IS MRS GRASSNAH INSANE 7
An Effort to Get Her Out Of
the Asylum Where Her
Husband Put Her.

Former Judge Hoffman made an APP
plication to Justice Lippincott, yesterday
afternoon, for a writ Of habeas corpus to
have Mrs. Meta Gassmann released from
the lunatic asylum at Snake Hill. JUS
tice Lippincott granted the writ and APP
pointed Supreme Court COMMISSIONS
John a. Nugent to take testimony. Conn
missioner Nugent will take the testimony
in the General Sessions Court room
Thursday morning.
Mrs. Gassmann is the wife Of Patrol
man Jacob Gassmann of the Third pre-
cinct. About two years ago she became
a regular attendant at the services Of the
Faith Cure believers, at Mount Zion
Sanctuary, foot Of Chapel avenue. Green
Vile, and also at the Church of the First
Born, in Bramhall avenue, the winter
quarters Of the Faith Curists. Mrs. Gass-
man became a believer in the doctrines
of the sect, and not only that but she
became an enthusiast. She tried to con-
vert her husband. That proved a difficult
task, but she persevered. and her hus-
band finally became convinced that she
must be insane and took steps to have
her committed to the asylum. DR.. Con-
verse and another physician decided after
examination that Mrs. Gassmann was
suffering from religious mania, and on
their report Police Justice Nevin COM
mitted her to the asylum on April 6.
Her husband. who has been on the POI
lice force for about twenty years. drawing
his salary regularly. and who owns a
house and lot, declared that he was un-
able to pay for her maintenance and she
was committed as an insane pauper. Mrs.
Gassmann's sisters nave instituted the
present proceedings to secure her release.
They contend that she is not insane. but
simply a religious.enthusiast. They also
claim that if she .sere insane her hiisb1nd
is amply able to pay for her mainIen-
ance instead of making her a charge on
the county and branding her as q paupes.
She had 500 of her own money, they say,
before she was committed.
People on Jersey City Heights who
know Mrs. Gassmann. say that she WAS
in the habit of stopping people on the
street and talking religion to. them. She
would gather children about her and ak
to them about God. Whether that Is IN
evidence of insanity or not Justice LIP
pineott will probably decide when the
testimony to be taken on Thursday is
submitted to him.

HERBERT HAS A HEARING.
No Strong Testimony to Connect
Him with the Weastel1 Fire.

.John Herbert, accused of setting fire to
the stable belonging to Milkman John
Weastell, in the rear of No. 15l Month
cello e on August 10, was arraigned
for examination on the charge of arson,
in the Second Criminal Court, this morn
ing. He was represented by Counsellor
E. K. Seguine. Colonel Bedle represented
MI. WeasteIl. A large number Of Wit
nesses were Examined, but no definite evil
dence was produced to fasten the CRIME
upon the defendant: The evidence against
him was circumstantiaL Several. VIII
nesses testified that they had heard Her
bert threaten to get square with Weast-
eli. The case was still on this afternoon.
The fire which led to Herberts arrest
was the fourth that had occurred IN tne
same stable within three weeks. On the
night of this fire a false alarm was rung
for a supposed fire which took No. 10
engine and company some distance away
from the n-eighborhood. After the Weast-
ell stable fire had been ex~tinguished Mrs.
Weastell noticed a man acting suspicious
" across the street from her home she
notified Private Waterman Hennessey,
who arrested Herbert.
Herbert was still in WeastelIs employ
and was to have shown up at the stable
for duty at one O'Clock. He was booked
bv the police, at first, as a disorderly per-
son. but after investigation they believed
they were warranted in changing the
charge to arson.

Dive Closed at Once.

Margaret Mullins. a cook, n her son
James. a waiter in Kennedy's concert sa-
loon on Fourteenth street, Hoboken. We're
arraigned before Recorder Stanton this
morning charged with being drunk and
disorderly. The complainant in the case
was Dennis Haverty, a special policeman
employed in the concert garden. After
listening to the testimony of Mrs. Muller
and her son, the Recorder not only dis
missed the prisoners, but scored the
special policeman, and the police for al
owing such a notorious div as Kennedy
conducts to exist. It Is only a short time
frequent K~ennedy's place, followed a
tugboat captain, hit him with Il piece of
lead pipe, and stole $500 from him. They
were caught and are now serving SEN
fences for thai offense.

all the walters employed by Kennedy ara
professional thieves, and that they were
driven out Of Gloucester, n. j. She testi-
fed that Special Policeman Haverty as
sists the walters and Actresses in
pulling the leg, of any person who en-
a man entered the place with 5000, and
the walters and Actresses got the great
drugged drinks are served, and thai the
concert hall is a desperate place.
Recorder Stanton turned to Acting Chief
Hayes, who was in the court room, and
and told him that if Kennedy's place was
not closed within "a hours he would speak
to the Mayor. The Recorder also gave
Haverty a severe rebuke. saying that he
is a disgrace to the uniform he wears.
