Cowles ordered Miss Sparrow committed
to the Michigan asylum. Notice of APP
peal was filed, and the case, which has
been most stubbornly contested for the
last two months will run the gauntlet of
higher courts.
The hearing was the most sensational
ever held in Michigan. Miss Sparrow
charged her brother with whipping her
numerically, and also asserted that he
and other members Of the family perse-
cuted her constantly. The commission
finds that these charges are without
foundation in fact, being pure delusions,
and asserts that the treatment accorded
her by her brothers and sisters has been
extraordinarily kind.
