SUPREME COURT HOLDS HE WAS
LEGALLY COMMITTED TO
ROCHESTER, ASYLUM.
HE NOW ENJOYS FREEDOM.
AND JUDGE WILLRICH SAYS HE Is
Competent TO MANAGE HIS
AFFAIRS.
Batch Of Supreme Court Decisions
Handed Down Yesterday-Inter-
esting Insurance Case.

The troubles of Patrick Kelly, who
got out of the Rochester insane asylum
some time ago on q writ OF haDeas
corpus, are not yet over and he may
have to make another legal fight be-
fore he is declared sane. The supreme
court holds, in a decision filed yester-
day, that, while the proceedings IN the
Ramsey county probate court, under
which Kelly was committed, may have
been irregular in some particulars, as,
for instance, the appointment OF three
persons to sit with the. judge as
jury upon the case (the, law PROVIDES
for but two). that thesee irregularities
do not invalidate the proceedings or
the findings. Neither willsthe fact that
1t does not appear that any warrant
was issued for the arrest OF the al
legged insane person. or that ne was
in court during the proceedings be SUI
ficient to impeach the judgment or
show want of Jurisdiction.
Judge Willrich, in a long decision
Saturday, published in the G o b OF
Sunday, declared that Mr.. Kelly is
now competent to manage his own az
fairs and that he is sane. If such pe
the case, the recommitment of Kelly
would probably be followed by his for
NAL discharge. Following is the sylla-
bus:
State of Minnesota, ex rel. Patrick Kelly, re-
spondent, VS.. Arthur F. Ki-bourne as su-
perintendent of the Rochester State Hospital,
appellant.
Syllabus. Held, sub chapter "A OF chap
ter As, G. l.. of 1896, did not authorize the pro
bate court to proceed to find the person IN
sane without bringing him into court, or CIV
ing him notice of the proceedings being taken
against him or an opportunity to defeno, ana
is not for any such reason UNCONSTITUTIONAL,
because not providing for due process OF law.
2. Held the record Of proceedings IN the
person to the hospital for the insane, does not
impeach itself and show want Of jurisdiction
by it's own silence, but in order to impeach the
Judgment of the court collaterally, the want
of jurisdiction must aff1rmatively appear by
the record itself; the fact that it does not
appear that any warrant had been issued for
the arrest of the alleged insane person, or
that he was present in court at any time dur
ing the proceedings, is not sufficient to I'M
peach the judgment or show want OF Juris-
diction.
g. Section 267 CT said sub chapter IA, pro-
vided that the court shall appoint two others,
who, with the judge himself, shall constitute
jury to examine the person and find whether
not he is insane; the court appointed three
others who, with the judge, held the examina-
ton and found the person insane
Held, the proceedings are not void by
reason of such irregularity; and cannot be
impeached colaterally on habeas corpus.
Order reversed. -Canty, j.

/. Plaintiffs evidence on the trial and his
examination before a notary, taken after a
loss pursuant to the terms of the insurance
policy, related to the same matters, and most
of the statements made on the one occasion
are repetitions of those made the
other, but there were several material contra
dictions and discrepancies; defendant offered
in evidence the whole written examination,
which was very long, and when the offer was
refused proceeded to offer separately each
question and answer, which was refused.
Held, no error, it was the duty of counsel
to pick out and offer only those portions which

4. provision in dn insurance policy pro-

and telling the insured in substance, that if
he got any insurance money he would have
to recover it in court.

II the insured misrepresented material facts
or was guilty of fraud.
He'd, the court properly -ef'.ed 'endant's
request to charge, in effect, that the slightest
possible exaggeration of the amount for value
of the property destroyed, made knowingly
and wilfully in the proofs of loss, avoided the
policy.
6. The policy provided that it shall be void

insured, touching any matter relating to the
insurance of the subject thereof, whether be-
fore or after loss. Held such wilful false
swearing as to material matter, on such ex-
animation of the insured after the loss. for
feited the whole due, and not merely
the amount due on the particular item. of dam
age or for the loss of the particular article,
to which the false statement related.
Z. The defendant pleaded and gave evidence
tending to prove certain complete defenses.
Held, the court erred in charging the jury
that plaintiff was in any event entitled to re-
cover a certain sum.
Order reversed and a new trial granted.

John Lundberg, appellant, VS.. A. D. David

son, assignee, etc., of the State Bank Of
Duluth, respondent
Where, after the execution of a mortgage,
the mortgagor became insane, and while in
that condition the mortgage was foreclosed
under the power, the foreclosure proceedings
are regular in form and comply with the let
ter of the statute, but the mortgage and the
purchaser at the sale (who instigated the fore
closure), believing that the mortgagor, by
reason of his insanity, would not be able to
redeem, did, for the purpose Of defrauding
him, sell and bid off the property for gross
ly inadequate price, the year to redeem ex-
pired and no redemption was made by reason
Of the continuance of such insanity.
Held, the sale is not absolutely void, but
vodable in court of equity, which under
such circumstances requires from the mort
gage and such purchaser higher degree
of fidelity toward the helpless mortgagor than
does a court of law; that the only remedy of
the mortgagor is an action in equity to set
aside the foreclosure sale and for leave to
redeem, and he could not set up such cause
of action as an equitable defense to an action
of forcible entry and detainer brought against
him by the purchaser in the municipal court
of Duluth for restitution after the year to re-
deem expired, though the statute authorizes
that court to try such an action where the
title to real estate Is involved, and the judg-
ment In that action is not bar to this ac-
ton. Order reversed, -Canty, ].
