Citizen Train Declared Insane, but Not
DangerOus-Re Released from JAN.

BOSTON, Nov. 9.-After several postpone
ments the examination into the sanity of
George Francis Train was held in the Probate
Court this morning by Judge McKim. The
petitioner was Lawyer F. A. Snow Train was
brought into court upon writ of habeas cor
pus issued by Judge McKim.
Elisha Boiand, NJ. D.. a doctor chosen by the
court to examine Train, testified that he had
examined him as to his condition of mind and
believed him to be insane. He believed Train
to have primary monomania. and to be pos
sessed of an overweening sense OF his own i'm
portance. On cross examination DR.. Boland
said Trains talk and actions could not be- laid
entirely to his egotism. He might be capable
OF attending to ordinary business, but would
not be able to oope with a shrewd business
man.
Mr.. Edwards. arguing as to Trains sanity,
said that the man was sound enough of m ind
to know what the poor deblors' oath was and to
refuse to take II.
Judge McKim said he did not believe the
man dangerous to himself or others, and did
not deem him sufficiently insane to be ordered
to an asylum. He did not believe him suf.
fcie9tly sane, however, to be held tor debt. and
should therefore order his discharge.
