LAPORTE Ond) December "a
Carroll Roberts, in 1889, was a farmer
near Adrian, owning a large farm and
with money in the bank His father
and one brother, H. Brant Roberts,
were also wealthy farmers. In that
year an insanity inquest was held re-
sulting in sending Carroll Roberts to
the insane asylum at Kalamazoo and
the appointment of guardian for his
estate His father died, leaving will
which gave all his property to his son,
H. Brant Roberts, except a small an
nuity left to Carroll The will was set
aside on contest.
In September Carroll Roberts escaped
from the asylum. Expert alienists say
no evidence of mental defect in him has
been found. One physician, who tes-
titled as an expert in the insanity pro-
ceedings, says he was misled, and that
his evidence was a mistake. Roberts
will claim his share of his fathers es-
tate and will ask to be restored to the
full status of a sane man. He charges
