Plymouth, Mich., April 25.- Mrs. Ephraim Partridge, a bride of three months, escaped from the insane asylum at Eloise this morning, and committed suicide by drowning herself In a small lake in front of the asylum. She was 25 years old and was married on Jan. 27 last. She was formerly a teacher in the public school of this place, and it is thought that insanity was bought on by overwork. Before her marriage Mrs. Partridge showed signs of dementia in a mild form, and was taken to a Grosse Pointe sanitarium for a few weeks, brought back and supposed to be all right again. After her marriage she again showed traces of insanity, and was again sent back to the sanitarium at Grosse Pointe, but with no good results. The doctors then decided to take her to Eloise, where she had been only about a month.
