Confined in Blockley
SHE WILL BE FREED

Confinement in an insane ASYLUM Of
persons with slight impairment of the
mind does not tend to improve their
condition, mental or physical"
Judge McCullcn made this assertion
today in Common Pleas Court after
hearing the case Of Miss Mary Nc
l'aughlin, sixty five years old, who was
confined in Blockley at the request Of
relatives who said they took this action
persons. Judge McCullen suggested
that the woman be released.
After She had been placed in the In
stitution relatives petitioned the court
for the appointment Of a guardian to
take charge of Miss McLaughlin' s
property. valued at $4,000.
Charles and James McCloskey, 1902
1ngersOll street, are among other rel.
atives who signed the petition.
Miss Mclaughlin opposed the action
and engaged Henry J. Scott to repre-
sent her. She was present at the hear
ing and underwent a slight examina-
tion to test her mentality from the
Judge himself
After doctor at the hospital had
testified that Miss McIaughlin had
imagined that she did, Judge McCullen,
addressing Miss Mclaughlin asked:
do you hear voices|'
Sure, you honor s. replied Miss
Mclaughlin.
Judge McCulicn then said. Unless
it can be satisfactorily shown 70 the
Court that this woman's mind is un-
balanced to such an extent that she
would be menace 10 herself or the
community. she shall not he kept in

but yet her mentality may be sufficient
to permit her TO resume her place in
the community with perfect safety to
herself and others. This temporary do

which seems so TO the Court, from the
testimony heard
Hospital authorities said they would
discharge the woman If some one in her
interest appeared to get her proper
place to live and adequate care. Judge
McCullen suggested that she be turned
