EDWARD w. CURTISS IS
 RELEASED FROM ASYLUM
Long Fight for Freedom Is Successful
 at Last

Edward W. Curtiss, formerly of Torrington and Salisbury, won his long fight for freedom Thursday afternoon when Judge Martin F. Manton of the United States circuit court of appeals in New Haven is- sued an order for his release from the state hospital for the insane at Mid dletown. After a two-day hearing during which Curtiss, who is 68 years old, was under a rapid fire of questioning the court held that he was not insane. The action was on a writ. of habeas corpus.
 The fight for Curtiss' freedom was conducted by Thomas J. Wall of Tor rington, who took the case through the state and federal courts, being firmly of the belief that his client was of sound mind.
 Following the courts decision, Curtiss, accompanied by his attor- ney, left New Haven by automobile. He announced his intention to go to Massachusetts, where he will make his home with daughter.
 Curtiss was questioned by the court for nearly two hours, telling a clear story of the litigation in which he has been involved and of his com mitment to the state hospital. He apparently made good impression on the court.
 Alienists were introduced by Judge Walter Holcomb, representing the superintendent of the state hos pital, and they testified that Curtiss was of unsound mind. Other witness es testified their belief that be was sane.
 Curtiss was committed to the asylum in December, 1920, while serving a nine-month sentence in Litchfield jail for criminal libel of several Connecticut lawyers, includ- ing Judge Lucien F. Burpee, then of the superior court. He had been arrested on a contempt of court charge, but this was dismissed and he was then re-arrested on the crim- inal libel charge.
 Judge Erwin s. Thomas of the U. s. district court gave a hearing on the case last December and in a de- cision later ruled that Curtiss was legally held and that the issue was one for the state court to decide. The superior court named a commis- sion to examine Curtiss and the commission held that he was insane, though one of the three members dissented. Judge Isaac Wolfe of the superior court upon receiving this finding decided that Curtiss should remain in the institution. Later, Judge Thomas issued an order trans ferring the case to the U. s. circuit court and the hearing was begun Wednesday morning. Curtiss was taken before the court in custody of two keepers.
 z The attack on the lawyers and superior court judge, which resulted in all this litigation, came after a divorce action had been brought by Curtiss' wife, Lucia Curtiss. The husband was ordered to produce their daughter in court'but refused to obey the order. Shortly thereafter, it was alleged, he issued a pamphlet con taining the attack.

FEVERISH ACTIVITY

LONDON, Oct. Y. Whether Premier Lloyd George, whose ad- ministration has long outlasted the administration of other great statesmen concerned in the Yer sailles treaty, and the making of peace, will fall as one effect of Mustafa Kemal's victory in Ana tolia, still hangs on the result of Thursdays meeting of the unionist members of the house of commons.
 In all political quarters today, there was state of feverish activ- ity. The prime minister himself consulted with his cabinet and pre- sided over a large meeting of ib eral ministers, undersecretaries, party whips and others.
