WOMAN'S PLEA TO
FREE MOTHER FAILS.
Mrs. HirshfieId, Lawyer, OPP
posing Relatives, Says Par
. ent's Life Is at Stake.

Mrs. Ruth Ashley Hirshfleld, a
member of the bar in New York, who
lives at So Walnut street north, East
Orange, pleaded with Supreme Court
Justice Gavegan in New York yester-
day to permit her to keep her aged
mother. Mrs. Sarah ID. Ashley, in her
own home instead of sending her
back to the Riverside sanItarium at
Astoria, l.. l.. where Mrs. Ashley mas
been confined since she was adJudged
incompetent some months ago. She
said her mothers life was at stake;
Mrs, Hirshfield and her sister, Mrs.
Mabel Bonner, Of Portland, Me-, are
irving TO set aside proceedings
brought by their brother, Charles ..
Ashley, under which their mother was
adjudged incompetent. Mrs. Ashley
was committed to the sanitarium
after she had been found at the
PENNSYLVANIA station in a dazed con-
dition Mrs. Hirshfield insisted that
her mothers condition was due to eX-
citement over finding that she couid
not go directly to her daughter 8
home at East Orange on Pennsyi-
vania train she boarded in Phliadei-
phia.
When Mrs. Hirshfield applied re-
Gently to have her mother adjudged
sane and released from the sani-
tarlum, Justice Gavegan said he
would investigate the case thorough
ly, and in the meantime permitted
Mrs. Hirshfleld to take her mother
to her own home over the holidays.
She was directed to have her mother
back at the sanitarium yesterday.
Instead of taking the aged woman
back to Rivercrest, Mrs. Hirshfield
presented affidavits indicating that 1t
will cost Mrs. Ashley her life to send
her back for detention. She said
that since her mother went home
with her on December "a she has
completely changed and her mental
condition is sound.
DR.. w. Webb Cranberry, of East
Orange, said that he has examined
Mrs. Ashley daily for the last three
days, and says that her weakness
has increased by reason of her re-
straint. He said that home environ
ments only are needed to keep her
normal. DR.. Cranberry said that if
Mrs. Ashley is separated from her
daughter and grandson now the ex-
element is likely to bring on a
stroke Of apoplexy.
David Bingham, president of the
Orange Bureau of Associated Char
tiles for twenty years, said he has
talked with Mrs. Ashley, and be-
lieves at would be inhuman to de-
prive this woman of that love and
and place her where these are
largely lacking"
Justice Gavegan decided that Mrs.
Ashley must be returned to the sani-
tarium at once.
