HIP. COOPERS SANITY STILL IN DOUBT
Henry Prouse Cooper some months ago was com
mitted TO q private lunatlc asylum at Flushing,
L. l., on the certitcate of two physicians TO the
effect that he was of unsou. d mind ana not SAFE
person to be at large. Mr. Cooper obtained writ
of habeas corpus and a commission was appointed
to try the question Of his sanity. Much
testimony was taken before the commissioner and
sherfFs jury TO show that Mr.. Cooper was not of
sound mind Almost the only witness called IN be
half of Mr.. { ooper was Mr. Cooper himself The
Jury found that he was sane and capable OF manag-
ing his affairs. The attorneys for Mrs. Cooper, at
whose instance Mr. Cooper had been committed to
the asylum, opposed the motion maze to confirm
the verdict of the jury. Justice Barrett yesterday
decided that tue verdict of the jury is against the
evidence IN the case and must be- set aside The
memorandum by Justice Barrett IS to this effect:
After careful examination OF tine yoluminous test-
mony submitted upon this notion ind y Impossible to
sustain confirm the verdict OF the Sheriff Jury That
verdict appears TO me to be clearly against me weight
gard Of quite an overwhelming mass OF clear aud unm-
peached testimony and indeed u IL difficult 70 find any
substantial evidence 10 support the verdict There IN
certainly color for the petitioners contention that the
nds Of the jury must nave been diverted from the evil
dence by eXtIaneous considerations, and that the
verdict really represented their feelings and preudces
rather than their deliberate judgment. cannot but
think upon the whole, that the ends OF justice will be
promoted by the submission Of the testimony TO just
minds The verdict must therefore be set aside aud
new trial directed
