u. S. Court Likely
To Set Free EsMan
Without Country
Martin De Wal, an Alien,
Held Year ON Ellis Island
Awaiting Deportation; De-
MED Rights, Says Judge

Martin De Wal, the "man without 6
country" after one years confinement
on Ellis Island awaiting deportation 70,
alleged l. w. W. activities to a country
which denies his citizenship, may be
set at liberty. Federal Judge John c.
Knox said yesterday that if proof were
submitted that De Wal was unable to
furnish bond Of $1,000 unde, which
he is held. the court would sustain
the write Of habeas corpus and dis
charge the alien from custody.
When De Wal was arrested in Seat
tie, Wash, July IL, 1918, he claimed to
be subject Of the Queen Of Hol-
Hertegenlosch. May 8. 1880. Since then
the immigration authorities have not
been able to deport him because the
consul for the Netherlands has been
unable to satisfy himself that De Wal
was born in Holland and refuses to
issue his passport.
Has Nervous Exhaustion
De Wal reached Ellis Island from
Seattle in February, 1919. His long
stay there has undermined his health
and he is suffering from nervous ex-
haustion. Judge Knox was free in stat
ing yesterday that the continued de-
tention of this man due to circum-
stances over which he had no control
was unreasonable and unlawful.
Judge Knox in his opinion of the
case saids "The relator, De Wal, has
been deprived Of his liberty for prac-
tically one and half years. BY reason
Of what he has said and done he has
forfeited his right to remain in this
country; yet he has not been deported
and there Is no assurance as to when,
if ever, he will be deported.
THAT the government has had q
reasonable time in which to carry out
the deportation Of the alien is un.
deniable, and during such time it had
the right, when the proceedings have
been fair and in conformity with the
law, to detain the relator.
"Now, deportation, while it may re-
sion of q crime. is not the punish
ment Of a crime, and imprisonment fol-
an indefinite and interminable term
cannot, in my Judgment. be an Incl.
dent Of the warrant of deportation.
Not Imprisoned for Life
Suppose that neither the alien, no,
his government is ever able to estab.
lish his citizenship and, therefore, q
poocpVIC uOcS uVL IbSueS OF suppose
that Holland should refuse his admis-
sion to that country under any cir
cumstances, would it be seriously con-
tended in the present state of our i'm
migration law that this alien is to be
imprisoned, or rather deprived of his
liberty, for tho rest Of his natural life !
1t seems to me that such q possibility
is not warranted by law.
If such be the case. then an alien
under circumstances similar to those
here present, is in effect imprisoned
for life"
De Wal was represented at the hear
ing by. Charles Recht and the govern
ment by Assistant United States At
torney David v. Cahill.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 9.-Failure of either
Sir Oliver Lodge or Professor Hyslop
Of the Society for Psychical Research
to accept the challenge of Joseph r.
Rim, of New York, to pay $4,000 for
incontrovertible proof Of spiritual COM
munication has caused Mrs. John II.
Curran, of st. Louis, to take up the
gauntlet. To-day Mrs. Curran chal-
lcnged Joseph Rim to back up his re-
cent statement that he is "ready" to
duplicate any "stunts" purporting to
show supernatural communication.
Mrs. Curran, who as the medium for
the dictation Of Patience Worth poems
and stories has acquired national fame,
said her reason for accepting Rims
challenge is not for any personal salts
faction, but rather that she might be
able to prove conclusively to many
thousands of people that supernatural
communication is reality. She feels
that by either causing Rim to recede
from his position and refuse to meet
her, or by proving her declaration if
he should meet her challenge, many
persons now Influenced by his skep-
ticism will be convinced
In challenging Rim to back up his
statement Of his ability to duplicate
any stunt" Mrs. Curran saws she
