McClure Committted To Asylum After Insanity Hearing
W. H. McClure of Cedar Falls was brought to Waterloo by Marshal Enlov and found fit for treatment at the asylum after a thorough hearing before the commissioners. In Independence he was ordered committed to the asylum and taken there by Sheriff Caldwell. Once a famed Blickhawk lawyer and politician, his health has sharply declined, and he believes Father Donlin tampered with his first wife’s grave. He remains in a mild form of insanity but hopes for eventual cure and return to Cedar Falls. The case deeply saddens the Blackhawk bar, given his long career and early achievements as a jurist and attorney.
