Asks Medical Authorities for

mediately granted leave to recover
his health.
Habeas corpus proceedings to OBJ.

state courts of California, ended in
a decision that the court had no

Report Indicated Hysteria.
The medical report in Kennedy

that he was suffering from hystkria
and nervous disorders that made him
uncomfortable by the authorities at
the Mare Island Hospital. He was
sent to the State insane Asylum for
that reason.
Mr.. Wilbur feels. however. that it is
possible that Lieut.. Kennedy, IL re-
stored to duty and granted leave
would recover to q substantial degree
under the care of his wife and rela

of the Mare Island Navy physicians
on that point.
Should the medical officers believe
