Lane County Woman Smothered at Asylum
Salem dispatch reports Mrs. Susan Freese, an inmate of the State Insane Asylum, was smothered by another inmate Monday night after being moved from Lane County. Coroner’s finding absolves asylum authorities as the act was deemed unavoidable. Freese, over 50, previously from Thurston, had become unbalanced after conversion in a revival meeting. She leaves several children and a young daughter. Separately, the Oregon Supreme Court affirms that a person selling land who buys through others may be liable to rescind if the vendor’s interests aren’t disclosed, in a case involving Anderson Waite, E. T. Maher, H. H. Fisk, and the First National Bank of Eugene.
