ANDERSON FREED,

Larceny Charge.
By the Associated Press.


OSS1NING, N. Y. December "a
Released from Sing Sing prison on
parole this morning, after serving
nine months for third-degree forgery,
William H. Anderson, former State
superintendent Of the Anu-Saloon
League. was Immediately arrested on
indictments charging grand larceny
and extortion.
Dressed in a gray suit and wearing
a new gray hat and black overcoat.
Andersen walked from the prison at
1e:t5 o'clock In the custody of De-
tective Charles Kane, attached to the
district attorneys Office in New York
City. They left at once for New
York City, where Anderson was to
be arraigned and bail fixed
Anderson's request that he be al
lowed to make the trip to New York
City in his own automobile was re-
fused by Detective Kane, who in
sisted that they go by train.
Met by Pastor at Gate.
The Rev DR.. Charles r. Ross, pastor
of the Central Methodist Episcopal
LII III OI uiCn fAnQeT-
son is a member, met the former
dry leader at the prison gate. After
Detective Kane had refused to make
the trip to Manhattan in Anderson's
car, the Rev. DR.. Ross drove them to
the railroad station in his own auto
mobile.

from the prison and to DR.. Ross au-
tonobile. He refused to make any
statement to the score of newspaper
reporters who were waiting at the

prised. According to prison employees,
Anderson accepted the $40 which is

however, instead of the one given to
departing prisoners.

turned at the same time the indict-
ment charging forgery in the third
