New Hampshire Home.


Hartford, Aug. 1.-Charles ii. Hoyt
has been released from the retreat foil
the insane to which he was committed 81
week ago. Judge Freeman of the pro-
bare court gave his decision early on the
application for revocation of the com
mitment. He ordered that Mr.. Hoyt be
transferred from the retreat to the care
of some physician to be selected by his
friends.
The application for the removal of Mr..
iloyt from the retreat was made by
George II. Dickinson, who came from
Atlanta in the interest of the playwright.
In his writ presented to Judge Freeman
Mr.. Dickinson set forth that Mr. Hoyt
had been taken to the retreat through
fraud. Witnesses were called to show
that the playwright had been induced to
leave his home i'll Charlestown, N. H.,
under false representations.
Judge Freeman said that he would not
take up the question of Mr.. Hoyt's
sanity. He said there appeared to be no
ioubt but that he was mentally deranged.
tie took into consideration, however, the
fact that the committed man had a good
home and that he might live there safely
under the care of those whom his friends
might select.
Many citizens from Charlestown, n.
H., went to Hartford TO aid Mr.. Dickin-
son IN his efforts TO secure the release.
All were ready to testify that Mr.. Hoyt
had not been taken from his home under
the full process Of the law. Few of them
however, had an opportunity to testify.
