Mrs.Carrie Claneghan,who four days ago fired a bullett into her breast during 
a fit of temporary insanity,died yesterday morning at the Good Samaritan 
Hospital. The body is now at Finley's undertaking parlors,and arrangements for 
the funeral are being made. Mrs.Claneghan was 43 years old, and resided at 385 
East Ninth street. She was a woman universally liked and her death is mourned 
by a great number of friends and acquaintances. Nine weks ago Mrs.Claneghan 
gave birth to a first child and never fully recovered from a nervous shock 
sustained at the critical period.She lost her mental facilities and she 
finally shot herself after writing a note stating that she preferred death to 
the insane asylum. After shooting herself she sang hymns until she lost 
consciousness. The bullet passed through her chest and pneumonia set 
in,causing her death.
