 Her Freedom
Judge Burpee Grants Petition of
 Milford Woman For Release From Insane Asylum

New Haven, Dec. S.-Judge Burpee has ordered the release from the Connecticut hospital for the insane, at Middletown, of Mrs. Cornelia B.. Isbell. of Milford. His decision was handed down yesterday afternoon and followed habeas corpus proceed ings to obtain her release, brought by Catherine Gidney of Milford.
 Mrs. Isbell was released this morn ing and she was irnmedia tely taken to Milford, where for the present she will remain as a guest at the home of friends, later to start housekeep- ing on her own account.
 The decision was quite generally expected by Mrs. Isbell's friends. She was committed to the insane retreat in 1909 at the instigation of her son, c. c. Isbell of New York, who was made conservatOr of her property The commitment followed the death of her husband, following a fall and at the time there was no objection to the commitment except upon the part of Mrs. Isbell herself.
 She has continually written to friends in Milford, begging that they take steps to procure her release She complained in these letters tha t as she could not use her own money, it was difficult for her to make a move. Finally some of her women friends in Milford got together and Mss Gidney retained Attorney George E. Beers. who began habeas corpus proceedings.

McNamaras Rebuked
New Haven Trades Council
 Goes on Record Against the Dynamiters

At a largely attended meeting last evening the New Haven Trades Coun- cil, representing the allied trades un- ions of that city. went on record as condemning the McNamara brothers labor.
 The action came at the end of long meeting at which many routine matters were discussed. No set reso- lutions were adopted but vote was passed that a committee be appointed by President O'Meara, which should draw up a resolution expressing the councils condemnation of the perpe- traitors of the Los Angeles and other explosions.
 The council also passed a vote of thanks to Mayor Fisher, of Middle town, for his public statement that the McNamaras could not be consid- |. cred, in any sense, as representative of union labor.
 It was voted to express disapproval of the United States governments s proposal to print national currency bills instead of having them done by the hand roller process as at present The council believes that the printed bills would be more easily counter feited and in addition a higher class of labor is necessary under the pres ent process.
 The Hartford Central Labor. union on Wednesday night passed the fol- lowing resolution:
 "We the delegates of the Connec> ticut Federation of Labor, in annual convention assembled, hereby em- phatically denounce the recent hor- Tible outrage at Los Angeles, Califor- mia. which caused the wanton and sudden death of score of human beings and also the destruction of val uable property. We deplore the fiend- ish act We extend to the relatives of the unfortunate victims our heart felt sympathy in this hour of their sudden bereavement and express the hope that the author of this murder ous outrage will meet with swift pun ishment for this most dastardly act"

STATE OFFICIALS ORDER ARREST OF NORWALK
 YOUTH AS DESERTER

Norwalk, Dec. S-Floyd Byington, ef Norwalk, is missing and all efforts of local authorities to locate him have failed. He has been gone about two weeks. Hartford military officials or dered his arrest for desertion from the c. A. C., of Norwa1k. Byington owed his company $20 for fines for non-at- tendance at drills and it is this that is believed to have led him astray. He was 20 years old and the son of C. Irving Byington, who figured in the citv's quo wsrranto proceedings recently and who lost his position as street commissioner as the result of the case Strained family relations are supposed to have enabled Byington to decide on leaving Norwalk.
