PROPERLY DETAINED AT THE ASYLUM Court's Emphatic Declaration to Superintendent Godding. THE JURY OF INQUIRY Judge Bradley, after a very brief hearing teday in Criminal Court No. 2, decided that Mrs. Lucy B. Newell has not been detained against her will at the Government Hos- ital for the Insane. The court, therefore, dismissed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, by which it was sought to have Mrs. Newell released from the asylum, and directed that she be returned to that in- stitution. ‘The proceedings in regard to Mrs. New- ell were instituted ‘yesterday afternoon, when Attcrney’ W. Preston Williamson, acting for Arthur J. May, as the next friend of Mrs, Newell, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, setting forth thut Mrs. Newell was unlawfully, and without her consent, restrained of her liberty at the irstitution named. It was declared in the Petition that she was held at the asylum iMegally, the restraint and detention being by virtue of a commitment issued by au- thority of law, the. commitment not being predicated by an inquiry by a jury and without judicial investigation and trial by jury. It was further declared in the petition that Mrs. Newell is not insane, but that January 13 she was enticed away from her home to the office of Superinten- Gent Godding at the asylum. Dr. Godding Presents a Note. The petition was presented to Judge Bradley, and he directed that Mrs. Newell be brought into court later in the after- neon. Dr. Godding appeared at the hour set and produced a note from Mrs. Newell, in which she said she desired to stay at the asylum. Attorney Williamson stated the facts to the court from his standpoint. He said that he had called at the asylum and that Dr. Godding had refused to permit him to see the woman. All Attorney Wil- liamson wanted, he said, was to have Mrs. Newell brought into court so tt could be iearned from her whether or not she was detained at the asylum against her will. Attorney Williamson thought it strange that Dr. Godding, after expressing the opinion that the woman was insane, should produce a note from her and expect the court to act on it as coming from an in- sane woman. Dr. Godding maintained that Mrs. Newell had gore to the asylum of her own voli- tion. She was not detained there, he said, but was merely a guest who was fearful of her life. It was added that an inquiry had been instituted to determine the san- ity of Mrs. Newell, and that it would be a hardship upon her to require her to leave the hospital until an inquiry is had. After Mrs. Newell reached the hospital, {t was explained in order to save expense, or rather to charge the expense of her boarding at the hospital, a réquest was made that she be allowed to remain there until the inquiry was held by the Commis- sioners. Attorney Williamson declared ‘that as, when he called at the asylum, Dr. God- ding refused to permit him to see Mrs. Newell he, therefore, thought the order of the court ‘should be obeyed and the woman brought into court. Judge Bradley remarked that if Mrs. Newell was merely a guest at the asylum, as claimed, Dr. Godding had no right to refuse to let her be seen. Judge Bradley’s Emphasi After some discussion Dr. Godding made @ remark that was interpreted by Judge Bradley to mean that he would do his duty whatever. the order of the court might be. Bringing his hand down on the desk with considerable force Judge Bradley very plainly and emphatically informed Dr. Godding that unless he obeyed the or- der of the court without further ado he would have to take the consequences. Dr. Godding thereupon stated that if the court ordered that Attorney Williamson be per- mitted to see Mrs. Newell the order would be obeyed. ‘The hearing yesterday afternoon was concluded by Judge Bradley directing that Attorney Williamson be permitted to see Mrs. Newell, and unless the attorney ‘should decide the step to be unnecessary, that Mrs. Newell should be brought into court this morning. Mrs. Newell in Court. When court convened today Mrs. Newell was in court, accompanied by her son and an attendant. She presented a pitiful ap- pearance, her head moving constantly from side to side, while there was an ap- hensive look in her eyes. Prxttorney Williamson inaugurated the proceedings by stating that when he call- €d at the asylum yesterday afternoon he was permitted to see Mrs. Newell, but not alone. Her son was present at the inter- view, it was added, but the attorney de- Glined to proceed further if the son per- sisted in remaining in the room. Refore the son entered, it was said, Mrs. Newell. intimated that she did not desire to re- at the asylum. melms. Newell was led to the witness stand, e Judge Bradley conversed with her aie “After a talk of a few moments the court announced that Mrs. Newell had said that she desired to remain at the asylum. Judge Bradley thereupon prompt: dismissed the petition, and, entering a = carriage, Mrs. Newell was returned to the asylum. Marshal's Jury Convenes. Shortly after the proceedings before Judge Bradley were concluded, an inquiry was held by a marshal’s jury, under @ writ de lunatico inquirendo, to determine the sanity of Mrs. Newell. Deputy Marshal Robison presided, while Assistant Attorney for the District Richardson represented the missioners. CGuperintendent Godding was the first wit- ness. He stated that Mrs. Newell had been in court a short time before and that she seemed to be disturbed by her surround- ings. During the -trip to court from the asylum, the witness said, Mrs. Newell ap- pealed to him not to let her be shot. Her apprehension was, said Dr. Godding, that she might be killed. Conticuing, Dr. Godding stated that Mrs. Newell firat visited the asylum alone, seek- ing protection. She had formerly been treated at the asylum, having been there from March to May, 1888, and from Octo- ber, 1888, to March, 1889. The occasion of her last visit was Thursday, the 13th in- stant. Dr. Godding further said that in his opinion Mrs. Newell is insane, and that tho protection afforded by a hospital