OPPOSE Release OF
MAN FROM HOSPITAL

In Superior Court today Judge
William S. Prickett asked for an order
Of formal discharge Of Thomas Fran
els from the Delaware State Hospital
for the Insane.
DR.. William II. Hancker testified that
Francis had been an inmate OF the
hospital since March 18, 1916, but had
recovered sufficiently to be discharged
without danger to the public.
Upon the testimony OF DIR. W.
II. Kraemer last spring, Francis
was acquitted by Jury after
he had been in the workhouse for two
months to await trial on a charge OF
assault with intent to commit murder
He had taken dinner with friends,
and about the time he was leaving he
pulled out a revolver and fired at some
OF the persons in the room.
Deputy Attorney General Chaytor
opposed the discharge OF Francis from
the institution at this time
Judge Boyce said the court felt the
application for the release should be
postponed for at least six months. and
this order was made.

militia Officers
Ask TO Be Retired
Colonel Townsend, Adiutant
Dillon and Chaplain
Stephenson to Leave
Guard
ACTION IS DUE TO
NEW FEDERAL LAW

Colonel Theodore Townsend, OF
Milford; Adjutant Clarence NJ Dillon,
of this city. and Chaplain r, X. Ste
Dhenson, OF Milford, officers OF the
First Regiment. Organized Militia Of
Delaware. have sent request to Ad-
jutant-Generai l. Pusey Wickersham.
that they be placed on the retired
list. General Wickersham. when seen
today, stated that he had not acted
on the request of the three officers as
yet.
All three Of these officers have been
In the State Militia service for many
years. The Rev. r. X. Stephenson
has seen the shortest service OF the
three, he having succeeded the late
Chaplain Munson, about ten years
ago. Captain Dillon has been o mem
Der Of the militia for twenty-five
years, and Colonel Townsend, for
more than a quarter Of a century. The
latter has been colonel of the regi-
ment for nearly twenty-five years.
Under a recent act OF Congress the
War Department will not recognize
militia regiment unless It has twelve
companies and consequently will not
recognize regimental officers. The
Delaware militia is composed of but
two battalions OF four companies
each.
Il was because OF this fact that tho
three officers asked TO be retired after
having giving many years OF service.
Colonel Townsend and Captain Dillon
stood by the militia for many years
when It was a hard matter to main
tain an organization.
General Wicltersham. in speaking OF
the request Of the officers today, said
They have been faithful and valuable
officers and only request to be placed
on the retired list because OF the
operation OF the new Federal law" He
did not say when he would take Off
cial action on their request
