Tie California Assembly has passed
most sensible bill to meet the plea of in
sanity in cases of murder. 1t would
seem to fit the case exactly. The ill.,
dicted man who pleads it is TO be first
examined as to his sanity without re-
gard to the crime charged. Ie decreed
to be sane, he is tried for murder, and
his false plea is to be treated as an ag-
gravatiOn Of the OffenSe. If shown to
be insane he goes to an insane asylum
at once for lite, so that lie shall never
harm anybody else. If, however, any
evidence turns up afterwards to prove
that the decision was wrong, then he is
to be taken and tried Of murder on the
original charge.