for the in- sane is the best for her. Mrs. Newell had, it was added, expressed a preference for St. Elizabeth's ‘lum. Assistant District Attorney Baker and Assistant Attorney for the District Rich- erdson testified as to the appearance of Mrs. Newell in court. Police Surgeons J. R. Nevitt and F. P. Vale assured the jury that after an examination they considered Mrs. Newell insane. From actions and statements of Mrs. Newell, H. H. Gilfry and Benjamin F. Platt, employes of the United States Senate, considered her in- sane, according to their testimony. Rufus I. Newell, son of Mrs. Newell, was next called to the stand. He described the ecndition of his mother. His mother told left alone. The testimony of the son closed the case of the District. The Other Side. Attorney Williamson called as his first witness Mrs. W. H. H. Kessler. She testi- fied that she has seen Mrs, Newell fre- qvently for several years past, and consid- eted her as sane as any one in the world. Alfred J. May, the next witness, declared soar attempts have been made to kill the frightened condition of Mrs. Newell this cae Tea pei ica due to medicine or Mrs. Louise A. mitted his case without argument. A juror. asked Mr. -Williamson where Mrs. Newell wouldj be taken if she were released. The reply was: ‘Dr. Helberger—a@ lady doctor—is ready to take her. Her “Will she give ates ‘Yes, 50 per cen oe 2 Willlgmsons it better,” exclaimed Mr. e jury then retir2d, and upon their turn delivered a verdict that rs. ‘Newell Was insane, and ordered her confinement in the Govarnment Asylum for the Insane. The formal commitment.of Mrs. Newell — be made by the District Commission- Mrs. Newell was acquitted last October, after a trial by jury, of a charge of libel preferred by Martha E. Roberts. The case of the latter, in connection with her dis- charge from the pension bureau, is now under investigation by a Senate committee. DISTRICT IN CONGRESS Resolution to Investigate the Making and Price of Gas, Eckington Railroad Matter Again Discussed—Other, Items of 1 Considered. terest Mr. Odell has writter. the report on the resolution to investigate the price and quality of gas in the District of Columbia. The report says: “There scems to be a general discontent with the quality of gas and with the stand- ard of measurement adopted in the act of June 6, 1896. That the price is no lower cannot be decided by the meter readings alone, for it may be that the gas contains more of deleterious matter than is author- ized in the act, and this, of course, cannot be determined by investigation upon the part of the private consumer. Recourse, therefore, is necessary to expert testimony. This can best be had through congressional action, The investigation can be of no harm to the Washfngton Gaslight Com- pany, but, on the contrary, may be of dis- tinct advantage in case it is shown that the complaints, which are so numerous, are groundless by the investigation which this report authorizes; and it may be, also, of direct advantage to the consumer in securing to him a better quality of gas than that now furnished. For these rea- sons the committe recommends the adop- tion of the resolution.” Letter From the Commissioners. Accompanying the réport is a letter from the District Commiggioners, as follows: “While the Comgpiggioners are of opin- jon that, as to thesquantity of the gas to consumers, a proper fading of the meter would protect the piblte from extortion, yet, the ordirary a n cannot know ac- curately with regal the quality of the same, and the Cogimfssioners believe that no harm to eny idee can come from the proposed investigaffon,.” The Resejution. The resolution rebités that “it is stated and Claimed in the public press of the city that it appears that fhe cost ts not re- duced to the consum>r, but, on the con- trary, the bills refifiered by said company to the consumer ere:as high, if not higher, than they “were beferd the passage of said act, and that the candlepower has not been an Teduired by tHe Pordibing ‘provision ot said act.” Phe tesdintlon provides that a ccmmittee, ‘consisting of five members ot the Hous3, be. appointed by the Speaker, with power to send for persons and papers, whose duty it shall be to investigate the said charges and all facts connected there- with, and report their conclusions to ths Hotse at the present session of the Fifty- fifth Congress; the expense attending the investigation, such as shall be necessary, to be paid out of the contingent fund of the Heuse. The Eckington Road. The House District committee held a spe- cial meeting today to consider the Ecking- tcn and Belt Line railway bill. No de- cision was reached as to the action to be taken on this Dill. The committee authorized a favorable report cn the Commissioners’ bill to reg- ulate the licensing of plumbers in the Dis- trict. To Relieve Non-Residents. Mr. Gorman today introduced in the Senate a bill for the relief of non-residents who have paid license taxes to the District of Columbia. The bill provides that the Commissioners refund to persons or firms, citizens of the several states and terri- tories, license taxes paid for agents of manufacturers or wholesale dealers non- residents of the District, such license taxes having been heretofore imposed by acts of the late legislative assembly of the District and declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the District, in con- formity to decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, as imposing taxes on internal commerce. To Sell Title. A bill was introduced in the Senate to- day by Mr. Culiom authorizing the sale of title of the United States in lot 1, square 1113, in the city of Washington, to Emma L. Yoder for $798.10, the assessed value of the said lot. To Regulate the Liquor Traffic. Mr. Gallinger has introduced in the Sen- ate a bill to regulate the lMquor traffic in the District of Columbia. It is similer to the measure reported from the Senate committee on the District of Columbia during the last Congress. ——_+2+—___—_ SUGGEST A MODIFICATION, Wheelmen.

