years back there has been a sort OF

alienists on the subject. 30 that even
the textbooks speak Of legal insanity
and medical insanity as distinct. To
take extreme cases, iurists have con-
tended that no degree Of insanity
should exempt from punishment for
crime unless Il has reached such q
point that the person Is utterly I'M
conscious Of the difference between
right and wrong AZ the time Of CON-

And yet this treasure a thief has

thief. for he has already succeeded in
breaking through the strong guard
that watches over the Hohenzollern
museum and carrying on several OBJ

some OF the museums treasures. and

guilty and sentenced. On an appeal
doubts were raised as TO his sanity.
and ultimately Katz was sent 70 a lun.

During the proceedings on appeal the
prisoner. to prove his sanity. laid before
the judges an elaborate plan he had
formed for breaking into the julius
tower at Spandau. The president of
the tribunal retorted; That is IDIOT
