McDonald, the alienist, testified before Justice Mills in the Supreme Court at White Plains this afternoon that Edward Kturgcs Hosmer, former New York lawyer, clubman, and society man, now an inmate of Bloomingdale Asylum, was a paranoiac, and that it would be unsafe for him to be at large.Hosmer leaned back in his chair and laughed heartily at this testimony. Heis seeking his release from the asylum { on the ground that he was kidnapped when taken to the institution and that lie is sane.While Henry It. Barrett, who represents Louis Hosmer, a brother, was cross-examining Edward, the plaintiff recited poetry and read from articles he had written while abroad last year entitled “ Blows to the English Cabinet.” Hosmer declared that he had received a revelation from God in 1912, and had been receiving revelations ever since.” How’ did tirls revelation come to you? ” he was asked.*' Through feeling. love, intuition, thought, inspiration, conscience, and the still, small voice.
