Mrs. ISbeII Proves
 A Good Witness Judge Burpee Reserves Decision on WOman's Release From
 Insane Retreat SHE ACCUSES HER CWN SON Sophy Kritchnan Wrote One of Her Letters to a Milford
 Friend.

New Haven, Dec 7.-The fate Of Mrs. Cornelia B. Isbell, of Milford, who seeks release from the Middle town insane asylum, now rests with Judge Lucien F. Burpee, of the su- perior court. All of the evidence in the habeaS corpus proceedings brought by Catherine Gidney of Mill ford to secure Mrs IsbelPs release is now in and after hearing brief argu ments from Judge Platt of Milford, who opposes the release, and from Attorney Beers, who acts for Miss Gidney, the court has taken the pa- pers and reserved decision. Mrs. Isbell was on the witness stand for over an hour yesterday afternoon, and, as one of the court attaches put it, "she was the best witness pro- duced by either side, She told her story connectedly and calmly, only occasionally showing flashes of re- sentiment against the treatme ment of her son, who, she claims, keeps her in the asylum in order that he might have more of her property when she dies
 Mrs. IsbelI Testifies. Mrs. Isbell told the history of her family troubles, under the guidance of her counsel, and then told why she was dissatisfied with her condi- tions in the asylum. She said she
 
 believe she should be compelled to stay in an insane asylum when she had property enough to pay for her maintenance elsewhere.
 Attorney Beers asked her to identi- fy some letters which she had sent to people in Milford, and she did SO. Then Attorney Beers read these let ,ters to the court. In one of them, to Mrs. Gibbons. she said her son had no heart. The letter was ra- tional and spoke of the weather and of mutual friends. In another let ter-to Mrs. Monroe--she referred to the fact that she missed her home and her home surroundings very much, and she added as postscript. If l had my own money could get a good lawyer and get out of here"
 Sophy Kritchman Wrote One.
 When Attorney Beers turned the witness over to Judge Platt for cross examination the latter asked:
 Did you write any of those letters yourself ?'' St
 Mrs. Isbell looked at the letters which Judge Platt spread out before her and hesitating she said:
 ''I think I wrote that one,' select ing one of the letters.
 Are you sure?'
 Did you write any other of these letters?''
 T don't think I did"
 Dc you remember who wrote any of these letters for you?"
 Mrs. Isbell picked out one of the letters and said:
 T rem member who wrote that one"
 Who wrott it?'
 "Sophy Kritchman.''
 Further talk about the letters was cut short by Judge Burpee's sugges- tion that he did not understand that Attorney Beers claimed anything more for the letters than that they contained Mrs. Isbelrs thoughts, not her words.

The passing of MT. Macdonald to the eternal shores brings a deep pain to all young men with whom he was associated. From his brain flowed many thoughts which will serve as inspiration through our lives. I speak for mum berless young men fortunate enough to have felt his intimate in fuence, and the keen interest he had for those whose steps were toward maturity. Deep sadness follows his death, but his memory will live as an everlasting fragrance
