Law Regarding the Insane.

Judge Lindsey of the County Court
of Denver has succeeded in finding an
old law whereby lunatics in the coun-
~ hospital and state asylum. who
have any property, must pay for their
care
The law has been a dead letter for
years, but now that the insane wards
of both institutions are crowded it is
likely that it will be enforced At
least a number of communications
have passed between the Charity Board
of the City Council and Judge Lindsey
on the subject.
The law in question is as follows:
In case any person who is adjudged
to be lunatic. as hefeinbefore provid-
ct. has no friend or relative who will
assume the custody and care of said
lunatics, the County Court shall order
the said 1unatic to be placed in the
State Insane Asylum, or other hospital
or place suitable for the treatment of
the insane. If such lunatic has any es-
tate in the hands of his conservator. an
account fer the keeping of said luna
tic shall be rendered by the proper au-
thorities of said asylum or hospital or
the owner or owners of any other place
where he has been treated, to the
County Court. by which said commit
ment was ordered. and upon the fur
ther order of said court. the conserva-
tor shah pay said account out of any
moneys in his hands belonging to said
estate and which may be so applied" ]"

c0l ORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Denver Grand Jury Discharged.


Judge Booth Malone. OF the District
Court at Denver, on the 18th instant.
vacated the order for the grand jury
which was summoned to investigate
the alleged charter election and regis
tration frauds. The motion for the re-
moval OF the sheriff and coroner. and
the appointment of elisors to summon
new grand jury. made by the attor-
neys of the Honest Election League.
was first denied. after which the Judge
announced his decision discharging
the grand jurors.
In his decision Judge Malone ad-
dressed the panel present as follows:
But. gentlemen. the court desires
to say word to those of you who
have been summoned to appear here
as grand jurors.
THE court WISH to express his
high regard for you, collectively and
individually. Some of you the court
has known personally and somewhat
intimately for several years. and the
court now takes pleasure in saying
that 1t believes the general personnel
of this jury will rank as high in man.
hood, standing and character as that
of any jury called within this state,
within the knowledge of this court.
'"And yet. gentlemen. the court feels
compelled. in justice to you and the
court, to say that no unbiased friend
of the court or of the jury, and no
true lover of justice who is familiar
with the situation and condition OF
things as they now appear before the
and {strv hnnactlv hplfnvn
that any real benefits or practical re-
suits will or likely can be secured to
the public at this time under the eX-
isting conditions.
THE court believes that were you
to attempt to enter upon the duties
of grand jury at this time you would
be compelled to act without the ap-
proval. sympathy or support of large
part OF the general public and of the
very parties who have invoked the
power of the court to have a grand
jury called.
THE court believes that no matter
what you might do. or how you might
| do. your actions and even your mo-
tives will be misjudged and miscon-
strued.
You would enter upon your du-
ties. discredited and handicapped by
the actions and the attitude of the
very parties to whom you would nat
urally have the right 10 look for en-
couragement and assistance.
Il do not believe, therefore. that
you ought to be compelled to strug-
| gle with the disadvantages and sub
init to the unjust aspersions and crit
icisms that are bound to follow you
under the circumstances. for none of
which circumstances you are in any
wise to blame.
THE order heretofore made by the
court. upon the 18th day OF September.
| directing the sheriff to summon a
grand jury. will be and the same
| hereby is vacated and rescinded."
