San Diego, Cal., Oct. 10—Dr. J.W. Peacock, for whom extradition was sought by North Carolina authorities as the result of his escape from the insane ward of the North Carolina penitentiary at the state capital, where he had been confined for the shooting and killing of Chief of Police Taylor at Thomasville, N.C., was freed on a writ of habeas corpus in Superior court today. He returned at once to his ranch near here.
