Ijdgc Lewis Issued Order In Cfse,
But Authorities ot Institution
Turn Patient Over to His
Relatives.
Thursday, in the hearing of the case
of Geo. H. Bell at G roe nr boro, Judge
H. C. Lewis rendered an opinion to the
effect that Bell hud been ilTegelly com
i mitted to the Sanitarium, but for the
i sake of public safety he would recom
mend that he be confined for thirty
days mote, and if at ttie end of (hat
time no action was taken to Keep him
there, he should bo liberated without
further delay.
Or. account of 'the testimony intro
duced and the expressed willingness of
Bell’s relatives, deluding his father,
brother, two sisters and others inter
ested in the matter, the Sanitarium au- i
thorities released Bell to the custody of
his relatives and this will probably lx
the last of this now famous case.
Dr. L. M. Jones, superintendent of Che
Sanitarium, and experts Dr. Y. A. Lit
tle and Dr. E. M. Greene, were present
at the hearing Thursday.
The reading public will, ot course, re
call the fact that Bell has been coalined
here in the State Sanitarium for nearly
three years, during which time he pro
tested that he was sane and wrote
many let tom to papers of the ata*e ask
ing for.omittance to secure his libera
tion.

WASHINGTON.—Ib an opinion by
Justice Day in various cases ot the
United States against the express com
panies of the country, the supreme
court of the United States today held
that under the Elkins lavr express com
panies cannot legally grant franks for
the free transportation of the property
of their own employes or of the employes
of other express or transportation com
panies.
The decision held that to grant this
privilege would be to exercise undue
preference under the law which prohib
its all transportation companies from
pving rates which are not included in
the published schedule.

convicts upon the state farm
than upon the roads, the state
will always have several hundred of
these convicts who must be cared for..
It is the intention of the commission ah
present, it is said, to erect temporary,
quarters for the convicts as soon as the -
farm is purchased, and then, as soon
as it is practicable, to begin the erec
tion of a permanent brick penitentiary,
modem in all its details and capable of
housing as many as 1,000 convicts.
The commission, it is said, is influ
enced to take this step because there
many artisans among the white
convicts, who can be employed ln build
ing the penitentiary without cost to the
state. This will not hamper the worlt
which it is proposed to db on the farm;
because there will be- some months in
tho year when very little farm work.
can be done.
For |the purpose of getting infor-■
malion as to the probable number of
convicts which may be at the- disposal'
of the commission in doing 'the pro- ■
posed work, queries have been sent’ to*
all tho convict camps asking the nurwA
ber of carpenters, brick masons, ect.,
now confined in each.
The commission, in company with
Governor Smith, is engaged this week:
in looking over the descriptions of the'
tracts offered the stale for the location 1
of the prison farm, and it is probablo
thut the purchase will be made within
the nex! few days.
