New York Daily Tribune -Saturday, 12/17/1904
Writ of Habeas Corpus to release Mabel from Dr. Bond's Sanitarium in Yonkers, NY. It was decided she was not insane - "The commitment was void by reason of its having been made out without notice or opportunity to be heard. But Miss Spang is a minor, and is held also by virtue of delegated parental authority. She is not, and, I think never was, insane. But she is disobedient and unfilial and is subject, when permitted her freedom, to a vicious influence and is easily led, and I find the restraint to which she is being subjected to be reasonable and necessary in the circumstances."
Justice Mareau, Superior Court of the Bronx.

MYSTERY IN SPANG CASE
Behind closed doors, Judge Mareau, of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn, yesterday continued his investigation into the facts connected with the case of Miss Mabel Spang, the handsome young daughter of Charles II Spang, a wealthy Pittsburg manufacturer, whose release from a Yonkers sanitarium is being sought by Henry J. Bebro, a Manhattan business man.
Miss Spang, attractively gowned, was an early arrival in the court room where she met her parents. No others save persons who were summoned to give evidence were admitted to the court room.
It was learned that in accordance with an order issued by Judge Mareau Miss Spang was allowed to go unaccompanied to the office of Lawyer Bambrich, of No. 309 Broadway, who is counsel for Bebe.
Attorney Bambrich requested the Court for the privilege of having a private interview with the young woman, and this was granted.
It was rumored that the case will develop sensational circumstances before the investigation, now conducted with such secrecy, is concluded.