It 1s significant that Pate's celery compound stands alone as the one remedy that 1s freely used in the ‘homes not only of clergymen, but of all Uberally as well as professionally educated men: physicians, lawyers, school teachers and others, while every other remedy purporting to accomplish equal results, 1s promptly shown the door. No class of men have the public good so dis- interestedly at heart as clergymen; none others see so intimately the affairs of so many homes. It is their business to know the sad side, sorrows and sufferings. As confidant, confessor and com- forter they learn the truth as even the physician often fails to do. ‘And clergymen recommend Paine’s celery com- pound wherever they enter a home where some member needs a general building up of the body, a puritying of the blood and a strengthening of tired nerves. Another great preacher, the Rev. 8. Domer. pastor of St. Paul's English Lutheran Cburch, Washington, D says: Washington, D. C., May 15, 1897. Wells, Richardson & Co., Gentlemen—Have taken Paine’s celery compound as a tonic, and am pleased to certify that so far a6 I have been able to test it I have found it quite satisfactory. . Yours very truly, 8. DOMER, St. Paul's Eng. Luth. Church. It cannot be repeated too is the fountain which supplies every part of the bedy. If the stomach is sick, the brain, heart, liver, bowels and kidneys are all sick. The trou- ble may all be felt in one spot; it may be in the stomach itself, or it may be in the brain, or in a rheumatic muscle. It will be felt in the we: est place. Paine’s celery compound is fully com- petent to correct all such disordered conditions of the stomach, and to restore a healthy, hearty tone that enable it to meet every demand made upon by hard-worked brain, heart 2nd nerves. A dyspeptic stomach cannot furnish sweet, healthy ehyme, as the digested food is called, but if acids and poisonous gases, and the brain and nerves thus get poison instead of food. It is pot focd swallowed, but focd well digested that pro. duces flesh and blood. Paine’ ery compound disposes the body to teke on flesh. It makes the breath sweeter, the strength more enduring, the body plumper and the spirits better. Dyspepticn and nervous, sickly persons, whose whole lives are a failure, both as to enjoyment ‘and usefulness, ought to learn how closely debility, aches and pains depend on their ge a run-down condition, and that the sensible, lneting cure can only come frem building up their gen: eral health and constitution. This is the grand mission of Paine’s celery compound. It oa neuralgia, rheumatism, stomach troubles, blood diseases and headaches by this enlightened, broad treatment. Pure blood and plenty of it, qu satisfactorily fed nerves and a condition of the brain that makes sound, sweet sleep a snfe- guard against all nervous treubles come when Paine’s celery compound is used. If you are “played out,”’ to use a forcible stre +t phrase, can’t digest, can't work and have lost courage. Paine's celery compound will show ttself to be the best friend you ever bad. It will enable you to forget your stomach, and will do for you what It has done for so many others—make you again a healthy, active man or women, INSURGENTS’ CAPITAL TAKEN. Rumor From Spanish Source of Vic- tory at Esperanza. A dispatch from Spanish sources in Ha- vana yesterday snys: General Castellanos has takea possession of the village of Es- peranza, in the Sierre de Cubitas, where the insurgent government had its location. During the stubborn resistance made by the insurgents their government escaped. “The next day, continuing his operations, the same general defeated a body of 2,500 insurgents, who were coming to the aid of the government, scattering them in all di- rections and killing fifty-nine. ‘ “CONGOSTO.” Senor de Lome considers the capture of the insurgent government's capital of in- caiculable importance from a military point of view, as the forces of Gomez are now without support, and the Spanish troops will hold tae mountairs which have hith- erto been the chief refuge of the insurgents when hard pressed. But the moral effect on: those who have been holding out against autonomy under the belief that the insurgent government was indestructible, he thinks, will he seen in a marked degree as soon as the fall of Cubitas becomes generally known in the rebel camps. ‘This disastrous defeat, coming so quickly upon the surrender of Juan Masso and his followers yesterday, he declares, leaves no doubt as to the speedy establishment of in Cuba. Another Havana dispatch, however, gives just the opposite account of the above bat- tle. It was claimed as a most decided vic- tory for the insurgents. +24 _____ Azarias Society Debate.
