SAY MRS. PRATT IS INSANE.
Woman Who Was in Fanatics' Riot
Exposed Children in Storm.
DENISON, TEX., May 8. -- With the charge of lunacy formally preferred against her today, Mrs. Della Pratt, wife of Louis Pratt, killed in the riot with the police at Kansas City last December, is tonight in charge of the sheriff of Grayson county.
Today's proceedings brought out that upon her brother insisting upon her children having food on the second day of a fast, she took her children away from his ho me, a few miles from here, and went into the woods. That night witnessed the most severe storm in the history of North Texas, and Mrs. Pratt and three small children had no shelter other than the trees. She returned to her brother's ho use in the morning, saying God had communed with her during the storm and was angry with him and others for interfering with her beliefs and teachings. She was arrested and taken to Sherman.
She insists her husband, Louis Pratt, killed at Kansas City, has been on earth, first as Adam, then as David and as several other Biblical characters. She says he will come again.
