POLICE COURT.
Not to Increase Detail of Police


1t was decided by Commissioner Macfar-
land yesterday. after a conference with
Judge Kimball Of the Police Court and with
Maj. Sylvester, not to increase by ten men the
force of policemen to guard against the es-
cape of prisoners from the temporary Po-
lice Court In this line Major Sylvester
recently wrote a letter to the Commission
ers stating that, in view of the smallness
Of the police force and the demands upon
1t, such a number of men could not be
spared
Judge Kimball withdrew his request yes
terday for the detail of policemen. and later,
in company with Major Sylvester, Building
Inspector Ashford and Captain Harding,
made an inspection of the new quarters of
the Police Court, to decide what changes
could be made to better guard the prts-
oners. Subsequently the four officials re-
assembled in the Office Of Commissioner
Mcfarland. and 1t was arranged that In
disposing of cases the Police Court judges
shall have only two three prisoners in
the dock at one time, and by this means
reduce the force Of policemen and bailifrs
required to see to 1t that none make sue
cessful breaks for liberty.
Until the new police court is completed
the records will be stored in the vaults at
the District building, so that they may be
protected against fire.

SHAFFER RELEASED.
Was Confined as Patient at st. Eliza
beth's Asylum

Justice Barnard has gone even farther
than Justice Wright in the matter of re-
leasing alleged insane soldiers from the
Government Hospital for the Insane on the
ground of illegal commitment, In the case
OF James l.. Shaffer, a veteran, whose petit
ton for release on that ground was granted
this morning. When the matter was
brought up in court a short time ago JUS
t1ce Wright rendered a decision that gave
the government authorities time to have
Willis legally judged insane, an opportu-
nifty of which they took advantage, and
after the time limit had expired Justice
Wright released Willis The case of Shat
fer came up for original hearing this morn
ing, and on the evidence adduced Justice
Barnard ordered the release of the man
forthwith.
shaffer is native of Pennsylvania and
Is siXty-four years of age. Becoming in
capacitated for manual labor he applied for
and obtained admission to the home for
disabled volunteer soldiers at Dayton. Ohio
few years ago. He had been there
short time when he was sent to ST. Eliza
beth's under a commitment signed by NJ.
I. Mcmahon, president of the board of
trustees of the home. He was treated for
mental trouble at the government hospital
and was released and returned to the SOL
diers' home of which he had been an in
mate. Within few months he was again
sent to the hospital for the insane and
after detention a short time was again
returned to the home. Within a compare
lively short time he was sent back to the
hospital and again returned to the home.
He was sent to the hospital for the
last time about six months ago. Proceed
ings for release on the ground that he was
not insane and had never been adjudged
insane by a jury We're instituted in the
Supreme Court of the District last week
through Attorneys Forrest and Edwards.
and the matter came before Judge Barnard
for hearing this morning. The evidence
produced satisfied the court as to the JUS
tice of the old soldiers claim, and an order
was signed directing his release from the
