Religion gave Mrs. Margaret Hill Webb one week’s liberty. But today she again is in the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane, where, prior to her temporary release, she had been kept for five years. Authorities released her after her husband, a local pastor, and a representative of a religious cult, asked that she be turned over to them and "cured by prayer.” The experiment proved unsuccessful and she was found wandering in Chicago. She was placed in the psychopathic hospital there and then in the Illinois State Hospital at Chicago. After identification was established she was returned to the local institution.
