There we're picture excursions to
Parsifal's Monsalvati and other points,
pictures of the fight of Christendom
against the Moors and finally visits
to the modern cities of Toledo and

before in a Berlin class in geography

A jury before Justice Hitz in the

st. EliZabeth's Hospital. Eastern had
been confined for two years. but had

ney Ralph A. Cusick sued out writ of
habeas corpus for his release and
Justice Hitz held that the hospital
must show the man to be insane.

admitted that he had attacks of cpl

the proper place to confine such pa

but pointed out the Government had
no epileptic colony and the hospital
was the next best place.
