Justice Oscar r. Luhring has taken
under advisement habeas corpus pro-

Barry, 80, who has been confined there
since he was acquitted on a murder
charge because of insanity in 1928.
At that time. a District Supreme
Court jury found Barry was demented
when he shot and killed Tyler B. Law
Ter. a street car conductor, on Febru
airy 20. 1922. Much of the time at
Barrys trial was occupied with testi
mony that there was a streak of insan-
ity in his family.
Through Attorney Foster Wood. the
patient claimed at the recent hearing
that he had been restored to normally
and should no longer be deprived of
liberty.
Assistant United States Attorney
Charles B, Murray opposed the release
of the prisoner on the testimony of Off
Gals at St. Elizabeth's that Barry is
