Bottle to Kill
Mental Dutu
By the Associated Press

Former Representative A. w,
Lafferty of Oregon today won
his legal battle to have stricken
from court records a 1855 find
ing that he was of unsound
mind.
The United States Court of
Appeals ordered the finding set
aside on the ground Mr.. Laf-
ferty was not served notice of
the final hearing in District
Court.
Mr.. Lafferty, who served as
his own attorney. was a men,
Der of the House between 1911
and 1915.
The Court of Appeals said he
did not learn of the finding he
was of unsound mind until
about a year after it was en-
tered on April 6, 1855.
However, as a result of the
court decree, Mr.. Lafferty was
committed to st. ElizabethS
Hospital here. Later he was
transferred to Oregon, where
he was in a State institution
| for several months. He was un-
conditionally released in Octo-
ber, 1855.
He returned here in the
spring of 1856 on legal business
and first learned of the court
decree, the appellate court said.
District Judge Charles F. Nc
Laughlin denied Mr.. Lafferty's
motion to set aside the court
decree on the ground he had
waited too long to bring the
court action.
Judge Mclaughlin, however,
said Mr.. Lafferty conducted
his case before him lin strict
accordance with the highest
ethical standards of his profess
SION and that his whole con-
duct and appearance indicate
he was in full possession of
excellent mental powers.
If Mr.. Lafferty was tenn
porarily upset or disturbed
mentally as of April, 1855,
Judge Mclaughlin said. it could
be attributed to the extremely
heavy burden of work and
responsibility carried on by him
at the time as counsel in litiga-
ton involving Oregon lands.
