EFFORTS BEING MADE
TO RELEASE MCCARTHY
Man Who Served Term in
Prison Now Declared to
Be of UnSound Mind.

An attempt to intervene in behalf Of
William B. Mccarthy of Alaska, who is
an inmate Of Howard Hall, the criminal
ward of the Government Hospital for the
Insane. by Robert v. La Dow. superin.
tendent Of federal prisons, may result IN
the release Of Mccarthy. providing the
experts at the asylum decide that he is
now sane.
Judge James Wickersham, delegate in
Congress from Alaska, before whom Nc
Carthy was tried and convicted and SEN
fenced to ten years in prison in 1900. fol-
lowing a one-thousand-dol.ar robbery by
Mccarthy and w. A. Bigelow In the
Yukon Valley region. said today that Il
McCarthys behavior was good he saw nc
reason why the prisoner was not released
His term expired In 1910.
Judge WickershaIn sentenced Bigelow to
fifteen years imprisonment, and in 1919
the latter was pardoned by President
Taft.
"Bigelow was the chief conspirator Of
the two" Judge Wickersham said today,
and If he was released / don't see why
Mccarthy should not be released. l have
not had time to take up the matter and
do not know what / shall do about his
case
Escapes, But Is Captured.
With eight other men. Mccarthy bur-
rowed his way under the federal prison
at McNeils Island. San Francisco, and
escaped. but was captured by a posse
and returned to the prison with bull
let in his leg.
Mccarthy complains that the other
men didn't lose any more than three
months of their time, but that he was
sent to Fort Leavenworth in 1906 and
his sentence should have expired
(minus good behavior time) in 1910.
When his term expired he was adj
judged insane and has since been an
inmate Of the Government Hospital for
the Insane.
Supt White Of the Government Hos
pital for the Insane declared today
that Mccarthy is of unsound mind and
would not be released until he was
pronounced sane.
In the meantime the Department of
Justice will investigate his record and
ascertain why he should not be re-
leased.
Mr. La Dow, who is absent from the
city. will take up Mc0Carthy's case
when he returns He will be at Fort
Leavenworth for a while, and while
there will look into the prison records
for information regarding the case.

thinks he needs one thing another never OPP

The plain fact is that Diabetes. although sup
posed to be incurable, Is now being cured every
day in people Of middle age and over. We
marvel that physicians and hospitals can be con-
tent to see patients slowly succunlb under CO.

recover by the simple Of mild infusion
under which specific gravity and sugar begin TO
decline in most cases within twenty days.
There Is no uncertainty as to the results, for
the sugar can be weighed and the specific grav-
ty recorded and the results noted from day to
