in belief that the injunction had lapsed

fine of 800 was imposed. Director
General Davis was held less directly re-

Quietly Taken to the State Hospital at
Farnhurst by Constable Duhadaway.
The Riley -Lattomus imbroglio, about
which the people of Townsend and the
surrounding country have been excited
for period of 10 days, threatens to de-
Yelop into serious proportions.
The latest phase of the complicated
case is the incarceration of old Riley in
the Delaware State Hospital for the In
sane at Farnhurst. This step was taken
last Thursday, and was so quietly done
that not even E. II. Cochran, attorney
tor Riley, was appraised of the fact until
to-day. When Mr.. Cochran did hear OF
1t he was mad.
The strapgest part of the proceedings
was the Commitment Of Riley to the
asylum by Squire John w. Naudain of
Townsend, there being no law on the
statute book allowing magistrate to
commit an alleged insane person 10 an
asylum In this manner, At least, that
Is the opinion of Chancellor Wolcott, to
whom the matter was mentioned this
morning, and the same opinion was ex-
pressed by Deputy Attorney-General
Branch II. Giles.
When Mr.. Cochran learned of the
state of affairs he at once took steps to
have Riley released from Farnhurst. An
application has been made TO Chief JUS
tice Lore for a writ of habeas corpus,
and tits altogether likely that Riley will
be free before many hours. Mr.. Coch-
ran went to the hospital yesterday
to secure his affidavit to present 10 the
Chief Justice, and the young attorney
is sanguine that his client will soon be
released.
