Neighbors Say They Con-
sidered Women High
ly Intelligent.

Testimony favorable 10 Mrs. Caroline
+. Corbett and her daughter. CorneIia,
who say they are sane ana should be
released from the Government Hospital
for the Insane. where they have been
incarcerated for more than TWO years,
was given by two physicians and a
number of former neighbOrs who ap-
peared at tho hearing before Justice
Gould IN Equity Court, No. ., this
morning. This il the fifth attempt on
the part of the mother and daughter 10
secure their liberation from the institu-
tion. 1t is not likely that the case will
be concluded this afternoon, because
counsel for the women has summoned a
large number of witnesses who lived
in the same neighb0rhood as the plain
tiHs.
Mrs Elizabeth CuIberson. wife of a
Presbyterian minister, said she not only
did not consider them insane, but be-
leved them 10 be highly intellectual
and cultured She stated on the stand
that Dr. Teunis $. Hamlln. pastor OF the
Church OF the Covenant. told her that
he had Mrs. and Miss COrbett placed
In the hospital That he had noticed
her (Mrs. CulbersOn) be1TieudiHg the
two women and threatened 10 have her
kept out of the Government Hospital
for the Insane If she did not cease tax
ing sides with them and caring for
them.
The same statement was made on the
stand by Mrs. Mary b. Graves, who
has conducted religious services a. the
hospital for six years, and says she
noticed that Mrs. and Miss Corbett
We're sane and were far above the aver
age in mental ability.
Dr Charles NJ. EmmOns, secretary of
the MedicO-Legal Society of the District
testified that at the time ne Ia <ed with
The two women they gave a good reason
for not going outside of their home
They said they had no clothes and no
money and preferred To remain indoors.
DR.. EmmOns said he did not believe in
sanity was hereditary i'm the family.
Justice Gould did not allow DIT. Hodges
to qualify as an expert DR. Hodges
said he found grounds for the delusiOns
OF the two women. He said in view OF
the condition Of the Corbett estate the
statements of the women about money
were not without foundation.
Mrs. Elizabeth Young, who lived next
door TO Mrs. COTbett and her daughter
for two years and seven months. told OF
conversations with the two women. in
which they told of family troubles. She
said they did not at any time talk OF
pension from the United States. She
said Mrs Corbett and her daughter were
both charming women and highly intel
lecuaL
Testimony was next heard from Mrs.
Belle Culberson, of 200 Seventh street
southeast
She said when she saw how intelligent
the two women were she wondered why
they should be confined in the asylum

nj the school buildings was made by
the gentlemen. The visit OF the state

the school management, who a few
days ago visited the governor and 9TH
er prominent state officers for the pur-
pose of securing an appropriation for
the buying of new furniture, carpets,
linoleum, and other necessary improve
ments at the institution. Governor
Cutler and Major Breeder were much

and are doing well in the trades de-
partments, also In their scholastic
studies. The gentlemen were satis-
fled that the furniture, etc, asked for
by the board are absolutely necessary,
as the present furnishings are badly
worn, especially the carpets and limo
lium. and the management was as
sured that IL would receive as large
an appropriation as can possibly be
made at the present time for these
improvements, In inspecting the
buildings the visiting gentlemen noted
the lack of light IN some of the apart
ments. and that matter was also dis
cussed. 1t WAS decided to put In
several extra windows, so that more
light can be had, a number of other
small improvements are also to be con-
sidered. The governor and attorney
