GETS
HIS RELEASE
Justice Voorhees, Orders Him
Out of Asylum.

Freehold, Aug. 24-Deciding that the
afidavits of physicians in the papers
upon which James NJ. Allgor, of Rum
son, of 'Fspite fence fame, to the
state asylum at Trenton, six weeks ago,
were not sufficiently specific, Justice
Willard P. Voorhees, declared the court
without jurisdiction to proceed with a
jury hearing set for yesterday to de-
termine whether Mr.. Allgor is legally
insane, and ordered his release. In rem
dering his decision, Justice Voorhees,
said:
''It appears that Mr.. Allgor is dan
gerously near the point when it will be
required to have him restrained, and
the t~eehnicalities which operated in his
favor in these proceedings should lead
him to be very careful of his actions in
the future, lest the state or some third
party, if not his family, slould be COM
PEELED to take legal action to have him
declared ~insane.'
Mr.. AIlgor was in court with state
hospital attaches.
A few weeks ago P. Hall Packer, a
former mayor of Sea Bright, complain.
ed that Mr.. Allgor was insane, and upon
the certiication of Drs. John w. Ben
nett and Harry E. Shaw, of Long
Branch, Allgor was taken to the asylum.
Mr.. Allgor's family engaged William
J. Leonard, an Atlantic Highlands law.
yer, and the latter brought habeas cor
pus proceedings. Viee-Chancellor Gar
%rison, on Tuesday, decided that Allgor
could not legally be held an inmate
of the asylum, but left the final dis
position of the matter to Justice Voor-
hees.
Francis H. MCGEE, of the attorney
generals Office, appeared to uphold the
validity of the proceedings and Thorn
as P. Fay, of Long Branch, appeared
for Mr.. Packer. Alleor's counsel main
tanned that the allegations Of the ply
sicians who conducted the examination
were not specific, merely r%eciting that
they were "of the opinion" that Mr..
Allgor was insane, that he was "vio-
lent at times,' etc.
