Ryan is Released

{ Upon writ of habeas corpus,
Alfred G. Ryan appeared before
Chancellor Nicholson this morning
and argument for and against his
release from the Ferris Industrial
School was begun by l.. l. Handy
and J. Frank Bali and D. J. Rhein-
hardt, respectively. i
Alfred H. Ryan and Anna M.
Ryan, parents of the boy, were in
court as also were the directors of
the school. Mr.. Handy's applica-
ton for the release of the boy was
based upon three grounds: first, I
that the committing magistrate
was utterly void of jurisdiction in
the case; second, that the statute
under which the boy was committed
was not strictly followed; third,
that the commitment was SO defec-
tive as to be absolutely null and
void. In course of his ahle argu-
ment, Mr.. Handy said that the COM
mittment in the case showed that
Ryan had been committed to the
"Ferris Reform School" an institu-
tion which did not exist at the time
the commitment was issued. Mr..
Handy also argued that the COM
hitting magistrate, George d. Me-
dill, of Newark, Del, had ordered
the boy to the Industrial School
without trying him on the charge
of incorrigibility preferred by his
father. The boy never appeared
before the magistrate yet was adj
judged guilty of crime and COM
mitted to the school. Such COM
mittment, Mr.. Handy said, was
without parallel in the history OF
the State, was wholly illegal and
therefore could not act as barrier
to the boys liberty and his parents
happiness. The court decided the
process of commitment was illegal
and Ryan was ordered released
from tine institution.
