ANSWER IN TIE SILKuANCROSBT SUIT

Issue has been joined by Darius G. Crosby, of No..
90 Nassau-st in the suit Of his brother-in-law,
James B. Silkman. who claims $4,000 as damages
on the ground that Mr., Crosby malicousy procured
his incarceration in the Utica Insane Asylum, al
though hc was perfectly sound in mind. In his
answer Mr. Crosby declares that, believing the
plaintiff to be insane and that il was dangerous
both himself and to those around him that he
should remain at large, the defendant, 10 some
extent. did advise and support" Theodore II. Silk
man, of the plaintiff in certain proceedings for
the purpose Of placing the plaintiff in the state Asy-
lum for the Insane, at Utica; that all the acts
done bv the defendant in that behalf were done in
the full belief that Mr.. Silknan was insane and
dangerous that the defendant had been advised
previous to May 10, 1889, by competent medical
authority, that the plaintiff was certainly insane
and should he restrained Of his liberty; and that
Mr. SIkman had, prior to that time, threatened to
kill both his SOD and Mr. Crosby, and had beaten his
son. The answer makes n general denial except as
here set forth, and pleads probable cause" as a
justification of the defendants action in aiding the
effort to place Mr. >ilkman in the asylum. Mr.:
Crosby declared that he had no animOslty toward
his brOthcr-in-aw. that the elder member of the
family he had felt called upon to take action IN the
case and if Mr. Skman succeeds in getting Judg-
ment against him for 500, 900 he will pay every
cent Of it, William e. Trarhagen, the attorney for
Mr.. Crosby. says that the latter has to large ex-
tent supported the family.
