Wishes to Institute Hnbeas Corpus
Proceedings 10 secure His Release
From the Government Hospital Tor
the Insanc-Tbe story of His En-
animation and Commitment.

joseph C. Creamer, the New York attor-
ney who was committed to st. Elizabeth's
Asylum for the Insane in March last by
Justice Cole. was a visitor at the City Hall
Yesterday. He was accompanied by one
of the asylum attendants. Mr.. Dreamer
was taken into custody at the request of
Attorney General Griggs, who filed pc
tition in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict, in which he stated that he believed
the former vas of unsound mind and was a
dangerous person to be at large. When
the investigation came on Nr. Creamer
conducted his own defence. 1t is said he
enjoyed a large practice at his profession
in New York before he came TO Washing
ton.
At the hearing before Justice Cole Nj.
Dreamer examined all the witnesses who
testified against him, including the physl-
clans appointed by the court to test his
mental condition.
Mr.. Creamer stated yesterday that he
wished to institute proceedings in habeas
corpus. on his own behalf to secure his
release from the asylum. He made his
intentions known TO Fred O'Connell, clerk
Of Equity Court No. 3 who informed him
that habeas corpus proceedings were in
b stItuted In the criminal branches OF the
court Mr. Creamer said that it was diff
ferent In New York and asked TO see the
presiding justice. He was shown TO JUS
tice Barnard's private room and held a
brief conference with him. Mr.. Dreamer
left the City Hall without calling on the
clerk of the criminal branch of the Su-
preme Court of the District in relation TO
the alleged object of his visit.
The investigation which resulted in the
commitment of Mr.. Creamer TO the asylum
was both interesting and amusing Al
though he was nervous and excited. he put
some very puzzling questions TO the wit
nesses, especially to the physicians. Each
one OF the latter who testified he asked,
In testing their qualifications as experts
on Insanity, If they had ever read
"oomah," or had ever heard Of the book.
Mr. Cfsamer also referred to the physi-
clans who testified concerning the unbal-
anced condition of his mind as members
Of the kindergarten class" IN medicine.
Attorney General Griggs, who testified
concerning Mr. Creamer's mental condi-
ton, stated that he knew him in New
Jersey and recognized him as a highly ed
ucated and cultured gentleman. He be-
lieyed, however, that Mr.. Creamer's mind
was very much unbalanced. Mr.. Dreamer
undertook TO cross examine the Attorney
General. During the course OF the exami-
nation he referred to Mr. Griggs as John. 4"
and when he had concluded said. "thafll

According to ii. gibson Siafdner, a
Washington correspondents:
At the close OF his first term as
speaker, Gen. Henderson finds himself
Invested Of a good share of the popular-
ity which he had when he began. A
number of things have contributed to
this result. In the first place his efforts
to defeat the s5,Oo0.0o0 appropriation for
the ST. Louis celebration of the LOUISE
ana purchase centennial antagonized a
large number of people who Mere inter-
ested in securing it. The fact that it
was finally passed in spite of hlm by
lacking il to a senate bill. does not soft
ell the feeling against him. Others We're
antagonized during the Porto Rican tar
lift fight when he used oppressive meth
DDS to. coerce members; and at the SANE
period Speaker Henderson aroused the
indignation of the entire senate by writ
ing a public letter calling them towards
and insinuating that they are corrupt.
Not satisfied With this Henderson aft
fronted the president and the secretary
of war by telling them TO their face that
lie was opposed TO the bill for thu pro.
motion of Gems. Miles, and Corbin. and
did not propose to ALLOW il to become a
law This happened al a conference a;

passing the bill. In this case also the
measure was put thru in spite of him.
These are few Of the causes which
