and then I used mor
phine, too,"
Thursday night she entered the office r
r me, westers union Teiegrapa com
pany and filed a message to her father.
Dr. M. D. Brocher, of Quebec The fol
lowing message was received at the
Hotel Continental yesterday morning:
' Oblige putting her in asylum. I will
go by first train
"Dr M D BROCHER."
The clerk of the hotel stated last night
that her bill was paid In full yesterday.
He knew nothing of how it was paid and
did not know whether there was any
money at the hotel for Miss Brocher.
The phjsicians at the hospital state
although she has refused food, she has
constantly asked for food "that has been
inspected bv government experts."
When as iced why she did not stay at
tho Young Women's Christian Associa
tion Home in Thirteenth street, where she
was advised to go b a clerk at the tele
graph office, she stated the place was not
what she thought it would be On leav
ing the home, under what the matron be
lieved to be peculiar circumstances, she
went to the Hotel Continental. The ma
tron, suspecting "something was wrong,
telephoned the police and mounted nd
biejcle pol'cemen and reserves were de
tailed on the case
Thej stopped eerjbody they met, and,
giving a description of the woman, asked
If she had been seen The clerk at the
Continental Hotel stated last night she
had arrived there at 4 o'clock in the
morning
Peculiar Circumstances.
Circumstances concerning her actions
at the hotel are also peculiar. Arriving
for the first time July 10, she" registered,
signing "Marie Louise, Archangelo " She
left the hotel the next day, but returned
tho following evening about 9 o'clock.
The second tlmi she signed "Marie,
Louise, Archangelo," with a comma after
each name, and gae no address. A few
minutes later the clerk called her room,
according to his statement, and In re.
ply to his question she said she was from
New York City.
"When asked why she did not go to the
hotel on the night she visited the As
sociation Home, she said she had been
looking for work and was too tired to
do so. She says she desires to do hand
embroidery. The housekeeper of th&
Hotel Continental told the clerk Miss
Brocher carried in her suit case two or
three plates of hand-painted china,
which, according to the woman, were
excellent specimens of the art.
Won Well Dressed.
The hotel clerk says she was well
dressed, but that her clothes were not
made according to prevailing styles. She
wore a black skirt, white stockings, and
low black shoes. She wore no hat.
When walking she looked straight ahead

HUNGARY RELICS
Sped! Ctbls to Tho VTuMsgtoo Herald.
"Budapest, July 15. Emperor Francis
Joseph is considering a tentative offer of
$1,000,000 h J. Pierpont Morgan for the
throne curtain and other relics of Mat
thias Corvinus, King of Hungary in the
fifteenth century.
The relics constitute a part of the
collection of Count Imroe Erdoedy.
Not alone does Mr. Morgan want the
relics, but the wonderful castle of
Galgoeoz, in which the collection is kept.
Should Mr. Morgan secure the castle, he
would also become possessed of the
rights of a feudal baron, Inasmuch as
the castle Is a part of an ancient prlncI-J
pallty. While Francis Joseph has the
matter under consideration, the decision
is a matter of much uncertainty.
