By him she had had three children, all of them now dead. She admits she has led the life of a prostitute. This woman has been in the Florence Crittenton Mission and in the Wasliington Asylum Hospital several times. Wliile at the hospital in 1910, being treated for syphilis, she met a man who was being treated for tuberculosis, and when she told him of her condition he agreed to marry her and take care of her. He was a man with a jail and workhouse record, an habitual drunkard with vile habits, ...and had had tuberculosis for several years. They were married in March, 1910. Three months later she applied at the office of the Associated Charities for assistance; she was terribly bruised from beatings by the drunken husband. They have had two children; one died at birth, the other is a ward of the Board of Children's Guardians. Numerous attempts have been made to place the woman in the Government Hospital for the Insane, where she was once sent to await trial for insanity. Physicians testified that she was an imbecile, with the mentality of a child of about 6 or 7 years, although she is now 33; that she was unable to care for herself, and that she should be permanently segregated for her own sake and the protection of society.
