The case of Eugene Pendleton Carver, a
wealthy citizen of Brookline, Mass. who
was sent from Bennington to the asylum
at Brattleboro several weeks ago, is at
tracing some attention on the part of
newspapers and Others The case was be-
fore Federal Judge Howe at Rutland a
few days ago and in a news article relative
to the hearing the Rutland Herald said:
Attorney Eugene Pendleton Carver, a
prominent Brookline lawyer, at hearing
late yesterday afternoon before Judge
Harland B. Howe at the District court,
was granted his release through habeas
corpus proceedings from the Brattleboro
Retreat where he was unlawfully com
mitted last August. In his opinion of the
case, Judge Howe declared that a frank
and wicked fraud had been perpetrated
upon Mr. Carver"
Apparently this is case where the
Judge was not told the full story. Prob
ably it was not brought out that it took
six men, two doctors, two policemen and
two others to get Mr.. Carver out of a
room at the Walloomsac hotel where he
had been a center of trouble for his
friends for several days. If there was
any possible proceeding other than to
take him to the asylum for restraint and
treatment it is not clear to those who
