Miss O'Reilly in Court
In Fight for Freedom
She Tells Story of Incarceration
i'm Sanitarium i'm Boston
and Hor Ea~a,,a
and Her Escape

Miss Elizabeth Boyle O'Reilly, author
OF books and magazine stories and
daughter Of John Boyle O'Reilly, Irish
poet, was before Supreme Court Justice
Wagner yesterday on writ of habeaa
corpus, seeking her release from the
psycopathic ward Of Bellevue Hospital,
where she was committed for observa-
tion last Thursday by Magistrate Cor
rigan. Personally and through her at
torney, Benjamin F. Foster, Miss
O'Reilly insisted that she was not In
sane and that her commitment was
duo to family differences. She was
committed to Bellevue on the request
of her sister, Mrs. Agnes Boyle Hook
ing, wife Of Professor Ernest Hooking,
of Harvard. She had previously been
in Boston sanatorium, from which she
escaped.
Miss O'Reilly has lived In Paris sew
erai years and In the war was con-
Service. The alleged incompetent told
her story yesterday in a calm and CO.
herent manner, never faltering in her
connected narrative. She told Of her
return from France and her visit to
Mrs. Hooking, her sister. in Boston.
Instead of receiving sisterly greetings,
as she eNpected, said Miss O'Reilly,
her sister acted c0olly and would not
permit her to see the Hooking children
Of whom Miss O'Reilly said she was
very fond.
In telling Of her Incarceration in the
sanatorium for year and five months,
Miss O'Railly said two doctors called
at her home one night and hurried her
away In an automobile. She charged
that two nurses beat and kicked her,
and at the first opportunity she cS
capped.
Cross-examination by counsel for
Miss Mary Boyle O'Reilly failed to
shake her story.
The hearing will be continued to-day.

TRENTON, Oct. 9-On Thursday
Of next week the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners will sit for the
purpose of hearing and determining
the application of the Public Ser
vice Railway Company for permission
to cease operating the present zone
system and return to the flat rate OF
seven cents with an additional cent
for a transfer. Notice to this effect
was sent today to all the interested
municipalities, numbering approx
mately $50, and they are asked to
have representatives at the hearing.
The latest turn in the zone fare
controversy is the result of the ap-
pearance of Mr.. McCarter before the
commission in Newark yesterday,
where he applied for permission to
stop the zone plan and restore the
flat rate, upon the ground that under
the former system, the company has
been losing on an average Of $4,000

Assurances were given today

Assurances were given today by
John w. Herbert. chairman of the
State Highway commission, at the
MONDAY Forum of the Chamber of
Commerce that the present
county bridge between this city and
South Amboy would be replaced by
a new concrete bridge which would
ost about one million dollars and
that travel through South Amboy by
automobile would be made pleasure
instead of the present distress. This,
Mr.. Herbert, showed, will be possible
by eliminating the route through the
Hole-in- the Wall and making the
Pennsylvania right of way first class
road.
In the course of his talk Mr.. Her
bert said that the matter Of replac-
ing the present bridge across the
Raritan river had been before the
Highway Commission for long time
and that much attention had been
given to it. Mr.. Herbert did not go
into any details concerning the speci-
fications of the new bridge, but it is
understood, that present plans call
for the new structure being built to
