Chief Davenport told the magistrate |
that hitherto Barton had borne good |
reputation and had never before been |
accused of crime. Then he added that |
he thought he could show there was !
nothing in the present charge against
him. Barton asked the magistrate to |
commit him TO Bellevue hospital. say
ing he was very sick. The judge grant
